Chapters "Scootaloo!" Whispered Applebloom "Wake up!" Sweetiebelle and Applebloom were at Scootaloo's window. They had been planning to sneak out into the Everfree Forest for a while, and they decided tonight was the night. "Applebloom, how can we sneak out if Scootaloo is sound asleep!?" Sweetiebelle asked. They kept knocking on her window until she awoke.
"What? Huh? Who's there???" Scootaloo looked around, frightened. "Oh! it's you guys. Hi!" "We thought you'd never wake up!" Said Apple bloom cheerfully. "Lets get to the forest already!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders went off after getting Scootaloo. They finally stopped at the edge of the Everfree forest. Sweetie Belle gulped with fear. "Guys, are you sure? We could get hurt..." She said staring at the dark forest. A rustle came from the bushes. "Who's there???" Said Scootaloo, shaking with fear. A strange smell wafted over them before it went black for the crusaders. They awoke soon to find themselves locked up in a cave underground. FlutterShy loomed over them with an evil smile. "Hello there, friends!" She then pulled out a bloody, rusty and sharp knife. Who wants to play a game? "
The Crusaders were quiet. "Nobody? Well, I do have my good friend Rarity here." Rarity was tied up and gagged, screaming in pain. FlutterShy had stapled gems into rarity's skin, and she was bleeding badly. Tears welled up in Rarity's eyes as she knew the crusader's fate. She stared at the knife. Knowing her fate as well. FlutterShy turned to Rarity. She then began peeling off Rarity's flank, destroying her cutie mark. She cried and screamed, trying to get free. FlutterShy then pinned the flank skin to the wall, along with other "Souvenirs". Rarity was losing hope, and energy. She began breathing slowly as she bled out. FlutterShy laughed. "Your turn, Sweetie Belle!" She hissed. She opened up the crusader's cage and grabbed SweetieBelle by the tail. She then shackled her to a pole. "Sweetie Belle!" The crusaders screamed. "A blank flank, huh?" Said FlutterShy. The Pegasus went and got a red hot brander. She then stamped it onto Sweetie Belle's Flank leaving a terrible burn. FlutterShy turned to get her knife again. She then gutted Sweetie Belle and pinned her empty skin to the wall, along with all the cutie marks, horns, and wings she had ripped off her victims.
Seeker Retriever and Harvester
As the years passed, Fluttershy kept feeding her creatures and tending to their every need. They kept growing and getting fiercer and fiercer. On their 6th year, they began to look like their normal selves again. Apple Bloom got her color back, so did Rumble and Scootaloo. All their features came back except for 1 odd thing. Each had a cutie mark, Scootaloo had a red Bloodshot Eyeball, Rumble had A Black slash mark, and Apple Bloom Had Red and Black Sickle. "You have completed your change, my children." Said Fluttershy tenderly. She then scooped up Scootaloo."You are the seeker, it's you job to find more of our kind" She Then grabbed Rumble "You are the retriever. You lead them here so they can make their full transformation.
And Apple Bloom..." she looked Apple bloom straight into her eyes. "You are the harvester. You collect food for my children. You my child, have a very crucial role." Fluttershy stepped back a bit and inhaled slowly. "You will become your true form at sunset each night. Good luck, and return soon."
Tears streamed down the remaining Crusader's faces. "No!" said Scootaloo weakly. "You can't!" FlutterShy turned. And with true hate in her eyes, she walked slowly to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo's cage. "What was that?" FlutterShy said breathing heavily. Scootaloo's eye's were streaming tears now as Fluttershy opened the cage door. The devilish Pegasus grabbed Scootaloo with her teeth, and strapped her to the same bloody pole where Rarity was slaughtered. Apple Bloom watched in utter terror as FlutterShy slowly sawed of Scootaloo's tiny wings. "That's much better!" FlutterShy said. "You are much quieter now!" Scootaloo sat in silence as a small figure came into view. A tiny gray colt with a gray-blue mane. "Rumble?" She said into the dark. It was Rumble. But instead of his usual feathery wings, he had scaly dragon-like ones. His eyes were red-orange and his pupils were slits. He unfurled his wings and lunged at Scootaloo. She attempted to dodge Rumble's attack but it was too late. He had already lodged his teeth in her neck. Scootaloo began to change into a similar creature to Rumble. Except her new wings were torn and useless and her eyes were pure Red. "That's it, my children here you go." FlutterShy threw some bloody remains at the 2 creatures. Rumble flew up and over to Apple Bloom's cage and began hissing and biting at the bars. He made clicking noises at FlutterShy. "Oh, you want a new sister?" FlutterShy smiled."Here Rumble..." She unlatched Apple Bloom's cage. And before you could even comprehend the situation, there was now 3 creatures. "You belong to me now..."
