Isle of She-Beasts

“Dinner time girls!” Spike continued ringing the pot to alert the girls. “Come and get it!”

Faster than a wave washing the beach at high tide, the girls came pouring into the Mess Hall to take their seats, while Spike served their meals.

“For the carnivores, we have Ginger Fried Red Boars, Rockbird-Teriyaki and Onion Soup, and Bloody Horn-Bull Steak.”

At the mention of the meats, the carnivores — Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Fleur, Marina, and Beatrice — were all drooling at the mouths.

“Mmmm! Smells good!” Sunset growled hungrily.

“Oh, where are my manners?” Rarity exclaimed, taking a moment to compose herself. “I shouldn’t behave like this, especially after everything dear Spikey-Poo has cooked for us.”

“Nyah,” Fleur meowed.

After he had a moment to shake off some unsettling feelings, Spike turned to the herbivores to present their dinners.

“For Twilight, we have some hayburgers cooked extra crispy. Fruit salads for Fluttershy. Bananas for Pinkie Pie. And every vegetables we’ve grown for Leggy and Kirin.”

“Baaa,” Both sheep bleated in gratitude.

“Smells good!” Twilight smiled.

“Thank you, Spike!” Fluttershy smiled, after the man gave her bowl to accommodate for her blindness.

Spike looked around and noticed the party was missing one more.

“Hey? Where’s Loona?” Spike asked.

“Oh she’ll be here,” Rainbow reassured, while snickering with Applejack. “She’s just…drying herself up.”

“Yeah, she’ll be along. Don’t worry,” Applejack giggled, as she and Rainbow shared a fist bump of sort with their hands and wings.

Spike was rather unsure of what Applejack and Rainbow Dash could be laughing about. But he decided to just shrug and let it slide, before he puts his own plate of meal on the table. A plate of spaghetti, with tomato sauce.

“Oooh,” Spike groaned to himself.

“Is something alright, Spike?” Rainbow asked in concern.

“I’ll be fine, I…I…Ugh!” Spike grimaced, rubbing himself all over. “Ugh!”

“What? What’s wrong, Spike?” Twilight asked. “Are you sick?”

“I…I feel sick…Maybe I am sick,” Spike moaned. “I mean, I just butchered the corpses of several innocent man-beasts! Beasts who were once humans, or who were somebody’s father, uncle, or brother! Now I have the willies!”

With that, Spike resumed jittering, much to the girls’ sympathy.

“Oh you poor thing,” Fluttershy whimpered, blindly walking over to console Spike.

“Fluttershy, watch out!” Sunset shouted, but it was too late.

Fluttershy had bumped the table, causing her to fall over, knocking a bowl of fruits in the air and come crashing down on Spike.

“Spike! Are you okay?” Twilight shouted.

“I’m…I’m okay,” Spike groaned, getting up in his feet, and suddenly turns to see Rainbow Dash laughing at him. “What’s so funny, you…you…Falcon-Woman you…?”

Soon, the girls all joined in laughing at Spike’s misfortune. Had he looked at himself in the mirror, he could see he’s wearing fruits on top of his head like a large hat.

Suddenly, the laughter came to a sudden stop when the village’s wooden wind chimes rang out loud in the air. Something has tripped up Pinkie’s wind chime alarms, meaning something is approaching the village.

Not only that, but the trees above shook violently as flocks of birds flew up in the air.

Applejack’s ears perked up in alarm to the distant sound of monkey chattering.

“The Devil Monkeys are back!” Applejack howled.

“Ugh! And right in the middle of dinner time?!” Sunset Shimmer roared angrily.

“And we just got done with washing ourselves and everything!” Rainbow Dash huffed.

“Well, ain’t like they’re go in’ us a choice,” Applejack sighed, getting up from her seats. “Time for some action, gals.”

With that, the She-Beasts and Reverse-Hybrids all left the Mess Hall to take actions against their uninvited guests. This leaves Spike alone with Kirin, in the Mess Hall.

“So…Should we just stay here and man the house?” Spike asked, when suddenly, a Devil Monkey popped its head through an open window.

The monkey bared its sharp fangs and roared at Spike, who screamed at the top of his lungs.

“AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!” Out of fearful impulse, Spike whacked the monkey in the face with a frying pan, knocking the fiendish primate out.

Spike and Kirin both exchanged looks, with Spike sighing in defeat.

“I know I’m going to regret this…” Getting up from his seat, Spike took another frying pan in his other hand and marched off into battle, with Kirin following.

“Ugh…the nerve of those creatures!” Loona grunted with indignity, as she climbs out of the tub. “How dare they undressed me! And how dare they look at my human body?”

Furious from the indignity she suffered from the others’ paws and claws, Loona angrily shook the waters off her.

However, when she was done shaking, her fur suddenly puffed up, which caused Loona to look like a poodle.

“Argh! This is all Spike’s fault!” Loona barked, as she straightened her fur out, and picked up a towel to dry herself with.

“So what if I stink? So what if my natural smell is too strong for the humans and their sensitive nose? What? Like they can smell better than us dogs? HA! THEY CAN’T EVEN SMELL A MONKEY’S BUTT A MILE AWAY!”

Then, as if she had tempted fate, a devil monkey suddenly dropped down from a tree branch and landed in front of Loona with a loud screech.

“AAAAAAHHHH!!!!” Loona screamed a high-pitch scream, immediately covering her naked body with the towel. “Don’t look you…you…primate!”

Suddenly, the sound of more hooting and cackling caught Loona’s attention to which she turned around to look and see even more troops of devil monkeys surrounding her.

“God dammit…” Loona moaned.

“GET AWAY FROM ME!” Spike screamed, bashing the attacking monkeys on the left and right. “GET AWAY! GET OUTTA HERE!”

Spike screamed, hitting the devil monkeys with his frying pans, and Kirin head-butting any that attacked them from behind.

A devil monkey jumped at Spike. In retaliation, Spike swung one of his frying pans at the monkey and knocked it to the side.

Another devil monkey came swinging down on a vine to slash one of its claws at Spike, scratching him across his back.

“YOW!” Spike cringed in pain. “Ooh, that’s smarts…”

At that moment, a whole squadron of devil monkeys charged towards Spike, who lets out a loud high-pitch scream, that sounded like a girl’s scream.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” Spike screamed.

“SPIKE!”

Without warning, a wired fence suddenly burst out from the ground between Spike and the monkeys. To further the surprise, the Devil Monkeys were electrocuted to the point they were charred and shocked.

“…Uh…What?” Spike muttered.

Another loud screech startled Spike and Kirin to look behind them to see a whole troop of Devil Monkeys charging at them.

Before the monkeys could reach either man and ram, several wooden guns suddenly appeared from the surrounding trees and shot coconuts at the attacking Devil Monkeys, repelling them away from Spike and Kirin.

The monkeys staggered back from the barrage of flying coconuts, until the ground beneath them gave way to reveal a large hole. Even more unexpectedly, there was a loud boom and the Devil Monkeys were launched out of the hole and were sent flying off, somewhere on the island.

“Uh…what just happened?” Spike asked dumbfounded.

“My latest remote controlled Home Invaders-Begone traps!” A voice boasted proudly, revealing herself to be Twilight Sparkle.

“Twilight?!” Spike exclaimed. “You did all of this?”

“Uh-huh!” Twilight nodded proudly, while showing off a remote control in her hands. “Each and every traps are controlled by this handy dandy little remote!”

“But…how did you manage to make any of this possible?” Spike continued to ask.

“Well, I’m not one to brag, but in case you forget, I was voted the most smartest in my school’s robotics class,” Twilight smirked. “And I have used the creative liberty of taking apart the nearest technology Dr. Grogar used to monitor and stimulate his Reverse-Hybrid experiments’ home for our favor. In this case, making our village a fortified fortress against incoming threats.”

“That is amazing!” Spike marveled at the intelligent pony-woman. “You are a genius!”

Twilight blushed in response, “It was nothing. Really.”

Suddenly, the loud scream of a woman filled the air, alerting Spike and Twilight, reminding them of the current battle.

“Rarity!” Spike shouted.

“Go on, Spike!” Twilight insisted. “Go! Save them! I’ll take care of things from my end.”

