Chapter 2

Rarity comes to her apartment calling out "Honey I'm home," then she remembers "I forgot I am not married."

A white cat with long hair named Opal comes in the window above the kitchen sink and greets Rarity.

"Ah Opal, I see you have come back share more stories of your sexual escapades, which like I try have some myself," said Rarity as she gave Opal some milk on her plate on the floor, and Opal went straight to drink the milk, and when she was done drinking, she meowed.

"What? How can anypony can be so pathetic? Well to you, yes to you I seemed to be pathetic, but I am a working girl, I gotta pay the rent. Maybe if chipping instead of stepping out," said Rarity to Opal as she went check on the messages on her answering machine.

The message said "Rarity dear, this is your mother, calling to say hello, but I am disappointed that you are not coming home for Hearth Warming Eve with me, your father, and your sister Sweetie Belle, and I want to discuss why are you still languishing in Ponyville as some lowly secretary after you said that working for Filthy Rich might help you with that fashion designer job you wanted," then the message ends.

Rarity scoffs "That's lowly assistant not secretary."

Then a second message came and it said "Rarity it's me Trenderhoof about that Hearth Warming Eve getaway we planned together. I will be going alone, my doctor says that I am my own person and not an appendage," the message ends.

"Some appendage?" said Rarity angrily.

Then she went to sit down on her couch in the living room that was filled with stuff toys saying to herself "Party never stops at Rarity's answering machine, guess I should have let Trenderhoof to win that last racket ball game."

Then a third message came and it said "Hello Rarity, we are calling to tell you about our exciting new Ponyville Lady perfume, it makes women feel like women, and the colts don't have complaints either," the message ends.

Then a fourth message came and it said "Hi Rarity this is yourself, calling to remind you honey about going back to the office, and prepare the files for the meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle on Wednesday," the message ends.

"STUPID CORNDOG!!!" yelled Rarity at herself as she jumped of her couch and ran back to Rich's Department Store.

A little later in the night at Filthy Rich's office at the top floor of Rich's Department Store, Rarity was hard at work preparing for the meeting between Filthy Rich and Princess Twilight Sparkle that was to take place tomorrow.

Filthy Rich walked back to his office after his meeting with the Pegabat and walks into Rarity who was looking at the files from a file cabinet and asks "Working late?"

I am just boning up for your meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle in Wenseday morning. I pulled all the files on the proposed power plant and um Princess Twilight Sparkle's hope for investment. And um I even opened your protected files," said Rarity nervously as Filthy Rich was looking at her in a intimidating manner.

"How industrious of you and how did you opened my protected files, may I ask?" replied Filthy Rich.

"Well um well I figured your password is Winona your late dog and it was," said Rarity as she pointed to a stuffed black and white dog that was on display on a shelf near Filthy Rich's desk.

"Hmm," Filthy reply.

"And all this is very interesting on a technical side, um I mean about the power plant is a power plant in name only, since in fact it is a giant capacitor, and um instead of generating power it would be sort of sucking power, storaging it, um stockpiling it, which is a very novel approach I say," replied Rarity who is now starting to get really scared of Filthy.

"And who do you said this to?" asked Filthy.

"Um nobody," replied Rarity.

"What did curiosity do to the cat?" asked Filthy who was more menacing then ever.

"I am no cat, I am just a assistant um secretary," said Rarity who is now walking backwards from Filthy.

"Hmm and a very good one," replied Filthy.

"Too Good?" asked Rarity.

"Yes," said Filthy as he walk towards Rarity forcing her walk back towards the window behind his desk.

"Listen, it's our secret, honest. HOW CAN YOU BE SO MEAN TO SOMEPONY WHO IS SO MEANINGLESS!!!" cried Rarity.

"This power plant is my legacy, it's what I leave behind for Diamond, nothing must prevent that." said Filth in a threatening tone.

"Okay, go ahead intimidate me, bully me if that makes you feel big, I mean it's not like you can just kill me," snapped Rarity.

"Actually, it's a lot like that," said Filthy and he move closer as if he wanted to bit her neck, but then he stopped and said "HA!" with a happy face.

Then Rarity just laughed and then Filthy laughed too as it as a big joke.

"You know for a second you really frightened me," said Rarity.

Filthy just smiled, but suddenly he pushes Rarity with his front hooves out the window, sending her screaming downwards toward a back alley below, but on the way down Rarity falls through several awnings from the lower windows before she hit the snow covered ground.

Filthy watched Rarity lying dead on the ground from the window and said to himself "Hmm alright," then walks away.

Down in the back alley many alley cats appeared and swarm at Rarity walking all over her, and some of them were biting her hooves, but Rarity came back to twitching and having convulsions for a minute till she stopped twitching and regain full conciseness.

