"Okay. Animals rounded up, letter written, Rainbow patched up better. What do we do now, Blaine?" Twilight said, and she put her quill down.
"Well, next, we await a letter, and go to see if Ponyville has any there. Any Cyberponies, I mean. If there are any there, we can take them. Twilight, Applejack, you'll be fighting with me, Fluttershy, Rarity, stand by and offer support. Rarity should be able to make use of things as projectiles."
Everyone agreed and we went on our way.
--
We arrived, no cyberponies yet. We looked around, and saw nopony. We went through most of the place, and I sent out Fluttershy with Rainbow Dash to go and try to find somepony, anypony. Honestly, I didn't think anyone would have died or anything. I decided to check the last place: Town square. I saw one. It was... Odd. Humanoid in shape, and looked sleek. Fast. Oh crap.
"Okay, Applejack, Twilight, I prepared some things before we left. Applejack, iron boots, so your kicks will actually do something. Twilight, magic charm, so that your magic will do more, kind of self-explanatory. Fan out. Twilight, get behind and attack, Applejack, make sure she will get there. I'll distract it in the meantime. When you see an opening, attack Applejack. Rarity, I got you a charm, too. This one will just amplify telekenesis. Throw the hardest, sharpest, and heaviest things you can find. Ready everyone?"
"Yeah!" They all screamed in unison, and I swung forward.

Mid battle. We are damaging it, slowly but surely. I swung, and it parried, swinging at me with a fast blow that almost hit me directly, but I blocked, and Applejack kicked it. As it went through the air, a bunch of gemstone shards flew at it, with extreme force. Twilight flung it even faster, and suddenly made it fly up with it's momentum, where in air, it was pierced back Rarity's gems. It fell to the ground and slammed with astonishing force. It could not have survived. Or so I thought.
It arised and swung at me, until I saw a yellow blur and spun around.
"You will not hurt my friends!" I heard Fluttershy say as she mercillesly pounded the machine. Holy shit. She is a killing machine when angry. I ran forward and helped her take it down, and so did Applejack. Eventually, it was destroyed, and I had to pry Fluttershy off of it. "Fluttershy, calm down!"
"No! It must be exterminated!"
"Stop!" I shook her, but it was no use. She swung around, hit me, and went back to pounding on it when I lost my grip. She popped me a good one in the chest, and knocked the wind out of me. Everypony but her and Rainbow Dash, who wasn't there for some reason, came around me.
"Sorry sugarcube, but yer gonna have to stop this, now," I heard Applejack say as she turned to face Fluttershy. "No... let her... be... go find... Rainbow Dash..." I gasped it all out, and they all suddenly got a lot of concern, and ran off. I slowly approached Fluttershy, tears in my eyes, unbelieving of how the shy little Fluttershy I knew could hit me so hard. She wouldn't even hurt a fly, let alone me.
"Fluttershy...?" I said, and she spun around, the look of death in her eyes. She saw my face, and suddenly, that look faded.
"Blaine! I'm so sorry..." She said, and ran over, as fast as she could, and apologized over and over, now in tears as well.
"Fluttershy... It's okay... I promise... Please stop crying..." I hugged her tightly, unknowing of what else to do. She got a sudden blush on her face, and yelped a little "eep," but otherwise just stayed, and hugged back. "Are you okay?" I said, unsure. She came out with a little, "Yeah...", still seeming to be surprised, yet happy with the hug. I knew something was up. Something unusual. Why she attacked was odd, but I knew it was something else. And why did she get a blush all of a sudden? I didn't know, but I knew one thing. She wasn't doing good. I sent a letter to Twilight, wherever she is, to meet me at Fluttershy's house. I took Fluttershy home afterwards. She was still crying.