Though initially reluctant of leaving Twilight’s side, but also aware that Rarity needs help; Spike nodded and headed off in the direction Rarity screamed.

“I’m coming Raritiy!” Spike called.

Shortly after Spike left, Kirin followed.

Spike kept on racing through the crossfires of the battle, knocking away any Devil Monkeys that were in his way, and outrunning any that tried to chase him down.

Spike kept on running until…

“AAAAAHHH!!!”

He was suddenly lifted off the ground, dangling by one foot, ensnared in a snare trap, bouncing in the air from a tree branch.

“Oh great…” Spike moaned, realizing the awkward predicament he finds himself in. “Help? Help! GIRLS! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE! Can someone please help me down? HEY! Can anyone hear me?”

Then, as if answering the man’s question, a shriek cried out from the treetops as a Devil Monkey poked its ugly face out from the leaves.

“Except maybe you?” Spike asked in rhetorical sarcasm, before he lets out a loud. “HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!! SOMEBODY! SAVE ME!”

The Devil Monkey cackled maniacally as it started climbing down on the rope, getting closer and closer to Spike with every threatening second.

“Get away from me! Shoo! Shoo!” Spike yelled at the monkey, frantically kicking his free foot in a vain attempt to stave off the monkey.

Thankfully, like an angel answering his prayers, a blur of white and orange cuts across the rope, dropping Spike and the monkey to the ground.

The Devil Monkey let out a bloodcurdling screech as it lunged at a screaming Spike. Thankfully, a familiar blur of orange, red, and yellow lunges across and knocked the monkey away from Spike.

The blur was none other than Sunset Shimmer. The fiery tiger-woman was viciously biting and clawing at the Devil Monkey, who screeched loudly as it returns the blows at the tigress.

At that exact moment, a couple more Devil Monkeys jumped at Sunset from behind, in an attempt to save one of their own comrades. They bite and clawed at her, and for a moment, Sunset let out an aggravating roar as she turned her jaws in an attempt to get the monkeys off her.

The monkey that Sunset had pinned down quickly got up and joined the other two in their combined assault on Sunset Shimmer.

“Hey! Get off of her!” Spike shouted, running in with a frying pan, and swung it hard and blindly at the Devil Monkeys.

*BONG!

“OW!” Sunset groaned, clutching her sore head.

“Oops! Sorry, Sunset…” Spike apologized, before he swung his frying pan again and hits a Devil Monkey on the nose.

The angry monkey turned its attention on Spike and jumped at him. Thankfully, Kirin arrived just in time to knock the monkey away with a strong headbutt in between the groin.

The devil monkey immediately keeled over, clutching its smarten groin, while Spike recovered.

“HA HA!” Spike laughed hysterically at the downed monkey. “How do you like THEM apples, monkey?”

“SPIKE!”

“Rarity?!”

Spike looked up in time to see the snow leopard-woman falling from the branches, plummeting towards him.

“OH! I gotcha!” Spike frantically shouted, holding his arms out to catch Rarity, and running backwards to catch the She-Beast. “I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha! I gotcha! OOF!”

Spike and Rarity both fell down with a hard thud. Spike was sprawled across the ground, flat on his back, with his face smothered in Rarity’s breasts.

“Oh, good catch!” Rarity sighed with relief. “Thank you, darling~!”

“You’re welcome,” Spike groaned, with his nose bleeding.

After a moment to recover, Spike and Rarity got up in time to find themselves confronted by a very familiar monkey-man.

“Blueblood!!!” Rarity shrieked in outrage. “You’re behind ALL THIS?!!!”

The monkey-man responded with more loud shrieking.

“Uh…I didn’t quite catch that. What did he say?” Spike asked.

“Honesty, darling, if I could speak monkey, my answer for him will always be no,” Rarity huffed.

Blueblood let out another loud shriek, while beating his chest angrily.

“And I think that’s monkey for him not taking no for an answer,” Spike frowned frightfully.

Blueblood proceeded to march over towards Spike and Rarity, when the man suddenly stepped forward, holding one of his frying pans in front, like a sword.

