"Oh dear! This isn't good!"
Fluttershy was running in a hurry while having Angel on her wagon. Terrorcreep and Naughty the Bat were following her from behind. They all were heading straight to Dr Fauna's Vet due to Angel got himself an injured foot during his practice for Ponyville Parkour Contest, and Fluttershy doesn't have bunny foot braces to treat his wounds.
"Honestly, Fluttershy..." Terrorcreep grumbled in anger, "Why can't you be firm and assertive with your bunny pet of yours?!" Angel gave the glare at Terrorcreep while Naught snickered amusingly. He groaned in anger before glared at them, which scared them a bit. He spoke, "Cut that out."
Fluttershy sighed, "Terrorcreep, I told you before about being assertive. The last time I used it, it sort of-!"
"Go overboard and out of control?" Terrorcreep asked. Fluttershy looked down in shame. He sighed, "Come on. That was 5 years ago. You already know how to control it, right?"
"True. But I rather not use it, unless it's emergency or fighting with the enemies," Fluttershy gulped fearfully, "Maybe not the fighting part..."
Terrorcreep sighed, "Oh just great..."
Fluttershy and Terrorcreep have arrived at Dr. Fauna's Vet House. As Fluttershy pushed the door, but for some reason, it won't budge. But she tried and tried again to push the door. But again, no avail...
Terrorcreep hummed, "Are you sure she would be here today?"
Fluttershy looked concern and worry as she knocked the door for few times, "Is anypony there?"
"Huh?!" The voice asked in concern. Fluttershy and Terrorcreep looked at the door's peephole, where the eye was looking at them. She asked, "Fluttershy? Terrorcreep? Oh, am I glad to see you!"
"Dr. Fauna, what's going inside?" Terrorcreep asked in concern as he tried to push the door, "By the looks of door, it almost looked like you've got packed or something."
As if it answered his question, Dr. Fauna barely and struggled open the door. It revealed many yet various animals inside the vet, which and surprise the couple.
Dr. Fauna sighed, "You don't know the half of it." She looked at Angel. She approached to the rabbit and said, "Ohhhh. Somebunny hurt his foot. Let's bandage that up so he can get back home." She turned to Fluttershy and Terrorcreep, "I'd like to keep him overnight, but as you can see, my place is just bursting with animals! I don't think I can take in even one more critter right now!"
Fluttershy hissed, "Oh dear..."
Dr. Fauna managed to move herself and couples inside the vet. Both Fluttershy and Terrorcreep were in shock and surprise of what they were looking at. They both couldn't believe that the vet is filled and packed with lots of many various animals. Some were eating their foods. Others were playing around the vet. A few were minding their own business - sleeping, doing other activities and more.
"You really have your hooves full here." Fluttershy said in concern.
Dr. Fauna sighed as she put some bandages on Angel's foot, "This place is like a zoo! Then again, it's normally like that, but still..." She then screamed in fear, "I can't keep up!"
"No kidding...: Terrorcreep said in agreement before hissed as he patted gently on his Vampire Fruit Bat, "Good thing that I'm not a vet, otherwise I would have lose my temper right now."
Naught the Vampire Bat snickered amusingly while imaging about Terrorcreep being a vet. He then earned his master's angry glare at him, making the bat nervous and scared.
"I just can't believe all these poor little animals are hurt. What happened?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm flummoxed!" Dr. Fauna said in concern as she looked at the animals and their activities especially they're comfortable with vet like it's their home, "Every day, there's more and more animals on my doorstep. Most of them just have minor ailments – hurt wings, stuffy noses, and such. But the trouble is even after they're all healed up, I can't seem to get these comfy critters to leave!"
"Oh, dear." Fluttershy said in concern, "They do seem to have made themselves right at home here."
"I wonder why they chose to flock to my office. It just doesn't make sense." Dr. Faun said in confusion and concern.
Terrorcreep hummed while looking at his girlfriend suspiciously, "Why do I get the feeling this is Fluttershy's handiwork."
"What?!" Fluttershy asked in shock and anger, "I have nothing to do with this. But I did tell everpony about Dr. Fauna is the best vet pony in Equestria." She then noticed Dr. Fauna's scared looks and Terrorcreep's annoying looks. She yelped, "Okay. It does sound like I have something to do with this.
Fluttershy sighed as she looked at Dr. Fauna, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I just know animals feel safe and happy under your care."
"Normally, I don't mind if a snake wants to slither in or a raccoon needs a rest," Dr. Fauna said calmly before shown concern and uneasy looks, "but now this place is so full, I have no space to treat any injured animals."
"Just force them out," Terrorcreep said firmly.
Dr. Fauna sighed, "I tried. They're just too... stubborn to listen to me. And of course, I don't want to be too assertive with them. They're sensitive creatures."
Terrorcreep groaned, "Really? Sensitive with these animals?"
Fluttershy hummed thoughtfully, "I'm going to fix for you!" Dr. Fauna and Terrorceep looked surprise. She continued, "I already have the perfect solution that'll make the critters happy and give you more space."
"You're joking," Terrorcreep remarked dryly.
Dr. Fauna sighed, "Whatever plans you have in mind, the sooner you fix it, the better!'
Fluttershy smiled confidently, "I'm on it!"
Terrorcreep sighed while looking at Naughty, "This might end in ugly results especially inviting some troubles..."
"Huh?" Naughty looked and shrugged in confusion and dumbfound.
Fluttershy has summoned all of her friends to come to her cottage for an important meeting. As they did, they took their seats, at once. Terrorcreep and Shadow Dragon were among them as well. They all began to have some discussion.
