Fluttershy has gone missing and her friends intend to find out what happened!
This takes place the night after Fluttershy was turned into the bat pony in Bats.
Fluttershys animals are running a wild and Fluttershy is nowhere to be seen. Shes not home or in the garden even Discord doesn't know. What could have happened to Fluttershy?
"This is an absolutely beautiful day here in Ponyville don't you think Opal?" Rarity said as she was walking towards Fluttershy's cottage.the day before was a little crazy, as in Fluttershy being turned into a vampire bat pony and eating all of applejacks crops until the girls found out. "Fluttershy darling? I came over to see if your feeling better after the bat incident last night." Rarity said as she knocked on the door, nopony answered "Fluttershy? Fluttershy are you home?" Rarity said. there was still no reply. "Well maybe she went to see AppleJack so i will go back to Carousel Boutique and finish the dresses i'm making for the girls." Rarity said as she trotted home.
"Well you low down varmints if i knew where Fluttershy when you'll be sorry!" AppleJack said as she chased down some beavers, they made another dam and now the crops that are left are getting soaked
"Whoa AppleJack what happened here?" Twilight said as she flew down from the sky still struggling with flying.
"It's these darn beavers they made another dam and my apples are getting soaked! Applebucking season is coming to a close and with that Vampire fruit bat incident last night i need to work my hooves off now!"AppleJack said. considering how many she had left and that her family is still at the contest.
"Why not get Fluttershy to talk to them?" Twilight said
"I would but no pony has any idea where she in the hay is!" AppleJack said.
"Well I will see if anypony knows where she is and bring her here to talk to the beavers." Twilight said as she flew away.
"Rainbow Dash have you seen Fluttershy?" Rarity said. Rarity need Fluttershy's help to get rid of the squirrels eating her latest designs in the boutique.
" Nope Nopony has seen her all day!" Rainbow Dash Said.
" Well this is horrible and all the animals are running wild so we really need her!" Rarity said.
" So i Guess you girls don't know what happened to Fluttershy either huh?" Twilight said.
" Hey TWILIGHT!!!" Pinkie Pie said as she walked out off SugarCube Corner with frosting on her face.
"Yes Pinkie Pie?" Twilight said looking at her frosting face and rolling her eyes
"I wanted to know if you had seen Fluttershy the Cakes need her because mice are eating all the baked goods! IT'S HORRIBLE! But I saved a cupcake!" Pinkie said
"Where is it?" RainbowDash said chasing a squirrel.
"In my stomach!" Pinkie said as she licked the frosting off her face
" FOCUS! Nopony knows where fluttershy is and her animals are running amuck!" twilight said.
" Well did she go and see the Harmony Tree?" Pinkie asked Twilight.
"why would she go to the Harmony Tree?" Rarity said
"I don't know just a hunch!" Pinkie said with a big smile
"I don't know! Lets go and see if she's there!" Twilight said. "Rainbow, Rarity can you stay here and keep the animals from hurting anypony?"
"Can do!" Rainbow said.
" Absolutely!" Rarity said as Pinkie & Twilight when to see if Fluttershy is by the tree.They ran as quick as they could to the Everfree forest coming across Star Spiders and other dangers as always in the Everfree forest. Until they came upon the beautiful crystal blue tree with the Elements of Harmony in the five trunks and twilights charm in the center of the tree. the two girls looked around.
Nothing the tree was deserted and no pony was anywhere
"UGH! where is she? she not here not at her cottage or well ANYWHERE!" Twilight said. "Oh ho ho you're looking for Fluttershy too I presume?" A familiar voice said
" Oh no not.... DISCORD?!" Twilight said. with a white flash Discord was in the Harmony Tree."What were you doing in the Harmony Tree Discord?" Twilight asked him.
"Well just hanging out!" he said hanging upside down from the branch that has Fluttershy's Element of Harmony. " but i am mainly looking for Fluttershy we had plans for tea today."
" You have tea with Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie asked as Discord flashed out of the tree.
"Yes she loves my cucumber sandwiches here try one!"Discord said as he flashes a plate of cucumber sandwiches tossing a one of them into pinkie's mouth
"MMM good what's your secret? Pinkie asked with food still in her mouth.