“Hey! You want Rarity? You gonna have to go through me, you entitled son of a bitch!” Spike declared. “I have a frying pan! And I’m not afraid to use it…”

“Oh, Spikey-Wikey~!” Rarity purred, with her hands over her chest. “How…How brave of you~!”

Both Spike and Rarity look back at Blueblood, seeing him crack a wicked grin, before he lets out a hoot, which summoned several more Devil Monkeys to come over and aid him.

“There’s too many of them!” Spike moaned. “Rarity. Grab Kirin and get out of here!”

“Absolutely not darling!” Rarity huffed. “I can’t just leave you alone with these ruffians. A lady must do what a lady must do.”

“What’s that?”

“Finish a fight!”

Then, without warning, Rarity jumped up in the air, darts across the trees as a magnificent blur of white, faster than a speeding bullet.

Spike and Kirin could barely keep up with the fast leopard. Rarity was knocking the Devil Monkeys left and right, until only Blueblood was left standing.

“Rar!” Rarity growled.

Having lost his backup, and his bravado quickly fading from his face, Blueblood could only let out a miserable weak hoot, before he takes off running for his life.

“Hmph! Even as a Man-Beast, he couldn’t even bother doing his own dirty work,” Rarity huffed, before she turned to Spike with a look of concern.

“Spikey-Wikey! Darling? Are you alright?” Rarity asked, a gulp smacked Spike.

Spike blinked his eyes for a couple of seconds, dropping his frying pans, looking up at Rarity, not of fright, but from enchanted amazement at what he and Kirin have just witnessed.

“Wow!” Spike finally gasped. “That…was…the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!”

“Aw, why thank you, darling!” Rarity smiled, before she frowned sadly. “I’m…sorry if I…stole your heroic moment, or anything…”

“You’re forgiven.”

Suddenly, a loud roar brought Spike, Rarity, and Kirin’s attention back to the present.

“SUNSET!” Spike and Rarity exclaimed together.

They looked to the left to see a furious tigress savagely mauling all of the Devil Monkeys that were biting at her, clawing her hair and furs out, with the light blue sundress she was wearing from that morning.

“Oh my!” Spike moaned in dread.

“Oh! They’re tearing away her lovely sundress!” Rarity screamed in outrage.

Blood spilled across the grounds of the village, with bits and pieces of the Devil Monkeys, and torn fabrics of Sunset’s sundress.

Sunset continued to roar and hiss loudly with such a fury that Spike felt as if the whole world was shaking.

In spite of all the bites and scratches she’s been getting, Sunset continued fighting off the monkeys. But that wasn’t what scared Spike and his other two companions.

It was more or less the display of savagery that Sunset was exhibiting, as if she was no longer in control, let alone aware of her surroundings.

“Sunset?” Spike called out.

In response, Sunset Shimmer snapped her head, growling at Spike, baring her fangs, with her eyes glowing an eerie brighter of cyan, and her pupils so thin that she almost looks soulless.

On first glance, Sunset Shimmer has completely become the tiger that Dr. Grogar engineered her to be. Her humanity was gone.

“Whoa, Sunset! It’s me!” Spike screamed in fright.

“It’s us, darling!” Rarity followed. “We’re your friends! Remember?”

Unfortunately, Sunset Shimmer wasn’t listening. She let out another thunderous roar and stalks towards Spike’s group.

“Sunset! Stand back!” Spike yelled at the tigress She-Beast. “I’m warning you!”

Sunset didn’t listen when the ground beneath her gave way and Sunset Shimmer fell into a tiger trap that was previously set up.

“SUNSET!” Spike shouted, reaching out for the tigress’s hands and was almost dragged in.

“SPIKE!” Luckily, for Spike, Rarity quickly jumped into action and grabbed him by the belt around his pants.

Kirin quickly joined in the rescue and grabbed onto Rarity’s tail, pulling her back.

Together, the three friends pulled the tigress She-Beast out of the pitfall trap, saving her from being speared by the sharp pikes that were planted at the bottom.

“Sunset? Are you okay?” Spike asked, to which the answer he got was a low growl from Sunset.

