It was a beautiful day in Equestria. All was well as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were flying through the sky in Cloudsdale. After landing on the cloud floor, Fluttershy tripped and fell, landing face first. When Rainbow Dash looked back; Dumbell, Hoops, and Score were laughing and pointing at Fluttershy as she got up with dizzy eyes.
Dumbell said, chuckling, “Better watch your step Klutzershy!”
“Yeah! Klutzershy!” Hoops replied, stumbling for a better comeback.
Rainbow Dash flew up into Dumbell's face, angrily. “Hey!” she screamed, “You tripped her!”
“You don’t have any proof!” Dumbell retorted, flying up into Rainbow Dash’s face with the same expression.
“Why you-!” Rainbow Dash was cut off by Fluttershy pulling the rainbow-maned pony back.
“It's okay, Dash. Let's just go,” the shy pony said, looking down, hiding behind her hair, and tugging Rainbow Dash to go elsewhere.
Dash pointed her hoof at the three pegasi. “You're lucky Fluttershy is nice!” she yelled as the they went to leave.
“Yeah, go on home, Rainbow Crash!” Dumbell replied hastily. He then caught Fluttershy's returning glare; one that sent chills down his back. As Dash watched, she was glad it wasn’t “The Stare”— a special ability Fluttershy would use on misbehaving animals—but for reasons she couldn't figure out, it was still scary and left her uneasy. The bullies were gone, and the two friends brushed off their awful encounter and went about their day.
***
It was nighttime in Ponyville. Hoops and Dumbell were looking around for Score. Soon after their meeting with Dash and Fluttershy, Score went for a bite and never returned. It had been hours, and all was spent looking for the gray, chubby pegasus.
“Score!” Hoops yelled as he flew around. “Come on, dude, where are you!?”
“Score!!” Dumbell looked at Hoops, worried. “Where could he have gone? He'd normally tell us if he had to go somewhere else.”
A small voice spoke up from the darkness of an alley between some houses. “I know where your friend is.”
As they looked down the alley, the two saw the pony who had spoken in a soft, feminine tone. She was wearing thick sunglasses and a gray hooded cape, covering her entire body except a yellow snout.
“You do?” Hoops said. “Oh, what a relief!”
“Did something happen to him?!” Dumbell asked, panic-stricken. “Is he hurt!? Did he--?”
Dumbell was cut off by the mare putting her hoof over his mouth.
“Calm down,” she spoke. “Come with me and I'll take you to him.”
The mare lead the two pegasi through the town streets, then along the outskirts of Ponyville, and, finally, to a small tree cottage that was dangerously close to a dark forest. As they followed her, the two became nervous, feeling that something wasn't right.
When they entered the cottage, the mare continued to lead them to the basement. It was too dark for the pegasi to see anything, not even their own hooves. Despite the fact they couldn’t see, they did notice the cold dirt they were walking on. The door shut and locked behind them, startling them. They turned around in the darkness, trying to find the door.
Dumbell shouted in panic. “Hey! Whats going on? I thought you were taking us to Score!”
The two then heard the mare humming as she closed in on them. They panicked and started to run in the deep, dark room. Dumbell slammed into what felt like a wall with something soft chained to it. The lights flashed on. What Dumbell ran into was Score; he was chained to a wall with his mouth gagged by a tightly tied towel.
“Score!” Both screamed as he pointed his eyes towards the mare behind them. They turned around, but it was too late; the mare tossed off her cape and slammed a metal pipe into their heads. The two pegasi went limp, knocked unconscious by the blow.
When Dumbell and Hoops came to, they found themselves chained to the wall with Score. The room they were in resembled a dungeon with a menagerie of metal tools and contraptions that were either rusted, caked with blood, or fresh from the store. It was a frightful sight to the imprisoned pegasi.
The door creaked open and a familiar face walked in with a black bag. It turned out to be, of all ponies, Fluttershy. As they got a good look at her face, something felt completely wrong.
Her eyes had an evil demeanor to them, and her expression was more of a dead stare. Her mane was slightly messy, as if she spent many a sleepless night, and her face was lined with a dry stream of tears. Fluttershy looked at them; she was smiling in a demented manner.