A little later Rarity walked back to her apartment and exclaimed "Honey I'm home," then she turned on the lights "Oh I forgot I am not married."

Rarity was now in a semi disoriented state, her mane was a mess, and she had a streak of blood on her forehead just above her left eye.

She walked towards the kitchen in a zombie like state dropping off a lamp from a table to get the milk from the fridge, first she gives the milk to Opal, but overfills Opal's plate, then Rarity drinks the milk right out of the carton very messily, spilling milk on herself.

Rarity while holding the milk carton checks the answering machine and a message came and it said "Rarity this is your mother call me."

Then a second message came and it said "Rarity this is your mother why have you not called me back?"

Then a third message came and it said "Hello Rarity, we are calling you to make sure you try out Ponyville Lady perfume. One whiff at the office your boss will ask your to stay after work for a candle light staff meeting for two. Ponyville Lady perfume sold exclusively at Rich's Department Store."

Then Rarity screamed at the top of her lungs and threw the milk carton at the answering machine and then she grabbed the answering machine and smash it on the table before throwing it across the living room, and then Rarity tosses the table away heads towards the couch.

The couch was full of stuffed animal toys, Rarity with a crazed look on her face grabs the toys and puts them in the kitchen sink and grabs a knife to stab them, then she turns on the food disposer which ripped the toys apart, sending the cotton stuffing fly all over the kitchen as a group of alley cats came in the kitchen window to see Rarity's meltdown.

Rarity grabs a frying pan and smashes the framed pictures on the walls so hard the drywall was damaged and then she threw the frying pan at shelf full of fragile collectible figurines breaking them.

The alley cats came inside the apartment as Rarity grabbed a spay can full of black paint and started to vandalise the walls and doors.

Rarity opens the closet door and finds dresses that she designed for her dreaming was to become a fashion designer, but nopony including Filthy cared about her designs. She sprayed painted them black and tore them down for their coat hangers, but then she saw a black leather raincoat and took it her bedroom.

Her bedroom a neon sign that said "HELLO THERE." Rarity just smashed a couple of letters with her spray can leaving the neon sign to say "HELL HERE."

Rarity had a dollhouse on a table, but then Rarity sprayed painted it and smashed it with her spray can and throw it off the table, and grabbed a pink box, and emptied it's content on the table, it was sewing threads and accessories.

Rarity grabbed a sewing scissors and began to cut the black leather raincoat to pieces and begins to sew it together with her sewing machine, she makes a pair of black leather gloves for her front hooves tip some wires and some sewing thimbles attached to nails, screws, needles, and cutie scissors, making them into sharp metal claws. Rarity tries the gloves with the sharp metal objects as she continues sewing the other pieces of the black metal raincoat.

A little later in the night Rarity finishes her creation, a skin tight black leather bodysuit and mask with two black leather cat ears sticking out held together by white stitches all over the costume and she tries it on her eyes and mouth were still visible and her front hooves were covered with the metal claw gloves while saying to Opal "I don't about you Opal, but I feel so much yummier."

The next day at Ponyville Plaza Mayor Carrot Cake was making a speech at the podium with dignitaries including Filthy Rich and his family at his side, his wife Cup Cake a light cerulean earth pony with a crimson mane, and his twin newborn fillies Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake. Pound was a light goldish gray Pegasus with a with a brown mane and Pumpkin was a yellow unicorn with a orange mane, most likely Cup Cake had a extra marital affair to have fillies like that.

"Well ladies and colts, I stand before you once again to denounce the urban chaos that we have to live with in our great city, it's gotta stop and it's going to stop, our community is coming apart in a season where we should be coming together," said Mayor Cake as reporters were recording the speech and some of them were taking photographs, but underneath them was the Pegabat and she lifted open the nearest manhole.

"I don't care about what the cynics say, this is the Hearth Warming Eve season, it should be a time of healing, and I tell you that not only as a elected official, but as a husband and a father, and LAST NIGHT'S VIOLENCE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!" continued Mayor Cake as a clown pony appears from behind and grabs the Cake twins from Cup Cake's arms.

The clown pony goes to the podium and pushes aside Mayor Cake and says "I am not one for making speech so I will just say thanks."

The clown somersault out of the podium and goes down into the open manhole.

The reporters huddled towards the manhole to hear the two fillies crying and then they hear the clown pony's voice screaming out loud "NO, IT'S THE HIDEOUS PEGABAT WOMAN, HERE TAKE THE FILLIES, BUT DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!!!"

Down below the clown pony was just putting an act on he hands the fillies to the Pegabat who was on a boat that made from one of the cockatrice shaped ski lifts from the Old Ponyville Zoo.

"The Pegabat says to the Cake twins softly "Don't worry you will be back with your mommy and daddy soon, everything is going to be alright."