The tigress She-Beast got up and growls as she slowly advanced upon Spike, sniffing his air. Spike was freaking out, both from the adrenaline of saving one of his friends from death, and the fact that a girl was getting too close to his discomfort.

He closed his eyes, feeling the hot air of Sunset breathing, and the sensation of her sniffing him.

“Please…Sunset,” Spike pleaded, while wishing that the She-Beast, who was formerly Sunset Shimmer, would have some decency to make his death quick and painless.

However, it didn’t came. Instead, he felt a slobbery wet tongue scrubbing up his cheek, and the sound of low, short vocalization sounded in the air.

Spike opened his eyes to see Sunset was licking him across his face, while chuffing.

“Ew!” Spike groaned, trying to push Sunset off him. “Sunset! Stop! Cut it out!”

For a moment, Sunset wasn’t listening, until a little later, when she opened her eyes to reveal that they were back to their normal shade of moderate cyan and her pupils were round again.

“Wha-Huh?” Sunset exclaimed, shaking her head. “What…What happened!? Where am I? Spike?”

Sunset looked down to see she was sitting atop of Spike, in a rather compromising position.

Her legs were straddling across Spike’s stomach, her claws were holding his arms down, and her nose was too close to Spike’s face. Close enough for her to see his quivering lips, his wide eyes, and the sweaty droplets trickling down his head, mixing with the fresh cuts on his face.

Sunset’s growing anxiety reached its peak when she got a quick look at herself down.

Her sundress was torn to ribbons, revealing her bikini bottom, and her breasts were spilling out from the gaps, pressing against Spike’s chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat.

“S-S-S-SPIKE?!!!” Sunset Shimmer stammered, flustering a bright shade of red as she frantically got off of him, and covered her breasts. “I am SO sorry! Whatever I was doing, I had NO idea what happened or what came over me!”

“It’s fine…” Spike replied awkwardly. “Let’s just…pretend this never happened. Right Rarity?”

“What happened, darling?” Rarity played along.

“Exactly.”

At that moment, a loud scream was heard in the air, to which Spike, the She-Beasts, and Kirin looked up to see Fluttershy was flying blindly and crashing through some tree branches, unintentionally tripping up some of Pinkie’s air traps, along the way.

“I gotta go check up on Fluttershy!” Spike explained to Sunset and Rarity.

“Of course, darling,” Rarity nodded. “The poor dear must be hurt!”

“We’ll handle things from here, Spike,” Sunset reassured.

With a thumbs up, Spike ran off, with Kirin following, leaving both big cat She-Beasts alone together.

“Oh darling!” Rarity gasped in horror, at the sight of Sunset’s torn sundress. “Your new sundress is ruined!”

“Eh. It was hot day anyway,” Sunset shrugged, with her blush still burning. “Though…I’m going to need something more than my fluff to cover my…you know…for Spike’s sake…”

Meanwhile, Spike had just ran out the front gate of the village wall, with Kirin following close behind.

They had evaded some Devil Monkeys and brushed past some ferns to find Fluttershy, upside down, in a tangle of vines. It wouldn’t be so awkward for Spike, if not for Fluttershy’s skirt flipping over to reveal her green striped panty.

“Help! HELP!” The blind She-Bat screeched. “Help! Get me out of here!”

Shaking his head clear of some awkward thoughts, Spike got out his pocket knife, which he used to cut some of the vines.

“Fluttershy, hang on!” Spike called. “I’ll get you down!”

“Hurry, Spike!”

Spike was sawing one of the vines, when the ground shook. Both he and Kirin looked up to see a whole herd of his mutated crew members, stampeding through the forest. One of the mutated nuckelavee-like hybrids happens to see Spike, and reared up on its hind legs, letting out a bloodcurdling shriek before it charged after Spike and Kirin.

“Oh SHIT!” Spike screamed, hiding behind a tree to dodge the monster’s sharp cloven hooves.

The monster slashed its claws at Spike, who ducked behind a tree, barely dodging the sharp claws that tore three deep gashes in the bark. The gashes were so deep that Spike can fit his whole hand in one of them.

Spike held out his frying pans, but the monster’s horse head lunged forward, biting a large chunk of a pan, leaving behind a huge bite mark.

