I bet you can't beat me. *squee* *squee* *squee*~ Whether by force of will or by peer pressure, the quiet one must come out of their shell. But you know what they say, "It's always the quiet ones that you have to watch out for the most." Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness. And Florina, the Pegasus Knight-in-training. He's W and I'm B. And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle. ---Death Battle--- Fluttershy -Bearer of Kindness (in spirit) -Pegasus pony -Highest wing power: 5 WP ("She's surpassed her best wing power number!") (Mathematical explanation: The highest that the tornado in "Hurricane Fluttershy" reached before she flew in was 795 WP. The minimum necessary to lift the water to Cloudsdale is 800 WP. 800 - 795 = 5.) -Very good with many animals -Gentle insight; Firm stare -Honorary member of the Pony-tones -Extremely reserved personality -Has over-the-top aggressiveness when angered; even flies faster than Rainbow Dash when properly motivated "Oh, you poor little baby..." Fluttershy originally grew up in Cloudsdale before moving to Ponyville. Her ability to fly proficiently developed later than the average pegasus pony. To complement this, she's more comfortable spending time near the ground than up high in the sky. Yeah, getting high isn't for everyone. Oh, well. More pot for me! Ugh, B... not while we're in the middle of- Fluttershy is extremely shy. No s***. She's afraid of her own shadow, dragons, loud noises, sudden quiet noises, being on the stage, eyes, laughter, etc. You name it; she's afraid of it. She prefers to avoid fighting and getting involved in a large argument if she can help it. Possibly because of that, she's become a very astute observer of the world around her. Over time, she has picked up various street smarts, a strong sense of right and wrong, and even a few pieces of dressmaking tidbits. "... and the whole thing speaks of pret-e-porter and not true French Haute Couture." I know I'm not very fluent in techno babble, but what the hell was that? When she's not getting caught up in Rarity's insistence to be a fashion model or helping her friends save the world, Fluttershy can usually be found around her cottage, tending to various animals. This includes her opposite personality in the form of Angel Bunny. Ungrateful Rabbit is a more suitable name for the rodent. Sometimes his selfishness outshines his better self, but he usually means well. Often, he's there to offer her silent support and help convince her to get moving for an appointment that she's running late for. But don't underestimate the yellow pony. When she's on her own and needs a little something extra, she brings out two weapons: her eyes. Even though she can't actually pull them outta her head, these cyan irises can create an intense, invisible wave that will cause just about any animal to do her unholy bidding. The only one that has immunity to the stare is that jerk of a dragon-horse-thing that tied me up the first episode of this season. Her average strength and flight may appear soft and struggling. However, with the right motivation, she can overpower a full-grown grizzly bear and fly even faster than Rainbow Dash. And that's with the handicap of pulling Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon! When you get right down to it, not even fear can stop this pony from doing what she thinks is right. Don't mess with the Flutters! "Even without the Elements, our friendship is as strong as ever." ---Death Battle--- Florina -Pegasus Knight-in-training from Ilia -Human -Very shy when talking -Rides the Pegasus named Huey... or Makar(?) the mare... or male(?) -Friend to Lyn -Wields a Slim Lance (accurate and light, but weak); can wield a sword with proficiency -Best stats: Speed, Skill, Luck -Very defensive about her steed "I'm sorry... I'm always... such trouble..." In the Fire Emblem universe, Florina is the youngest of three sisters. Farina, Fiora, and Florina are all Pegasus Knights. After an incident involving a tree and a beehive, Florina became fast friends with her rescuer Lyn. Bees... my *gee*. Then she tried to follow Lyn to Caelin, but needed rescuing once again. Only this time, it was a bandit camp. No, not the bandits! Not the bandits! Augh! Well, being a cute klutz has its perks. She immediately joined Lyn's party and eventually rose to the full-fledged title of Pegasus Knight, dropping her "in-training" wheels. Florina is rather shy and finds it difficult to talk to others. She is fond of her older sister Fiora and has tried to emulate her