Chapter 5: Strolling

"Your, Majesty. We found, Miss Fluttershy, but she is being held by an unknown. Sending ordinance" she was then received a mental map to where the scouts were in the Everfree.

Luna then used her magic to teleport the other six without them knowing and reappeared on a path. Luna saw the scouts just around the corner. She looked at the mane six and saw they looked a little confused and disoriented.

She looked at the scouts and saw one of their magic just giving away, like it no match with the foe. They started to tier; so she quickly went over to help. She looked at what they tried to contain and eyes went wide.

It looked like a dragon, but it had no scales or leathery wings. It had a brown coat and feathery wings. It also had a pony on his back, trying to cover her with his wings. Its expression wasn't very emotional, although it looked a little annoyed now.

It easily broke every magical chains, cuffs, ropes, just everything they threw at it, it broke with ease.

She looked at the pony on its back and saw it was Fluttershy. She couldn't figure out if she was just playing dead or unconscious, but her ears were being covered by a pair of sapphire earmuffs.

It looked like it was being careful not to wake her. "I don't have time for this" it said, then teleported away.

"Aaah!" she heard screaming behind her and saw the thing walking away from them, Fluttershy still on its back.

She then teleported in front of it, just a head taller than it, "And what in Equestria are you going with her!?" she asked in her royal Canterlot voice.

He teleported again and reappeared behind her, just strolling like nothing happened.

She frowned and used her magic to stop him from going any further. There was a large dark wall blocking his path. He frowned and used his magic to demolish a hole for him and Fluttershy to get through.

Then ribbons came out of the wall behind him and wrapped around his chest and neck. He gripped the ribbons with his claws and just ripped them apart.

Luna growled and teleported in front of him again, "Halt!" she yelled with terrifying glowing eyes.

He looked at Fluttershy on his back and she just stirred in her sleep, yawned and got herself comfortable. He looked back at her, "You better stay quiet if you don't want to wake, Miss Fluttershy" he said to her and started walking around her, "Now if you don't mind, I'm taking her back home" he said to her.

She saw a glimpse of the pony on his back and her left wing was wrapped in vines and leaves. "Wait! You're taking her home?" she asked, watching him go.

"Yes" he answered without looking; "She wishes to go back" he went on.

"He's getting away!" a scout yelled and they tried to go after him, but then a wall blocked their path and one of them face planted on it.

"No need for brute force" Luna said, then the wall disappeared, "Fluttershy is not in danger" she strolled pass them, following it.

The six galloped up to her, "What are you doing, Princess? Your letter it go!? What about Fluttershy!?" Twilight said to her.

"Yes, I'm letting it go" she answered, still following.

"But, Fluttershy!" Rarity said next.

"Fluttershy, is asleep. She's not in danger as far as I know, but forcing him to let her go might get it angry" she said to her. "As long as she's not in danger, we better let them be" she finished.

Rarity looked at the sleeping pony on the creatures back. She saw the vines wrapped around her side and wing, mostly, she looked comfortable, slowly rising and falling in ease.

She made a mental note for herself to thank him for taking care of her friend, if she can.

After a few minutes, her curiosity got the better of her and started galloping towards him.

"Be careful, Rarity!" she heard Twilight in a hushed tone.

"Do not get him to turn on us" Luna said next.

She slowed herself as she got closer it, and lowered her head and nervousness and fear. She slowly went on his side, trying to keep up with him as well, "Um, g-good day" she greeted and smiled nervously, remembering it practically strolled by Luna's powerful magic.

"Good day" he greeted back without looking at her.

"M-my name's, R-Rarity" she introduced herself, still a little nervous. He didn't answer.

She gulped, "Um, so, how is, Fluttershy, doing?" she asked.

He looked at the sleeping pony on his back, "She's doing fine" he answered and looked through the path again.

She took a peek over his wing and saw Fluttershy sleeping, magical earmuffs covering her ears. She also had a sly smile and cuddled closer to it. She looked at him and saw no emotion written, just concentration.

He then suddenly stopped and perked up his ears. She also stopped and looked at him, "What is it?" she asked nervously.

He quickly pushed aside Rarity and his mouth started glowing and blue flams started escaping. Then a dark inky wolf jumped out the forest, then blasted it with a fireball, turning it to smoke. The ball of blue fire flew through the forest and blows up on a tree.

He looked at Rarity and saw her holding onto her chest, trying to slow her heart rate. He looked her over and nothing seemed to be wrong, except for her near heart attack.

"Sorry for that" he apologized and looked at her.

"Sorry? What are you sorry for? You saved me" she took her breath and smiled at him, "Thank you darling" she got up and hugged him.

Again, he didn't know what to do, but say, "You're welcome" simply.

He checked on the sleeping pony and saw her re-positioning her head to the other side. Rarity let him go and he started going through the path again, like nothing happened.

Rarity sat there, watching him go. Twilight and the others went up to her, "Are you okay, Rarity!?" she checked her over in concern.

She got back to reality, "Oh, yes, I'm fine darling. Thank you" she got back up on her hooves and almost forgot about Angel. She looked around for him and found him dusting himself off on the ground. "Oh my, I'm so sorry, Angel, darling" she picked him up and dusted him off as well.

As they reached the mouth of the path, Nebula stopped and saw the town of Ponyville. He looked at it for a few moments till he looked at Fluttershy on his back, still asleep.