"Between you and me i add a little oats to give it more flavor." Discord whispered. Pinkie and Discord started to talk about cake until Twilight looked mad.
"UGH FOCUS! NO PONY HAS SEEN OR HEARD FROM FLUTTERSHY ALL DAY!" Twilight yelled.
"Oh right so discord you haven't heard from flutters at all?" Pinkie pie asked him
"No I was going to see if any of you had seen her but then I saw all the animals around and thought you were busy so..." Discord said before Twilight interrupted him
" YOU COULD HAVE HELPED US YOU KNOW!" Twilight said as she got closer to her breaking point.
"Well sorry 'Princess' Twilight!" Discord said with attitude
"Ok i'm sorry Discord it's just last night there was a problem and all of us are really worried about her." Twilight said after she calmed down.
"Problem with Fluttershy what happened?" Discord asked Twilight.
" Well it's a long story." Twilight said. Twilight started to tell the story about Flutterbat and applebucking season.
2 HOURS LATER
"...And then I used a spell to change her back to flutter.... HEY ARE YOU SLEEPING?!" Twilight said looking at Discord sleeping on the branch of the Harmony Tree and Pinkie sleeping on the ground mumbling about frosting. Twilight levitated them as they woke up, Discord looking guilty.
"Huh oh umm....... No?" Discord said with a sheepish smile.
"Discord! you wanted to know what part did you fall asleep on?"Twilight said looking annoyed thinking he is doing this on purpose.
" That part about applejack ringing the bell to get you there!" Discord said.
"UGH THAT WAS THE BEGINNING!!" Twilight screamed.
"Well it's not my fault your bad at telling stories!" Discord said. Twilight's mane and tail lit on fire.
"Hang on I got this." Pinkie pie said.
" No allow me to put her out Pinkie." Discord said as a fire extinguisher appeared in his paw, he put her out.
" OK i might as well tell you the whole.." Twilight said with her burned mane and tail until Pinkie interrupted her.
" Vampire fruit bats were eating applejacks crops so she wanted them gone But fluttershy thought they could help her crops so we sang a song and all of us except for Fluttershy agreed to get rid of them so Twilight used a spell to make them not want the apples but it reflects on to Fluttershy because she was pressured into using her stare power to get them to pay attention to Twilight and then there was something else eating her crops so we all go one a stake out and find out that fluttershy was now a bat so applejack sacrificed her prized apple to lure Flutterbat and then Twilight used the spell again to turn her and the bats back to normal and then made a special place for them in the farm the end!" Pinkie Pie said with one breath.
"Pinkie that was .. absolutely right?" Twilight questioned.
"Ok then now I know the story but the question remains wheres fluttershy?" Discord said.
"I wish there was something ANYTHING to tell us where Fluttershy is can't you track her or something?"Twilight asked Discord. It was later that day in Sweet Apple Acres and the problem with all the animals has mostly been solved thanks to Discord's magic. The animals eating everything are now home and the beavers are gone but the animals running wild are still at a high. Fluttershy has been missing since 9:30 that morning it's now 4:27 PM and the five ponies and Discord were in the barn.
"I can track magical imbalances not ponies!" Discord said "But if I were a detective I would go to the scene OF THE CRIME!" Discord yelled. he flashed on a trench coat and fedora with a pipe blowing bubbles out.
"Umm Discord you're not smoking are you?!" Rarity asked him with a worried look on her face.
"Hmm oh why I would never this is made out of chocolate." Discord said.He ate his pipe.
"Do you have another one?!" Pinkie pie said as it looks likes she's gonna burst.Discord poofed another chocolate pipe and tossed it to pinkie pie. She ate it with one gulp."MMM that was amaz..HICCUP" pinkie said before she started to hiccup. bubbles came out every time she hiccuped. "COOL! HICCUP HICCUP HICCUP HICCUP!' Pinkie said as she forced hiccups out of herself. Applejack dragged her away while Twilight and Discord continued to talk.
"Well does Zecora know I mean I do know Fluttershy go's there for some herbal teas?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah I guess she does sometimes." Twilight said.
"Well then thats it THE ZEBRA DID IT!"Discord yelled.Twilight hit her head with her hoof.
"So does that mean Fluttershy has been with Zecora all day?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Well if she was why would she spend so much time there?" Applejack said jumping into the conversation.
