Fluttershy is not kind in this universe, she is a stone cold assassin
Fluttershy has been trained to kill, and kill only, since childhood, she has experimented with killing. She serves Nightmare without hesitation to take out rebel contributors
Author's note The following story takes place in an alternate Equestria, Nightmare Moon is the ruler, Twilight was never sent to Ponyville, and continued her studies, Rarity never went to the gala, and is still pursuing Blue Blood, Applejack went to Trottingham, won the lottery, and now owns a major corporation, Pinkie Pie stayed at Sugarcube corner, but she currently supplies sweets for all royal families in the world, Rainbow Dash joined the Shadowbolts, and worst of all, Fluttershy, the giver of kindness to all who need it, finally snapped back to her old ways.
A young Fluttershy is sitting alone in a large meadow, her parents are away for ten more minutes, she becomes bored, so she starts looking for something to keep her occupied. She sees a butterfly and she flaps her tiny wings furiously, gaining no lift, she decides to walk over and get a closer look. She crept closer to the butterfly, and when she got close enough, it fluttered over and landed on her hoof, it surprised her and she smashed it, that's where it started, a butterfly.
At first, Fluttershy was sad, but she then realized how much she enjoyed the rush, it was like, a sugar rush times a million, she had never felt that kind of exhilaration before, but she vowed she would fell it again. her body finally relaxed, and she walked away, leaving the butterfly behind her.
Two weeks later, Fluttershy's friend had his fifth birthday party, she was exactly one year and three days older than him, and he was jealous. Fluttershy had told him about the butterfly, and he told his mom, who told her parents. She was grounded for a week, and she wanted to feel the rush again, and revenge, but this was different, he was a pony after all, she couldn't kill a pony could she
Her mind was made up, but she had to make it look like an accident, she couldn't let anyone ever know. While they were waiting for the schoolcart to flight camp, she and him were playing on the cloud, and he jumped at her, this was her chance, she kicked a hole in the cloud, and he fell through. Down and down he went, she closed her eyes, she didn't want to see it, but she wanted it to happen.
Unluckily enough, an adult saw it and saved the boy, the same adult walked over to Fluttershy and hit her hard in the face. The adult happened to be her abusive father, the one who'd grounded and beat her. She was angry, she exploded, she hit her father back, he smiled an punched her as hard as he could, she fell unconscious.
She woke up two hours later, in a hospital bed, her mother and father were both in the room, her mother worried, and her father smiling. She sent him a dirty look, and he sent one right back, she hated her father. The second her mother left the room, she slid out of bed, grabbed a needle, and stabbed her father.
She stabbed him in the chest, he tried to scream, but she kicked his mouth, so only muffled, blood filled mumbles were heard. she closed her eyes, and he died by her hands. She jumped out the window, and ran and ran.
She was caught six weeks later, she was hiding in an abandoned building outside of Trottingham, her mother immediately disowned her, and she was sent to the Juvenile delinquency clinic outside of Canterlot, she would be held there for five years, then be sent to the Teenage Facility next door, where she would spend seven years, and then be released.
At least she would have if the case, even with an extreme amount of evidence, was thrown out, and she was released, no question.She longed for the rush of killing a pony again, and she knew exactly who it would be. her friend, the one who started it all, he would die next.
She planned and planned, and finally got an idea, she would lure him to an abandoned house and poison him with a chemical in the air, that way, no one could pin it on her, but pin it on the old house. She lured him in, but didn't have to poison him, she walked ahead, and on their way inn, he fell through the floor, he fell thirty feet, into a sink hole. He fell to his death, just like she'd planned a few weeks earlier.
No one ever found out why the floor gave away, but many suspect that it was Fluttershy's plan, even though that was a lie. She had planned to poison him, not let him fall to his death.
When Fluttershy had turned thirteen, she had killed her father, her frienemy, and two muggers who had tried to rob her. On her fourteenth birthday, she was arrested for trying to kill an officer who was trying to help her away from a bad neighborhood.
Fluttershy's case this time was not dropped, she spent eight years in jail for the attempted murder of an officer of the law. She was released a year early, her twentieth birthday exactly, she kept up the violence in jail, every fight it seemed, involved Fluttershy.
Ten days after she was released, Nightmare Moon took power, Fluttershy was summoned by royal guards, she knew sh couldn't win against them, she followed them. Soon enough, they were all in Nightmare's court.
"Ahh yes, Fluttershy," Nightmare said, chuckling, "I have read your records, and you seem to like killing, is that right?"
Fluttershy slowly nodded, and Nightmare laughed some more.
"You see, I need to control the population, I need somepony to kill certain targets for me,'' Nightmare started, "I started local, and i found you, seven counts of attempted murder, three counts of murder, twenty six counts of assault, and you were only charged on one count of attempted murder,"
Fluttershy was listening.
"You serve me and I will grant you two things, one is immortality, and the other is that you will never be charged with your crimes,' Nightmare said.
"And if I don't?" Fluttershy said.
Nightmare levitated one of the guards and she choked him to death, very slowly and painfully, Fluttershy gulped.
"I'm glad you agreed,' Nightmare said, immediately, three guards grabbed Fluttershy and threw her into a large room with four other ponies, two mares, and two stallions.
"Fight!" A loud voice boomed, immediately after that, a knife appeared on the floor, they all, except for Fluttershy, ran for it.
Fluttershy watched as one of the stallions pulled at the knife, and a landmine exploded under it, his left foreleg was half gone, he screamed and grasped it. The other stallion took the first and broke his neck, the stallion fell to the ground, dead.
Fluttershy ran over to him when no one was looking, she lay down beside him, and covered herself in his blood, she appeared dead, the three kept fighting. The stallion was stabbed by the knife, or at least the blade, the handle was gone. he bled all over the floor, he collapsed into a large pool of his own blood.
The two mares circled, and occasionally threw a punch, after about five minutes, one mare jumped at the other, and she was kicked in the skull, Fluttershy head the sound of a skull breaking, and as the mare was celebrating her victory, Fluttershy rose, covered in foreign blood, she broke the mare's arms. The mare fell down, screaming, Fluttershy finished her with a head stomp.
Fluttershy was shot with a tranquilizer dart, everything went black to her, but she was being taken back to the Nightmare.
Fluttershy awoke.
"Well, you're my new assassin,"Nightmare chuckled.
"You will be trained, in stealth, orders, and weaponry," Nightmare said.
It was true, Fluttershy was trained, harshly. She was subjected to the harshest elements in the word, and she passed through. On the last day of her training, her test, she was to use a sniper rifle and take out Trottingham's mayor.
Target distance: 400 yards
Wind: SSE at 4mph
Target: Mayor Mare
Weapon: .50 cal sniper rifle
Shooter: Fluttershy
Score:
She zeroed in on her target, the Mayor was giving a speech inside her office in front of important officials, Fluttershy had to shoot through the Mayors window, it was three inch thick glass, no problem.
Fluttershy fired, the bullet took half a second to reach the Mayor's window, it shattered, and the Mayor was ripped in half at the stomach, the officials fled the room, screaming as the blood from the mayor sprayed onto them.
Score: 80% not a headshot
Fluttershy had passed her years of training, and now it was time for official jobs.
"Flutter, you have one target, her name is Twilight Sparkle, she has been corrupting students at our institutes, making them anti-me, are we clear," Nightmare said.
"What will I use?" Fluttershy asked, looking up at Nightmare.
"You may go inside and use knives and explosives, or you can use your rifle," Nightmare said.
"Explosives and knives," Fluttershy chuckled.
"Expected, you have a machete and fifty pounds of C4 plastic explosive,' Nightmare handed Fluttershy a saddlebag filled with C4 and detonation wire equipment.
"You go now,' Nightmare said, Fluttershy waled to the University.
Fluttershy arrived at the main hall of the campus, it was not far form Nightmare's castle, in fact some of the buildings were shared.
"Welcome, are you here to see Dean Sparkle?" the lady at the desk asked.
"Yes, Princess Moon sent me,' Fluttershy said, the mares expression went blank with fright, she let Fluttershy through the security door no question.
Fluttershy walked down the hallway on the sixth floor towards a door marked 'Dean'.
"Well, I don't care, why'd you let her thr-' Twilight said, but was stopped by Fluttershy entering, Twilight hung up the phone.
"You must be Fluttershy," Twilight said, extending a hoof.
"Yes, you must be Dean Sparkle," Fluttershy said, shaking Twilight's hoof.
"So why did you come to my institute?" Twilight asked curiously, surely moon didn't know about her rallying.
"Government inspections, could I see your building's blueprints," Fluttershy asked.
"Of course," Twilight said, she was relieved, she handed Fluttershy the blueprints.
Fluttershy walked off, out Twilight's office doors. In truth she liked this Sparkle, but she had a job to do, she headed for the elevator, once inside, she opened the blueprints, they contained a pass code for the elevator, she entered it, and the elevator stopped.
Fluttershy got right to work, she put a pound of C4 on each of the elevators brakes, and two behind the panel that controlled it.Having almost forty-five pounds of extra explosive, she placed C4 in each of the corrupted students' rooms. thirty-six in all. And finally, Fluttershy waited six hours, Twilight finally left, and Fluttershy placed six pounds of C4 in her office, more than enough to blow it to pieces.
Fluttershy waited and waited until Twilight's students were all in their rooms, and while twilight was in her office. Her students' rooms were lined on a hallway that connected to Twilight's office. Fluttershy opened Tilight's doors and walked away, which caused Twilight to look up.
"Aah Fluttershy, did you find everything okay?" Twilight asked.
Fluttershy was in the elevator doorway, keeping it open, she held up a detonator, which momentarily confused Twilight, Fluttershy clicked to button, and a beeping noise sounded.
Explosions went down the hallway, two at a time, one across from each other, until finally they reached Twilight's office, and with a loud explosion, Twilight's office disintegrated, with her still in it., the elevator doors closed, and she went downstairs. when she arrived downstairs, a group of security guards ran into the elevator.
"Bye," Fluttershy said cruelly, when the elevator doors closed the elevator detonated, six pounds of C4 in a 10x10 space, all of the guards were dead.
"Stop," the mare at the front desk said, blocking the exit.
Fluttershy laughed, she pulled out her machete, and slit the mare's throat, her machete raising faster than she could react.
Fluttershy walked out of the burning building, she felt as something was not right, sh had let somepony live, and she could leave no survivors, Fluttershy turned around, and she headed back up to the sixth floor, the floor of the explosion. Fluttershy looked around, and in the last two rooms, she found three survivors, all broken and bloodied.