The fillies calmed down as the cockatrice boat began to rise up into the air as it turns out it had metal lift underneath that looked like a giant accordion and once the griffin boat reach the ceiling of the sewer, the Pegabat climbed up the ladder and out of the manhole with the two fillies.

The reporters back away as the Pegabat came out of the manhole with the Cake twins and hands them to Mayor Cake who was now standing nearby.

The reporters started to take picture of the Pegabat and she began to cower from the flashes from the cameras and then Filthy rushed to her side.

Meanwhile at Sparkle Manor, Spike were decorating the Hearth Warming Eve Tree while Princess Twilight Sparkle was watching tv and saw everything that just happened at Ponyville Plaza for it was broadcasted live.

A reporter says on the tv "This was a remarkable scene happening only minutes ago at Ponyville Plaza, the mysterious Pegabat saving the lives of the Mayor's twin fillies, and announcing her presence to the world."

Then the tv cuts to the Pegabat who looked pitifully at the cameras saying in a soft voice "All I want in return is a chance to find my mom and dad, a chance to find out who they are, and thusly who I am. And then with my parents, trying to understand why, why they did what I guess they felt they have to do, to a filly who born a little different," then the Pegabat looked at her bat wings with a genuine sad sad look on her face.

"A filly who spent her first Hearth Warming Eve and many since in a sewer," continued the Pegabat.

"Twilight is there something wrong?" asked Spike who was on the other side of the living room still putting on Hearth Warming Eve decoration on the Christmas tree.

"No, it's her parents" replied Twilight.

The tv reporter speaks again "Again this scene direct from Ponyville Plaza where just see the appearance of the Pegabat Mare of the sewers and here standing along side with her is Ponyville's leading citizen Filthy Rich."

"I hope she finds them," says Twilight as the tv screen shows Filthy Rich posing for the cameras with the pitiful looking Pegabat who was still a little startled with the camera flashes.

A little later at the Ponyville's Hall Of Records the press swarmed at the building with cameras and there were police pony guarding the entrance.

The front door opens and a police pony comes out with a reporter that got in and pushes the reporter out yelling" THE PEGABAT IS NOT TO BE DISTURBED!!!

The reporter says snaps back "The Hall of Records is a public place, the ponies have the right to know, and you are violating the freedom of the press."

The police pony just yells back "JUST WALK AWAY FROM HERE!!!"

Then Filthy Rich comes out of the front door and speaks to the reporters "Wait a minute, how about the freedom to rediscover your roots, with dignity and privacy."

The same reporter who got thrown out of the Hall of Records asks Filthy "What's the deal Mr. Rich, is the Pegabat a personal friend?"

"Yes she is a personal friend, of this whole city, so have a heart okay ,it's Hearth Warming Eve," replied Filthy then he walks away mumbling to himself "Giving freedom to the press is one of the most stupidest things that Empress Luna has done in her 1000 year reign."

Back inside the Hall of Records, the Pegabat was busy looking at birth certificates while writing down the names that were on them on a list.

Under Sparkle Manor, Twilight was in a underground cave with computers and weapons that she called the Mare Do Well Cave and this is where she parks the Mare Do Well Mobile.

Twilight was looking at some files at the computer looking up old newspaper articles about the Purple Square Circus Gang.

She reads out loud "Purple Square Circus putting on a swell show, circus returns for two weeks, fillies will love."

Spike appears with a bowl of soup and gives it to Twilight.

Twilight eats a spoonful of the soup, only to spit it out and yells "IT'S COLD!!!"

"It's vichyssoise Twilight, it's suppose to be cold, sorry for about not telling you earlier, I just wanted to try out this recipe," said Spike.

"It's alright Spike," said Twilight as she continues to eat the soup.

Then she continues reading aloud the newspaper articles "Circus back with a freak show something that fillies would enjoy, featuring a poodle mare, the world's fattest pony, and a bat girl."

Then Twilight looks at Spike with a worried look.

"Are you telling me that this Pegabat is not what she seems? Must you be the only lonely mare in town? asked Spike.

Then Twilight continues reading the newspaper articles "Circus tents folded yesterday, perhaps forever after reports of several missing fillies, the police closed down the Purple Square Circus fairgrounds however at least one freak show performer vanished before she could be questioned.

"And I suppose you feel better now Twilight? asked Spike in a sarcastic tone.

"No I feel worse," replied Twilight.

Then Twilight went to look at all of the newspaper articles in the computer and surf the internet and even looking up classified documents that Empress Luna left her for anything that has to do with a creature that is half bat and half pony and she found a lot of strange things about it. Twilight finds out that the Pegabat was seen all over Equestria after the Purple Square circus was shut down and she was even seen at a military base in the Crystal Empire on the day that Emperor Sombra was killed.