The earmuffs disappears from her head, "Fluttershy" he said. She stretched her body and yawned on his back. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. Her eyes then went wide when she saw Ponyville, "W-we're here?" she looked at him and he nodded.

He then looked at the group behind him. She followed his gaze and saw her friends, Princess Luna and the scouts just behind them.

Rarity galloped to them with a bright smile, Fluttershy smiled as well and Nebula turned his body. "How… what happened?" Fluttershy asked, and looked at both of them.

"We've been looking everywhere for you for two days darling. Then we found you on his back, fending off the scouts in the path. And…" she turned her body to showed Angel on her back, "I think some little white bunny would like to see you" she said with a smile.

Fluttershy smiled brightly, Angel jumped off Rarity's back and was immediately hugged by Fluttershy. "I'm so sorry for being gone, Angel" tears of joy started forming in her eyes. Angel hugged her back; little tears started forming in his eyes as well.

He looked at Rarity, "Where do you treat the injured and sick?" he asked.

"Oh, um, in the hospital of course" she answered.

He reach out to her, puts hand on her elbow, then teleported away.

"No! He's gettin' away!" Applejack yelled and galloped to the spot to they were and looked around for them.

With a flash, they were just outside the hospital. Rarity blinked a few times and looked around and saw they were pretty far from where they were.

She looked at Nebula and saw him going towards the building, "Wait for me!" she galloped to them.

The door opened and the ponies in the waiting room all looked at him in fear. He got to the counter and saw the nurse shaking in fear, sweating with wide eyes.

He turned his body to showed Fluttershy on his back, "Her wing is in need of help" he said to her. Fluttershy had her hooves wrapped around Angel and looked around the room, then at the nurse and blushed, making a shy smile.

The nurse nodded rapidly, "Y-yes, Sir" she answered and quickly went out the room. After a moment, she came back with a doctor, pushing him in the room.

"What in Equestria… are you…" he saw Nebula and his eyes went wide.

"Miss Fluttershy, is in need of help. Her wing" he said to the doctor with the best poker face ever known to pony kind.

"O-okay. F-follow me" he started going, the nurse right beside him. Nebula followed, Rarity as well.

Rarity got the doors and looked back at the terrified crowd and smiled nervously, "Um, no need to fear anything. J-just, um, do what you were doing before he got in, okay? Okay darlings" she closed both doors.

As they got through the halls, the nurse kept on looking back at them, Rarity still having the nervous smile.

They got to his office. Nebula got in and levitated Fluttershy on the bed, and turned, "Um, w-where are you going?" she asked, a little sad he was heading out.

He looked back at her, "I'll be right outside" he answered and got out the room and closed the door with his magic. He then rested down on the floor and started looking around.

"What in Equestria is that thing!?" the doctor yelled in a hushed tone, pointing at the door.

"Um, I don't know actually, but he won't hurt any pony" she sat up on the bed and wrapped her hooves around Angel.

"We have to warn the princesses about this!" the nurse yelled next.

"Um, Princess Luna, already knows about it" she said and something clicked in her mind, "Oh right! I have to find them and tell them we're here" she said to herself in realization. She took off her saddlebag, "Is it okay if I leave my saddlebag here for a minute?" she asked the doctor, he nodded in disbelief.

She put her bag down on the bed beside Fluttershy and Angel, "Angel's, carrots are in the saddlebag darling" she to Fluttershy, then looked at the doctor, "You really should check my friend's wing" she said to him and teleported away, a little something she learned from Twilight to move around her boutique quickly.

The doctor looked at Fluttershy and saw the vines and leaves wrapped around her wing, "O-okay, let's take a good look at the wing of yours" he said, reminding himself the creature was just outside the door.

Rarity teleported around town and managed to find the Princess galloping in the street. She went up to her, "Princess Luna!" she went up to her and bowed.

"Miss Rarity!? Where did you come from!?" she asked her, breathing heavily.

"He took us to the hospital to get, Fluttershy's, injured wing checked out" she answered and looked at her; "They're still there" she answered.

Luna sighed in relief; "Thank goodness" her horn started glowing, "They are at the hospital. Surround the building" she said and looked at Rarity and teleported her and herself near the hospital.

Rarity looked at the princess and she looked out of breath, "Are you getting tiered your, Majesty?" she asked her.

Luna inhaled and sighed. She looked at her, "I will rest later" she said to her and started going in the building.

After a few minutes of waiting outside the door, Nebula looked to his right and saw the Princess and Rarity going towards him.

Then the door opens to his left and saw Fluttershy on a wheel chair, Rarity's saddlebag hanging on the handle bars. The nurse stopped when she saw him. She slowly pushed the wheel chair out and bolted back in.

The doctor got out, shaking a little, "H-her wing h-has a small fracture, b-but she should get better in just two days" he said to him. "And she must stay here t-till then" he finished speaking.

Nebula got up, "Okay, where does she stay?" he asked.

"R-right this w-way" he started going through the hall.

With his magic, he pulled the wheelchair and followed the doctor. They got to a door and the doctor clumsily opened the door. They got in the empty room with two beds. The doctor gestured them in with a nervous smile.

Nebula pulled the wheel chair in first, then himself. They neared the bed closet to the window and gently levitated her on the bed. He saw her wing all bandaged up.

"Oh look at the time, it's time for lunch, I-I'll get that for you!" the doctor bolted out the room, almost bumping into the princess. "Oh, sorry princess!" he apologized, got around her and galloped through the hall.