The first, a blue mare in her twenties, was laying there, crying she said,
"Help, please,"
"Okay," Fluttershy laughed quietly, she stabbed her blade into the mare's heart.
The second, a stallion, probably in his late teens, looked up at her, his left foreleg was gone, the explosive had taken it off. he looked up at her and said,
"Kill me, please.'
That threw Fluttershy off a bit, but she obliged, and stabbed the stallion.
The final survivor, he had a coat like her father, he said to her,
"Please help me,'
"I'm sorry," Fluttershy said, stabbing him in the heart, "You shouldn't have beaten me when I was little daddy, i could've helped you,"
Fluttershy walked out of the building one last time, the whole thing collapsing behind her, she found the sound relaxing, this job was done. Pieces of debris were floating, becoming wet with the rain, people were screaming, it was all, all so peacful to Fluttershy.
"HALT!" a guard yelled, three more came and secured her.
"You're under arrest, you're going straight to the Princess,' one guard said.
Fluttershy was carried to the court of Nightmare, who was laughing maniacally.
"Release her," Nightmare said.
"How many did you kill?" Nightmare asked, a completely different tone.
"Forty-four, the dean, thirty-six traitors, six guards, and the front desk worker," Fluttershy bragged.
"Why'd you kill the desk worker?" Nightmare asked, she didn't want any excess casualties.
"She tried to stop me," Fluttershy said, and Nightmare nodded.
Fluttershy was dismissed and she headed up to her study, her study was really more of a weaponry storage facility. All of her weapons were there, sniper rifle, pistols, SMGs, knives, explosives, everything. The few books that were there were from her first year of training, marksman guides, explosives training. Fluttershy laid down to go to sleep for the day.
Twilight saw Fluttershy click the detonator, she heard a beeping noise, the rooms in front of her exploded, one by one, all of her beloved students, dead. In the last second, she teleported, she need to appear dead. Twilight teleported to the castle to find Nightmare, but she realized that Nightmare had sent the assassin.
Twilight finally decided to teleport to BlueBlood's rebel base in the old Everfree castle, there were thousands there, she would never be found by Nightmare, alive that is.
In all, Fluttershy had only killed 43 that day, and that 1 she missed would change the future...
Fluttershy slept for six hours even, no more, no less. the second she woke up, she walked downstairs, and recieved her next mission.
"Fluttershy, you are to take out the head of the Apple corporation, her name is Applejack, she is orange with Blonde hair, this is a sniper mission, quick and easy," Nightmare said, handing Fluttershy a suitcase.
"What city?" Fluttershy asked.
"You will be posted in a parking garage across form her office, in FillyDelphia," Nightmare said.
Fluttershy nodded and she walked off, loading her suitcase into a saddlebag, she flew off, it would be five hours until she was in FillyDelphia, enough time to plan. She flew through storms, they didn't affect her very much, made her go a little higher, but other than that, she was unaffected.
She finally made it to FillyDelphia, it was night, her target wouldn't arrive for several hours, so Fluttershy set up her position. She opened the suitcase, it contained the barrel, clip, and stock assembly to a 7.62 mm rifle, she assembled it, the rounds she was using were special, they were anti infantry armor piercing rounds.
Fluttershy fell asleep, but was awoke by her alarm, that meant it was 5 minutes until her target's meeting started, Fluttershy loaded the rifle, she checked the measurements.
Elevation: 113.2 feet
Distance: 75 yards
Wind:None
Time: 8:00 a.m.
Applejack walked into the meeting room, she had several workers in their with her, she started the presentation, but Fluttershy discovered that it was on locations of bases, she took pictures through her scope. She waited until it was on the last slide, she looked through the scope, lined up her shot, and she pulled the trigger.
The bullet sped out of the rifle at amazing speed, the bullet hit the large window and it shattered, and it finally hit Applejack, the bullet hit her in the shoulder, and she fell to the ground.
"No witnesses," Fluttershy whispered, she pulled back the bolt, releasing it locked a round into the chamber.
Boom, one down
Boom, two down
Boom, three down
Boom, four down
Boom, five down
Crack, Fluttershy shot the elevator doors, it ricocheted and hit her scope, but she moved in time.
She took down every traitor in that meeting, but there were five who had just come up through the elevator.
Boom, she hit one in the head, the same bullet hit another in the stomach.
The elevator doors closed, and Fluttershy jumped from the building, and she flew towards the open window. She pried the elevator doors open, the elevator was already about a hundred feet down, she tossed a grenade after it. She leaned back a one of the dislocated elevator wires came and cut a hole in the ceiling above her.
Fluttershy flew back to the parking garage, she disassembled her rifle, and packed everything back in to the case. Everything was fine, until two large, black military transport vehicles pulled up. Fluttershy froze.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?" one soldier got out of a truck, followed by six more.
"Oh, me, I'm just enjoying the view," Fluttershy said.
"What's in the bag?" the soldier asked, approaching Fluttershy.
The soldier took the bag, and when he turned around, Fluttershy grabbed his pistol, held him by the neck, and started shooting.In an instant, three soldiers were dead, the other three were shooting up the soldier Fluttershy had grabbed.
'Out of ammo,' she thought, dropping the soldier when the three reloaded, she lunged at them.
Fluttershy pulled out her machete in mid flight, she was smart to plan for even the least likely of events, such as this. She landed on one of the soldiers and implanted her machete in to his neck, which killed him later by asphyxiation, since it cut his windpipe, he choked on his own blood.
The other two hesitated and gasped, Perfect. Fluttershy ran by one, her machete leaving a 4 inch deep ash in his flank, and now for the final one. Fluttershy was hit with a bullet, it hit her shoulder, but she lunged, stabbing the soldier through the heart. he collapsed i a heap, and she walked four feet.
it all went black, she had been hit with a tranquilizer dart.
She awoke in the office floor she had just shot up, she was tied to a chair, in front of her stood Applejack, she had a baseball bat in her hooves.
"Who are you?" Applejack asked, touching Fluttershy's chin with the bat.
"Fluttershy," Fluttershy struggled with the chair, her wings were free, she could fly if she wanted.
"Why are you trying to kill me?" Applejack asked.
"Orders, your a traitor," with that, Fluttershy rose up and fell, smashing the chair, allowing her to get free.
Applejack swung the bat, she missed Fluttershy by mere inches, Fluttershy used the ropes that were tied to her to garrote Applejack. Applejack struggled, and bucked, but she was no match, she fell unconscious. Fluttershy grabbed her unconscious body to the window, and tossed it over.
Down it went, twelve stories, Fluttershy closed her eyes, just like she did with her friend, she heard a scream, and then a thud, the sound of Applejack dead, music to her ears. Her second job was complete. She placed her suitcase in her saddlebag, and she started flying back to Canterlot, but she encountered ore storms, which forced her to fly very high this time.
She reached Canterlot in record time for herself, three and a half hours. She flew straight in to Nightmare's court, and Nightmare stood there, looking surprised.
"Nightmare?" Fluttershy asked
"Yes, how many did you kill?' Nightmare asked, as she always did.
"Ten workers, six soldiers, and the CEO," Fluttershy said in a bragging tone.
"Are you positive about the CEO?" Nightmare asked.
"i strangled her and threw her out of a window, I'm sure," Fluttershy said.
"You were supposed to shoot her," Nightmare said angrily.
"I did, and most of the others, but she shot back and I was captured, but she is dead," Fluttershy said.
"Most?' Nightmare asked.
"Well, i stabbed four soldiers," Fluttershy said, pulling out her machete.
Applejack was being strangled, but she felt blood trickle down her neck, the next thing she knew, she was being dragged. Then she was falling, she was still conscious, but barely, she move herself and landed on a store's awning, she bounced into a truck full of bananas, which saved her life.
She wasn't able to walk for a minute, and when she did, a woman screamed, and she stumbled, and fell into a crowd of people, she fell unconscious. She woke again in a hospital room, there were three people there, Big macintosh, BraeBurn, and Caramel.
"We're going to Everfree," Applejack said, they all nodded.
And go to the rebels they did, Fluttershy only killed sixteen that day, and alas, that extra one would change the future...
Fluttershy didn't sleep, the bullet wound kept her awake, she cleaned her weapons, all of them. Nightmare had sensed that Fluttershy was awake, so she summoned her. Fluttershy hesitated, she finally came down three minutes later.
"Flutter, don't hesitate again!" Nightmare yelled, Fluttershy expected it.
"What's my job?" Fluttershy asked, changing the subject.
"We suspect that the captain of the Shadowbolts has been giving away secret military information to the rebels," Nightmare said angrily.
"How do I kill her?" Fluttershy asked, looking back up at Nightmare.
"Be creative, she needs to suffer, she will be here for a show tomorrow," Nightmare said.
"I have an idea," Fluttershy said.
Fluttershy walked back up to her study, she opened a book on explosives, she turned to the incendiary section. She was looking for a way to use speed to ignite incendiary powder.
"Duh, friction," Fluttershy said aloud, she found an extra Shadowbolts costume in Rainbows size, placed 30 grams, enough to burn down the castle, of powder in the costume, she put special detonators right below the wing holes, and packets of 3 grams near them, the fire would burn the costume and the Captain inside it.
Fluttershy would bring her the new costume, saying it was to increase speed, and make a new trick. When the Captain of the ShadowBolts flapped her wings enough, the costume would burst in to flames, and she would burn and fall to the earth. The plan was perfect, she and Nightmare could both watch it happen.
The next morning rolled around, and Fluttershy met the Captain.
"Hello Fluttershy, name's Rainbow Dash," Rainbow Dash said, she had a painted black mane.
"What'cha got there?" Rainbow asked, pointing to the suit.
"Oh, it's a suit from the Princess, it does a trick when you fly really fast," Fluttershy hid a smirk.
"Cool, send a thanks form me," Rainbow said, walking off with the suit.
Fluttershy walked to Nightmare's chamber.
"What are you doing here, you're supposed to be working," Nightmare said.
"Let's go see the ShadowBolts," Fluttershy said smiling.
Nightmare agreed, and they sat in the royal section of the stadium. The six Shadowbolts lined up, Rainbow in the middle, they took off, the first half of the show was quite good actually, many tricks and aerobatic maneuvers. The second half was better, that black maned captain soared over the crowd, a trail of smoke behind her, the crowd was cheering, they thought it was a trick.
Nightmare looked at Fluttershy, who was smiling.
The first hints of flames appeared, and whoosh, the costume was burning, that Shadowbolt inside it, she was still flying, the crowd was cheering louder than ever, until the large packets of powder ignited. The Shadowbolt exploded into flames, coming crashing into the hard dirt, flames consuming her body.