"I don't know but maybe Zecora knows where she is." Twilight said. "Let's go everypony! Oh and Discord." Twilight said. the 5 ponies and Discord left the barn.
Later at Zecora's Hut
Twilight approached Zecora's door and knocked. they all waited for the reply.
"Is she even home?" Discord said.
"She could be doing something, lets be patient." Twilight said.
"Well I Am done waiting. ZEBRA LET US IN!!" Discord said repeatedly banging on her door she finally answered.
"Who is knocking on my door? Zecora said when opening it. "Oh my it's Discord!" she said in shock.Twilight came behind him. "Ah Twilight sparkle come in come in, how long has it been?" zecora said.
"Hi Zecora, we were wondering if Fluttershy was here."Twilight said. Zecora shook her head no. "Aw well have you seen her we are all very worried about what happened to her."Twilight said.
"Yes or... you're not telling us everything 'Zecora' IF THATS YOUR REAL NAME!" Discord yelled. he was in his detective outfit again with a magnifying glass in his claw.
"Why did I let him come along with us?" Twilight thought
"Zecora is my real name,If i do claim." she said in her rhymes.
"UGH WHY MUST YOU RHYME?! ITS SO ANNOYING!!" Discord yelled pulling off his ears.Zecora chuckled.
"I rhyme with please, to me it's a breeze." Zecora said.
"Well then TRY AND RHYME NOW MISSY!" Discord said. He snapped his claw,nothing happened.
"Ha you spell did nothing to me Discord!" Zecora said. Then she realized what he did. "AHH what did you do to me?! I can't rhyme anymore!" Zecora said in a worried voice.
"You can rhyme again when we get Fluttershy back!" Discord said.Zecora looked mad then she took a deep breath and started to talk again.
"Well i am sorry to say but I have not seen Fluttershy, Not since 4 days ago when she was going to the Harmony tree." Zecora said to Twilight and Friends.
"Wait why was she at the Harmony Tree?" Rainbow Dash jumping into the conversation said.
"Well she told me she wanted some tea for a picnic with discord, she told me they have there picnics there a lot." Zecora said.
"Thats why I was there in the tree, Fluttershy was going to meet me there." Discord said.
"I cannot help you anymore my friends I wish you all the best of luck to finding your friend Fluttershy." Zecora told them all as they left her hut.
The main 5 and Discord were leaving the everfree forest when Angel bunny came by them.
"Oh You what do you want rodent?" Discord said. He and Angel has had a bit of a rivalry since Fluttershy became friends with him. Angel looked worried making a chatter.
"Angel what is it?" Twilight asked him. He made the motion for them to follow him. "Huh ok come on girls!" Twilight said.They entered Fluttershy's Cottage. "Well angel what is it?" She asked him.Angel showed her to fluttershy's room and started to chatter even more. Twilight gave a confused face. Angel slapped his forehead and got on Fluttershy's messy bed."Angel! Get off Fluttershy bed!" Twilight said. Angel stared at Twilight till she finally understood why he was on her bed. she gasped in horror. "She would never leave her bed messy under any conditions! Something horrible must have happened is that what you were trying to tell me?!"she said. Angel shook his head yes.Twilight took angel and ran down stairs to her friends and Discord. "SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENED TO FLUTTERSHY!"Twilight screamed
"Oh dear!" Rarity said she fainted on Fluttershy's couch.
"What do you mean Twilight?"Pinkie Pie said. Twilight told them.
"Well then where in Equestria would she be?" Rarity said.
"I don't know. Angel do you know what happened?" Twilight asked him. He shook his head yes. "I guess asking you wouldn't make sense you can't talk...But I think I have a spell that can!" All the ponies had a confused look. "Come on everypony we need to get to my library to find something! Let's go!" Twilight said she grabbed Angel and ran out of Fluttershy's Cottage. The others followed her to the house.
"Spike! SPIKE! GET UP!" Twilight said rushing into her room. It was around 6:00 p.m. and the girls and Discord have yet to see Fluttershy all day long.
"Ugh what Twilight? What is so important that you had to interrupt my sunset afternoon nap?" Spike said as he came out with bags under his eyes.
"I need the book with the animal translation spell!" Twilight said.
