The Wolfras

The Wolfras

Chapter 1: In Sight

On a bright summery day, Fluttershy trotted all around her cottage, feeding all her animal friends.

"Lunchtime!" She called out and in within a second, cats, mice, flamingos, ferrets, squirrels, chipmunks, ducks and bunnies flooded the cottage. Fluttershy hoofed out a big pile of food on the floor and the animals gorged on their meal greedily.

She saw Angel and three bunnies fighting over one piece of lettuce and stopped them by gently saying, “Now come on, Angel, why don’t you share the lettuce with your friends?”

Angel rudely ate the lettuce, blew a raspberry at the other bunnies and hopped off.

“Don’t worry, bunnies, you can eat Angel’s secret stash he hides when I’m not looking instead.” Fluttershy told the three bunnies as she saw the sadness in their eyes. She showed a huge stack of vegetables to them and they happily ate the whole pile, while Angel slapped his face with his paw and pulled a jealous look.

Afterwards, Fluttershy was shutting the gate of her chicken coop, when she heard a rustling sound from the edge of the Everfree Forest.

"Is-is anypony there?"color] she cried out nervously. A yip suddenly sounded.

"EEP!"the skittish yellow Pegasus squeaked and jumped so high, she landed on a cloud. She had just calmed herself down and alighted back on the ground when all of a sudden; a bright orange coloured wolf cub came out of the Forest and greeted her.

"Hi!"She said, to which Fluttershy replied, “Oh my, a wolf cub. What are you doing here?"

“My name’s Electra, I’m a Wolfra.” the cub answered.

“A Wolfra? I've never heard of those before..."

Electra was amazed. “Wow, really?” she asked. Now that’s weird. I’d have to get the others to-.”

“Oh, um, sorry to interrupt, but there are more of you?” questioned Fluttershy, beginning to worry. She wasn't sure whether this wolf was friend or foe.

“Of course, there are tons of Wolfras and it’ll be so cool to introduce us to your friends, Miss?”

“Oh- I’m Fluttershy." ” the Pegasus timidly answered. It was her standard introduction to ponies, but she was worried the Wolfra might eat her, so it would be good to keep her content.

“Great! Now where did my big sis go?”Electra mused, turning around to look.

“B-b-big sister?!” Fluttershy stuttered with fear. One part of her mind instantly thought that these Wolfras were carnivorous monsters that wanted to eat ponies.

But another part of her mind reasoned that maybe she should give the young Wolfra cub a chance.

She thought it through, and decided to follow Electra, to make sure nothing went wrong.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was speeding through the clouds, pulling off “super-extreme-aweso-mazing” tricks to impress the witnessing fillies and colts down below. They roared in applause as the blue Pegasus ended the show and flew away away.

“Well, that’s another crowd of my fans pleased. Now to get down to business.” she said to herself and started her weather patrol throughout Ponyville.

Out of nowhere, a motorbike engine sounded and out came an electric blue wolf with a puffed mane, who jumped on her motorbike so high that she was eye to eye with Dash. She landed safely back on the ground and drove off. Rainbow was stunned by this wolf’s daredevil spirit.

"Whoa! That was so cool. As a matter of fact, I could learn a few tricks from this wolf.” she exclaimed, then did a double take. "Wait...WOLF?!”

Dash was confused and tried to figure it out as she flew down to the ground.The new tomboy was a vicious creature.  Why would a wolf ride on a bike and show up in town so friendly? Before Dash could go get answers, a gang of Timberwolves appeared and started to chase the Pegasus, who immediately took to the air, but was so surprisd that she couldn't get up very high. She flew for her life, but her courage and speed was beaten by the creatures. Just as they clawed at her, the blue wolf arrived on a nearby cliff, "Don’t worry, mate. I’ll take these dimwits down. Watch out!”She called out to the Pegasus,  and zoomed on her four legs down the cliff to fight the Timberwolves off.

After the Timberwolves retreated, the wolf went over to Rainbow Dash and helped her up.

"Me name’s Skybolt, what’s yours?”

“Uh, Rainbow Dash.” Dash replied sheepishly.

“Cor, that’s one wicked name!” Skybolt exclaimed, before noticing the mare's expression. "Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you saw a ghost.”

“I’m not scared!" The Pegasus retorted. "I’m just a little worried you're gonna eat me.”

Skybolt howled with laughter. “As if! I’m not gonna eat an awesome pony like yourself. Besides, we Wolfras never ‘arm anyone.”

“That’s what you are?”