The crowd was going insane, ponies were screaming, and ponies were running, everypony was in a panic. And the two loved it.
"Well Fluttershy, that was entertaining," Nightmare said, looking back down at Fluttershy.
"Thank you," Fluttershy said.
"She's dead, and she suffered, you can get a week off if you want," Nightmare really enjoyed the show, and she was proud of her assassin.
"Two days, then I want my next job," Fluttershy said plainly.
Nightmare agreed, and the two walked back to the castle, the screams of the crowd behind them, growing quieter.
"I knew she was going to try and kill me," Rainbow said, zooming towards Everfree.
Rainbow had sent her replacement to fly that day, and she watched as the Bolt had caught fire, and died. She was zooming at close to 500mph towards the rebel mainstay, led by Prince, well former Prince BlueBlood.
Rainbow reached her destination, the seven thousand rebels who were there were shocked to see a Shadowbolt there, but most of them knew her. They were shocked because, she had come, she never came there, only in times of absolute desperation. She ran to the castle, she saw the Dean of Magical institutes in Canterlot there, she apparently had a run in with the assassin too.
"Twilight Sparkle, that was her name," Rainbow thought.
"Did you try to be killed too," Twilight said to Rainbow.
"Yes, my double burned to death," Rainbow said sadly.
"I'm about to see BlueBlood, there have been three attacks, me, you, and the CEO of the Apple corporation, all by the same assassin," Twilight said.
The doors to BlueBlood's office opened, and the two went inside. They sat down in chairs across form BlueBlood, BlueBlood had changed, he cared more for other then himself now, and he is more rugged than royal. His coat was no longer white, but a dull grey color.
"What happened to both of you?" Blueblood asked.
"i had an assassin attack me, she killed thirty six of my followers, she blew up my office building," Twilight said.
"I'm sorry," Blueblood said, "And you?"
"My double burned to death in a suit the assassin made for me," Rainbow said.
"We will get revenge.." Blueblood said, slamming his hoof on the desk.
"How?" Twilight asked.
"We are going to Canterlot in three weeks," BlueBlood said.
"Three weeks?" Rainbow said.
"That is when we run out of food, we have no choice," Blueblood.
The two day break was nightmarish for Fluttershy, she had lost the rush from her killings, and she was tired all the time, there was nothing to do, so she cleaned her weapons, twice, and she went to the shooting range. She read up on some new ammunition she would be getting soon, anti-tank incendiary, exclusive for her .50 cal rifle.
The morning of her third morning, she rolled lazily out of bed, and she turned off her alarm. not even a minute later, she was summoned. This time, she didn't hesitate to respond, she needed the rush again. She walked quickly down stairs, hoping that her next rush would not be far off.
"Fluttershy, I have your next target," Nightmare said looking at a paper.
"Who is it?" Fluttershy asked, she was out of energy.
"Her name is Pinkie Pie, she owns a large bakery in Trottingham, she delivers food to all royalty in the world, but she also sends large amounts of food to the rebels, your base point is 7,500 feet from her bakery, this is a sniper mission," Nightmare said, handing Fluttershy a .50 caliber rifle.
"What does she look like?" Fluttershy asked, taking the rifle.
"She is a pink mare with a pink mane," Nightmare said.
"How will I get there, I can't just lug this there," Fluttershy said, the rifle gave her some energy.
"An unmarked chariot will take you to the building's roof, form there, you will set up and have 5 minutes to line the shot," Nightmare said.
"When?" Fluttershy asked.
"Now," Nightmare said, leading Fluttershy to the chariot, which had two unarmored pegasus guards leading it.
Fluttershy climbed in to the cart, placing her rifle in the side of it, she checked the operations manual for it, it was a wire led bullet, u to 7,600 feet, the bullet could be steered up to 100 feet at that range. For most of the ride, Fluttershy checked the alignment of the sights, and the ammunition, one bullet per clip. One bullet is all she would need.
The chariot finally arrived at the roof of the building she would be firing from, the time was 11:55 a.m, she had four minutes. She jumped out of the chariot, adn set up her position, fastening the rifle to the building, to lower kick.
She lined up the sights, the pink pony was in her sights, the bullet would take three seconds to reach its target, a new record for Fluttershy.
11:59 a.m. Time to shoot. She had one shot.
Fluttershy pulled the trigger, the whole set-up shook, the guards recoiled. Fluttershy made sure that the bullet was going to its target, the bullet hit the front window, shattered it and hit a pink pony square in the head, and she exploded, blood sprayed all over the customers.
"Success," Fluttershy said, she moved away from the rifle, unlatching it from the building.
She and the guards took the whole set up and attached three pounds of C4 charges to it, no evidence could be left, except the rifle, which they took with them. About a minute after they took off, the building was still in sight, and Fluttershy detonated the charges, they exploded, glass three floors down shattered.
All in all, this was a successful mission, she had killed the pink pony, there was no evidence left, adn she had that rush again. The sound of tat rifle shot had relaxed her.
They flew quickly, hoping to reach the Palace before the news would play the story. If they didn't, Fluttershy would have little to report, well not much that the news hadn't already said. They did, because when Fluttershy ran in, the rifle across her back, the story was up next.
"I hear you killed her," Nightmare said, turning off the television.
"Head shot," Fluttershy smiled.
"Good, good," Nightmare said, looking out the window at her busy city.
"Are we going to watch the report?" Fluttershy asked.
"Okay, we will," Nightmare turned on the television.
"A city is terrified tonight, a sniper took the life of a baker in our city, it seems to no connections, who ever did this, he will face his punishment," the reporter said.
"She just handed me a box of cookies, and she exploded," a witness was crying, "she-she was young, I can't believe anypony would do this, it was horrible,"
"Authorities have released the last name of the victim, the last name was Pie," the reporter said, Nightmare turned off the television.
"Good job Fluttershy," Nightmare said.
Fluttershy nodded and went up to her study and fell asleep, that day had not been exhausting, but killing all of these innocent people, it was starting to wear on hr after 20 years of violence;
"Mom, want me to sell the order of cookies for you?" Pinkie's daughter, Cherry, asked.
"Yes, and take their money first," Pinkie said.
"Okay," Cherry said, she walked out, the box of cookies was hard to lift, she was just a little filly after all.
Cherry Pie was 9 years old, she had just gotten her cutie mark, it was a cherry pie, she was a baker. Pinkie had been so proud of her, and this was her second sale.
"That's 24 bits ma'am," Cherry said.
"Here you go little one," the woman handed her 24 bits, and took the cookies.
"Thank you, come aga--" Cherry was stopped by the window shattering, and she was hit with a large bullet, it killed her instantly.
Pinkie was in the kitchen when the bullet hit her daughter, and she heard screams, she ran in to the main section, she saw her daughter, laying dead on the floor, bleeding, no life left in her.
"Okay, can everyone please leave," Pinkie said crying, they all cleared out of the bakery.
Pinkie held her daughter, so young, and she had so much potential, why couldn't it have been her, not her daughter, her daughter didn't do anything wrong, it was her, she had sent food to rebels, and now she had nothing to lose, but she had everything to gain.
Pinkie was going to Everfree....and she would get revenge.....
Fluttershy woke up an hour early, she decided to walk down stairs, she looked around, she went to the gardens, they were boring, so she went back to the castle and waited. Twenty-five minutes later, Nightmare arrived, she was surprised to see Fluttershy up so early, especially since she had a mission yesterday.
"Well, Fluttershy, I have your new target, her name is Rarity, she is a highly regarded fashion designer, she supplies Nobles with clothes, but she has been sending blankets to rebels, that we know for sure, this time, your job is to get information out of her, and then kill her," Nightmare said.
"Description?" Fluttershy asked.
"She is a white unicorn, with a purple mane, she commonly styles it like this," Nightmare showed her a picture.
"Where is she?" Fluttershy asked.
"Two blocks away, she works in Hoity Toity's boutique," Nightmare said.
"Okay," Fluttershy walked out of the room, the conversation had not ended, but Fluttershy needed the rush again.
Fluttershy walked down the street, she passed some burned buildings, some criminals, she could recognize how they looked, even the well dressed ones. Fluttershy walked in front of the boutique, she opened the door.
"Welcome to Hoity Toity's boutique, I am Rarity, do you need anything?" Rarity asked.
"No, I'm quite fine," Fluttershy said,trying not to sound rude, she didn't want to attract attention. She headed over to a wire coat hanger rack, she grabbed a coat hanger, and snapped it. She bent the part she kept in to a needle like sword, it had cross shape to it.
"Excuse me, what are you..." Fluttershy turned around and stabbed Hoity Toity, she stabbed him in the chest, and kicked him down.
Rarity screamed, and ran, but Fluttershy was close behind her, they ran all around the store, knocking over clothe racks, Fluttershy used her wings and caught up with Rarity.
"Hold still," Fluttershy punched Rarity in the face, knocking her out.
Fluttershy dragged an unconscious Rarity in to the back room, and she closed the door. Fluttershy tied Rarity to a chair, she walked out of the back room and closed the store. Fluttershy grabbed the baseball bat from behind the counter, she walked back to Rarity.
"Wake up!" Rarity woke up as a surge of pain went through her arm.
"What do you want?" Rarity panted.
"Your knowledge, where are the rebels?" Fluttershy yelled.
"I don't know!" Rarity screamed back, Fluttershy broke her right hind leg with the bat.
"You even think about using magic, I will break that horn with my teeth!" Fluttershy yelled, "Where are they?"
"I, I don't know!" Rarity yelled, Fluttershy hit her broken leg again.
"You don't tell me, I will cut all of your legs off!" Fluttershy yelled, she was good at getting info.
"BUCK YOU, I don't know!" Rarity said, Fluttershy slammed her leg once more, this time harder than both times before combined.
"Where are they?" Fluttershy yelled.
"They're, they're in the Everfree forest," Fluttershy was satisfied, she untied Rarity's broken le, and tied a rope around her neck, all the while, Rarity was crying.
All the sudden, Fluttershy heard explosions outside, the door was kicked open, and twilight and Rainbow appeared.
"You!" All three of them yelled at each other.
"How are you alive?" Fluttershy asked loudly.
"I didn't wear the suit, my double did," Rainbow said.
"I teleported, like this," Twilight grabbed Rarity and Rainbow and they disappeared.
"No, no, no, Nightmare will kill me," Fluttershy was panicked, she took off, she headed towards the royal gates, she flew through them, and right in front of Nightmare.