She removed the rag from Dumbell’s mouth. He coughed and gagged from the stench of the rag.
“Why are you doing this!?” Dumbell screamed. She instantly slapped him, shutting him up.
She hissed, “You ask me another dumb question and I’ll rip your tongue out!”
He shook in fear of the mare's behavior. Wasn't she too shy and timid to harm another living soul?
Fluttershy positioned herself in front of all her prisoners. “I’ll tell you why since this is your last night alive. It’s because you’ve three have always picked on me when I was younger, and even more so today! All because I was a weak flyer! I keep hearing your jokes and laughter every night and day! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to end the jokes once and for all!”
Dumbell yelled in protest. “You can’t do this, dummy! Ponies will know if we disappear!”
His protest only resulted in another slap from the angry yellow pegasus.
“Those ponies wouldn't care if three lazy and annoying ponies disappear. In fact, I bet most might be happy with you morons out of the picture.” She flipped the bag, tipping it over and showing the tools the three fear will end them. She laid them out in an organized array.
The three shook with fear and scary visions of their demise. Fluttershy picked out a large kitchen knife from the lineup with her teeth and walked over to Score. She took Score's towel out of his mouth as he shivered.
Setting the blade down on a nearby cart, she looked up at him and changed her expression to a calm smile. He couldn't calm down; he was still in fright from the inevitable. The fear intensified when she began to sing.
“Hush now, quiet now. It's time for you to die tonight!”
Near the last words of her twisted lyrics, she snapped back into her anger; she picked up the knife with her hoof and sent it digging into his right wing with a huge amount of force. Blood sprayed onto the floor as he cried out from the shock and pain that overcame him.
She continued cutting down his right wing while the blood splashed onto her; she also continued to hum her song, ignoring his cries for help. She finally stopped when his wing dropped onto the floor in front of her. She looked down at it and smirked.
“There now,” she mocked. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?!”
Score’s head dropped down as tears rained down his face, mixing with a pool of blood on the floor.
Fluttershy moved to Score’s left wing and swung the knife down, repeating the process with the other wing.
“Stop it Fluttershy!” Dumbell screamed through tears, desperate to make the yellow pony stop hurting his friend. “Don’t hurt him anymore!”
Fluttershy grinded her teeth together angrily. In her hindsight, maybe she should've kept the dumb pegasus gagged. She didn't, so she flung the knife at him, cutting into the left side of his flank. Blood gushed from the wound as he screamed in pain.
“Now see what you made me do?!” she screeched. “I was planning to save you for last, but with your nonstop begging, I might just deal with you now! This knife is your only warning, so keep quiet or I'll slit your throat.”
She took the knife out of the wound and went back over to Score. He looked up at her as she swung the knife into the wing once more, cutting it off in one clean cut. More blood splashed all over as Fluttershy chuckled. Score fainted from the pain.
“Great,” she grunted. “The ingrate fainted. For jock ponies, you three are weak!”
Fluttershy then plucked out a taser from her inventory and shocked Score awake. She stepped back as he suddenly threw up. Score began convulsing in pain and shock from the sheer torture brought on by their former victim.
Fluttershy went back to her bag and pulled out a small roll of barbed wire. She grabbed Score’s bottom jaw, opened his mouth, and shoved the wire down. As the wire went down his throat, the barbs poked and pierced his insides. Tears filled his eyes as he tried to scream, but no noise came out due to the wire. All he managed to successfully do with that cry was shake the wire inside him, hurting himself more.
A sudden realization hit her then; Hoops hadn’t made a single noise and stayed silent this whole time. She let go of the wire, letting the end of it dangle from Score’s mouth, and walked over to Hoops. She stared straight into Hoops’ eyes, leaving only a paper thin gap between their faces. Hoops started shaking; he had to look to the side because he couldn’t look into those… eyes.
“You’ve been really quiet for someone who’s watching their friend get tortured in front of him,” she said, pulling his face to hers. “I like it. I like that you're not annoying me like your dumb friend over there. I might just give you a quick death if you keep it up.”