"I want to thank you all for rushing right over when I called." Fluttershy thanked calmly and happily, "Dr. Fauna needs my help with a serious problem." They all chatted and wondered in concern about it. She spoke, "Her vet clinic is a bit... maybe, um... overrun with adorable critters in dire need of a safe place to lay their heads, and... they don't have anywhere to go!"
"Oh, that's just awful." Rarity said in concern.
Terrorcreep sighed, "That's hardly an awful..." Fluttershy gave him a glare, making him to ask, "What?"
"The point is that Dr. Fauna did help us a lot, Terrorcreep. You saw it, didn't you?" Applejack asked in annoyance, making Terrorcrep shrugged of not caring. She continued, "Dr. Fauna's always fixin' Winona up when she ain't feelin' too fine, so helpin' her out is A-okay by me."
The rest of Mane Six chatted and agreed to help Dr. Fauna to get more space for her clinic while moving the animals out to their forest.
Fluttershy smiled, "Oh, that's great news! Because it means you'll all be helping me with something special, too. Something that's been a dream of mine for a long time."
Pinkie Pie squealed happily, "Oh, goody! Is your dream to make a bouncy castle shaped like a gigantic bundt cake?"
"Really?" Terrorcreep asked dryly.
"So? What is it, Fluttershy? Spill!" Rainbow demanded impatiently.
Fluttershy smiled, "My dream is to build a real animal sanctuary." Her friends were impressed and amazed by it. She continued, "A beautiful habitat where every animal – whether sick or scared or even just lonely, feathered or furry, scaly or slimy – every critter would be welcome. My sanctuary can be the one place in Equestria they call home 'til they feel ready to take on the world."
Most of her friends were amazed and touched by Fluttershy's dream while Terrorcreep was annoyed about it. They all commented about hers.
"[Twilight] Wow, Fluttershy! I've never heard you speak with such conviction. [Rarity] Oh! That was exquisite! [Rainbow] Pretty awesome. [Shadow Dragon] That's really impressive."
Fluttershy smiled, "Oh, thank you, everypony. You all taught me so much about building my confidence over the years. It's because of your friendship that I finally feel able to make my dream project a reality."
Terrorcreep scoffed while crossed his hooves, "Building an animal sanctuary is the dumbest idea I ever heard."
Everyone gasped in shock, and even Fluttershy is. How could Terrorcreep talk like that to her especially he should know how sensitive she is about the animals?!
Fluttershy shuttered in shock, "T-T-Terrorcreep, h-how could you?! Think of other animals! They need a place to stay."
Terrorcreep scoffed, "Not my concern."
"Terrorcreep!"
"Hey, just force the animals and make sure they go back and stay inside the forest or jungle, and never bother Dr. Fauna again! Be assertive and gave them some tough love! Simple as that!"
"Terrorcreep, I told you before that being assertive is scaring them or even angered them. And not to mention, they're very sensitive creatures!"
"And you'd think I care about these animals, why?!"
Fluttershy groaned in anger before looking at Naughty. She realized what Terrorcreep likes the most. She's gonna use it against him.
"Well, think about the bats," Fluttershy said slyly. Everyone especially Terrorcreep turned and looked oddly at her. She smiled and nodded, "Yes. I know you like the bats. And imagine what happen to the bats if they get healed and get too comfortable with Dr. Fauna's clinic."
Terrorcreep hummed suspiciously, "I don't know. I have a terrible imagination."
Fluttershy smiled before nuzzled his face gently, "Well, if they stay in the clinic for too long, they not only scared the ponies but also animals. And who knows what they can do to those poor bats? Remember what I told you about Applejack's Vampire Fruit Bats Case? That could turn things ugly."
Applejack scoffed, "I'd never forget about that."
"Especially turning Fluttershy into Flutterbat," Pinkie added happily.
Twilight grunted, "Not very the best idea I've come up to solve Applejack's Pest Problem."
Terrorcreep hummed while giving her a suspicious glare while thinking about the offer. He sighed, "Fine. I'm doing this for my bats. Just the bats. They're my priorities, not others. Got it?"
Fluttershy smiled as she gave her boyfriend a hug, "Dully noted." She departed and smiled at him, "I can guarantee you that animal sanctuary is perfect for all of animals, and even the bats."
Terrorcreep nodded, "I hope so..."
Shadow Dragon groaned, "Here we go again. Always with the bats..."
Applejack groaned in agreement, "Why does it always have to be bats?!"
"Looks like everyone's agreed about our subject," Fluttershy said in relief before showing her concerned looks, "But I can't build the sanctuary alone. Will you join me?"
Everyone chatted and exclaimed happily about helping Fluttershy to make her dream come true, and even Terrorcreep reluctantly agreed. However, unknown to the heroes, they were being watched and spied by a black eyed bat-like from the front window.
Inside the dark chamber, Spiritcurse was looking at her dark crystal ball since she was the pony, who has spied on Fluttershy and her friends from the cottage via the spy bat. She hummed thoughtfully before smirked darkly and amusingly.
She then heard some hoofsteps. She turned to her back and found Spiritshadow and Krennic, an aged white unicorn with blue gentle mane combed and short tail worn military suit, his cutie mark is skull with wings, have entered the chamber. They both bowed down to the ground before them.
"My dear sister, what can we do for you?" Spiritshadow asked.
Krennic nodded, "Yes. We live to serve you, my lady."
"Good. This mission is very crucial. There are rumors that Fluttershy may know where the location of Element of Thunder." Spiritcurse said darkly and calmly. She turned to her lieutenants, "And therefore, I want you both interrogated her for it."
"That's interesting. Taking on the weakest link of heroines," Spiritshadow asked amusingly before laughed, "I loved it! I may finally catch the most exquisite essence!"