"Huh why do you need that book?" Spike asked as he got out of bed.
"I need it too find out what Angel is saying it might help us find out what happened to Fluttershy!" Twilight said running around trying to find the book.
"That book oh it's over here.Here you go Twilight now can I please get some sleep?" Spike asked rubbing his eyes.
"Yes. Thank you!" Twilight said. She levitated the book with her magic and rushed down stairs. " I have a spell that will make it so Angel will be able to tell us what happen." Twilight said flipping through her books and telling her friends. None of them knew what she was talking about. "Ah ha here it is! Alright Angel are you ready?" Twilight asked him. He shook his head, no pony knows whats going on.. Twilight's horn starts to glow bright pink then get's darker and darker. everypony backs away, except for angel. He stood there with a serious face on.Then the spell hit him. Angel fell on top of some books. Everyone was scared except Discord who was cheering on the inside. Then Angel got up. " Angel? Can you hear me? Say something. "Twilight asked him.
"My head is a little shaken up but other than that i'm fine." Angel said in a clam voice. Everyone stared every Discord was surprised.
"Yes! It worked we can understand Angel now!" Twilight said. "Now Angel do you know what happened to Fluttershy?"she asked him.
"Huh OH YEAH! THE HORROR THE HORROR!"Angel screamed.
"What happened Angel!?" Twilight asked him in a worried tone.
"Here is the short version, FLUTTERSHY WAS KIDNAPPED BY STRANGE BAT LIKE PONIES!!!" Angel screamed. Everyone gasped in horror except for Rarity who fainted to the ground.
"WHAT?! ANGEL WHAT HAPPEN TO FLUTTERSHY?!?!" Twilight screamed.
"Well you lovely ponies and Discord better get comfortable because it's a long story!"
*** Well it all started late last night when Fluttershy tucked the babies in bed then me and her when upstairs to bed.
"Good night Angel. It's been a big night with everything that happened." Fluttershy yawned. she turned out her light and then got into bed. I always sleep by her all the time. so I fell asleep too. Later that night I heard a noise and I saw that she wasn't in her bed. I got worried and ran around to find her. I did find her she was getting a glass of water, It was after we got back into bed before the really bad things happened.
" You sure this is the right place?" A shadowy figure said. he looked Around the decor of our home. " Cause you know the master will destroy us if we don't find her!"
" Relax my brother this is the place where the bat mare lives, have faith in the king he saw the vision of beauty sucking the juice of an apple! He want's to morph her to be like us so we will have a proper queen!" The other shadowy figure said. I heard them coming up saying those things about our home I got curious so I left my small bed and went out of the room to see what said that. I was scared but brave and saw them talking.***
"Them? Who's them?" Twilight asked him
"Hush! I am telling you what happened!!" Angel spat. "So where was I oh yeah........"
*** I couldn't believe what I was seeing they looked like ponies but the appearance was unlike anything I had ever seen. They had weird wings that kinda resembled...a bat.
" A bat? But they look like ponies!" I whispered
"Huh? Who's there?!" The skinny like shadowy pony said. They heard me. They were definitely not normal. I ran as fast I could to warn Fluttershy but not fast enough. "A rodent? What a pest! Cloak, give me the small bag we brought with us, and hurry this one is wild!" He told the bigger one.
"Ok Shadow! here you go!" The big pony who I think his name was Cloak said. He threw the bag at the one who was holding me who I think his name was Shadow. He threw me in the small bag and tied string around the top I could still see the bag had a hole but it was too small for me to escape from. I was trapped. I was worried what would happen to Fluttershy because I could not warn her. Shadow put me on his belt and luckily the small hole from what I can see from was facing forward. They got closer to Fluttershy's room. When they went In I screamed as loud as I could.
"FLUTTERSHY RUN, LEAVE GET OUT!!" I screamed she woke up startled but too late she saw the two and was getting ready to fly until Cloak stepped on her tail making her ruin her bed.
" ANGEL!! WHO...WHO ARE YOU TWO?!" She screamed
"The two bat's sent to get our future Queen!" Cloak said to her. She was frozen with fear. It looked like she wanted to scream but she just stood their petrified with fear. Then it happened Cloak threw a big bag over her and Shadow threw me across the room when I hit the hard floor I blacked out. When I woke up I was still in the bag. The birds found me and freed me then I saw girl's and Discord walking out of the Everfree Forest.***
"That's everything I know, Twilight. Do you have any idea about these creatures?" Angel asked her.