"Fluttershy!" Nightmare was surprised.
"Nightmare, they disappeared, they took Rarity!" Fluttershy said desperately.
Nightmare shot a spell at Fluttershy, she flew backwards thirty feet,land on the floor, sliding a few feet.
"You failure, you shall feel pain like never before!!" Nightmare yelled, she threw Fluttershy through a window with the next spell, they were on the third floor.
Fluttershy flew through the window and landed in the labyrinth, the first hedge breaking her fall. Nightmare jumped out of the broken window, and she lifted Fluttershy again. This time she was thrown against a wall.
"Please, I have information..." Fluttershy said right as Nightmare was about to kill her.
"What is it?'" Nightmare levitated Fluttershy at head level.
"They're in the Everfree," Fluttershy passed out.
Fluttershy awoke to the sounds of ten thousand soldiers marching, she walked out of her room, she walked down stairs to the third floor, the window was still broken, which should've already been fixed. She found Nightmare on the balcony, looking over soldiers, and weaponry.
"Nightmare," Fluttershy said weakly.
"Isn't it beautiful," Nightmare said, "the rebels will be gone in three weeks."
":You're not mad at me," Fluttershy was confused, Nightmare had tried to kill he a day ago, but now it was like they were normal.
"You gave me that information, and now they are going to all die," Nightmare laughed.
Fluttershy attempted to laugh, but she hurt too much, and for the first time ever, she was not feeling very loyal to Nightmare.
"Fluttershy, I have one final mission, after that, you're free, you never have to come back," Nightmare said.
"What is it?" Fluttershy asked.
"A scientist has defected, and we need him dead, you may use what ever you want," Nightmare said.
They reappeared in front of Blueblood, he was horrified by what he saw, he leg was near liquid, she was sent to the medics. Rarity was in horrible pain, she wanted to die, the doctors used magic and were able to regrow the bone, but she was not allowed to use her leg for a week, so they gave her a wheel chair.
The three got to know each other, and they talked for the week that Rarity was in the hospital and in the common areas, then they all went to the planning. Everypony was a soldier, everypony took training courses, and everypony looked out for each other.
"Come on, the Princess is on to me, we have to leave now," Doctor Whooves said to his assistant.
"It's all packed, let's go!" his assistant said, jumping in to the pilot's seat of the helicopter.
Doctor Hooves was a defected scientist, he was heading to the Everfree fort, but the Princess had found out, so he was running for his life.
"Go, go, go!" Doctor Hooves said as he jumped in tot the helicopter.
The helicopter took off, it raised higher, at around 100 feet, bullets were shattering the windshield, the Princess had sent an assassin.
"Sir, take her for a second," his assistant said as he gave the stick to Doctor Hooves.
"What are you doing?" Doctor Hooves asked, panicking.
His assistant pulled out an automatic rifle, and fired in three round bursts, the bullets sprayed around the assassin, making her duck for cover behind a nearby truck. He took the controls back and handed Hooves the rifle.
"That was close," Fluttershy said aloud as she moved the dead driver from the seat of the truck.
Fluttershy started pursuing the helicopter, both of them gaining speed, eventually, the helicopter started to slow down. It turned, and he gunner fired thirty rounds in to Fluttershy's vehicle. The windshield shattered, and the seat beside her was shot up, good thing that gunner wasn't accurate.
"Oh hay!" Fluttershy yelled as a rocket cam at her, it hit the bed of her truck, and it ripped off the roof of the cab.
"Alright, this is taking too long!" Fluttershy yelled, she raised a pistol, and fired three shots, one of which hit the gunner.
Blood exploded all over the inside of the copter, his assistant was hit, the assassin claimed his life with a shot to the chest. The rocket launcher he had fell out of the side. Doctor surged the helicopter forward, and when the assassin had not been expecting it, he spun the copter, and fired the automatic rifle out of the side, hitting the engine, the truck caught on fire.
"Boom," he said, lurching the helicopter forward again, his assistant falling out of the side.
Doctor Whooves kept the helicopter steady, even though it was his third time flying it.
The bullets hit the tuck's engine, it exploded in to flames, Fluttershy grabbed the javelin, and she bailed out.She rolled on the highway, finally stopping, she raised the Javelin missile launcher, and got the helicopter in sight, she fired the Javelin, the rocket popping out then igniting, it trailed after the helicopter.
"Head shot," Fluttershy said quietly as the rocket hit the helicopters blades, they exploded, the helicopter fell out of the sky, it landed with a huge explosion.
Fluttershy went over to the crash site, she looked inside the helicopter, there was the scientist, laying there, she took her pistol, and she shot him three times, shooting the rest of the clip until it went click.
This, this was her confirmed kill, she killed him, right here, right now, she grabbed his rifle, and started walking.
She walked and walked, not able to use her car, she was walking when she saw another car drive by, only the government used motor vehicles, and something was not right. The car slammed on it's brakes, did a half J turn, and one of the windows rolled down, out popped a nine millimeter hand gun.
"No.."Fluttershy breathed as she dove behind a pile of rocks.
The handgun popped out sixteen shells, more than she thought it could, the bullets broke up the rocks around her, the gun stopped firing, and she popped out, firing the rifle.
pop pop pop pop pop, pop pop pop pop pop, thump! Fluttershy shot two bursts of five, adn then she shot the grenade launcher.
The car's driver was killed, and so was the gunner, the grenade was a dud, but it crushed the skull of the gunner.Fluttershy ran to the car, grabbing the two guns, and throwing the bodies out of the car, she started driving away form Canterlot.
"I knew it, the Princess is going ot kill me, so I need to get to Everfree, no matter the consequences," Fluttershy said aloud.
Fluttershy turned on the radio, and turned it to the news station, the radio buzzed,
"Warning, A killer who is wanted for more than 75 murders, including the Dean of the magical institutes, the CEO of the Apple corporation, and the ShadowBolts captain, she is a Blonde colored mare with a faded pink mane, her cutie mark is a butterfly," the radio host said.
Fluttershy slammed on the gas pedal, she was zooming a 150 mph, the car was speeding past cops, who started chasing her.
"The police are in pursuit," the reporter said.
Ten cops were behind her, they were in cars too, the sirens were buzzing, and Fluttershy could hear bullets hitting the bullet-proof glass on the back windshield, she rolled up all of the windows hoping that they were all bulletproof. Fluttershy was on the outskirts of Canterlot when a cop pulled up beside her, he raised a gun and fired, her window shattered.
"Oh hay no," Fluttershy raised the rifle, she shot at the cop car's gas cap, the bullet hit the perfect spot, and a jet of flame exploded out of the tank, and the car exploded in to flames, doing a flip and crashing in to another car.
Another police car pulled up, this time, there were two officers, and one had an automatic weapon, the officer peppered the back seat, none of the windows broke. Fluttershy took the pistol, and fired two shots, one bullet hit the gunner in the jaw, the other hit the front left tire.
Most of the cops had backed off, they were out of their jurisdiction, but two elite officers remained, one of them hed an extra officer, who was shooting at Fluttershy's tires, which would not bust, they were solid filled.
Fluttershy leaned out the window with the automatic rifle, and shot the first cop car, which had one cop in it, she shot the cop in the chest. the car veered off the road and slammed in to a house.
The last cops were now 50 feet behind Fluttershy, she slammed on the brakes, they didn't have time to react, they slammed in to Fluttershy's car, which fared quite well, but the cops were thrown in to Fluttershy's car, she turned around and shot them both five times.
She cleared their bodies out, and continued driving, just as fast, towards the Everfree fort.
Fluttershy pulled up in the car. She walked towards the old castle, all of the residents were silent. She passed them all, they were hidden, but she could see through their camouflage.She walked right through the castle gates, she pulled out her pistol, but she kept her hoof off of the trigger.
"I need to see BlueBlood,' Fluttershy told the cross eyed guard.
"No, " She said.
"Please," Fluttershy pointed the pistol at the pony's head.
The guard pointed a hoof towards a door and Fluttershy entered. To her shock, Applejack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were all sitting there. Blueblood noticed her first.
"I wondered how long it would be before we saw you," he said, the five ponies looked around, looks of anger on their faces, especially Pinkie Pie.
"I know things that would help you," Fluttershy said, gripping her pistol, ready for a fight.
"Why should we listen to you, you killed my daughter," Pinkie Pie said coldly.
"I can answer that," BlueBlood said, turning on the radio.
"The fugitive we talked about earlier has just killed twelve royal police officers, I repeat she has escaped, lock your doors tonigh-" Blueblood turned off the radio before the reporter could finish.
"What do you know?" twilight asked.
"Ten thousand soldiers will be here in ten days, and she knows who narked," Fluttershy looked towards Rarity.
"That is uncanny, we are leaving in ten days,' Blueblood said.
"Barricade Blueblood, not attack," Fluttershy said.
"Why the sudden change of heart?" Rarity asked.
"i killed Doctor Whooves, i know it did, I shot down his helicopter, and I shot him three times, then Nightmare sent twenty people to kill me," Fluttershy exaggerated a bit, it was more like fifteen, including the cops.
"You killed Whooves,' BlueBlood said, he was shocked.
"It was my last job," Fluttershy shrugged.
"He was our best scientist, ugh, if you hadn't given us that information, you'd be dead now," BlueBlood raised a pistol, Fluttershy responded with her own.
"Really?" Fluttershy said, lowering her pistol, Blueblood did the same.
"I need to send a letter to Nightmare, anyone got some paper?" Fluttershy asked, some paper appeared before her, along with a pencil.
Dear Nightmare,
I'm with the rebels, and we're going to fight, and we're going to win, and I am personally going to remove your heart from your body, and I have one more thing to say, Go Buck yourself
"Princess, you have a letter from Fluttershy," a guard said, walking in to the chamber.
"Let me see it," the guard handed the letter and left the chamber.
Nightmare read the letter and at the end 'Go buck yourself' she laughed, she would kill every rebel, and wait for Fluttershy, she would remove Fluttershy's body parts one by one.
"Attention all of yo, we know where all of the rebels are located, they are in my old castle, inside the Everfree forest, there numbers are equal to seven thousand, your commanders will brief you quickly," Nightmare said to her ten thousand men.
Nightmare walked back to the castle, she would be joining he men in battle, that way, she could kill Fluttershy by herself. Fluttershy thinks she can win, but Nightmare is very confident, she outnumbers their army, and they are running out of supplies, now that all of their suppliers have been destroyed.
"Princess, when do we march?" a captain asked.
"Ten hours," Nightmare said coldly.
"Roger that," the captain said, he walked back to his men.