Krennic nodded, "I assure you, my lady. We will not fail you. The Element of Thunder will be ours."
"Good," Spiritcurse said amusingly, "I also found out that she's building special project of hers. So, join her construction crew..."
While waiting for their friends' bringing the experts, Fluttershy was setting up her presentation for her 'animals' sanctuary'. Terrorcreep was helping her out while teaching her how to be firm and presentable when presenting her ideas to the experts. She practiced her presentation perfectly for almost five times.
"Okay. Nice work, Fluttershy," Terrorcreep commented before showing his concern looks. He looked at the covered blanket of her 'presentation', "Though I wouldn't give my hopes up yet."
"Why not, Terrorcreep?" Fluttershy asked calmly.
"You can't just show the experts your 'dream board' of pictures and drawings, you have to show and explain them about how to achieve your dream like explanation and detailing the ideas, location, what materials to use for your dream and most important of all - blueprint of how the animals' sanctuary is gonna be look like." Terrorcreep detailed about her presentation, "And don't say the picture can tells everything and it's just nature."
Fluttershy smiled, "That's the idea."
Terrorcreep has his jaws dropped down in shock, "You're kidding me?!"
Suddenly, the door just opened by Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie. And they also brought three experts that could Fluttershy make her dream come true.
"Okay, Fluttershy. Like we promised, we've brought the experts as promised," Applejack said confidently. She turned to a pink Earth Pony with grayscale colored mane and tail worn cowgirl's brown suit and hat, and her cutie mark is a lasso. Orange Earth Pony smiled, "Meet Wrangler! She's a friend of mine from Winona's sheep-herdin' competitions! Heh. She's an expert in animal enclosures."
Wrangler smiled and shook Fluttershy's hoof, "Howdy, missy! I'd be glad to do my best to help you out, partner."
"Say hello to Hard Hat!" Pinkie exclaimed happily as she pushed a dark blue Earth Pony with green spiky mane and short tail worn construction vest and hat. She continued, "He's the best construction pony in Ponyville. He can build anything you could ever, ever, ever want!"
Hard Hat smiled and shook Fluttershy's hoof, "It's nice of meeting you, Fluttershy."
"And this is Dandy Grandeur," Rarity introduced a lighter yellow unicorn with stylish purple mane with white streaks and purple short tail has a small gentle mustache worn dark purple furry coat with a tie-bow. She smiled, "He's the pony Shorty recommended me to hire. He's the premiere interior designer of the Canterlot elite. He helped me when I was setting up my Canterlot boutique."
Dandy smiled and bowed, "I'd be thrilled to work with you."
"I'm glad you all came," Fluttershy said happily. She then looked up and found Krennic worn his white vest with blue tie-bow marching in, along with black parrot with blue flames. She was surprise, "Oh my. And you are?"
"Orson, my dear," Krennic or 'Orson' introduced calmly before gently hoof-shake with Fluttershy. Terrorcreep looked at Krennic suspiciously especially his bird like he knew them from somewhere. He continued, "I'm a manager, architect, developer and designer of building, transports and even making the best land in Equestria."
Krennic's Parrot squawked happily, "Best Land! Best Land! Best Land!"
"Oh, how cute. Polly want a cracker? Want a cracker?" Fluttershy said happily as she held the bird cracker. Krennic's Parrot yelped in concern as he tried to resist. But instead, she put it right into parrot's beak. The parrot shown annoying looks while chewing it. She giggled, "Oh... He likes it."
Krennic smiled, "I heard you need some help. So, I thought I would lend my support and resources to assist you."
"Oh, how nice of you. Thank you," Fluttershy smiled happily, "Please, take your seat."
Her friends led the experts to have a seat. They then brought and gave the sandwiches and cups of tea for them to drink. Everyone turned and faced to Fluttershy.
Fluttershy continued, "Thank you all for coming here. It's wonderful that you all could join me to discuss the Ponyville sanctuary project. My friends have so many nice things to say about each of your talents. This is a big project, so I'm happy to have such experienced ponies working on it with me."
"The honor is mine," Krennic said humbly.
Dandy nodded before looking at Rarity, "Rarity and Master Thinking has impeccable taste in design and friends, so I can't wait to work with you, you know?"
Rarity smiled, "Don't I know that."
Wrangler cheered, "Yee-haw! I'm just lookin' forward to helpin' ya out, ma'am! And the animals."
Hard Hat nodded and asked, "So, uh, Pinkie Pie said you drew up some blueprints?"
"Um, not exactly. It's more of a dream board." Fluttershy said uneasily.
She pulled out the blanket. It revealed an art block, filled with pictures and notes of nature, forest, lake, and animals' various nests and caves, and it even has the drawing draft of animal sanctuary. The experts looked surprise and shock about the drawing board she has made.
Terrorcreep sighed, "I told you not to give your hopes up."
Fluttershy groaned, "Just let me handle it."
"Hmmm, that sure doesn't look like an animal hospital." Krennic said in surprise.
"Well, that's because it's not. It's a sanctuary." Fluttershy explained, A place that is safe but not restrictive. Cozy but natural. A place where the animals can come and go as they please."
The experts looked uneasy and concern while looking at the drawing board. Krennic remained calm and firm, and at the same time, he smiled secretly like he has some plans about it. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie approached to the experts.
"So, can you build it?" Three Mares asked.
Three experts gave a nervous chuckles while Krennic smiled proudly and firmly.
"Don't worry. I've done this before," Krennic said proudly, "I assure you that we will make your dream come true."
Terrorcreep was still suspicious on them especially the scent he smell from them. He can't figure it out of where he has seen them before.