"No I'm sorry Angel." Twilight hung her head as did most of her friends. Then someone broke the silence.
"I know who they were."
Everyone turned their heads to see that Discord was the one who broke the silence.
"What? Discord wha.. what do you mean?" Twilight asked him.
"Their names are Cloak & Shadow Fangworth." Discord said. Everyone was shocked especially Twilight." They are like ponies as of their appearance but it's their wings that give it away."
"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked him.
"The ponies that took Fluttershy.... were bat ponies. I know who they are because I know the king. His name was Bloodworth. He has been looking for a bride for as long as I had known him. But in their kingdom there are no Bat mares only stallions. He must of had spies looking for anything and saw bat Fluttershy. Luckily for you I know where the hidden kingdom is!" Discord said.
"Well what are we waiting for invites let's get Fluttershy back!" Angel said.
"One problem bunny, I can only take two with me." Discord said. "If everyone went then it could risk Fluttershy's life."
"Well I am going!" Angel said.
"I guess I will go too Discord!" Twilight said.
"Ok then let's go!" Discord said.
"Girl's make sure the town is safe we will be back with Fluttershy!" Twilight said as she, Discord, and Angel left.
"All good? Great... Now LET'S GET FLUTTERSHY BACK!!"Angel yelled.
"Discord I've been meaning to ask how do you know about bat ponies?"Twilight asked him. Discord, Angel, & Twilight were going through a new part of the Everfree forest nopony had ever seen before. It was later night had fallen Fluttershy was still missing.
"Well before it took over Equestria I lived in the Kingdom of the Everfree Forest."
"Everfree Kingdom?"
"Yes There is a kingdom unknown to you ponies far away from the Everfree forest but not too far away from the Harmony Tree."
"Really? Huh. So why did you leave?"
"Well that brings back memories. I was young about two years younger than I am today but still. I Was in the Bat kingdom of everfree with my Old Best friend the Newly crowned king Bloodworth. He was a mean rotten bat pony. Just like his father.
"So Why is he looking for a bride?" Angel asked him.
"Because it's a tradition."
"A tradition?"
"Yes a tradition. Every Bat king must find a Bat queen."
"But Discord didn't you say there are no bat mare's?" Twilight asked him.
"Well there was. Until I came there. "
"What do you mean Discord?"
"Well let's just say Blood said something very offensive to me and I got revenge by turning every mare into a stallion, FOREVER!" Discords said.
"Woah, Drama." Angel smirked.
"Well we're here." Discord said. It was two tree's near each other.
"Discord? Theres nothing there." Twilight stated with a little irritation.
"What are you talking about Twilight? It's a big village!" Angel said.
"What are you both talking about?!" Twilight said.
"Oops I forgot only Everfree beings, animals, & Me can see the kingdom. It's to keep ponies such as yourself from seeing the kingdom." Discord said.
"Well how can I see the kingdom?" Twilight asked him.
"I have an Idea but you have to trust me."
"Ummm Ok?" Twilight said a little scared.
"OK HERE I GOOOOO!!!!!" Discord yelled. He snapped his fingers and just like that Twilight was a stone statue. Angel's mouth was wide open.
"DISCORD WHAT DID YOU DO TO TWILIGHT?!?!" Angel yelled.
"Relax Carrot Breath she's fine the spell takes a few minutes to work." Discord stated. The statue of twilight began to move.
"Ugh my head. Discord what did you do to mEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed looking at her hoofs. They were stone. She also had a dress on. Her horn was missing as well but her wing's were still there. "Discord a few thing's 1. Why am I stone? 2. Where is my horn? 3. Why am I wearing a dress? 4. WHY AM I STONE?!"
"To answer your questions. 1. I turned you stone because there is no bat mares and you would hate being an everfree pony. 2. Stone mare's have wings not horns. 3. Your wearing a dress because like your Canterlot everyone wears clothing of elegance." Discord stated.