Nightmare walked deep in to the castle, she was going to go visit the secret chasms of the archives, where the darkest secrets were kept. She reached the door, but it would not open, the magical lock on it could only be opened by two ponies, Twilight, and Celestia. Nightmare creamed and shot an explosive spell at the door, she collapsed the whole section of the room.
"Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy walked over towards Pinkie.
"What do you want?" Pinkie said coldly.
"I'm sorry," Fluttershy said, this was the first real remorse she had ever felt.
"Saying your sorry won't bring Cherry back," Pinkie said, she was crying now.
"I didn't mean to kill her," Fluttershy said.
"I know, and I wish you would have killed me," Pinkie said, she was looking at a picture of cherry the day she got her cutie mark.
"Pinkie, I have lost family, I know what it..." Fluttershy was back hoofed.
"NO, YOU DON'T, SHE WAS MY DAUGHTER, AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!!" Pinkie yelled.
"Pinkie," Fluttershy was full of regret now.
"Go away, just, go away," Pinkie said.
"I'm trying to.." Fluttershy said, but stopped whe Pinkie turned around, her eyes were pouring tears.
Fluttershy left that room, and she closed the door lightly, she decided to head and talk to Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow, are you in here?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yeah, over here," Rainbow was looking out the window.
"I'm sorry about your double, can you forgive me?" Fluttershy said.
"That's okay, what do you think, she was one of my best friends, and her name was Silver lining, you let her burn, what kind of pony lets another pony burn to death," Rainbow was crying heavily.
"I did not mean to kill her, I I just wanted to get out," Fluttershy aid, tears forming in her own eyes, emotions built up over twenty years are now flowing out.
"Get out of what?" Rainbow looked over at Fluttershy.
"Nightmare's grip, she trained me for six years, and I have been nearly killed twice by ehr, I want to kill her!" Fluttershy yelled the ending, which replaced her sorrow with hatred.
"Who did you lose?" Rainbow asked.
"What?" Fluttershy was confused.
"Who did you lose, you know, died?" Rainbow half asked/said.
"I, I lost my family, they disowned me when I was a filly, that's when i go in to violence," Fluttershy said, her voice low.
"I think you should go," Rainbow said.
"Alright," Fluttershy understood, she had heard things about Rainbow's past.
"Soldiers, it is time to head towards Everfree, MARCH!!" Nightmare yelled, sections of troops, each section containing 400 soldiers, 20 by 20, marched towards Everfree, there were 25 sections of soldiers, plus fifty royal guards.
Nightmare pondered her thoughts on how she would kill Fluttershy, or if she would torture her for a thousand years. She followed her soldiers, all ten thousand marching in unison, it was a beautiful sound.
Nightmare's troops weer passing through the outskirts of Canterlot, they passed the downed helicopter, wiht Doctor Whooves body still in it. Nightmare laughed at the sight of the dead stallion. Her first enemy of the day was dead, now only seven thousand and one to go.
"Ma'am, we will be in Ponyville in six hours, we then have one week to prepare for the invasion," her general said.
"Excellent," Nightmare said, the next week would be the best of her life, other than killing Celestia that is.
Her troops passed by the broken up police cars, some of the officer were still laying there, some dead, few alive. Nightmare let them die, they were failures, they had not apprehended Fluttershy.
"Blueblood!" a filly burst in, she was probably about 8 years old.
"Yes, little one?' Blueblood asked.
"Nightmares troops, they're in Ponyville!" she screamed.
Blueblood's face lost most of the color it had, even though it was mainly white, he drained of all energy.
"Get Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, and Pinkie!" he said loudly.
"Yes sir," the filly ran out of his office.
The filly ran all over the castle, but found everypony but Fluttershy, she was hiding somewhere.
"Where is Fluttershy?" Blueblood asked.
"Nopony knows," Applejack said.
Just then, Fluttershy walked in and placed the helmet and patch of a royal guard on his desk, the helmet had a huge bullet hole in it. She had shot the guard an hour earlier.
"Royal scout, wasn't hard to kill, they're in Ponyville, but the main army hasn't arrived yet," Fluttershy said.
"Exactly, they're in Ponyville, we've got to prepare for an invasion,' BlueBlood said.
"How would you know that?" Blueblood asked, looking at Fluttershy.
"It was thirteen when I arrived yesterday, and minus one day," Fluttershy didn't want to make him too mad.
"We have thirteen days," Blueblood reassured himself.
"Why'd you get us in here?" Pinkie asked.
"Well, you five were my best contributors," he gestured the everypony but Fluttershy, "and you've got the most military experience," he pointed a hoof to Fluttershy.
"So..." Fluttershy started, but Blueblood interrupted her.
"I need you to train seven thousand ponies in ten days," Blueblood said.
"Why ten days?" Fluttershy asked, they had thirteen.
"We need to fortify, if we don't, training won't matter, we'll all die," Blueblood said coldly.
"Alright, I can't train all of them at once," Fluttershy said.
"Can you do 1,000 at once, and do seven, three hour classes?" Blueblood asked.
"But she'll get only three hours of sleep!" Rarity interjected.
"I can, when do I start?" Fluttershy asked.
"Now, we're running out of time!" Blueblood stressed.
Fluttershy walked out of the office and asked the front desk mare where she could find 1,000 ponies at once.
"Well, there are seven districts, the first and last have 500 and 1500, but the other five have 1,000 even," she said.
Fluttershy headed off to district one, it took some convincing, but she got them and 500 of district two to come to training. She was able to get them all to fit in the castle yard, she introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Fluttershy, and I will be training you, since we're going to be invaded in thirteen days, you'll get thirty hours of training," Fluttershy said in to the microphone.
For many of these ponies, this was the first news on the fact they'd be invaded, and for some others, it was old news.
"Why are you training us?' one of the first ponies asked.
"I have more experience than the others," Fluttershy said.
"And what was your 'experience'?" the same pony asked.
"I was Nightmares assassin," Fluttershy said, causing massive amounts of yelling from the crowd.
"Why are you here?" a different pony asked.
Fluttershy told them the story, with the worst details, on how she'd killed Pinkie's daughter, those two dozen officers, those thirty-six students, and many guards and people who had tried to stop her. Her story had taken an hour. She quieted them all, they had ten things t learn.
Weapons
Stealth
Camouflage
Armor weaknesses
Communication
Explosives
Morale
Rations
Ammunition types
Victory
Fluttershy decided to teach one a day, but that first class got a iittle less on explosives training, that was the subject Fluttershy covered with the day one classes. She really only explained what to do when a grenade lands near a pony.
"Derpy?" Rainbow said, touching the guard's shoulder.
"Oh, hi Rainbow!" Derpy said, surprised.
"BlueBlood gave me this card," Rainbow handed it to Derpy.
Derpy said nothing, but led Rainbow down multiple corridors, the last one they went down had a large, bolted door at the end of it. Derpy slid the card in it, and the door opened, the room was about 75 feet long, but was filled with rows of rifles, pistols, machine guns, rockets, and some other guns.
"The card is for three guns," Derpy said, being serious.
Rainbow went for a machine gun first, and then picked two rifles, mainly because there was only one pegasus stallion who could lift it for an extended amount of time. Rainbow walked out of the room, and Derpy sealed it, keeping the card. Rainbow carried all of the weapons out to the second district, where she found fifteen pegasi, including the stallion, Featherbrain was his nickname, mainly because he was clumsy.
Rainbow led the pegasi up to some sturdy clouds, and they morphed the clouds in to bunkers, even though the stallion had to hold the machine gun, usually a bunker would hold it. The other two armed pegasi were in a bunker opposite from him, when the guards walked under theirs, Featherbrain would fire, and when thee guards were under Featherbrain, the other two would fire.
"Alright, you are the first defense, it has been an honor to serve by you, Rainbow flew off, the three pegasi were confused, the enemy didn't arrive for at least ten days, they flew back to the castle.
Twilight ran to district D, and she recruited ten unicorns, they ran to a point one mile in front of the castle, they dug a trench, and they put punji pits, all scattered, it would scare the enemy enough to halt them for a while.
After an hour of trench digging, and punji planting, Twilight called them all in.
"You ten will be the only ground defense for a mile, when you're over run, fight, don't retreat, this is a death sentence, but you remember what Celestia's final words were?" Twilight said, everypony shook their heads.
"Her last words were, Alas, I am defeated, but I shall not lose, my followers shall not lose, and their followers as well," Twilight was near to crying.
"In seven days, you will be put out here, and you will wait for the enemy," twilight said to them as they walked back with the unicorns.
Applejack ran to her family, everypony was there, except for Granny Smith, who was with the elderly in District 8.
"Listen up," Applejack said, "I am going to lead all eight of you in battle," she looked at Caramel, Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Apple Fritter, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious.
"When?" Apple Bloom asked, she was getting older, she was sixteen now, she'd gotten her cutie mark, it was an Apple tree.
"Thirteen days," Applejack said coldly.
"So, where do we meet in thirteen days?' Apple Fritter asked.
"Here, and you need to go to double classes from Fluttershy," Applejack wanted them to all survive, she knew itmight not happen, but she wanted it.
"Applejack, what battle are we talking about?" Big Macintosh asked.
"We're being invaded by Nightmare," Applejack saying Nightmare made everypony flinch.
"Alright Pinkie, we have to make uniforms for the pony's squad, any ideas?" Rarity asked.
"Well, we could do a bandoleer type thing with a patch for squad on it," Pinkie said, it was a good idea, but they kept on thinking.
"I have an idea!" Rarity gasped, "What if we take their existing clothes, and sew their name and squad on it?"
"That is a good idea,' Pinkie said sadly, they started to gather clothing from everypony.
"So, we'll sew a patch that has their name on the inside, and their squad number patch on the outside," Rarity continued, "Pinkie, we have to sew 350 each for ten days straight, this is going to be hard,"
"It will be worth it," Pinkie said, following Rarity.
"Should I fight or lead?" Blueblood said to himself, pacing his office.
The odds of survival were slim for both, but he was a Prince, not a fighter, if he could just do...
"Prince, a new report came in, we have seven days now," his assistant said, poking his head through the doors.
"That settles it, I will fight!" Blueblood said loudly.
Blueblood would fight at the first line of defenses,he would lay down his life to save the lives of any ponies, but these ones especially. They were the last ones who would fight for Celestia.
"Princess Nightmare, we have killed all of the town's spies," a guard said, he pointed to a firing squad, in front of them, ten dead ponies, including Mrs. Cake.
"Excellent, now we can continue early, I will have that castle burning in seven days," Nightmare said, laughing evilly.
