Flutterborn

In Ponyville, coming from from Fluttershy’s cottage, Jet was slowly walking through the town with a disgusted grimace on his face. He peered from side to side at the ponies walking by, some flinching in fear or running scared, which made him quite happy, but then there were the ponies that would try to talk to him, like a certain mint-green unicorn that smiled as she looked at him gleefully, staring at his claws and tail, mainly his tail. After about 10 minutes of following him he finally got pissed and blew black flames at her, barely missing as she ran away, bringing an evil grin to his face as he walked on.

He walked on, his grin soon turning into a bored frown as he soon walked past Sugarcube Corners, cheers of joy and fun bursting through the door and windows. He then grew a malicious idea as he walked up to the door and checked his teeth in the window, smiling and showing off his dagger-like teeth and nodded as he walked through the door, clearing his throat and then roaring as loud as he could, scaring everyone and turning the cheers and laughter to tears and yelling as they ran out as fast as possible.

He laughed maniacally and was walking back out the door until an angry pink face appeared in front of him, “Whoa!” He said in a surprised yelp, crashing down to the floor. He shook his head to clear away the blurs from the fall and noticed the same angry face, making him growl and sit up, a pink pony straddling him as he groaned, “Who are you?” he said confusedly, her frown not leaving her face. “I’m Pinkie Pie, and YOU just ruined my party!” He rolled his eyes and grabbed Pinkie by the tail and tossing her up the stairs, making her bounce off the walls up the stairs like a ball, a loud crashing sound following soon after.

He chuckled at his actions and made his way out of the dessert shop and continued to walk by himself. He continued on, pushing or glaring away the ponies that walked by him or looked up at him in fear or interest like Lyra had. He then flew up into the skies, spooking everyone nearby with the loud shockwave it created as he flew. Just when he was relaxing, he heard an annoyingly loud voice next to him, “Hey, what’s up?” he looked next to him to see a sky blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane, tail and magenta eyes. Peering into her eyes, he noticed they were a major difference from the pony that saved his life.

The Pegasus whistled, bringing him back to reality, the Pegasus looking at him oddly, “Dude, something wrong? You zoned out on me.” Jet growled and flew faster to get away from her, the sound of her voice once again next to him, “Well, I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria, and you are?” Jet growled his answer, “Leaving…” He flew faster, flying away while Rainbow continued to chase him, catching up and was once again next to him, “Nice to meet’cha Leaving. Wanna race?” Jet was about to blow her out of the sky with his flames but soon looked in front of them and smiled devilishly, “Sure, on the count of 3…” Rainbow nodded, “I can do this with my eyes closed…” and so she did as Jet’s smile grew, “1… 2… 3!” He flew away and backwards as Rainbow crashed into a cliff-side with a painful thud, making Jet laugh with amusement.

He flew back to Ponyville but first saw an apple orchard, smiling again and landing in one of the trees softly, grabbing an apple and spinning it on one claw, peeling it with the other and biting into it with a loud crunch, sighing in relaxation. He soon heard a couple of voices coming his way and climbed higher up into the tree so he wasn’t seen. An orange Earth pony and a bigger red one seemingly arguing.

“Big Mac! I’m tellin’ ya, I can pick all the apples in this orchard by mahself! Ya just got outta the hospital, ya shouldn’t be puttin’ so much strain on yer injury!” the orange one said to the bigger red one. Big Mac was going to retort, until the orange hoof of his sister was stuck in his mouth. “I ain’t takin’ ‘no’ fer an answer Macintosh, now go back to bed.” He nodded and walked away as the orange pony walked up to the tree he was hiding in, about to buck it. Before she could, he slashed every apple over her head and made them fall on her. After the 15th apple she fell to the ground with crossed eyes and a wacky smile on her face.

He laughed, falling backwards out of the tree and landing on his feet as he ran away from the orchard with an apple in his left hand. He started walking as he saw a small purple dragon and a white unicorn with a purple, curly mane walking his way, the purple dragon carrying a sack of gems over his shoulder. Jet snarled at the sight and as he neared them, he pushed the white unicorn out of his way, a smirk growing on his face as he walked away, until… “Hey!” he heard a small child-like voice call out to him, making him stop in his tracks. He simply looked over his shoulder at the small dragon helping the unicorn up onto her hooves and threw a glare at Jet.

He grew a questioning look the small dragon’s way, “What?” The small dragon walked and looked up to him, an angry glare in his eyes. “Apologies to the lady!” Jet chuckled and turned around looking at him with his heartless glare, “And who exactly is going to make me if I say no?” the dragon puffed out his chest trying to look tough, “I will!” Jet laughed in amusement and kneeled down in front of him, “Right, sure you will kid. What’s your name?” Spike looked at him confused, “My name is Spike, why does it matter?” Jet smiled and stood, “I was just wondering. Well, weren’t you going to make me apologize?”

Spike nodded, remembering what he’d said as he made an angry look at him, running at him and jumping up, throwing a fist at him as jet simply caught his balled up fist and threw him at the Carousel Boutique, face-planting him into the wall and fall to the ground knocked out. The white unicorn gasped in surprise at the sight of Spike on the ground with a bleeding snout. She scowled at Jet in a rage as she dashed at him, pointing her horn out so she could stab him. He looked down at her and scoffed, flipping over, grabbing her tail, and throwing her at the boutique as well, knocking her out and landing on Spike. He smiled and walked away chuckling.

Meanwhile, Pinkie and the others were walking towards Rarity’s boutique growing worried that they hadn’t heard from Spike in a while and also looking for Jet. “Now Pinkie, are you sure he’s this way? When we found you your eyes were still swirling.” Twilight said worriedly. Pinkie nodded furiously, “I know it! I can sense him!” She said referencing to her Pinkie Sense while Rainbow Dash had a furious look in her eyes. “That jerk cheated! He made me crash into a freaking CLIFF! When we find him, I’m gonna knock his head off!”

Fluttershy looked at her angry friend, knowing well who she meant and was met with a sinking feeling in her stomach, ‘Jet…’ She thought to herself as she followed Pinkie and the others, her lips turning into an upsetting frown. She was startled by a sudden scream as Pinkie looked ahead, pointing at Jet, Rarity and Spike knocked out and bleeding behind him.
He had an amused look on his face and crossed his arms. “Well, if it isn’t little miss party pony…” he smiled wider as he looked at Rainbow, “And you even brought Rainbow Crash.” He laughed demonically, Rainbow and Pinkie scowling at him as Fluttershy simply looked at the horror behind him.

Twilight stepped forward, “So, you’re the dragon everypony in town has been talking about lately…” He smirked, “Wow, word travels fast in this little town, huh? So what if I am? Ya’ gonna try to stop me?” he challenged as smoke floated from between his fangs. Twilight scold, knowing there was nothing she could do at the time. ‘Without Rarity we can’t use the elements...’ Jet snickered and then he saw Fluttershy, his laughter stopping and his smile fading “You…” he said narrowing his eyes as he walked closer. Pinkie grabbed her party cannon and Twilight was about to shoot her magic at him until Fluttershy got in the way, “Stop!” she shouted as Twilight and Pinkie stopped what they were about to do.

“Fluttershy, what’re you doing? He hurt Rarity, Spike, Rainbow and Pinkie! Why are you protecting him?!” Twilight said in a slight fury. Fluttershy looked back towards Jet, he had a perplexed look as well wondering why she got in between her friends and himself. She stammered but finally found the words, “He’s my… Assistant.” She said smiling back towards Jet, his perplexed look turning to one of pure and utter confusion, Pinkie, Rainbow and Twilight wore the same look as they all shouted in unison, “WHAT?!”