Twilight found a video from one of the classified files that showed a younger Pegabat fighting against Crystal soldiers, she was ferocious, she ripped then apart with her wings and teeth, some of them were stomped to death with her hooves and even she managed to break their necks by twisting their heads backwards, and then took one of the machine guns and blasted away anyone who got in her way till she escaped the base, it was a gruesome massacre.

Twilight reads some more documents that finds out that Emperor Sombra was trying to create super soldiers that were half bat, and then Twilight see more videos, and one of them showed the Pegabat dodging cannon balls in a room for hours, she keeps crying out "PLEASE STOP PLEASE THIS I'M TIRED!!!" then she falls to the ground unconscious, only then the cannon balls stopped firing.

This deeply disturbed Twilight for she had no idea that the late tyrant of the Crystal Empire conducting these sadistic experiments on the Pegabat in order to create an army of bat soldiers, but Twilight simply said to Spike "There is one thing about this that makes me feel better, for one thing now more than ever it is a good thing that Emperor Sombra is dead and his sick plans for the world died with him, and now I know for sure who killed him."

Twilight put on her Mare Do Well costume and went to the Mare Do Well Mobile and drove off into the snowy night.

Mare Do Well drove through the snowy, empty and dark streets of Ponyville and then a monitor inside the Mare Do Well Mobile turns on and there was Spike and he said "Why are you still out? Are you still concerned about the strange and heroic Pegabat person? After all she did stopped a genocidal war by killing Emperor Sombra."

"Remember Spike the Purple Square Circus Gang are like timberwolves, they hunts in packs at night, that's why I am still out. Yes I am a little concerned about the Pegabat. I think she knows who her parents are and there is something else," replied Mare Do Well as she drove to the Hall of Records and there Mare Do Well saw through a window, the Pegabat still writing her list and looking at documents.

Then Mare Do Well drove away.

The Pegabat while still writing names on her list thought to herself "The aristocracy that my bastard parents belonged to will pay dearly for what my parents did to me, and see if these aristocrats are willing to pay up for their loved ones, just to see what they love more, their money or their family? This world is sick, all of ponykind is sick and it does not matter what age they are because I have met some fillies that were just as monstrous as Emperor Sombra and my parents, but now it is my turn to shine, to take my rightful place in this world, not only as a member of the aristocracy, but most importantly, a pony."

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 2 and stay tuned for Chapter 3 for this is where more elements from Elfen Lied comes in.

Chapter 3

The Pegabat continues to write names on her list as she reminds herself of why she is doing all this.

10 years earlier the Pegabat was a young filly in a freak show, she was then called Tammy The Hideous Bat Filly, the circus life is all the Pegabat knows at this point of her life aside from living in the sewers until she was 3 years old when she was found by a sanitation worker who then sold her to the circus. She would either be laughed or screamed at by those who went to see her at the sideshow. The Purple Square Circus would travel all over Equestria.

She was raised by her fellow circus performers who some were quite shady characters, but she would spend most of her time with the animals especially circus rabbits who perform tricks at shows along with a young and egocentric magician named Trixie and her assistants Snips and Snails.

Her looking after the animals was the only thing that gave the young Pegabat then called Tammy comfort for the animals would not make fun of her appearance and they were the closest thing to a family she had.

The circus animals liked her more than anypony else in the circus and she wanted to be a part of a animal tamer act, but because of her looks she was only allowed to be just a sideshow freak, so she was a little envious of her future second in command Trixie for nopony got freaked out by her.

Even the other sideshow freaks did not talked to Tammy for they were freaked out by her so Tammy was friendless.

The circus stopped at the Ponyville Park near the Old Ponyville Zoo for next two weeks.

In every night after everybody from the circus is asleep, Tammy goes out to explore Ponyville, flying through the wintery Ponyville Central Park and the old zoo into the city skyline.

Tammy did not have to stay out of sight when she was out late at night for the snowy streets of Ponyville were eerily deserted for many of the ponies still feared that some of the vampire bats and the carnivorous deer might be still out there.

Even Tammy had to be careful by always looking behind her back every minute and the vampire bats were only animals that she was truly terrified of even though she is bat like herself, she would travel through the streets and the alleys, getting used to the city.

Sometimes when Tammy goes out earlier in the evenings she would have to stay out of sight for she would spot some ponies doing there Hearth's Warming shopping with their fillies happily. Seeing scenes like this breaks Tammy's heart for she will never have a normal Hearth Warming Eve, she would never go out with loving parents who would buy her presents, she would never have what other fillies have like having a normal childhood, she would never be loved.

One night Tammy finds a baby white bunny all by himself in a alleyway, she takes him in fearing a vampire bat or a carnivorous deer might eat him, and she names him Angel.