strengths. However, she has come to the realization that relying on her sister's protection could prevent her from finding her own strength. Come on, girl. Just admit you love Hector. You know you want to. Her best qualities in combat are her speed and luck. She has gained proficiency in swords, though her default rests in the very light and accurate Slim Lance. Accuracy is nice, but she's got a lot of work left to do in the upper-muscle department. Weapons and strength aren't the only things this timid girl has trouble with. In a few mistranslations, she has mistaken the name and gender of her own Pegasus steed. How the hell does that work? But one thing is for certain. Even if she doesn't remember Huey's name, she will risk herself and attack anyone who threatens him. Hell hath no fury like a girl protecting her pet. "I... I... I'll do my best!" ---Death Battle--- All right, the combatants are set. Let's settle this debate once and for all. It's time for a Death Battle! ---Death Battle--- The treetops seem to whistle. The grass rustles. The very clouds in the sky seem to be singing to some degree. There are sprinklings from the river. It's like music in a veil. Overall, it is a pleasant instrumentation to accompany Fluttershy's beautiful solo singing as she goes about picking some wild flowers. Suddenly, a giant Pegasus lands right in front of her. To this, Fluttershy lets out a startled yelp. The steed returns with a startled whinny of his own. "Whoa, Huey! Whoa!" hollers his rider. "Oh my goodness," mutters Fluttershy, "You startled me." "Oh, no," the rider holds her hands against each other sheepishly. "That was my fault. I'm sorry." She then mutters to herself, "Darn it, Florina. Why do you have to always be so much trouble?" "Oh, you don't have to be sorry," insists Fluttershy, "I should have been keeping a better eye on what was above me." She turns to face the steed directly. "What's your name, sir?" Huey blows across his lips. "This is Huey," addresses Florina, "He's my noble companion. He doesn't talk much... wait... You're a Pegasus too? How are you talking?" "FIGHT!" "Oh, well... I guess I started talking when my mother taught me the words to say and what they meant." "Wow, that's really amazing!" Florina hops off of Huey and lowers down to meet the mare's eye level. "Can you tell me more?" "... You guys heard me say it, right? I did just tell them to fight, right?" Pretty soon, the shy girls are talking about a lot of things and occasionally about nothing in particular. Somehow a picnic blanket, a tea set, assorted treats, and some of Fluttershy's animal friends have manifested while the conversation continues. There's much laughter shared among newly acquainted beings. Huey takes this time to graze on the greenery. "Well, this puts a damper on my high spirits today. Usually when I announce something, it's supposed to happen!" I agree. This is getting boring. "Wait, what?" Wait, what? --- A/N: Wait, what? --- Come here, you! Huh? How did I get here? Wait, what are you do-AAAAAAH! From off the screen, a black unicorn with a flaming mane gets tossed in and lands right on top of the unaware Pegasus steed. Huey hurriedly steps away in surprise. Florina gasps before rushing in with her lance. "Get away from him!" Fluttershy's intense glare is in the face of the intruder. "How dare you attack somepony who was minding his own business?" No, wait... It's not like that... The unicorn's protests fall on deaf ears as Fluttershy and Florina look angrier at him. After several drops of sweat rain off his head, he strategically turns around and gallops far, far away. Pony, human, and horse all stride after him with their legs pounding. The announcer blinks twice in confusion. "Um... FRIENDSHIP!" "Friendship? ... Again?" ---Death Battle--- Wait, what? B comes in clapping imaginary dust off his hands. Ah, another hard day at work, but it's always rewarding. You realize that you've pretty much skewed up the data with that stunt, right? Ah, who needs data? We do. That's part of our job: compiling research all together to figure out who would win in a fight given the most likely scenario. Meh. I just like watching people beat the *ess* out of each other. You're an idiot, B. I know I am, but what are you? The genius with the cybernetic arm. There is a mechanical whir followed by a smack. Ow! This Death Battle is a draw. ---Death Battle--- Next time, we're doing something a little different. It should give all of the announcers enough time to- Why isn't anyone helping me?! ... "recover". Stay tuned to TMNPWWF(ADBP)! ---