"Ok that makes sense. Sorta." Twilight said. She looked at the trees and saw the huge village. "Wow that is a big village and is that the castle?" Twilight asked him then she turned to see him in a strange looking pony form. "Umm Discord why do you look like that?"
"I am a Everfree pony Twilight which reminds me." Discord started to say he transformed one hoof and snapped his claw and a saddle bag appeared. "Angel you need to get in the bag. It's a tradition for a Stone Mare to have a small pet in their bags."
"Umm I hate to bring this up but I'm claustrophobic." Angel stated.
"Get in the bag Carrot Breath!" Discord said.
"Make me Dipcord!"
"Mama's boy!"
"Statute But!"
"Baby Face!"
"Umm ummm DANG IT!" Angel said in defeat. He hopped into Twilight's saddlebag.
"Ok. Let's go and save fluttershy!"Discord said. Discord and Twilight ran into the town. It was somewhat deserted.
"Where are the Bat's?" Twilight asked Discord.
"I don't know usually they are every......WAIT! I Can hear them they're in there!" He pointed his 'hoof' at a small punch place. They walked in to many bat stallions gathered around two of them. Twilight and Discord couldn't see who they were they could only hear them.
"Tell us how you fought of the Ursa major again!" A bat said.
"Well that was quite the story wasn't it my brother?" One of the two stallions said.
"Oh Yeah brother! It was a Big one!" The other one said.
"Wait a second..." Angel whispered.
"Huh? Angel what is it?" Twilight asked him.
"GASP IT'S THEM! tHE TWO THAT TOOK FLUTTERSHY!" Angel said in a hushed but still loud voice.
"What?!" Discord said. He extended his neck to see that it was them. Cloak and Shadow Fangworth. "Yeah it's them alright. I have a plan to get them to get us to Fluttershy. But Twilight you have to do it."
"Why?"
"Because I can't!" Discord said. He whispered into Twilight's ear the plan.
"WHAT?!" Twilight hissed. "You want me to act like..like.."
"Rarity?" Angel said.
"Yeah! Why?" Twilight said.
"Those two are dogs if you act like her and get them outside then we can get them to tell us what happened to Fluttershy!" Discord said. (I Am So sorry for any Rarity fan if this is offensive in any way I needed a character who can make stallions do whatever she want's and I thought of "The Best Night Ever" During the part when rarity got her neighbors to pull their carriage. Again Sorry if this is offensive!)
"Oh Fine!" Twilight said. Discord ran out of the place to where he and Twilight would meet.
".....And then We came up behind him and threw him down thus defeating the Ursa Major!" Shadow said.
"Ohh Boys...." Twilight said. Coak and Shadow turned their head's to see a beautiful Stone mare in a dark indigo dress.
"Sweet Celestia!" Cloak said.
"Would you please come outside with me I want to ask you big strong bat Stallions to do me a huge favor." Twilight said.
"Of Course my dear, Cloak come!" Shadow said. Cloak, Shadow, & Twilight left the place and went around to the back where discord was. "So Little Mare what is it that you need us to do?"
"Sure I need you...... TO TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO FLUTTERSHY!" She screamed. The two of them backed away from her.
"Umm Well who's Fluttershy?" Cloak said in a worried voice.It was too obvious that he was lying. The two of them started to sweat then made a run for it but smashed into Discord.
"D..D...Discord?!" Shadow said he backed away from him. "But We thought you were a stone statue!"
"Well I'm not anymore I'm reformed, But THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WILL HURT YOU UNLESS YOU TELL US WHERE SHE IS!!!" He yelled.
"YEAH YOU JERKS!" Angel said coming out of Twilight's bag.
"Wait aren't you that rodent from last night..Yeah you are!" Cloak said.
"TELL US WHERE SHE IS AND MAYBE I WON'T HAVE CELESTIA BANISH YOU TOW TO THE MOON!!" Twilight said. Discord snapped his fingers revealing that she was an Alicorn.
"Oh Celestia she's a princess!"Shadow said. "Fine! We will take you to Fluttershy. Just don't hurt us!"
"Yeah!" Cloak said.
"Good now, Take. Us. To. FLUTTERSHY!!!" Discord yelled.
"ALRIGHT SHEESH!" Shadow said. "But you might want to change her back into the stone pony just so we don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
"Good point" Discord snapped his fingers and Twilight looked the same as she did moments ago. The he snapped them again and turned into an Everfree pony.