Scared out of his wits, Spike tossed the other frying pan at the beast, to which it swatted it away with its massive claws.

Spike quickly dropped to the ground to avoid another attack, then he rolled across the grounds to avoid the monster’s stomping hooves.

During the fight, Spike had dropped his pocket knife, which ended up being smashed to pieces underneath one of the monster’s hooves.

Spike rolled across the floor, until he was at a good distance to get back on his feet.

Spike frantically got up a ran for his life, with the savage monster chasing after him. However, the monster didn’t get very far when the little ram, Kirin, came running out and hits one of its legs with his single long sharp horn.

Momentarily distracted by the ram, the monster looked down and angrily waved its sharp hooves to scare off Kirin.

Spike didn’t stop to look behind. Instead, he kept on running until Devil Monkey jumped out from the bushes and lunged at Spike.

The Devil Monkey clung onto Spike, who frantically held his hands out to hold the monkey by its neck, keeping its sharp snapping jaws away from his face. The monkey continued to scratch his arms with its claws and feet, much to his agony.

“AAAAAHHHH!!!” Spike screamed.

“SPIKE!”

A loud screech pierced the air, and a large bird swooped down to snatch the Devil Monkey off of Spike.

He looked up in the air to see a familiar feather of blue and rainbows flying in the air with the monkey held in her claws, by the neck.

With a twist of her body, Rainbow Dash tossed the Devil Monkey at Spike’s mutant crewmate, who sliced and diced the monkey to pieces.

“Grab on, Spike!” Rainbow Dash cawed, when she flies over to Spike with one of her clawed feet stretched out.

Spike reached a hand out, grabbing onto Dash, and was lifted off the ground, narrowly avoiding a swipe from the monster’s massive claws.

Spike looked behind him, seeing Kirin head butting the monster’s legs again to distract it.

He also noticed that Fluttershy was still tangled up in vines, with a swarm of Devil Monkeys closing in.

“Rainbow Dash!” Spike shouted. “Fluttershy is in trouble!”

“I know! Hang on! We’re coming around!” Rainbow tilted her wings to the side and they made a full rotation to fly back towards the tangled Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash and Spike both went to work cutting off the vines, while fending off some of the attacking Devil Monkeys. Rainbow Dash was flapping her wings furiously, trying to intimidate the savage primates, while Spike picked up a rock to cut the vines off of Fluttershy. Once he finished cutting the vines around Fluttershy's wings, the She-Bat immediately took flight.

"WHOOOAAAA!!!" Spike yelped, quickly grabbing onto the pink ring of fur around Fluttershy's neck. "Fluttershy! STOP!"

"I CAN'T!" Fluttershy shouted in a frantic panic.

"Why not?" Spike asked.

"I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO STOP!"

Spike held onto Fluttershy's mane, looking up to see the monkeys were hooting and howling as they climbed across the tree branches, before they leapt towards them.

"GET AWAY FROM US!" Spike screamed, swatting a branch at the attacking monkeys, barely holding onto Fluttershy. "Whoa! AH! FLUTTERSHY! LOW BRIDGE!"

"Where?" Fluttershy asked.

But it was too late.

SMACK!

"OOF!" Both Fluttershy and Spike grunted, upon crashing into a tree branch.

"AAAAH!!!" Spike fell off of Fluttershy's back, desperately reaching for the She–Bat, grabbing onto her skirt, accidentally pulling it down to her ankles.

"AAAAHHH!!!" Fluttershy yelped in embarrassment. "SPIKE?!!"

"I'M SORRY! I WON’T LOOK!” Spike loudly apologized, looking away, but unintentionally looked down.

Almost immediately, he started to feel lightheaded, with his whole world spinning wildly from a wave of dizziness washing over him at the dangerous height he and Fluttershy were hanging.

"AAAHHH!!!" Spike screamed, closing his eyes shut, desperately clinging onto Fluttershy's skirt. "FLUTTERSHY! DON'T LET ME GO!"

"Why would I let you go?" Fluttershy asked the frighten man.

"I...I...AH!" Spike yelped, when he felt his grip losing. "I...Can't...Hold...On...Much...LONGER!!!"