Fluttershy, Pinkie and Terrorcreep led Hard Hat and Krennic to the location, where she wanted to build the animal sanctuary - a green landscape filled with grass, flowers, forest and a long flow of river. She then showed the picture of her animal sanctuary. And at the same time, she fed Krennic's parrot with some crackers again.
"I want the sanctuary to have an open floor plan. No walls. More like an enclosure that melts into the trees. With a gate in the back." Fluttershy explained, "That way, the animals can return to the forest right when they feel ready."
"Sneaky! I like it!" Pinkie commented.
"You know, uh, I designed the Ponyville Hospital." Hard Hat said in concern as he approached Fluttershy, "I could do the exact same thing right here. I still have the blueprints. Though it'll take a while to clear all these trees."
Fluttershy shook her head, "But I don't want to clear the trees. I want to use them."
"Are you sure? What you're talking about doesn't really seem like a cohesive structure. Or any structure I'm familiar with."
"Critters don't live the same way ponies do. I know this is unconventional, but that's because we're trying to do something that's never been done before. I really believe it'll work."
While Hard Hat was doubtful and concern, Krennic was surprisingly calm, "It will be done."
"Really?" Everyone but Fluttershy asked in surprise.
Krennic nodded, "Yes. I've built many buildings, shops, military bases and more, and even designed best products and weapons in my life." He turned and looked at the landscape, "But for this, now this is challenge. I will make your dream come true!"
Krennic's Bird squawked happily, "Dream come true! Dream come true!"
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much!" Fluttershy said happily as she shook Krennic's hoof firmly, "Wow, you're really dependable."
"Yeah... Too dependable..." Terrorcreep said suspiciously, "Who are you, Orson?"
"I'm not sure if that is confidence or arrogant." Hard Hat said in concern, "And I don't like it. He scared me now about building the sanctuary."
Pinkie smiled before patted Hard Hat's back, "Aw, don't worry too much. You can handle it."
Inside Rarity's Carousal Boutique; Fluttershy, Terrorcreep and even Krennic were meeting up with Rarity and Dandy. They were discussing of materials and items to input on sanctuary. She again fed Krennic's parrot some crackers.
"Which one do you like for the window treatments?" Dandy asked as he shown purple silk and brown silk with greenish patterns.
"Ooooh! Loving the print on those!" Rarity commented.
"Um, not to be rude, but there must be some mistake." Fluttershy said in concern, "We have no need for curtains at the sanctuary."
Dandy hummed, "And whyever not?"
Fluttershy shown her drawing board, "Everything is gonna look natural in the animal habitats, not like it was made for ponies."
"All those shades of brown and green?" Dandy asked before chuckled a bit, "But... they're so... drab, you know?"
"Drab? You're calling the colors of beautiful trees drab?" Fluttershy demanded in shock.
"Exactly!" Dandy said proudly as he levitated two silks up, "The natural look is not in right now. This is better. Trust me."
Terrorcreep shook his head, "What an idiot." Dandy glared at him. He explained, "Trust me. Fluttershy won't approve of this because she knows the animals and nature too well."
"Exactly," Fluttershy said in agreement, "I know the animals would be happiest with dirt brown pillows and leaf green accents."
Dandy hummed in concern, "I-I don't know..."
"It can be done," Krennic said amusingly. Everyone looked at him. He smiled, "After all, we all must do what client wants. She knows the best."
Rarity hummed, "Orson does made a point."
Fluttershy smiled, "Thank you."
"And you don't mind getting dirty?" Terrorcreep asked suspiciously.
Krennic smiled proudly, "No, I don't mind. I've dealt and worked with this kind of working progress for countless times. This won't be any different."
"That was brave for a gentlepony like him," Dandy commented before hissed, "I even couldn't do it."
Rarity nodded, "I agreed."
Fluttershy, Terrorcreep and Krennic headed off to Applejack's Sweet Apple Acres. Wrangle brought various cages and even baskets-like house. This has made Fluttershy very uncomfortable and concern about them. She fed the parrot some crackers again.
Wrangle finished her explanation, "And right there, we got your standard sheep-travelin' cage. Fits two critters, dependin' on size."
Fluttershy looked uneasy and concern while looking at cages. Terrorcreep turned and looked at Wrangle, "Do you have something else that doesn't involved of cages?"
"Well, not really?" Wrangle shrugged, "Why?
Applejack gasped in realization, "I forgot! Fluttershy's worried about her critters. They get traumatized and scared."
Fluttershy nodded, "Exactly! Ooh!" She approached and held a basket-like with a hole, "This is the perfect base for a little nest. I'll take a bunch of these and anything else the animals can burrow into."
Wrangler hummed in concern, "You sure you don't want somethin' more secure for the critters? You wouldn't want a bunny wanderin' into the wrong cave, would ya?"
"No! No cages." Fluttershy said firmly, "I want to give the animals the freedom to come and go. It's the only way they'll feel comfortable."
Wrangle looked uncertain and concern, "I don't know about this."
"Well, she's the boss," Krennic said firmly before he approached to Fluttershy, "Rest assure, Fluttershy. We will make your dream come, no matter what."
"Seriously, is he always so optimistic?" Wrangle asked curiously.
Applejack shrugged, "To be honest, I have no idea..."
Terrorcreep hummed suspiciously, "Yeah, I do. And I think I know who you really are, Orson..."
During Three Days...
Hard Hot and his construction crew began their working and construction on Fluttershy's animal sanctuary. Dandy struggled of putting and planted plants, grasses and mud on the area, despite hating to work on nature land. Wrangle was putting some pillows and any animals' nesting grounds for them to feel relax and comfortable.