"So what was with that story and the Ursa Major, Shadow?" Twilight asked him. Twilight, Discord, & Angel Bunny had reached the Bat kingdom but still have yet to find Fluttershy. However they had obtained two Bat ponies to help them get Fluttershy back (Whether they like it or not).
"Oh That was a story how we found an Ursa Major and beat it saving the Kingdom!" Shadow said proudly. Twilight looked at him for a second not buying what he said.
"Oh really? What color was it?" She asked him.
"Oh, it was Green of course!" Shadow said
"Really and where did you say you fought it?"
"By the Lagoon of the Mermares, that's where they always go when they want to hurt innocent ponies."
"Right right, except for just two small things."
"What's that?"
"Your lying!"
"What?! No I'm not."
"Ursa Majors are a dark lavender and they are peacefully creatures, they wouldn't hurt anypony." Twilight told him. Shadow looked ashamed that a mare he didn't know figured it out. "Why would you lie about that?"
"It's hard being a knight for the King when your kingdom is hidden." Shadow said "Besides it's even harder taking care of an idiot of a Bat." He pointed to his brother ahead leading them all.
"Your brothers alright, what's the problem?"
"He can't fight for himself, he always need somepony to protect him."
"I'm sorry, but isn't there any pony else that can watch over him? Like a father or something?"
"Died over 200 years ago, after a fallout of kingdoms" Shadow said.
"Fallout of kingdoms…?"
"Yeah it was nuts,everyone for themselves. All this started right after the princesses rule."
"Princesses rule? As in Celsetia and Luna?"
"No, our princesses, Princess Carina and Princess Gemini. They protected the kingdom and helped us all, we took it for granted though, eventually they kingdoms demanded more and more out of the Princesses and eventually they separated the kingdoms into three. Bats, Stone, and Everfree. Each kingdom has one ruler. The Bat kingdom has King Bloodworth, the stone kingdom has Princess Carina, and the Everfree kingdom the biggest of them all has the newly crowned Queen Gemini."
"How did Bloodworth become king?"
"Well, no pony is really sure, a lot supect he hypnotized the princesses into giving him power, but I don't know."
"Hmm, is he s good king to you all?"
"Good?! You kidding? Bloodworth is a cruel as a Changeling!"
"Then why stay around with him? Why can't you leave to one of the other kingdoms or live in equestria?"
"Because the ponies in equestria don't care for creatures like me or my brother. The only one who would ever accept us a little would be Princess Luna. But still, even if we wanted to we can't. Even if we wanted to live in the other kingdoms of everfree, the rulers wouldn't accept us. Princess Carina is a stone alicorn while Queen Gemini is a true everfree alicorn. They pay no mind to us bat ponys so we don't really have a choice to live here."
"I'm so sorry Shadow..."
"Yeah but it's not a problem, the problem here is that Bloodworth is a psycho. He wants to take over Equestria. That's my guess why he wanted the mare, with a wife he can find a way to gain more land and make more bat ponies to the point where normal ponies are slaves to him,"
"More Bat ponies? Wait how could he do that?"
"Magic spells I guess, we can't drain blood from ponies without… Consequences…"
"Consequences?"
"Yes. We can drink blood however it is a death wish not just it out victim but to us as well. Bat ponies can drink blood from animals without a problem, but for some reason pony blood is different. If a Bat pony drinks the blood of a normal pony they become what we now call "Savage." However the real name of this is called The Dracula Virus."
"Dracula? The vampire pony from those old horror stories?"
"Yep. Once the blood of the pony has entered theirs it becomes a race of adrenaline until the heart completely kills the vampire, but during that time they become a blood hungry kill and will kill anything around it. The virus is harder to control now then it was in the past, if we even get a whiff of pony blood we start to lose control and just well… you know. That's why we are now more hidden then ever, to protect ponies and ourselves. But that idiot will kill us all out if he tries to take over your lands."
"I…See…"
"So now I'm gonna ask you the questions, for starters, I thought there was only Three Alicorn princesses in Equestria, how are you one?"
"Oh, it's a long story..."
