Starlight's Great Adventure

by Discord The Narrator

Sweet Apple Acres: At the Apple Orchard

Starlight, Sunburst, Spike, Discord, Shining Armor, Cadence and Flurry Heart finally got to the fence separating the Everfree Forest from Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack's home.

"Okay, this is the first place to look on Ponyville. It seems like the forest animals took control of the farm. Look at those bats!" said Starlight.

"Yes, but why are there timberwolves near the barn?" asked Discord.

"It is really strange. Normally, bats and timberwolves are enemies between themselves. But I think they fought, bats for the apples and timberwolves for the barn's wood..." explained Sunburst.

"Right! Because they need wood!" said Spike.

"Then we need to stop them. But first, let's deal with the bats. We don't have other way." said Cadence.

At some point, they started to hear some strange music far away.

"What is that? It's a really creepy music." said Starlight.

"Oh! I remember that! I was once in the castle of the Two Sisters with Twilight and the girls, and that music was the ancient organ that activated some traps on there! Since that moment, the organ sometimes plays music alone!" explained Spike.

"Still, we should go investigate after we are done with this 'animal problem'. Keep going." said Sunburst.

________________________________

At the center of the Apple Orchard, Starlight was the first one to stop. She saw a vampony with its tail hung on a tree.

"Careful. We don't know what it can do to us." said Starlight.

They approached more, towards the vampony resting on a tree. When they were at a good distance to see, Starlight talked to it.

"Ummm... Hello? Are you a real vampony? Because we are not sure about it..." said Starlight, confused because she talked to somepony who looked more like an animal.

But it didn't answered.

So Starlight tried again, a little frustrated.

"Helloooo? I'm talking to you! Listen to us!" said Starlight.

This action caused the sleepy vampony to wake up and open its wings, making the others freeze in place.

That wasn't a normal vampony.

That was a yellow vampony with a pink messy mane.

Now, Discord knew who it was...

Flutterbat...

"Fluttershy... No..." said Discord, with fear on his face.

"What happened to her??" asked Sunburst.

"As the result of a bad spell of Twilight, Fluttershy transformed one night, a long time ago. She had the abilities of the vampire bats. And she still has them. Now, because of Midnight, she is Flutterbat again!" explained Spike.

"When I came back to Ponyville, I corrupted Twilight and her friends, playing with their feelings. And now, she is doing exactly the same... I don't want to fight against her" said Discord.

"But we have to do it! Or Midnight wins!" said Cadence.

"Okay..." answered a depressed Discord.

So they approached where Flutterbat was, waiting for them...

And then, the organ started to sound louder...

_____________________________

At some point, Flutterbat got off the tree, flying in all directions. It was an odyssey for them to catch her.

They separated around the orchard's zone used by Flutterbat to rest and drain apples.

Starlight tried to zap Flutterbat with a spell, but failed.
Spike ran, tripping with an apple, which was eaten by Flutterbat later.
Sunburst had some magic spells to stop Flutterbat but not enough to leave serious injuries. Even that was useless against her.
Shining Armor, Cadence and Flurry Heart didn't want to hurt Fluttershy, but that was Flutterbat chasing them.

All the time, Discord was in shock, not just because of Flutterbat...

But also because of the organ music...

"Wait a minute, why is she not going anywhere else?" thought Discord, snapping of his shock.

While Flutterbat was fighting against her former friends, Discord experimented a little with the place where they were.

The organ music could be heard inside that place, so Discord stepped away, away, away...

Until the music stopped...

"Yes! That's it!" said Discord.

"Guys, it's the organ music! She doesn't go anywhere else because the music gives her more power!"

The others heard that, and hope began growing in them.

So Spike tried to lure Flutterbat away of that music, but she was smart enough to not doing that.

"We can't lure her away!" he said.

"So, if we can't lure her away, we can fight the music... with other music!" said Discord.

Two seconds later, he was holding a music box on his hands. A music box so special for him...

He grabbed it and started to play the song...

MUSIC

The new music had its effect, because the organ couldn't be heard anymore. Also, Flutterbat stopped flying, and went slowly towards Discord and his music box. She looked like she was hypnotized by the music.

But Discord's hand was getting tired.

"I don't have all night! Transform her now!" he said.

So Starlight and Sunburst combined their magic to keep Flutterbat still, so they could use a reverse spell Sunburst had.

And twenty seconds later, Flutterbat was still there, but she had Fluttershy's behavior.

"Oh... A vampire... Again..." muttered Fluttershy.

Discord approached and gave her a hug.

"I thought I lost you..." said Discord.

"Don't be like that, Discord. I am here." answered Fluttershy.

"You are just a little different. That's it, Flutters." said Spike, making her laugh.

"Do you know what happened?" asked Cadence.

"I was out there like everypony, when that scary meteor fell of the sky. Then, there was Twilight, and the monsters, and... *squeee*"

"Don't worry, my dear. Finish your story." said Discord.

"Oh... Ok... So Twilight transformed me into Flutterbat. I just stayed there eating apples and sleeping. Then I hid because the timberwolves were getting out the forest, going to the farm." finished Fluttershy.

"Wait! Did you see Applejack!?" asked Spike.

"I saw her inside the barn, just before the door closed. She is a monster too... *squee*"

"Ok. We need to enter the barn and defeat her too." said Starlight.

"But... the timberwolves..." said Fluttershy.

"Don't worry. We already saw them. You can stay here if you want, just in case." said Sunburst.

"Um........ Ok." muttered Fluttershy.

"When we defeat Applejack, there's just Ponyville." said Starlight.

"And the organ. Don't forget it." said Spike.

"We will see that later. Now, let's focus on the wood..." said Shining Armor.

________________________________

The organ sounded louder, and the mare playing it was already angry.

"Come on! I'm doing this party for you! Don't ruin it now with your stupid magic tricks!"

Midnight Sparkle was feeling nervous, but still confident.

"I have no idea where Flutterbat is, but I still have enough cards to play."

"Wake up, Applejack. You have a special visit..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
