Star Wars: The Missing Brother
Chapter 6. You learn something new everyday
Fluttershy's area a minutes after the scream she heard
Fluttershy rush towards the direction of the scream. Flying by trees at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash proud . "Hope they're just spooked and not being chased down by manticores or timberwolves." She says out loud. Feeling her wings giving out and short on breaths, she slows downs her flight to get some air. A sudden boom followed by a roar of an animal she never heard of before sends chills to her entire body. Making her fur and feathers stand straight up. Oh no! What other secrets do you hold, Everfree Forest? The tired feeling was replaced with a burst of adrenaline. She flaps her wings as hard as she can to reach the girls before the creature could eat them.
Flying too fast for her own good, Fluttershy flew to a tree branch she didn't see. She hit her forehead on the branch and loses her flight control, she skids the ground and tumbles to a stop.
She tries to get up but she could only lift her head. Her visions darken, the fast heart beat slowing down and the pain of a broken wing fading away. Only able to make a groan out, her eyes closed as she was knocked unconscious and lays on the floor of the dark forest.
Where the six are heading to the Fluttershy's cottage
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Opening her eyes, pain rushes to where she whit her head. She wince and sat up."You need to lay down, you hit your pretty hard." she heard Sweetie Belle with other hooves gently laying her on the bed. She sees the three as no more as blurs forming to make shapes. Fluttershy rubs her forehead "Thank you for saving me but how did you girls get back home safely? I heard you screaming and I hit a tree branch -" "It's okay Flutteshy, three someponies that ain't really ponies saved us from some mean n' maticores," Apple Bloom interrupts her,Fluttershy tilts her head in confusion all on her face. "Then we, well, they-, I mean, Sev found you lying on the floor. He said that you just hit your head pretty hard is all." Scootaloo finishes for her. The four ponies turns their heads towards kitchen from the growling sound which is new to Fluttershy.
Arrikata: The amount of animals she have in her house is a lot, and I do wonder what it says on this jar. Kitchit: Maybe it contains ointment for the sick creatures in here. What do you make of it, Sev?
"I'd say it's some emergency credit jar of some sort." Sev said holding his helmet in one arm and hand on chin in a thinking look with the other. Arrikata holds a jar that reads "COOKIE". The three are looking at it curiously. "Hey guys, She awake and wants to see you now." They heard Sweetie Belle calls them.
Putting the jar down, they made their way to where Sweetie Belle called them from. Sev stops and turn his head. He saw something out the window from the corner of his eyes. Assuming that it a creature that Fluttershy is caring for, he moves on.
Fluttershy's eyes widen with awe, wonder, and fear at the new alien beings. Two large bear like creatures; one light fur and the other with darker fur. Both stand roughly around seven hooves, two or three inches tall. It would be amazing to know on how they fit through the front door but the back doors which could let a black bear come in should be no problem since they're leaner than the black bears. Probably stronger than them too. The shorter one is a hoof shorter than them. The top of his head have his short black mane, his emotionless face doesn't say much but his armor tells a different story. Scratched, aged, and red markings on feet, forehooves and a paw print on his helmet . Hopefully the red markings aren't blood.
Sev introduced himself on the others. "My name is Republic Clone commando 1207 of Delta Squad. I go by my nickname Sev. These are Arrikata and Kitchit," he points to each owner of the name, "they both are Wookies warriors from the planet Kashyyyk. Wookies are well known for their strength throughout the galaxy. Kitchit is a veteran Officer. He is highly skilled with ranged weapons from previous home planet invasions. Arrikata is still considered a shiny for being in service for three and a half years. He works by his Officer, Kitchit, as an aviation technician." Sev raises an eyebrow from the sitter covering herself, shaking as if she heard an explosion. "Ma'am, are you okay?" he asks.
His dark voice made Fluttershy flinch. "It's okay Fluttershy, sure his voice is like scary, but he's the one that beat the pride leader of the Manticores with only his claws making the others leave." Sweetie Belle comforts her.
Fluttershy peeks and eye out to look at Sev. "H-hello my name isFluttershy." "Excuse me ma'am? I didn't catch that." Is my voice that terrifying? Good. "I'm Fl-flFluttershy."
Sighing, he walk towards her to get a better hearing. She shakes a bit more from his steps getting closer to her. "Ma'am, the Cutie Mark Raiders were in deep trouble so we saved them and took him back here with them leading the way." The girls giggled from him saying the last part of their group name wrong and told him it's Crusaders. Sev ignored them and nod his head in a "Come here" manner to the Wookies. Sev made his voice as comforting as possible (which is really difficult and rare for him to do). "These two put on a show for them. From shaking in fear, seeing life before their eyes to cheering that can't be held in. Now what is your name again, ma'am?" "I'm F-fluttershy, and thank you for finding and saving the little ones for me." She spoke up, getting her face out of her hair.
"Wasn't hard as you'd thought it be right?" Sev asks standing up to full height. Normal beings would say that with a grin on their face to reassure another. But not Sev. " "It really wasn't. I'm just afraid of everything." She replies with small, shy smile. "Sev, what do you mean your name is Republic Clone Commando 1207? It sounds like the military owns you."
"Yeah, ya never told us all that Republic thingamahoo. We only told ya bout us n the The wu-keys since ya need to translate for 'em."
"I'm about to tell you all on my history up to now. And yes there is a lot of action in this," he sits on the floor. Kitchit and Arrikata sat down as well. Fluttershy knows what this mean very well thanks to twilight and her long talks about whatever she's defending. "Can you wait for a minute? I-if that's okay with you. I'm getting some snacks and drinks for this."
Getting all she needs, Fluttershy came back with a platter of fruits, nuts, cookies, and water. She sat down on the couch with the Cutie Marks Crusaders. She offered her new found friends some snacks. The three went for the fruits.
"It started when I was born, or cloned from birth to be more specific,"
Gasps and shocked faces spread through the four ponies' faces.