"I'll listen"
Twilight told Shadow the story about her switching her friends cutie marks and all the adventures she had before she became a princess
"Wow, that's incredible. To think you were just a bookworm and now your a princess"
"Yeah...hey look it's the castle!"
"IT'S. ABOUT. TIME. I WAS GETTING TIRED OF HEARING ALL THOSE STORIES IT FEELS YOU'VE BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS!" Discord yelled out.
Twilight and Shadow looked at him. They huffed.
Shadow knocked on the place doors
"Who goes there?"
"Tis I Shadow, and I bring a Mage of the stone ponies and a royal adviser of the Everfree, they wish to see the king as a congrats to finding a wife"
"How'd they know. He hadn't sent any kind of message out about it yet."
"We had heard from some ponies visiting our kingdoms. Our rulers do not know of this yet we wanted to see if it was true!" Twilight yelled to him.
"I guess you can come in..." The doors open Twilight, Discord, Shadow and Cloak walk in.
Everywhere around the kingdom looked like it could use a clean up, it was in worse condition then Celestia and Luna's old castle. They walk down a dark hall with pictures of the old kings, they get to the room where Bloodworth was, Shadow and Cloak kneeled, Twilight and Discord did as well.
"My king. These two have come from the sister kingdoms to say congratulations on your engagement." Cloak told him. Twilight looked up at him, he was different then all the other bat ponies she's seen so far. He looked like King Sombra in a way, he had a short jet black mane with a silver crown, he had dark grey coat and was wearing a red cape, hiding his wings. He turned to the two of them. His eyes were blood red and his fangs hanged out from his mouth, they were like daggers. But he was very different from the other bats, he had a horn.
"My engagement? But I have yet to announce it to any kingdom yet. Tell me, how did you know?" He hissed at Twilight. She told him the same thing she told the guard. "I see... I don't remember you, miss...?"
"My name is Eclipsa."
"Eclipsa? What a beautiful name."
"Yes yes, may we meet the bride to be, Fluttershy?" He looked at her for a moment then turned away
"Of course you both may, in fact you should stay for the wedding"
"No it's ok we've already imposed on you enough..." Twilight tried to reason.
"I insist Miss Solaria."
"It's quite alright, your highness."
"Yes yes, no wedding is complete..." He stopped his hoofs twice on the ground and instantly Bat pony guards showed up, grabbing Twilight and Discord "...Without a Captive Audience."
"Hey let us go!"
"Sorry my dear but you aren't what you say you are, and I believe your friend isn't either. Guards chain them! I don't want them doing anything." The guards put shackles on their hoofs. His horn glowed a bloody red and then used a spell, destroying Twilight and Discords disguises. "Discord. And Princess Twilight. How wonderful for you both to be here!" He smiled.
"WHERE IS FLUTTERSHY?!" Discord demanded.
"My queen? She's right here of course but it doesn't matter, she doesn't care about you two anymore." He walked by a mare, it was Fluttershy.
She was cloaked in black coving her body like she wasn't there. Discord tried to break the chains and use his magic but nothing was working
"What did you do to my magic?!" He demanded, Twilight tried to use her magic but failed as well.
"That spell I did has nullified your magic, it's useless as long as your in my castle. Guards take them away, I don't want anyone interrupting my perfect wedding." Bloodworth and Fluttershy started to leave while the guards started to drag them out of the room, Twilight needed to see Fluttershy, she hit the two guards holding her and flew to Fluttershy, the guards slashed her wing and made her fall, she landed near Fluttershy and Bloodworth and grabbed the hood she was wearing, pulling it right off.
Twilight looked at her sweet friend and could not believe what she saw. Fluttershy was dressed in a black dress with a spider web train on the end. Her fluffy feather wings were now sharp and bat like. Her round ears were now pointy. Her coat and mane were dull and her once beautiful teal eyes were now a pale red. But the worst was her teeth they were sticking out, she had fangs. Twilight backed away for a second, one of her best friends was now a vampire.
"F-Fluttershy?!"
Twilight fainted from the shock of what had happened to her dear friend Fluttershy. The guards started to take them all away, Fluttershy grabbed her hood and put it back on. Bloodworth put his hoof on her neck and waked out of the room with her, he said something that echoed through the dark and ominous room.
"Come my beautiful bride to be, we have much to do..."