The reactions from the audience for the shows were the same especially the freak shows either laughing, screaming, or gasping, but when the show was over one day, Tammy went out of the tent were the freak show was to look after Angel at the trailer she lived in, a group of fillies greeted her.

"Hi," said a light gray Pegasus filly colt with dark grayish blue mane "My name is Soarin and what's your name?"

Startled a bit by the group of fillies she replied in a sad tone while holding Angel in her hooves "I am called Tammy, but I know it is not my real name."

"Did your parents named you Tammy?" asked Soarin.

"No, it was the circus ponies who named me, I was found living with rabbits in the sewers under the old zoo when I was just 3 years old, and I don't know my parents, and I don't know if I was born in a sewer or somewhere else, but one thing is for sure my parents did not love me, they abandoned me, and why else would a filly be in a sewer at all," said Tammy with tears in her eyes.

"Sorry for making you cry," replied Soarin.

"It's alright it's not your fault, it's just thinking about where I came from makes me sad," replied Tammy.

"Alright and what a cute little bunny you got there, what is his name? asked Soarin.

"His name is Angel and I just found him a few nights ago in a back alley," said Tammy.

"You are very kind, want to be friends with me? asked Soarin.

Tammy looked at Soarin happily and confused for this was the first time that somepony has actually asked her about being friends, and replied excitedly "YAY!!!"

Then Tammy started to have black bile drooling out of her mouth "I'm sorry that happens sometimes when I get excited," said Tammy who was now wiping the black drool from her mouth and hiding her face behind her pink mane.

"It's alright Tammy, listen me and my friends want you to meet us at Ponyville City Bridge at midnight OK," replied Soarin.

"Yes I will be there Soarin," said Tammy as she started to cry tears of happiness "I got to go back work at the freak show now so it was really nice to meet you Soarin,"

"See you later Tammy and by the way I don't think you are hideous," said Soarin as he and the other filly Pegasi left.

"He actually does not find me hideous? I don't think that anypony has ever said that to me ever, he really is nice, infact I don't think I have ever met anypony who is that nice to me at all," Tammy said to herself.

Tammy put Angel back into her trailer and went back to the tent where the freak show was.

The Pegasi fillies walked till they reached the same bridge where Tammy was thrown off of by her parents.

"So Soarin that weird freak Tammy is coming to the Ponyville City Bridge wow she must be desperate to have friends" said a gold pegasus with a orange mane named Spitfire.

"PLEASE DON'T CALL HER THAT!!!" yelled Soarin.

"Calm down Soarin I was just joking" replied Spitfire "We should get going back to the hotel for the and rest up for we are going to have a lot of fun in a cold town tonight, but I got to do something right now you guys wait for me at the hotel."

Spitfire went back to Tammy's trailer and went inside it as the other Pegasi went to the hotel. There on Tammy's bed was Angel sleeping, Spitfire grabs him and leaves a note on the bed. Spitfire flies out of the Ponyville Park saying to Angel in a very menacing tone "Don't worry you will see Tammy tonight and then that's where the real fun begins."

Tammy was in the freak show tent on display, but she felt something very wrong. She never can get used to the laughs and screams, but this was different like something told her that something was not right and to get out of the freak show tent. Tammy then began to worry and said to herself "Why I feel worse now on this show?"

Tammy notices the ponies at the front row. There it was Tucker and Esther Cobblewing who looked genuinely disgusted and frightened when they looked at her, it was a look of malice. They sent shivers to Tammy's spine for what made them so unsettling was not just the way they looked at her but the way Esther Cobblewing looked for she looked exactly like Tammy but without the bat like deformities. They were seated next to Filthy Rich a very young Diamond Tiara, and a very light grey unicorn with a light amber mane named Prince Blueblood who was the nephew of Empress Luna, and also a light pink earth pony filly with a straight dark pink mane named Pinkamena Diane Pie.

"Why do we have to be here?' asked Tucker.

"That bat filly, scares me," said Esther.

"Well we are here because I promised Pinkie that I would take her to the circus after I ordered the courts to acquit her from her murder trial," said Blueblood.

"You don't understand Blueblood, that bat filly is our daughter. Fluttershy is alive," said Tucker.

"I hope that nopony finds out about this," replied Esther.

"Oh you mean the filly you threw down in a storm drain ten years ago, right?" asked Filthy.

"Yes," replied both Tucker and Esther.

"No wonder why you two gave up on having fillies after that. You don't to bring more freaks into this world," said Blueblood.

"I would rather have the house of Cobblewing die out than it live on through monsters like Fluttershy,"said Tucker.

"You two make weird fillies," said Pinkamena.

Bat filly is weird," said Diamond.