Skybolt replied with a simple yes and then, another, smaller wolf appeared and galloped up to her.

“Sis! I’ve been looking all over for you!”she said, with an exhausted Fluttershy trailing behind her.

“Hey, Electra. Dash, this is my little sister, Electra.”The blue wolf said, picking up the cub.

“Heh. That’s a cute little squirt ya got there. Bet ya she’s got a need for speed!”Dash grinned.

“I think the only thing I need is a rest!”gasped Fluttershy. Her Pegasus friend helped her get her bearings, and she noticed Skybolt. "Oh, Rainbow, I see you’ve met the Wolfras.”

“You kn-know them?!” Rainbow faltered.

“Oh no, I’ve only met Electra this morning and I'm just meeting, um”

“Skybolt.”The blue wolf offered.

“I’m Fluttershy... You must be Electra’s mother.”Fluttershy guessed.

“Sister.”

After an awkward pause, Electra had an idea."Hey, would you guys like to meet our friends?”she suggested. The ponies looked unsure.“Don’t worry, they’re not gonna eat you.”She reassured them.

“Sure,”replied Rainbow eagerly.

“ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS! THE COAST IS CLEAR! COME ON OUT!”Skybolt yelled to the Forest. Then, hundreds of Wolfras flooded the area and in the front were five other Wolfras. One was coloured violet, another had a rose-coloured coat, one a neon yellow, the fourth a pink colour to it and the last with pure white fur.

“Everyone, meet my friends Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Dash, Flutter, meet my friends Misty, Diamond Rose, Vivica, Butterpup and Princess Bianca.”

“Oh, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Highn-.”

“Hey, girls, don’t worry about the whole ‘royal bowing thing’, just be yourselves. Besides, I hate anyone who hides their true nature.” Bianca said.

“I’m beginning to like this princess.”Dash whispered to Fluttershy.

Before anypony or anyone could say anything else, there was a loud rustling nearby,

What in Equestria is going on here? I heard a yell, loud noises and-” said Twilight Sparkle, who appeared with Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie, gasped, cutting herself off.

“Wha’ in land’s sake are those varmints doin’ in Ponyville?”Applejack asked with a stern face.

“Applejack, these are the Wolfras. They are lovable, friendly-.”

“Awesome wolves from the Everfree Forest!”Rainbow interrupted.

“Yes, but they’re wolves.” Twilight debated.

Mean, vicious, super-snarly, could- eat-a pony-in one-minute, spit-dribbling, back-biting WOLVES!”Pinkie Pie added, standing on Dash’s head and bending her neck to lock eyes with the blue Pegasus.

“Now come on, girls. Shouldn’t we show a little compassion?”Fluttershy retaliated.

“Yeah, Skybolt here saved my life from Timberwolves an hour ago!”Dash supported. No matter how hard she and Fluttershy persuaded their pony friends, they weren't sure they could convince them to give the Wolfras a chance.

“Girls, we are not the same creatures as the Timberwolves. They’re our enemies.”Princess Bianca said to the ponies.

“And we’re not from the Everfree Forest.” The Wolfra said. “You see, we’ve come from a faraway empire called Caniselia, where I and my mother, Princess Aura ruled over the land for generations. However, a few years ago, a cluster of migrating dragons attacked us. The Wolfra Gods tried to fight back with their powers, but the dragons were too strong. Eventually, they burnt the empire to a charred wasteland and for years, we Wolfras have tried to find a new home but everywhere has been filled with other animals, and though we thought we could share, the animals were too scared of us, thinking that we were monstrous beasts. Now, we have no other choice but to give up.” Princess Bianca explained. “You see, we Wolfras are wolves but have the ability to talk and show kindness and love while other wolves show hatred and evil. I understand that you don’t want us to live aside with you ponies.” She continued.

“If you don’t want us to live here, we’ll leave. Come on guys, let’s go."The princess called out to her subjects and they, all with heavy hearts, walked away. The Mane 6 huddled up and ultimately Twilight called out to the Wolfras.

“Wait a minute, We have decided that you all can stay with us. Because you guys have saved Dash’s life and since you’ve such a hard time trying to fit in, we’ll be more than glad to help you.”The alicorn smiled as the Wolfras cheered and jumped for joy. "You know, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.”

"You’ve said it.”

And with that over with, the Guardians and ponies happily started to head towards Ponyville to meet the others.

“Oh, just so you know, we DO eat meat."Princess Bianca suddenly stated.

“WHAT?!” The Mane 6 gasped in unison, now beginning to worry whether to trust these creatures or not.
