"Get back here, Vinyl!"
"Yeah! You show her, Bonnie!"
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, PILLOW WARRIORS!"
"Nopony messes with my little Muffin!!"
"My cabbages?!"
"...P.S. By frazzled, I mean REALLY frazzled. Please help!"
"Et tu, Cranky?"
"The Horror! The Horror!"

A great cacophony of bestial roars and squawking birds echoed over Ponyville, causing all fighting to stop for a moment. The ground underneath everypony's hooves shook as though a small earthquake had decided to rumble through. 

"What was that...?"
"I think it came from up the hill. Isn't that where...?"
"No, you dolt. That wasn't my stomach."

"Look!"

Everypony looked toward the path to Fluttershy's cottage and froze. Some looked up in shock, others in confusion. All were silent. There, standing at the top of the hill, were dozens upon dozens of animals a critters. Dogs. Ferrets. Chickens. Songbirds by the flock. A bear. Each with fresh pillows. One little white speck appeared on top of the bear's head, staring down at the ponies below with righteous fury in its eyes.

With a long squeak that would send shivers down the spines of lesser bunnies, the animals roared and charged down.

Some ponies shrieked and ran for shelter, but many stayed back to defend themselves and their town, and all battles between ponies were dropped to carry out that goal. 

Birds met pegasi in the skies, with groups of songbirds ganging up on their opponents while birds of prey battled solo against one or more foes. Meanwhile, the beasts of the land challenged the earth ponies and the unicorns in a similar fashion. Smaller animals, like rabbits and ferrets, attacked in groups or pairs. A pack of dogs clashed against a pair of unicorns. Harry the Bear lumbered through everything in his path, a seemingly unstoppable force of reckoning. And Angel Bunny darted to and fro, taking out stragglers that tried to sneak up on Harry. 

The bunny and the bear made an excellent team, quickly tearing through the rabble of ponies. A great many who faced them either gave up and fled or were trounced from one side of Ponyville to the other. It looked like the animals would win the day due almost entirely to their efforts. 

That is, until they came across a certain group of four mares. 

"What do you think, Applejack? Shall we put aside our quarrel until we get these two sorted out?" Rarity asked, a set of six small, but firm pillows floating around her in a circle. 

"Ah reckon that's a good idea," Applejack replied. Draped across her shoulders was a large, griffon-down pillow as big as her body.

"I'm in too, but don't think I won't come after you both once we're through with these guys," Rainbow Dash declared, carrying a thin, dense, pegasus feather pillow. 

"Ooo! Ooo! Can I join in too?" Pinkie Pie asked excitably. While she didn't have her cannon with her, she still had a pillow as thick and round as her mane. 

Angel Bunny and Harry Bear glanced around at the mares, surrounded but ready.