She brought the taser to Hoops. “Let's just see how long you last with this!” She then shoved the taser into Hoop's flank’s, tying rubber bands around the buttons so it continued to send shocks into him. Score was unable to see, afraid to move with the wire currently in his throat, but Dumbell was unfortunate enough to have to watch as Fluttershy turned around and snickered.
Fluttershy watched and listened to Hoops scream until his skin was smoking and his flank was burning. “Oh dear, you’ve caught on fire, need some help?” Fluttershy mocked. She then toyed with the taser as if she were deciding what to do with it. It took what seemed like forever, but eventually Fluttershy removed the taser and tossed it aside; Hoops blacked out, his body going limp.
“What a weak pony,” she said as she went back to Score. “I thought he would last longer.”
She picked the knife back up and inserted it into the pegasus’s chest, near his throat. She pulled the knife down slowly and gently, making a cut large enough to fit her hoof in. She then cut a small hole in Score’s windpipe and reached inside with her free hoof to grab a segment of the barbed wire. Score had started chocking by this point. In his last moments of life, he’d feel Fluttershy yank her hoof out of his chest, bringing the wire with it. He blacked out after that, never to awake again. Just to make sure, though, Fluttershy finished cutting Score’s stomach open, letting his organs fall to the floor in a heap. Fluttershy cackled to herself.
Dumbell knew that his friend, Score, was dead. All he could do was sit and watch his friend die in front of him by the hooves of a pony whom they tormented for a long time. He dropped his head, unable to look anymore.
He looked up as he saw hooves approach; as he expected, it was Fluttershy. She smirked at him and taunted, “Aw, are you going to cry now?”
Dumbell became upset, sick of Fluttershy using his own trick against him. He jumped, but it only reminded him of the shackles that held him.
“Trying to attack me? Great, I love it when my prey fights back. More fun for me.”
Fluttershy put on a pair of horseshoes, one on each front hoof. She got up on her hind legs and slammed the horseshoes into Dumbell's face and chest, leaving bruises, marks, and open wounds.
Dumbell was unable to fight back, and, after enough blows, lost consciousness. Soon, Fluttershy grew bored and exhausted of the beating. All that energy wasted on one miserable pony...
The door opened, spooking Fluttershy. Angel, her pet rabbit, entered in the room, holding an empty bowl in his paws.
Fluttershy became instantly worried. “Angel, did Mommy forget to feed you again? I’m sorry! I got so caught up in my plans that I forgot to leave you food again!”
She presented the beaten pegasi bullies. “Here, eat Dumbell. I just got done tenderizing him, so have at him.” Angel jumped happily as Fluttershy cut open a hole in Dumbell’s stomach.
Angel jumped inside, waking Dumbell up. Angel began to devour him from the inside. Hoops awoke by Dumbell’s sudden screams of pain, just in time to watch his remaining friend's last breaths of life escape in his screams.
Fluttershy’s cuckoo clock went off as she turned to Hoops. She glanced over in its direction and said, “Morning already? Time sure does fly, doesn’t it Hoops?” The second question a final mock to the last living bully.
The realization suddenly hit Fluttershy. “Oh my, Angel,” she spoke in a shocked tone. “Look at the time! We’re going to be late for Spike's party! We better go get cleaned up.”
Angel popped out of Dumbell’s mouth, nodding. The rabbit hopped out onto the floor to follow Fluttershy up stairs.
Hoops panicked. “Wait! You can't just leave me here! Fluttershy? Fluttershy?!”
Fluttershy stopped for a moment. If she left Hoops untouched, he'd draw attention and things would get ugly afterwards. She grab the bloody kitchen knife and silenced the remaining bully with one slit of his throat, letting him gargle and drown in his own blood.
Fluttershy and Angel left the basement, heading up the stairs to clean themselves up in time for Spike's party. For now, she would leave the three rotten pegasi in her basement until she was able to bury the bodies and make sure they were never seen again.
Fluttershy was smiling happily; the bullies were now forever dead, to bother no pony ever again.