Fluttershy often came and checked on the team's working progress on her animal sanctuary. At the same time, she also fed Krennic's parrot again. This irritated and annoyed it a lot. Terrorcreep is also keeping an eye on Krennic and his parrot when they're whispering and talking with the experts about what to do with sanctuary. He also noticed something amiss in animal's sanctuary. He doesn't like it.
Both Krennic and his black parrot entered the camp. Black parrot squawked angrily as he transformed back into Spirishadow. The shadowy ghoul muttered and complained angrily.
"I hate being a bird especially a stupid parrot!" Spiritshadow exclaimed in anger, "I mean seriously! That stupid shy pony tried to feed me some stupid crackers! I hate bird crackers! Yuck! I hate them!"
Krennic groaned in anger, "Be quiet, fool!" Using his Crystal Ball, he communicated with Spiritcurse. He spoke, "All goes according to our plans, my lady."
Spiricurse smiled, "Excellent. Contact me, once you get what we're looking for."
Krennic smiled, "Understood. She will answer us of what we're looking for."
On third day's evening, Fluttershy has returned to her cottage after her inspection on animal's sanctuary. Terrorcreep also followed her back home as well.
"Fluttershy, we need to talk," Terrorcreep said firmly. Fluttershy turned and looked at him. He spoke, "It's about Krennic."
"What's wrong? Did he do something bad? Is something wrong with the sanctuary?" Fluttershy asked in concern.
"Not just that. I don't trust him. Not one bit."
"Seriously?! Why? He seems a nice pony."
"I highly doubt Orson actually did it out of goodness and generous, or even care about animals. He's up to something. I can smell it.""
"Come on, Terrorcreep. Krennic did very good job of building Sanctuary. And I can't wait to see how it turns out to be."
"Trust me, Fluttershy. I've seen him somewhere before. And whatever he's doing, it's not gonna be an animal sanctuary. It's gonna be worse."
"Terrorcreep, I think you're overreacting for nothing. By tomorrow morning, you're gonna be shocked and surprised that my dream is coming true!" Fluttershy said calmly before yawned loudly. She headed off, "And besides, let's get some sleep. I'm beat."
Terrorcreep hissed as he held Fluttershy's hoof, "No, Fluttershy! You can't do this!"
Fluttershy was in shock and confuse. The animals especially Angel and Naughty are worried of what's going to happen next. She turned and looked at Terrorcreep. And just before she could ask, she became angry as she suspect on his attitude.
"I shouldn't have known," Fluttershy snarled in anger, confusing Terrorcreep. She snapped, "You'd never want to help make my dream come true!" He was in shock. She continued before glared at him, "I should have known. You really are selfish boyfriend I ever had! All you ever care is your stupid bats than other animals!"
Terrorcreep groaned, "Fluttershy, I'm telling you-!"
Fluttershy interrupted angrily, "Stop! I don't want to hear it! I know you love bats. I understand, but what I want is you understand me! I'm still going to do it!"
"Fluttershy, it's not you or animal sanctuary that I'm worried. It's Krennic. And trust me, I sense something amiss among him! You can't trust him!"
"Terrorcreep, I usually listen to you for advice and strategy. But this time, I'm not going to listen. Just go home now."
Terrorcreep was in shock and upset, " If you do this, you're gonna get yourself into troubles!"
Fluttershy shouted in anger and assertive, "Go home now, Terrorcreep! I don't want to see you again!"
Terrorcreep groaned in anger, "FINE! BITCH!"
Fluttershy gasped in shock. Terrorcreep turned and slammed the door hard, making most of plates, pots and flower pots shaken, crashed and smashed to the ground hard. Naughty quickly escaped before he get himself into some troubles. Her animal friends especially Angel yelped in concern. She groaned and screamed in anger but softly.
Fluttershy screamed softly, "STUPID VAMPIRE PONY! I HATE YOU!"
"You scream is weak, Bitch!" Terrorcreep shouted angrily.
Fluttershy grunted angrily, "Stupid bat."
On the next day, Fluttershy came and arrived at her new animal sanctuary, where she found it amazingly beautiful and real. It almost looked exactly like her drawing board. She climbed down the hill and approached to Krennic and his crew, who looked unusually nervous and worried than before.
"Oh my, this is what I wanted," Fluttershy commented happily. She turned and looked at Krennic, "Thank you so much, Mr. Orson."
Krennic smile and bowed, "The honor is ours." He turned to three experts and the crew, "You may go." And just before Fluttershy could ask, three experts quickly headed off at once. While she was confuse and concern, he spoke, "Well, you know them, they can't stand on nature like you and me."
Fluttershy sighed, "Can't say that I blame them much." She smiled, "Either way, I appreciate your help, Orson. Dr. Fauna will be bringing the animals."
Suddenly, Fluttershy heard some animals' loud noise. She, Krennic and even his parrot pet turned their back and found Dr. Fauna bringing and leading the army of animals to the sanctuary.
"Hello! Oh, the animals have been so excited for the sanctuary, they couldn't wait any longer!" Dr. Fauna said happily before laughed, "Can we take a look inside?"
Fluttershy smiled, "You may, Dr. Fauna."
Dr. Fauna signaled the animals to head out and check out. They all went to various location to check out and have fun at their newly sanctuary. Dr. Fauna approached to Fluttershy. Krennic turned and looked at his parrot. His bird nodded and smirked happily.
"Oh my. This is the best sanctuary I ever seen," Dr. Fauna commented happily.
"It is," Fluttershy said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Orson."
"The honor is mine, Fluttershy," Krennic said happily before looked at his parrot, "Polly want a cracker?"