Her ten thousand soldiers had gained three volunteers, all of which were flag carriers now. They would crush the rebels, no matter how many they lost, they had everything on their side, money, power, numbers.
Fluttershy had just finished day one of training, she was so exhausted, she swore she saw multiple ponies two times that day. She was glad to get the three hour of sleep that she got. For once, her body didn't crave the rush of murder, but it craved something different.
The day started early for Fluttershy and one thousand others, she had her first training session for day two, Weapons, probably the most important lesson, at 3 a.m. She walked down stairs, her class was starting to arrive, many of them talking and wondering about what they would learn about.
"Alright, today's lesson is on weapons, being class one, you will all use rifles, like this," Fluttershy held up her life saving automatic rifle.
She took people one hundred at a time, and showed them how to hold it, and occasionally, how to fire it, the gunshots continued all lesson long, and by the end, nopony in the palace was asleep. Fluttershy had to instruct them on aiming, reloading, and for some of the best, using the grenade launcher.
"Well, it is now five fifty six a.m., so this lesson is over, place your rifles over there," Fluttershy pointed to a section of the yard that had a rifles sign above it.
She only had two hundred out right now, so ponies rotated them. As the ponies were clearing out, and some were coming in at the same time, Prince Blueblood walked in.
"Fluttershy, I will be attending some of your classes, for two reasons, I want to see what you know, and I am fighting as well," Blueblood said.
"Alright, see that machine gun over there, go get it," Fluttershy told him.
Blueblood went and picked up the machine gun, and walked back with it over his shoulder.
"See that cinder block? Shoot it,' Fluttershy said.
"What, that one over there," Blueblood pointed to the one 75 feet away.
"Yes," Fluttershy said, getting slightly annoyed.
Blueblood laid the machine gun down, and aimed down the sights, and he fired for three seconds, sixty rounds, they dissolved. Blueblood didn't miss a shot. He rose up, the machine gun still in hand, everypony was looking.
"I didn't know you were good with a machine gun," Fluttershy was impressed.
"I was a gunner for the army for six years, I got some practice," Blueblood said.
"Well, that helps a lot, take about sixteen ponies, eight teams of two, can you teach them?" Fluttershy asked.
"No problem," Blueblood said, he picked sixteen earth ponies, including Big Macintosh and Caramel.
"Alright, take them to get their guns, and I have a secondary area outside of the castle, take them there," Fluttershy said, Blueblood nodded once.
Blueblood took the sixteen ponies out of the castle, and Fluttershy continued her lesson every three hours, she did the lesson again, and every nine, BlueBlood took more gunners..
Fluttershy was walking back up to her room, Applejack pulled her aside.
"Fluttershy, can you give my family some extra training, I don't want them to die," Applejack said quietly.
"I, I guess they could attend extra classes," Fluttershy said.
"Well, could you use them for demonstrations or something, they need the extra practice," Applejack said.
"I will, but I can't control your brother, or that Caramel person," Fluttershy said.
"What do you mean?" Applejack asked.
"Prince Blueblood is training them on machine guns," Fluttershy said, that seemed to perk Applejack up a bit.
"Good, we'll have a machine gun,' Applejack said, just to reassure herself.
"What?" What do you mean we'll?" Fluttershy asked, pinning Applejack against the wall.
"Blueblood told me to lead my family in battle," Applejack said, Fluttershy let her go.
"Oh," Fluttershy said, she was surprised, she thought that she commanded all.
Fluttershy left Applejack, and she walked to her room, her dreams filled with regret, why had she killed her father, and those hundred other ponies.
"Princes Nightmare, all of the men have been briefed, we can attack now, instead of six days," the general said.
"We will attack tomorrow, let the men get a good sleep, tomorrow we will be victorious," Nightmare said, looking at the full moon.
"Yes Princess," the general bowed, and trotted off.
Nightmare looked up in the sky, she swore she could see Celestia in the moon, she was dead, not banished though. Nightmare went to her tent, she looked at the layout of the enemy fortress, it bewildered her, how a thousand years ago, they had this, not even the new castle was this advanced.
"Prince Blueblood!!" a soldier was running towards Blueblood.
"What is it?" the prince was tired, he'd just trained for 18 hours straight.
"New reports, the enemy will be here tomorrow!" the soldier said panicking.
The Prince gasped, "Sound the alarm, put out the all call," B
"Yes sir!" the soldier ran off.
Blueblood ran as fast as her could, he ran up to Fluttershy's room, and he woke her.
"Fluttershy.." she looked up at Blueblood, but he was cut off by the inter communications system.
"Attention everypony, please come to the castle yard, the forces of Nightmare will be here in mere hours, all forward forces, please exit immediately,," the intercom buzzed, and Fluttershy's eyes widened.
"Blueblood! You have to go!" Fluttershy was already out of ehr bed.
"I know, but I am giving full military control, except for Applejack's soldiers," Blueblood said.
"Go then soldier," Fluttershy said, they both ran down the hallways, until they were in the near empty gun safe.
"Blueblood, grab that machine gun, and all the extra ammunition you can carry!" Fluttershy yelled.
Blueblood grabbed all he could, he saw the forward unicorns, and he followed them, each of them held either a pistol or a rifle. He followed them to the trench, and he jumped in, setting his machine gun up, getting surprised looks from the unicorns.
Back at the castle, Fluttershy was getting everypony to their positions, most of them had a rifle, but occasionally she'd see a machine gunner, or a rocketeer. Once all the guns and uniforms were handed out, the soldiers were distributed all along the castle top, and in the field that extended for about half a mile in front of the castle.
"Rainbow Dash, get your pegasi in to the clouds!" Fluttershy yelled, Rainbow saluted and pulled the three to their forward positions.
The whole plan was coming together, the rebels would win, and she would kill Nightmare.
That's when she heard the crackle of gunfire in the distance...
Prince Blueblood ordered all of the ponies to aim, he could hear the marching of the ten thousand soldier, and the rumble of trucks, he went in to survival mode. He heard the generals shouting orders, and finally, he saw the first soldiers.
"FIRE!!!" he screamed, the sound of his soldiers shooting their rifles was drowned out by the screams, and then return fire, of the enemy.
Prince Blueblood saw three of his ponies laying on their sides, bleeding to death, that made him angry, he didn't look down the sight of his machine gun, he jumped out of the trench, holding his machine gun, he dodged bullets, shooting his MG nonstop. He had been walking for thirty seconds when the first bullet hit him, he went down.
"Not today," Blueblood rose to the horror of his enemy, he continued firing, taking down more and more soldiers.
Blueblood was hit again, this time it ripped the top of his left ear off. He howled, and shot the machine gun at the enemy who shot him, the enemy was eaten alive by bullets, Blueblood was not stopping. His unicorns joined him in battle, the six who were left that is.
"You three, take that side!" he turned around and ordered three unicorns.
They obeyed, Blueblood had killed fifty soldiers, he looked over at the last three, just in time for a bullet to hit one, the mare went down, and laid still, bullets were still hitting her.
"She's already dead!" Blueblood yelled, his machine gun overheated and the barrel melted, he was down to a pistol.
The enemy soldiers shot at the last two, and they were literally ripped to shreds, a thousand bullets it seemed, had hit them. It was the Prince and three ponies vs. ten thousand. the three ponies ran back to the trench, and they laid down covering fire o allow Blueblood to get back.
"Sir, we can handle this, you go back and warn..." the unicorn was shot, her head exploded in his face, he grabbed two rifles, leaving.
Blueblood walked backwards, shooting as many rounds off as her could, he finally ran out and broke into a run. He heard an explosion behind him, he looked, the two ponies that were left, were running around, they were burning. He ran past his citizens, they were scared, blood was seeping from his body, in multiple places at that.
"Blueblood, what, what happened?" said a panicking Twilight.
"They're all dead, all of the ponies I fought with!" he screamed at Twilight, he was still in survival mode.
"There they are!" Big Macintosh yelled, gripping his machine gun, Caramel supplying ammo.
Fluttershy looked down her sight, she was using that .50 cal rifle she had taken from Nightmare.
BOOM
The whole group, except for Fluttershy , recoiled at the sniper shot, the pullet hit three guards, ripping them in half.
Featherbrain fired his machine gun, killing a dozen or so soldiers, he kept firing, and soon the soldiers fired back, bullets ripped his skin off of his body, he fell from the cloud, 100 feet, and hit the ground, his bones breaking, he was just trampled by the marching soldiers.
` The soldiers passed under his cloud, and the two mares fired, again, they killed a dozen or so soldiers, but they were killed by a pegasus who slit their throats, they fell from their cloud and broke their backs on the hard ground.
The punji stake pits were the only available ground defense left beside the ponies.
"INCOMING!!!" Rarity shouted as she grabbed Pinkie out of the way.
An artillery shell exploded, the walls of the room were gone, flames ingulfed the room, and Rarity and Pinkie were laying in the middle. Rarity gained consciousness, and she looked over at Pinkie.
"Pinkie!" Rarity screamed, Pinkie was bleeding from her mouth.
"Rarity, go!" Pinkie ordered weakly, she pretended to die.
"Noo!" Rarity screamed, she ran out of the room, crying heavily.
"I'm coming home Cherry," Pinkie said, the roof collapsed on Pinkie, reuniting her with Cherry.
"AppleBloom, grab that rifle, shoot that one!" Applejack pointed to an advancing soldier.
"Yes ma'am!" AppleBloom shot the soldier, he collapsed to the ground.
"Applejack watch out!" AppleBloom jumped on Applejack, a bullet whizzed right over her head.
"AppleBloom, we're going to go back to Big Macintosh and Caramel okay?" Applejack said, holding AppleBloom.
"Okay," AppleBloom said, just then a line of napalm landed in front of them, blocking them from the castle.
Applejack threw AppleBloom over the flames, but she was not able to get through, bullets hizzed by them as Applejack yelled,
"Go to the castle, NOW!!"
AppleBloom ran, she could hear her sister screaming, she was crying, she found Braeburn.
"Where's Applejack!?!" Braeburn asked her, she simply cried as an answer, he hugged her, he held her for several minutes, bullets whizzed around them as the ran back to the castle, they looked for Big Macintosh, and they found him.
Fluttershy watched as two ponies ran up to Macintosh, crying, he asked where Applejack was. They simply cried.
Fluttershy went back to her sniper, she just kept firing, taking out two soldiers at a time, she an out of .50 cal ammo as a tank pulled up. She grabbed a Javelin, and fired it, the smoke trail it left led right to the tank, the tank exploded, leaving flames everywhere.