From down below, little Kirin galloped after the man and the She-Bat who took him. The little ram got into a couple of troubles on the way, when several Devil Monkeys had ambushed him, and Kirin had to zig-zag to throw the vicious primates off his back.

Kirin had ran under a monkey, causing the other monkeys chasing him to crash into that monkey. A Devil Monkey landed in front of Kirin and screeched loudly, scaring Kirin.

But the little ram stood his ground, firmly determined to not let anything standing between him and Spike. With a kick of his legs, Kirin rammed his head in between the monkey’s legs.

The monkey keeled over in pain, while Kirin ran off to help Spike, who was dangling by Fluttershy’s legs.

"Hang on, Spike," Fluttershy grunted, clawing her thumb across the tree's bark, climbing up to pull Spike up towards her, all the while holding onto her skirt, by her toes. "Spike? Are you still there?"

"Yeah! I'm hanging!" Spike replied, with his eyes still tightly shut. "Quick! Pull me up!"

Suddenly, the tree started to shake and both Fluttershy and Spike nearly fell off.

At that moment, the nuckelavee–mutant hybrid from before had followed Spike and Fluttershy to the tree. It viciously shook the tree, until its barks snapped and it fell to the ground, with Spike and Fluttershy in a mighty crash.

With his ears ringing from the crash, Spike’s whole body was sore, with the taste of blood trickling his nose, wafting over his tongue.

The loud neigh of the nuckelavee-hybrid filled the air, which Spike turned his head to the left.

Though his world was still spinning, Spike could see Rainbow Dash fighting off the mutant hybrid of his former crewmate.

His visions slowly returns and he could see the Falcon—Woman pecking and clawing at the hybrid’s eyes, blinding the beast.

“Spike?!” Fluttershy squeaked, to which Spike turned around, seeing the blind She—Bat wobbly getting up on her legs.

“Fluttershy?” Spike limped slightly over to the woman—bat. “You…okay?”

“I’m fine,” Fluttershy grunted. “Are you okay?”

“Shaking a little,” Spike admitted. “But I’ll live.”

Back in the fight, Rainbow Dash flies away, while the blind nuckelavee flails its arms, aimlessly in the air. Kirin had also joined in the fight, head butting one of the hybrid mutant’s forelegs. The monster blindly slashed it claws at the ram, but unintentionally slashing off its own horse-head.

The blind nuckelavee stumbled about, until one of its hooves steps on the covers of a pitfall trap and it ends up falling in, where it was speared by the sharp wooden spikes at the bottom.

Spike looked away, hugging Fluttershy and burying his face into her scruff.

“Oh, Spike,” Fluttershy cooed, wrapping her wings around the man, gently patting him on the back.

Eventually, once the nuckelavee had screamed its last dying breath, Rainbow Dash flew over with Kirin.

“Hey! You two okay?” Rainbow asked.

“Yeah. Thanks, Dash!” Spike replied. “How’re we doing so far?”

“From what I could see,” Rainbow explained. “We’re driving them off. But some have already gotten into the village. They’re coming in from the treetops, and Pinkie’s barely holding them back.”

“Sounds just like a monkey,” Spike figured. “Monkeys are definitely built for the tree tops. So if you want to stop them, you gotta knock them down. Can you handle them, Rainbow?”

“Knocking down monkeys? Can do!” Rainbow smirked.

“And what about me, Spike?” Fluttershy asked.

“Fluttershy…you…” Spike looks down, seeing Kirin still at his legs.

“You can look after Kirin and Rainbow can look after you!” Spike said, giving the little ram to the She—Bat.

“Where are you going?” Rainbow asked.

“I’m going to run back into the village and get the other Devil Monkeys out,” Spike replied as he took off running. “See ya!”

“Good luck, Spike!” Fluttershy called, while a squirming Kirin tries to follow after the man.

“Oh, by the way, Flutters,” Rainbow began. “Nice pair of panties.”

"EEEP!!!" Fluttershy screeched as she grabbed her skirt to tighten around her waist, unintentionally dropping Kirin in the process.

The little ram then went after Spike.