Fluttershy giggled happily. As she was about to give the cracker to Krennic's parrot, its face suddenly turned into horrific demonic looks to screech in anger. It scared Fluttershy and Dr. Fauna off. The parrot transformed into Spiritshadow. He grabbed and thrown her to the cage, which emerged from the ground.
Dr. Fauna yelped in concern before accidentally bumped on Krennic, who grabbed and thrown her straight into the Fluttershy's cage. He turned and faced at the animals. He took a remote control as he pushed a red button on it. The animal sanctuary faded away at once like an illusion. They all revealed large various mechanical cages, which immediately grabbed and trapped all of them inside at once. The animals screeched and screamed, and even panicked in fear and worry.
"W-What's going on?!" Fluttershy asked in concern, "Why are you doing this, Orson?! Let the animals go! You can't caged them!"
"My name is not Orson," Krennic said firmly, shocked Fluttershy. He continued, "I am Krennic - Spiritcurse's second-in-command. And I don't give a damn of how important the animals are to you."
"And I'm Spirishadow!" Spiritshadow hissed before thrust the crackers into Fluttershy's mouth, "And this Polly hate crackers! Eat them, bitch!"
Fluttershy coughed and spitted the crackers out, "W-What do you want from me?!"
Krennic gave his glare at Fluttershy, "Tell me. Where is the Element of Thunder?"
Spiritshadow chuckled evilly," Because if you don't, the animals are going to lose more than just a home..."
Fluttershy gulped, "Please... Don't..."
Dr. Fauna hissed, "Oh dear. Somepony help..."
Unknown to anyone, Angel spotted everything from the top. He screeched and panicked in fear as he quickly paddled the wagon to find and get some help.
Somewhere deep inside of Sweet Apple Acre's Vampire Fruit Bat Orchard, Terrorcreep was hanging upside down due to his tail attached and held tight on the tree's branch. He was hanging out with other bats including Naughty. He was still angry and upset with Fluttershy for being stubborn and ignorance to his warning.
"I swear Fluttershy's going to get herself killed. All this because of the animals." Terrorcreep complained angrily before huffed, "If she's going through it, then I'm done. I'm not going to help her again..."
Naughty gave his annoying and angry looks at Terrorcreep, who was annoyed, "Don't give me that look, Naughty! I'm not doing this!" Naughty screeched angrily at him. He groaned, "It's not my fault that she doesn't listen to me. Her kindness and compassion always gets her into trouble especially if it's animals. She's such a bitch!"
However, Naughty remained firm and angry as he gave the glare at Terrorcreep. It then screeched and gestured about him and Fluttershy are always be together and loved, despite the argument they have. He was annoyed and angry about thinking of it before showing concern and upset.
Terrorcreep sighed, "You're right. I still love her. Her kindness always makes me soft. I'd better check on her, and apologize to her. Maybe I'm just a selfish pony, who cares about the bats."
Naughty smiled happily. As Terrorcreep and Naughty landed on the ground, they heard some noise. They looked up and found Angel entered and arrived at the orchard. Angel make some noise and gestures about Fluttershy's in grave danger, which concern and worried him a lot.
"Oh no... Fluttershy!" Terrorcreep said in concern.
Using his ghoulish claws and dark magic; Spiritshadow was torturing and interrogating Fluttershy by slapping, punching, kicking, whipping and even electrocuting her a lot. She was badly injured and bleeding from her nose, head, shoulders and hooves. Krennic stood there and watched darkly at her as he was waiting for the answers about the Element of Thunder.
And at the same time, their Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts were guarding the animal prisoners and even Dr. Fauna. The vet couldn't stand on watching Fluttershy getting tortured and interrogated by the enemies.
Dr. Fauna hissed, "Stop! Stop it! Leave Fluttershy alone!"
"QUIET!" Spiritshadow screeched angrily at Dr. Fauna and the animals yelped in fear. They all got silenced at once. He turned and glared at weakened Fluttershy, "Have enough? Or does Polly wants some crackers?!"
"Does he?" Fluttershy asked slyly, surprising Spiritshadow. She giggled a bit, "After all, you do enjoy being a parrot and loved eating the crackers."
"What was that?!"
"You heard me, Mr. Parrot. You enjoyed being it especially your high-pitched voice is perfect fit for a parrot!"
"You dare mock me?!"
"I dare! Your voice is so hilarious. It makes me wanna laugh! What a funny voice!"
Fluttershy laughed happily and wildly. This had made Spiritshadow snarled in anger as he was about to attack her. He was held back by Krennic. He approached and gave a glare at her.
"We're trying to be nice with you again, Fluttershy," Krennic said dryly and darkly, "Tell me. Where did you hide the Element of Thunder?!"
Fluttershy groaned in pain, "I told you before. I don't know." She grunted again, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"
Krennic sighed, "Of course, you wouldn't. I'm trying to make things easy for you, my dear. But since you refused to cooperate," He said darkly before cleared his throat, making both Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts armed with their weapons. He continued, "You'll let them to die now."
Fluttershy gasped, "No! Don't! Leave them alone! Please! Wait!" Krennic turned and glared at her. She hissed, "The chosen one will be chosen by the Destiny Tablet to solve the riddle and the Elemental Elements will appear on the location you're supposed to go. It also got helped by the Cutie Map."
"Hmm... Interesting. Your courage and compassion are admirable," Krennic said darkly, "But pity it only lead you to downfall. Guards, execute the prisoners! And tear them to pieces! So, we can feed their meat for our soldiers!"
Spiritshadow smirked as he turned to his soldiers, "With pleasure! Go and slaughter them now!"
Fluttershy gasped, "Nooooooooooooooo!"
The Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts armed and readied to slaughter the panicked and scared animals. And just before the slaughtering could begin, ponies and animals heard some screeching and hissing noises. They all noticed bats, fruit bats and even vampire fruit bats have come and landed on some cages and trees' branches. They were hissing and screeching while glaring at their prays.
Spiritshadow gulped, "Bats... I don't like this."
"Strange..." Dr. Fauna said in surprise, "I didn't know it's bat seasons."
"That's because it isn't!" The firm yet proud and determined voice shouted. Everyone looked up and found Terrorcreep was on midair. He screeched in anger, "Grizzling Wings! Fly, my pretties! Fly!"
Various bats hissed and screeched loudly and wildly as they all flew down and charged at Krennic's forces. They all clawed, scratched and bite them very hard and fierce. Krennic's Force struggled to fight back as well as they all screamed and panicked in fear, though they managed to wound and kill the bats. And at the same time, they also rescued the animals. They all joined and attacked the enemies as well.
Terrorcreep joined the battlefield. Coming to the cage, he swung his twin axes in breaking it. He rescued Fluttershy and Dr. Fauna. He gave his girlfriend a relief hug, making her surprise yet relief to hug him back. Both nodded as they turned and fought the enemies while covering each others' backs. Dr. Fauna used the club to whack and knock Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts from hurting and killing animals.
One-by-one, Orc Soldiers and Werewolf Scouts were injured, defeated and killed by the attacks. Spiritshadow screamed and panicked in fear as he threw his skulls to summon the warriors to fight the bats and protected him from danger. Krennic used his blaster to fire and drove them away. However, the bats continued swarming and attacking Krennic's Forces.
While Krennic's Forces struggled, Terrorcreep and Fluttershy appeared behind them. Terrorcreep swung his Crimson Lightning in striking down and injuring Spiritshadow. Fluttershy used Animal Ruby - elephant's strength and lion's prowess - knocking Krennic to the ground. The couples also defeated and killed the soldiers.
Krennic's Forces were defeated and have lost the battlefield. Both Krennic and Spiritshadow groaned and struggled painfully to get up. They looked up and faced both couples and the animals, glaring at them with their angry and determined eyes. Fluttershy gave her enemies 'The Stare', which shocked and scared them both.
"Leave this place and never return!" Fluttershy shouted in anger, "Now, go away!"
Spiritshadow screamed in fear while Krennic remained firm and calm. The ghoul quickly summoned the portal and escaped at once before he gets himself killed. Krennic grunted in pain while holding his wounded shoulder tight and hard.
"We will return. Mark our words!" Krennic snarled in anger, "The Elemental Elements will be ours!"
Krennic turned and escaped to the portal at once. After seeing Krennic's Forces were defeated, both animals and bats cheered wildly and happily, and even Dr. Fauna joined in. Terrorcreep and Fluttershy looked at each other as they shown both sad and regret looks.
And just before Terrorcreep could say anything, Fluttershy hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Terrorcrep for everything!"
Terrorcreep sighed as he hugged her back, "I'm sorry too, Fluttershy. I am..."
Fluttershy smiled and nodded happily. As she turned and looked at the animal's sanctuary, she found it a big mess - the lake and river are tainted with dirt and blood, trees got cut down, plants and flowers were mashed and smashed. The animals were badly injured and wounded. The bats were helping and treating their wounds. Her animal sanctuary is ruined and destroyed. She was in pain and shocked to see it.
Terrorcreep approached and patted her on her back, "I'm sorry, Fluttershy."
"No... I'm the one who should be sorry. This didn't go at all like I had imagined." Fluttershy said in shame and guilt. She sighed as she looked at the animals, "I thought I'd have a beautiful sanctuary for you all to stay in by now. But I put my trust in the wrong ponies."
"It's okay, Fluttershy," Terrorcreep said in comfort, "You did your best."
Dr. Fauna nodded, "And besides, we got the clinic for the animals to stay. It'll be a bit, uh... tight." She cleared her throat, "But with your help, we'll have these patients back on their paws in no time, even without a sanctuary."
Terrorcreep nodded, "Guess that's the only option now..."
Angered and upset about everything has gone wrong, Fluttershy shouted at once, "NO!"
Everyone was in shock and surprise. They turned nad looked at her.
"I won't give up! These animals need me! And I'm gonna solve this once and for all!" Fluttershy exclaimed firmly. She turned and looked at sloth climbing on her back hoof. She smiled, "If this little lady can crawl all the way here from Western Equestria, I can find a way to build her a safe place to rest!"
Touched and inspired by Fluttershy's speech, the animals cheered wildly and happily. Dr. Fauna laughed happily. Terrorcreep smiled happily.
"Very impressive, Fluttershy. I guess friendship really does make you strong..." Terrorcreep complimented.
Fluttershy smiled and blushed, "It sure does..."
On the next day, Fluttershy gathered and summoned all of her friends to her cottage. She told them about what has happened to her project especially being tricked and interrogated by Krennic and Spiritshadow about finding the Element of Thunder. Her friends were in shock and concern as they wished that they have been there for her. But nevertheless, they're glad that she's safe from danger.
"Damn it..." Shadow Dragon said in concern, "Looks like we need to update the security."
Twilight nodded, "Yeah. They'll be back for Destiny Tablet to find and get the Elemental Elements, but for now we need to help Fluttershy."
"So, they're not coming back to help me?" Fluttershy asked in concern.
"Yeah. After what Krennic and Spiritshadow did to him and his crew," Pinkie said in upset, "who would've guessed that Hard Hat gone and quit on us?! All because of those bad guys!"
Rarity hummed in concern, "I never would've invited Dandy to help if I thought he'd act in such a manner. He complained whole day about mud and dirt especially dealing with Dark Mystic Ponies. He'd never wanted to be part of nature again." She scoffed, "Shorty, I'm gonna kill you for forgetting to tell me about his behavior!"