Blueblood was shooting a rifle at a squad of advancing soldiers when he was hit again, this time in the shoulder, Twilight grabbed him.
"Snap out of it," twilight said, "You're going to get killed if you don't get to a medic,"
Twilight took his gun, and she ushered him to a medic. The medic stitched him up, but she insisted that he stay around the station, he might be unstable.
Twilight walked back to the castle rooftops, she saw a couple thousand dead ponies, not to mention the several thousand injured ponies. Twilight saw down in the field, a familiar face, it was Applejack, she was surrounded, they shot her, and kept shooting, Twilight started crying uncontrollably.
Twilight heard a whistle and saw a large missile heading for the wall that they were on top of...
The missile hit the wall, causing it to collapse with Twilight, Fluttershy, Big Macintosh, AppleBloom, Prince Blueblood, Caramel, and Braeburn. They fell one hundred feet, landing on stone and each other. Twilight woke up, looking over to see Nightmare and Blueblood fighting, not with guns, but with magic, what had she missed.
The wall was collapsing, and Blueblood jumped, he gripped the side of the roof, slipping, he teleported, landing safely on the ground below. He looked up, and Nightmare was walking towards him, killing anypony and everypony in her path. She finally reached him, he was ready, he shot her with an explosive spell, she deflected it, sending it towards a few Dark soldiers.
"Oh, Blueblood, such a shame, you were my favorite," Nightmare said, smirking.
"I know Luna is inside you, but you need to die," Blueblood said.
Nightmare was surprised at that, she thought that he would show mercy because of Luna, be she was just as fine with out it. She picked him up and threw him against a wall. he slid to the ground, injured, he got up, looking Nightmare straight in the eye, he said.
"Sweet Dreams, Nightmare," Twilight threw Nightmare fifty feet, and she went through a wall, landing on a pony, killing it.
"You! You weredead!" Nightmare yelled, she did think Twilight was dead.
"Your assassin missed," Twilight said, lining up beside BlueBlood.
"Very well, then i will kill you myself," Nightmare took Twilight, and she threw her on to the battlefield, leaving her to die.
"Now now, Blueblood, let's see what color your blood really is," Nightmare said, she was on top of him, edging a spell on her horn ever closer to his neck.
"It's red," he punched her in the jaw, causing her to stumble backwards a few feet.
"Don't fight it Blueblood, you will die, and I will kill you," Nightmare said, lurching forward towards Blueblood.
Blueblood kicked her in the jaw, she recoiled, and she threw him about thirty feet, again, hitting a wall. Blueblood rose slowly, and he looked at Twilight, who was back, and she was fighting Nightmare.
"Twilight Sparkle, I remember Celestia, do you?" Nightmare said, laughing.
"She was such a coward, the way I killed her, i'd love to tell you the story, but alas," Nightmare picked up Twilight, adn repeatedly slammed her against the floor, until she no longer responded.
"Nightmare!!!" Blueblood was already over beside twilight, he shot flames out of his horn, engulfing Nightmare, she shook the flames off.
"Oh Blueblood, I almost forgot about you, she pinned him with a spell, and she walked forward, a new spell appearing, she levitated a blade, and it neared his throat.
"Hey Nightmare," A machete exited Nightmare's chest, it twisted, blood spurting out.
"It's me," Fluttershy said, pulling out the machete, letting Nightmare bleed.
"Blueblood, you're luck i woke up, I, I was too late for twilight wasn't I," Fluttershy said, a tear, her first tear ever, formed in her eye.
Fluttershy looked over at Nightmare, who was convulsing, and stabbed her throat.
"Who did she kill, in here?" Fluttershy asked, looking over at Twilight.
"Only Twilight," Blueblood said sadly.
"We need to fight," Fluttershy said, the two walked out of the castle, the last remnants of Nightmares army were being killed off, they had won, at a cost of thousands of ponies, but they had won.
Fluttershy threw her machete, and it landed in a dead soldier's body, it was an enemy, and Fluttershy rounded up all the survivors, while Blueblood rounded up all of the wounded, it took four days, and by that time, they had killed two hundred more enemies. Fluttershy usually stayed at the top of the castle, but the few times she did come down, she was met by sadness, too unbearable for her.
"How many did we lose?" Fluttershy asked Blueblood one week after the battle.
"2,159 ponies, the enemy lost nine thousand and two, we as us, lost Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Apple Fritter," Blueblood said sadly.
"When to we go to Canterlot?" Fluttershy asked coldly.
"Mom, dad, is that you?" Applejack asked, she saw her parents.
"Applejack, why are you here, you're supposed to take care of AppleBloom," her mother said.
"I'm sorry mom, i saved her," Applejack said, suddenly realizing where she was, she was dead.
"Mommy, can I go back, I promise I'll never do this again," applejack said, teary eyed.
"Alright, but give me a hug, and give a AppleBloom a hug for me," her mother said, hugging Applejack.
"I will, and dad?" Applejack said.
"Yes?" her father said.
"I love you too," Applejack was was touched on the temple by her mother, sending her back, she woke up in no pain, and no more injuries, she was just bruised.
"Princess Celestia, I missed you!" Twilight jumped in to Celestia's embrace.
"I missed you too twilight," Celestia said, still hugging Twilight.
"Celestia, how'd you die?" Twilight asked.
"I didn't, but I am in between, when Nightmare died, I was brought back here, and when Blueblood returns to Canterlot, I will be back," Celestia siad.
"Celestia, can I stay here with you?" Twilight asked,
"No, I'm sorry Twilight, but if you stay, then you'll fully die, you need to live," Celestia, touching her horn to Twilight's temple, and Twilight screamed, and there was no more pain, she was healed, all except for her heart.
Twilight ran to find Blueblood, and he was shocked beyond all to see her. She ran straight up to him.
"Blueblood, you have to return to Canterlot!", Twilight yelled, "NOW!"
"We don't have to," Blueblood said, trying to calm her down.
"What, No, you have to!" Twilight said, pleading.
"Why, and how are you alive?" Blueblood asked, he'd seen her die.
"You want to know why! Celestia is stuck halfway between death and life, she sent me back, but you need to get to Canterlot and claim your throne, and then she will come back!" Twilight said, trying to hurry Blueblood to the door.
"Celestia... I, I thought she was gone forever," Blueblood stopped, and he just stared, stared a thousand yard stare.
"So did I, but we need to get to Canterlot and claim your throne," Twilight said, "You were next in line,"
"Twilight, I.." Blueblood started.
"Come on Blueblood, we need to go," Twilight tried to push him.
"I'm sorry Twilight, but i can't go back and release Celestia," Blueblood said, looking in Twilight's eyes.
"Why not?" Twilight asked sadly.
"Well, Twilight, I figure that you're about to die, so here it is, I tried to kill Celestia, not Nightmare, Nightmare only returned after I thought I killed her, and she took power," Blueblood said, he now had Twilight pinned.
"Why, why'd you do that Blueblood?" Twilight was crying.
"I wanted power, but I guess stuff happens," Blueblood said, his horn lighting up with magic.
"Blueblood, please, don't do this, please!" Twilight pleaded, but Blueblood came ever closer to her with his magic.
"STOP BLUEBLOOD!" Fluttershy walked in, brandishing a pistol.
"So nice of you to join us Fluttershy, Twilight and i missed you," Blueblood said, casting a panicking Twilight to the side.
"Blueblood, just stop okay?" fluttershy said, holding her pistol.
"No, I am going to kill you and then I'm going to kill Twilight," Blueblood said, circling with Fluttershy.
"No you're not," Fluttershy lunged at him, he threw her against a wall.
"I killed Celestia, do you really think you can defeat me?" Blueblood asked, smiling.
"You, you did," Fluttershy was shocked.
"You're next," Blueblood lurched forward, kicking Fluttershy into a wall.
"Pathetic, both of you," Blueblood, sneering.
"What about all of us?" Applejack said, walking up with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.
"You're dead!" Blueblood pointed a hoof at Applejack.
"Nope, I was sent back, just like Pinkie Pie," Applejack pointed at Pinkie, who was smiling a calm smile.
The floor started to rumble, and five circular stones appeared form the floor. They levitated when Twilight started.
"Are those, they ARE, the elements of harmony!" Twilight screamed, happily.
"No way, they can't be!" Blueblood screamed, he was suddenly losing.
"Who do they go to?' Applejack asked.
"Us, the first, Honesty, Applejack said, you couldn't tell a lie, even when you were mad at Fluttershy, the second, Loyalty, goes to Rainbow Dash, for helping the soldiers, and for helping me through the toughest of times," Twilight said, the rocks went over by Rainbow and Applejack.
"The third, Joy, goes to Pinkie Pie, for the life before, and now, she is still smiling, the fourth, Kindness, goes to Rarity, for her attempt to save Pinkies life, and for kind acts for everypony," Twilight said, those two elements, levitated beside Rarity and Pinkie.
"And the fifth, Generosity, goes to Fluttershy, she gave up all of her ties to the royals to come out here and help us," twilight said, all the elements shattered.
"What, no," Twilight's eyes were wide, Blueblood was laughing.
The elements re-materialized, and they formed necklaces, that clamped on the necks of the five, and a sixth one appeared.
"The sixth, is mine, it the most powerful, yet it cannot act as one, is Magic," Twilight sadi, the stone formed into a crown.
A large ball of white formed around the six, and a huge rainbow beam shot out at Blueblood, it burned through his coat, then his muscle, then his bones, they still heard the screams of him when the beam was gone. The six ponies fell back to the earth. Each lay where they fell.
"What!" Twilight raised her head, looking over at a large black mark on the floor.
"What happened?" twilight asked again.
"You let me return," A large ball of yellow light appeared right where Blueblood was vaporized.
Two large, white wings extended, and a large, whit horn extended, the flowing, multicolored hair appeared next. The last to appear were the Princess' eyes, Princess Celestia was back, and she was glowing with power.
"Twilight Sparkle,I have returned, and you have saved me, I owe you my greatest thanks," Princess Celestia said, extending a hoof to Twilight.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight ran up to her, nuzzling her neck.
"I missed you to Twilight," Celestia said.
"Princess, these are my newest friends, the three dozen I had, they died,' Twilight said sadly.
"What happened to them?" Celestia asked gravely.
Twilight couldn't bring her self to expose Fluttershy, so she said.
"Nightmare's assassin killed them,"
Celestia shed a single tear, and she looked at the ground.
"These are my friends," Twilight said for two reasons, they were getting up, and that she wanted to change the subject.
"Hello, my name is Applejack, she shook Celestia's hoof.