Then some pegasi fillies started to throw garbage including full 2 litre soda bottles at her which made her wet and even some glass bottles were thrown at her and yelled "EAT THAT YOU FREAK!!!" and ran out of the tent.

Then a loud maniacal laugh boomed out of Pinkamena and she yelled "THAT'S FUNNY!!!"

The rest of the crowd started to laugh with Pinkamena including Tucker and Esther. Pinkamena throws a cupcake at Tammy. Tammy starts to have a panic attack, she hyperventilated and more of the black bile came out of her mouth, and then she started to see the audience members transformed into horrifying things like giant floating eyeballs and giant severed white floating heads with glowing white eyes that glowed like spotlights that focused the light beams on Tammy while laughing menacingly at her. But Pinkamena, Tucker , and Esther did not transform into either a giant floating head or eyeball, but Pinkamena's coat went white and her mane went curly and green. And the most disturbing thing about Pinkamena's looks was that hideous and unnaturally wide grin and she made the most psychotic sounding laugh in the whole tent. The cupcake Pinkamena throw was moving and squirting out what seemed to be blood and lots of it. Tucker and Esther stopped laughing and gave Tammy a look of pure hatred as their coats and manes turn black and their eyes turned orange, giving them an appearance of a demon from Tartarus.

Tammy horrified of what just happened being assaulted by fillies and getting laughed at, and the horrifying vision of the laughing floating heads and eyeballs, a twitching cupcake that bled so much that the it made a large red puddle on the floor, two demonic pegasi whom one of them looks like her, and a creepy clownish filly she just have she ran out of the tent crying.

She said to herself as she raced to her trailer "The audience was always rude, but not like this. I have a very bad feeling about those fillies who attacked me, and why did the rest of the audience laughed at me? Why they did they not stop those fillies, are they that heartless, are they really are monsters? Those eyes, those horrible eyes, those terrifying faces. Did they broke out of Tartarus? Who are those two pegasi? I never been looked at with so much spite before in my life. Why that mare looks like me? "

Tammy returned to her trailer and there she could not find Angel anywhere and she cried out for him "ANGEL WHERE ARE YOU?!!!" but he did not answer, then she finds the note on her bed and it read "Don't worry about Angel he is safe with us we plan to have fun all of us together at the Ponyville City Bridge at midnight so and there is no need for the police to be involved here and Angel is quite happy."

Tammy now completely shocked and worried about of all this says to herself "Is this what friends do, kidnap each others pets? This is weird I hope they are just planning to have fun and what a weird and bad day I am having."

Later that night Tammy went to the Ponyville City Bridge it was the largest bridge in Ponyville, it was deserted at night, there she meets the pegasus gang Soarin, Spitfire, and a light artic blue Pegasus with a light gray mane named Fleetfoot were standing next to each other while the other Pegasi fillies were behind them including the same fillies who attacked her at the freak show.

"Welcome Tammy I am so glad that you can make it here tonight," said Spitfire who was grinning in a sinister way.

"Where's Angel and you better not hurt him?!," said Tammy.

"Relax he is just fine and are you wondering why are we here," replied Spitfire.

"Yes I am," said Tammy.

"Well then I shall tell you now, we are from Cloudsdale and we attend the Wonderbolts Academy, but we are on a Hearth Warming Eve vacation so we decided to come here to Ponyville to have some fun and guess what you are it," said Spitfire who was still making a creepy grin.

"I'm it for what? asked Tammy.

"You are the who we are going to have fun with Ponyville is a very large city with a high crime rate so we won't get in to trouble for what we are going to do to you and Angel," replied Spitfire.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SPITFIRE?!!! IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE PLANNING TO MURDER SOMEPONY!!!" yelled Soarin.

"ARE YOU THAT STUPID SOARIN AND DO YOU WANT TO STAY ON THE WONDERBOLTS TEAM AS A MEMBER OF THE WONDERBOLTS TEAM YOU MUST OBEY ME YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN YOU MISERABLE WEAKLING !!! snapped Spitfire.

"BUT HOW IN HELL IS THIS PART OF BEING A WONDERBOLT?!!! replied Soarin.

"To test your loyalty to me you unruly idiot, and I want to have fun," said Spitfire.

"WHERE IS ANGEL!!!" yelled Tammy.

"He is right here," said Spitfire as she opened a bag next to her and pulled out Angel.

"I am so going to enjoy this and I wish I could do this more often," replied Spitfire in a very creepy tone, "And when I am done with Angel I am going to have fun with you Tammy."

Then Spitfire throws Angel down in the ground and Tammy jumps at Spitfire but the other Pegasi jumped on her holding her bat like wings down, then Fleetfoot hands over to Spitfire a metal baseball bat.

