//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 Fluttershy & Big Mac // Story: The War of Equestria. // by Jeremy Llama //------------------------------// "Huh, Huh, Huh, Angel I'm getting tired. Are you sure you know where we're going?" Fluttershy asked her Bunny friend. Angel was her only friend now. Fluttershy wishes she could see her friends now but she doesn't know where they are or even if they're alive. Angel keeps pointing. Fluttershy can't see through the smoky haze and Angel can't see either nor can she smell anything but she got a scent a very weak scent and now Fluttershy is following where she's pointing. "All right I'll keep going but I need to take a break if we don't find something soon. I've been walking for a while now." Fluttershy explained. She can't fly because if she does she keeps her self open for an attack in the sky if she does. Not only that but her wing isn't in the best of shape to fly. After escaping from Ponyville and having to abandon Luna she caught caught by some guards. She escaped though but one of them had pulled her wing trying to hold her down. She flew for a while but eventually her wing gave out and she fell into the Everfree forest. When she did she saw two ponies. One was cyan with many other colors the other was orange. "Rainbow Dash? Apple Jack?" She started walking towards them. Apple Jack was injured badly and so was Rainbow Dash. But Rainbow's injuries were heal able. Fluttershy did what she could to tend to Rainbow Dash's wounds, But with nothing to patch up her cuts she was only able to stop the pain from a few spots using her massaging. technique. She had to leave them though she had to continue out and she didn't have the strength to pick even one of them up.. On her way out she saw a little white glare in the distance. Her vision was a little bit hazed but she went towards it. The white object moved towards her and jumped up into her face. "EEE-" Fluttershy yelped as she fell down in fear. It walked up to her face and tapped her head. Her vision came to and she could see her little bunny friend "Angel? What are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked her companion. Angel mearly just pointed towards a northern direction. "You want me to go through...the Everfree forest?" Fluttershy asked shakily. Angel nodded, Fluttershy agreed she was scared of the forest but it's safer than Ponyville. As she kept going she came to a stop. She saw smoke and a small amount of light coming from the back of the forest. She continued on ahead and saw there was a fire. She went through it and saw a wasteland of smoke. She had never gone behind the Everfree forest but she was sure it didn't look like this. You could see some grass spots and burn marks all over the place. "Am I in a desert?" Fluttershy asked. Angel just kept pointing. About an hour later Fluttershy was using reserved energy. Angel was still just pointing North. "Angel...Can I take a break now? Please?" Fluttershy begged. Angel shook her head and kept pointing. Fluttershy was about to collapse but then she saw something. A small light coming from the haze. Fluttershy hoping there would be some pony there ran towards it. When she got there it was just a small cabin with a torch on the outside of it. She knocked but when she did the door just opened. Making a creaking sound. She went inside and asked if anypony was there. There wasn't unfortunately. There was a small bed though. She went over there and collapsed. The rest of the years have been pretty much the same. Loneliness. She had Angel but she wished there was another pony with her. She kept following Angel's directions. She had given up on finding another pony. The loneliness getting to her. But then she noticed something. Throughout all of the colors through the haze the most she'd seen was a white orange color but it darkened. "What is that Ange-" Fluttershy stopped. she saw it. A forest all to her own. "Angel? Is this what you were telling me to go?" Fluttershy asked. Angel nodded and with that Fluttershy then started bouncing around the forest. She hadn't been this happy for 3 years. She stopped. She looked around and saw animals hiding. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you all..." Fluttershy said feeling terrible about barging in here and scaring them all. She looked around a bit longer and noticed that they were still not coming out. "Oh I'm not going to hurt you. Please don't fear me." Fluttershy said softly. After this some of them came out. She laid down on the grass. It was kinda wet. In fact everything around her was kinda misty. "Did it rain here? This is so odd." Fluttershy said confused. A butterfly came towards Fluttershy. She talked to it for a while. "Finally. I have a place to live." Fluttershy said Happily. "But Big Mac!" Apple Bloom said desperately. "No buts Apple Bloom you've got to go with your friend. If you stay here..." Big Mac said cutting himself off. "What? What would happen if I stayed here huh?" Apple Bloom said. "Just go Apple Bloom. Find your friends. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle." Big Mac said not wanting to raise his voice. "Bu-" Apple Bloom was cut off. "GO!" Big Mac said trying his hardest to get her to leave willingly. "Fine!" Apple Bloom had left Big Mac there. Big Mac couldn't tell her why she had to leave. As Big Mac wandered around looking for his sister Apple Jack. He came across a dead soldier pony. The armor was to small to fit Big Mac, but he took it with him. Figuring some pony would need it. He kept going and felt like he was being followed. Being watched. He turned around and saw two ponies. Both wore the armor of Nightmare Moon. "What are you looking for? A fight?" Big Mac demanded. "We are here to kill any ponies that we see." The first said with the second continuing his sentence "You are a lucky pony. Because we've got a move we've been just *inhales evil like Dying to use." "Well you won't be killing anypony after I'm done with you." As he said the Big Mac charged at them. They moved out of the way. "They're to fast I'll have to sneak on them." Big Mac thought to himself.Problem was and even he knew was that he was that he was big and red. Worst combination when hiding. So he tried going after them. lowering their stamina. "Ha ha. You insolent little pony is all that muscle of yours up in your brain? You can't hit us ha ha h-" With that He was able to kick him directly in the snout. His face was smashed in and he was bleeding and twitching. The other pony charged at Big Mac in anger. "You confound ponies." Big Mac said and he turned around and kicked him snapping his neck and killing him instantly. The other pony who was kicked in the snout got up and ran. Big mac thought about finishing him off but the poor bastard was already limping and falling alot. He probably won't even get back before eternal bleeding finishes him off. Big mac kept walking and saw a shade of a dark color. He kept walking towards it and saw something. Green and brown. He saw trees. He kept walking through it. He noticed there was no damages to it. "Is this untouched?" Big mac thought to himself. He noticed something yellow in the distance. Something yellow and light pink. He walked towards it and what he saw was;