"Hello," Celestia said.
"My name is Rarity, i love your mane," Rarity said, shaking Celestia's hoof.
"Hello,"
"My name is Pinkie Pie," Pinkie said, shaking Celestia's hoof.
Fluttershy and Celestia were flying, not through air, but through time, when they stopped, they were on top of a concrete building, Fluttershy finally realized what this was, she was about to kill Mayor Mare.
"This is your first hit, isn't it, this date seemed important," Celestia said, looking at Mayor Mare.
"Yes," Fluttershy said, looking at herself, so, she couldn't describe it.
Fluttershy was looking at Celestia when the shot rang off, and time slowed, Fluttershy saw the bullet, as it trailed ever closer to Mare, when it hit her, time went normal speed again.
"We have more to visit," Celestia said, grabbing Fluttershy, they moved forward, this time they were looking at Twilight, right beside Fluttershy's old self.
Fluttershy clicked the detonator, and again, the beeping sound happened, and two by one, the rooms exploded, all up to Twilight's office, but they did not leave.
"Why have we not left?" Fluttershy asked Celestia, looking up at her.
"You're not done," Celestia said, Fluttershy realized what was next, she braced herself.
Fluttershy arrived back, one by one, stabbing the ponies, and smiling while she did it, Fluttershy felt weak, she couldn't stand it. The Princess grabbed her wrist, and they went to the parking garage outside of Applejack's office, ten seconds before she fired.
"Child, do you feel any emotion?" Celestia looked down at her, and time froze.
"Yes, I do Celestia, it's sorrow," Fluttershy said, tears in her eyes.
Time resumed, and Celestia looked at Applejack, then the shot rang out, Applejack fell to the ground, then several more sounded, the ponies in the room were killed. Again, Fluttershy knew what was next, she shot two more, and killed the rest with a grenade, only now realizing, the grenade had broken the glass six floors down as well.
Finally, she turned back to the building, where she fought the soldiers, killing them all, she hated seeing that, the way she stabbed each one, and the few she had mercy and shot. The tranquilizer dart hit her, and Applejack dragged her down the stairs, and back up to her office.
Applejack interrogated her, and then here it was, she was garroting Applejack, she just threw her body out the window, casting it away like a piece of trash. Celestia and Fluttershy sped through time, and arrived at the Canterlot stadium, right before the pegasus burned.
The crows was cheering at the smoking pony, and she burst in to flame, the pony was burning to death on the field, and the crowd was screaming now, but that was a quick stop, Celestia and Fluttershy teleported behind the counter at Pinkie's bakery.
"Mom, want me to sell the order of cookies for you?" Cherry Pie asked, a wide smile on her face, Fluttershy didn't want to look, but Celestia made her watch.
"Yes, but take their money first," Pinkie Pie said happily.
"Okay," Cherry struggled to lift the cookies, she was just a little nine year old filly.
Fluttershy had noticed the cutie mark, it was a cherry pie, she was proud to work in her mother's bakery.
"That's 24 bits ma'am," Cherry Pie said, a smile still on her face.
"Here you go, little one," the woman happily handed the filly the money, and she took her cookies, in that moment, time slowed.
"Thank you, come aga..." Cherry Pie was thrown against the wall, the window shattered, the little filly had a split second scream, and she bounced off of the wall, and fell to the floor, Fluttershy ran over to her, trying to save her, but Celestia pulled her back.
Pinkie ran in screaming, she cleared out the place, she mourned her daughter in quiet, and Fluttershy watched. Celestia put a hoof on Fluttershy, and they reappeared in Hoity's boutique.
"Welcome to Hoity Toity's Boutique, I am Rarity, do you need anything?" Rarity said, a smile on her face.
"No, I'm quite fine," Fluttershy said, walking over to a wire hanger rack, at this time, Hoity Toity was approaching her.
Fluttershy had finished the weapon when Hoity had reached her, she turned and stabbed him. Rarity screamed and ran, but Fluttershy caught her, and knocked her out. Fluttershy walked around, hid Hoity's body, and locked Rarity to a chair with rope, she closed the store and grabbed a bat.
Celestia and Fluttershy moved to the backroom, just as Rarity was waking up.
Fluttershy broke her leg with the bat, again and again, with each hit, she shattered Rarity's leg more and more, that's when she tied the rope around Rarity's neck, using the rope around her broken leg. Rainbow and Twilight arrived, taking Rarity, the two teleported to the castle, seeing Fluttershy run up to Nightmare, and nearly get killed, the beating, the walls, and the falls.
"Do you know why we stayed for this?" Celestia asked Fluttershy, looking down at her.
"So I could see the day I started changing," Fluttershy said, and Celestia nodded, Celestia and Fluttershy were flying through time, and they were flying now, beside the helicopter, the assistant was already dead.
The rocket was zooming towards him, he panicked, and prayed, and for a split second, a smile was on his face, the helicopter was hit, jolting him, it went down, with him still alive, he stayed in the wreckage. Fluttershy walked up to him, adn in cold blood, shot him to no end, and took his rifle.
"Next will be the most horrible for you," Celestia said, she took Fluttershy's hoof, and they soared through time, flying forever, they arrived back at the hospital.
'No,' Fluttershy thought, this was when she killed her father.
"Yes," Celestia said aloud.
Her mother walked in to the hallway, and she jumped out of bed, she slid past her table, and grabbed the needle, her father had no time to react, he put his hoof out, but it was too late, Fluttershy had implanted the needle in his heart, she ran, but they stayed.
"Why are we staying?" Fluttershy asked, she was fully crying now.
Watch," Celestia said.
Fluttershy's mother came back in, she looked at her husband, dead on the floor, still bleeding, she ran over to him, crying, she looked for Fluttershy, she was crying harder than Fluttershy. Fluttershy was just laying there crying.
"Fluttershy what's wrong," Twilight ran up to Fluttershy and Celestia.
"I, I, i saw all of you, how I shot you, and stabbed people, I blew them up, I, I saw Cherry, Pinkie, I'm sorry!" Fluttershy yelled, still crying, she was coughing on tears.
"You, you saw her," Pinkie said coldly, ears coming to her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I saw the bullet hit her, I'm sorry!" Fluttershy yelled at Pinkie, Pinkie started crying, she collapsed to the floor.
"Twilight, I, I never told you, I came back, and there, there were three survivors, and I, I stabbed them all, I let them die, and i smiled," Fluttershy was choking on her tears now.
Twilight and Celestia started crying.
"Applejack, I, I killed all of the workers, and you, I threw you out of a building, I, I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy said, her eyes stinging form crying.
Applejack closed her eyes, remembering the pain, she shed a single.
"Rarity, I, I stabbed Hoity Toity, he panted, and he bled to death, I closed his body in a closet, I'm, I'm sorry!" Fluttershy was gasping for breath.
"Rainbow, I, I'm sorry, I hate that I had to burn, no, I wish she was alive, and it was me who died, I'm sorry," Fluttershy said, crying in a heap on the floor, her breathing becoming heavy as she slowly calmed down.
All of them were crying, as they calmed down, Celestia turned to Fluttershy, and asked,
"What is your punishment?"
"Anything but that, I can't take it!" Fluttershy said loudly, tears still streaming down her face.
That struck Celestia, she thought Fluttershy would try something easy, she had misjudged Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy, I have decided," Fluttershy looked up, "You shall receive the punishment of being sent to the moon, for one.."
"Minute," Celestia smiled, and Fluttershy did too, she ran up to Celestia, receiving cheers from everypony.
"Princess, I am ready to accept my punishment," Fluttershy smiled, drying her tears.
"As is," Celestia activated the spell, and Fluttershy was sent to the moon.
"Early release," Celestia said, ten seconds later, she returned Fluttershy back to Equestria.
"Thank you Princess," Fluttershy said, her eyes dry now.
Applejack was sitting at a little farmhouse, that is where she was staying while they were in Ponyville.
"Mom, I miss you, and I miss you too dad," and with that, Applejack remembered what her mom had told her, she ran to AppleBloom.
"AppleBloom, mom told me to give you a hug for her," Applejack burst into tears as she hugged AppleBloom, and she looked up, she saw, in the distance, her parents, they were smiling, and then they disappeared.
The end, not, lol got ya, the last chapter is next, the ride is almost over, :(
Epilogue/Back to normal/I love all of my readers so much
Celestia was sitting on a chair in her office, looking out the window, waiting for something to happen, anything really, she wanted something to do. She got the chance when Twilight and Fluttershy walked through the doors.
"Hello Twilight, Hello Fluttershy!" Celestia said, a little over enthusiastically.
"Hello," Fluttershy said, a little bit shy.
"Hello," Twilight said, walking ahead of Fluttershy.
"What brings you two here?" Celestia asked, fully turning to them.
"Um, Celestia, I was wondering, how did you send us back from the dead?" Twilight asked.
"Fluttershy didn't die," Celestia said, changing the subject somewhat.
"Okay?" Twilight sensed this.
"Princess, do you think things can ever change back before, before I, I killed," Fluttershy studdered, as she held back tears.
"No, Fluttershy, that is not possible, but there is a choice," Celestia said, looking at Fluttershy.
"What is it?" Fluttershy asked, darting to Celestia.
"It may not work, but you can get the souls of the ponies you killed back," Celestia said, looking right into Fluttershy's eyes.
"How?" Fluttershy asked.
"You will die, but not completely, and go into their worlds of heaven, and bring them back," Celestia said, Twilight looked at Fluttershy.
"She's not going alone," Twilight said, locking eyes with Fluttershy.
"You're right, she can't go alone, we need somepony to go as well," Celestia said.
"Me," Twilight said.
"Twilight, are you sure?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes," Twilight looked at Fluttershy and then Celestia, who nodded.
"Very well, both of you, back up against the wall," Celestia said, pointing a hoof to the wall.
"Celestia, how do we bring them back?" Twilight asked, "You never told us,"
"It is a very old and complicated spell, it is like reanimation, except it works completely," Celestia said.
"What is it?" twilight asked.
"Here," Celestia handed Twilight a piece of paper, it contained the spell.
"Everything you have will be with you when you are dead, so that will be with you," Celestia said.
"We're ready," Fluttershy said, and twilight nodded.
Celestia's horn activated, "bye girls, see you later," and she struck them dead, their bodies falling limp on the floor.
Oh, you guys like this story, well guess what, there is going to be a continued series of this, it is of Twilight and Fluttershy getting all of the dead's souls back to life, enjoy!!!
"You're lucky I love and tolerate all of you," Broneyofnoel said.