"I enjoy doing this both bunnies and ponies bleed a lot with everytime I do this," said Tammy as she hit Angel with the baseball bat.

"STOP IT PLEASE!!!" cried Tammy.

"Now Soarin I want you to hit this bunny with this baseball bat and see if you really Wonderbolt material and then I want you to help me to do the same for that bat freak too, besides nopony is going to miss her anyways, and that is why I chose her for this," said Spitfire.

Soarin punches Spitfire in the face and screams at her "YOU PSYCHO I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU DO THIS!!!

"YOU MISERBLE FRESHPONY WHO KNOWS NOTHING HOW DARE YOU ASSAULT YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TOO YOU TRAITOR!!! yelled Spitfire who was now bleeding out of her nose as she hit Soarin in the face with the baseball bat.

"HOLD THE TRAITOR DOWN!!!" shouted Spitfire at her henchponies as they jumped on Soarin who was bleeding out of his nose.

Then Spitfire hit Angel again with the baseball bat and the poor bunny just yelped in pain.

"Let's see if you can fly," said Spitfire as she grabbed the bleeding Angel and flew up about 30 feet in the air and throws Angel down to the ground.

Angel was now bleeding badly in the snowy ground and he was crying in pain.

"Let's do that again," said Spitfire as grabbed Angel and flew up 30 feet in to air and throws him down again.

Angel still alive but gravely wounded is now coughing up blood from his mouth.

"WHY DON"T YOU JUST DIE!!!" yelled Spitfire.

Then Spitfire grabbed the baseball bat and hits Angel repeatedly as Tammy and Soarin begged for Spitfire to stop, but Spitfire would not stop beating Angel.

Then Angel stopped twitching and coughing up blood the poor bunny was now dead.

Spitfire laughed maniacally and then she grabbed Angel's bloodied body and waved it at Tammy and said "Want to join him?"

Then Spitfire throws Angel's body off the bridge into the icy river below.

Tammy cried hysterically and even Soarin cried too and he said angrily to his former friend "You are going to hell for this Spitfire."

"And who is going to send me there? You? Soarin you stupid fool you and your little girlfriend here are going to join that bunny at the bottom of the river very soon," replied Spitfire as she grinned evilly.

"I think I should start with you Soarin for being a traitor and I shall rip your wings off and by the way it is not the first time that I actually ripped somepony's wings off," said Spitfire.

Spitfire hits Soarin in the face with the baseball bat as her henchponies laughed.

"YOU BITCH I WISH YOU WERE DEAD!!! screamed Tammy.

"How dare you wish that upon me you deformed freak and yes you are garbage after all why are you in a circus did you parents throw you out like the trash that you are, who was living like an animal in the sewer previously as a toddler" said Spitfire.

That remark hurt Tammy like a stab to her heart for she knew that she was abandoned by her parents and Spitfire was gloating about it.

"YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET MEETING MEEEE!!! yelled Tammy as she used all of her strength to expand her wing so fast and with such force that the front legs of the two of Spitfire's henchponies who were holding Tammy broke off only hanging off by some skin and tendons.

The two henchponies screamed in agony as blood squirted out of the open wounds on their shoulders and they squirmed on the snow covered ground crying then Tammy stomped on their faces with back hooves such strength that their faces were crushed and unrecognisable and they just gurgled and choked on their blood till they died.

"KILL THAT MONSTER NOW!!!" bellowed Spitfire who was now horrified of what just happened.

More of the henchponies attacked Tammy with baseball bats and knives but they failed for Tammy was too fast and she twirled her wingspan at them knocking them in to the ground.

Tammy now enraged never in her life that she has ever been this angry had one thing on her mind make Spitfire and her Pegasi gang pay with their blood.

Tammy started to bite the some of the Pegasi on the floor in the face ripping their noses off grabbed one of the knives from them and she started to slash their throats and she was so strong that some of the Pegasi were beheaded.

Fleetfoot pulled out a gun and started to shoot at Tammy, but she missed because she was panicking.

"SHOOT HER YOU STUPID COWARD!!!" yelled Spitfire at Fleetfoot.

"I'M TRYING SPITFIRE!!!" yelled back Fleetfoot.

"NONE OF YOU MONSTERS IS ESCAPING FROM ME!!!" yelled Tammy.

Tammy flew towards Fleetfoot and grabs her by the neck and twist her head backwards so fast that Fleetfoot was still alive for a few seconds gagging and choking.

More of the Pegasi fillies jumped at Tammy but she grabbed Fleetfoot's corpse and threw the corpse at them knocking them off their hooves.

"How does feel to be weak now?" asked Tammy as she started to rip apart the Pegasi foals on the ground starting with the wings and then she used the knife to sever their front hooves off.