Applejack sighed, "And Wrangler said that she's done helping you on animal sanctuary. I'm sorry, Fluttershy."
"It's okay. You were all just trying to help." Fluttershy said calmly, "Despite what has happen, I'm going to try again. I'm going to rebuild the sanctuary and do it my way this time."
Terrorcreep nodded, "All of us are going to help you, this time."
Her friends cheered happily and wildly that they all agreed to help her out. And this time, they're gonna build exactly what she wanted for her animal sanctuary.
"So, what's the plan?" Rainbow asked curiously.
Fluttershy said calmly, "To get things back on track, I called in a favor from two old friends. They'll be here any minute."
"Who will that be?" Shadow Dragon asked.
Terrorcreep smiled, "You'd be surprise. These ponies put the animals first. Plus there's nopony better at building and nature."
KNOCKED!Terrorcreep approached and opened the door. Before him is none other than Princess Leaf and Big Daddy McColt, whom surprised Twilight, Rainbow and Shadow Dragon. And the group of Peace Nature Guardians were standing behind them.
Big Daddy McColt laughed happily, "I heard somepony needs construction help fer them critters!"
Princess Leaf bowed, "I am honored to be here to assist and restore the nature."
"Big Daddy McColt!" Twilight greeted her friend. She gave him a hug. She turned to her friends, "We met each other back when the map called me and Fluttershy to the Smokey Mountains! And of course, our boys were there too."
"And don't forget about Princess Leaf and her Peace Nature Guardians!" Rainbow exclaimed happily as she gave Princess Leaf a hoof-bump, "Fluttershy and I met her at Elvish Forestland when we're on the Friendship Problem."
Shadow Dragon smiled, "They definitely know their stuff when it comes to buildings and caring for animals."
"That's the plan," Terrorcreep commented.
"Well, shucks. Let's not stand around talkin' about it. Let's build us a sanctuary!" Big Daddy McColt exclaimed wildly.
Princess Leaf nodded, "Indeed. We've got work to do now!"
Ponies cheered wildly and happily. They all can't wait to start building the sanctuary for animals, and even making Fluttershy's dream come true.
Gathered and met up at the hill, Fluttershy's team were in shock and concern of what they were looking at. The green landscape is a big mess. Nevertheless, they still can clean the mess and make her dream come true. It's not just them, more ponies came and help them - Starlight, Sunset, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, Big Mac, Dragon Strike Force, Team Fighters and Shadow Six also joined the project as well.
By following Fluttershy's dream board, she and her team all began cleaning green landscape's mess and constructing the animal sanctuary. Big Daddy McColt led the team on constructing animal sanctuary while Princess Leaf is in-charge of cleaning the mess and planting plants for the project as well.
Using his full strength, Big Mac dragged and held the wooden pillars up for Rainbow to stomp and hammer to the ground. Twilight, Starlight and Shadow Dragon were pouring the water on the lake and river while Spike was measuring on it. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, Lance, Shiroi and Cutie Mark Crusaders set and building animals' nesting places and houses, garden, playground, swimming pools, clubhouses and more. The rest of the teams also helped cleaning and clearing the messes, and also helped their friends with their projects.
Took the teams of working and completing the project for three days, the animals' sanctuary is complete and done. Everyone is looking at it. It looks exactly like what Fluttershy has imagined. And she couldn't be happier and proud that her dream has finally come true. Everything is alright now...
On the next day, Fluttershy and Terrorcreep led and guide Dr. Fauna to the sanctuary. The veterinarian has her eyes closed while guided by the vampire pony. Three of them stopped at once as they have reached their destination.
"Okay, you can open your eyes!" Fluttershy ordered. Dr. Fauna opened her eyes. She gasped in shock and surprise of looking at the animals' sanctuary. She introduced, "Welcome to Sweet Feather Sanctuary, a safe and cozy retreat for everycreature!"
After seeing what the animals were doing in their new comfort zone and home, Dr. Fauna couldn't help but gasped and smiled happily to see it.
"Oh, Fluttershy! This is amazing!" Dr. Fauna remarked happily.
"Now you should have plenty of room at the clinic. Because once you've treated them, they can recover here! With my help, of course." Fluttershy said happily.
"It's so hard to believe..." Terrorcreep said calmly. Fluttershy and Dr. Fauna turned and looked at him. He continued, "Who would have thought that my girlfriend became so brave and bold to stand and make dream come true? Everyone thinks it's impossible to achieve it."
"That maybe so," Fluttershy smiled, "We all move at our own pace. Sometimes, all we need to do is believe in our dreams. And when we finally reach our goal, we'll know that it was worth what it took to get there, because the view will be even better than you imagined!"
Terrorcreep smiled as he nuzzled his girlfriend's cheek, "I guess you're right. Like I said before, you're truly courageous and strong pony, Fluttershy."
"Ooh," Fluttershy said in surprise as she gave her boyfriend a passionate kiss, "I really love you, Terrorcreep. I just wish we could marry at once."
While kissing his girlfriend, Terrorcreep has his left eye looked at his left pocket. He could see a golden ring inside it. He smiled, "Yeah. Me too, Fluttershy... Me too..."
Krennic and Spiritshadow returned to their mistress. They all reported to her about the latest report they have, despite the failures they have suffered. Instead of angry and upset, Spiritcurse smiled amusingly and happily that she's in good mood.
"So, that's how they do it?" Spiritcruse asked amusingly before laughed, "Interesting. The Destiny Tablet is not only help them to find the Elemental Elements, but it also can help them to predict and prepare for the future. We need it for the Demon God's return..."