"How does it feel to be helpless, how does it to feel victimised? I bet you bastards don't like it," said Tammy with a bloody smirk on her face as she looked the bleeding ponies on the ground who were screaming, crying, and calling out for help.

Tammy started to kill them off by either cutting their heads off so fast that the headless bodies were twitching and making moaning, choking, and gurgling sounds for a few seconds as the head were coughing and choking, and some were disemboweled, while other were stomped on to death by Tammy's hooves.

"JUST SLASH SOARIN'S THROAT AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE THAT CREATURE SLAUGHTERS US!!! bellowed Spitfire to her last two henchponies who were holding down Soarin.

"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KILL ANYPONY ELSE EVER AGAIN YOU BASTARDS!!!" bellowed Tammy as she flew at the two henchponies were just about kill Soarin.

Tammy ripped open the belly of one of the henchponies with her teeth and she put her front hoof inside the would and pulled out his beating heart and threw it at Spitfire's face and then she jumped on the other henchpony and ripped his head off and threw that too at Spitfire's face.

Now Spitfire who was now covered in her follower's blood scream in terror and she flew up into the air, but Tammy flew faster than Spitfire and grabbed her wings and said to her "Let's see if you can fly without wings."

Tammy used all of her strength to rip off Spitfire's wings off as Spitfire cried out "PLEASE STOP IT PLEASE!!!"

"WHY THE HELL SHOULD I DO THAT HAVE YOU GAVE ANY MERCY TO ANGEL AND ALL OF YOUR OTHER VICTIMS YOU BEAST!!!" yelled Tammy.

Now Spitfire wingless and bleeding out of her back struggled to break free from Tammy, but then she realised that she was at least 50 feet up in the air and then that is where she realised that she was going to die.

"You will learn to fly without wings even it kills you," said Tammy as she threw Spitfire into the ground.

Tammy flew to the ground and picked up Spitfire who had all of her legs broken crying in agony, flew her up 50 feet in the air and drop her again.

Spitfire now her back was broken and can't feel her back hooves and coughing blood from her mouth cried in agony and spoke very weakly "Please stop this."

"If you keep falling down Spitfire then you might spend the rest of eternity at the bottom of the river just like poor Angel." replied Tammy who was now crying.

Tammy picked up Spitfire and this time it was 70 feet up in the air and said with tears in her eyes "How can you do this Angel he just a baby? There is a special place for you in Tartarus and you can spend the rest of your Hearth Warming Eve vacation down there."

"Please let me go I have learned my lesson," begged Spitfire.

"Yes I will let you go and hopefully you will learn your lesson for your next life," replied Tammy.

"NO DON'T KILL ME!!!" screamed Spitfire as Tammy threw her down into the ground.

Tammy flew down to see Spifire who was now having a convulsion in a puddle of her own blood for a few seconds then she stopped moving and died.

The snow covered bridge was now covered with red snow and dead bodies and body parts.

Tammy walked to Soarin and he saw everything and begged "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT SPITFIRE WAS PLANNING!!!"

Tammy calmed herself down and said "Don't worry I won't kill you and I don't what came over me this strength and anger that I did not know that I have, you are probably think that I am a monster now?"

"No you are not the monster here and I am very sorry about all this and I want to thank you for saving me and you don't have to forgive me for bringing you here," cried Soarin.

"I forgive you after all you had no idea what was really going to happen, but now what are we going to do?" asked Tammy.

"Let's throw the bodies off the bridge and the snow will cover up the blood," said Soarin.

"I suppose after all if Angel is down there so should these bastards too and I did promise Spitfire that if she did not fly then she can join Angel," said Tammy with tears streaming from her eyes.

So both Tammy and Soarin tossed the bodies and their weapons over the bridge into the icy river below.

When all of the bodies were thrown in the river Soarin vomited for all of the body parts he had to touch and throw in the river.

"I'm sorry for puking, but this is all messed up," said Soarin.

"I can barely hold my food in either," replied Tammy.

"Let's pretend that we were never here," said Soarin.

"Right," replied Tammy.

"I have no idea that the team was full of murderers, I guess now that would explain the murders at the Wonderbolts Academy back in Cloudsdale," replied Soarin.

"We should go back to our homes before anypony sees us," said Tammy.

"Right, and I am truly sorry for putting you through this Tammy," replied Soarin.

They both said there goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Tammy went back to her trailer and cried herself to sleep.

The next day the police were at the park questioning everypony there about the Pegasi fillies from Cloudsdale who disappeared the night before.

The parents of the Pegasi fillies remembered hearing about meeting a freak show performer before they left the hotel only one came back early to the hotel claiming to be sick from a flu after he vomited in front of the others.

Tammy freaked out if the police found out about that she was the freak show performer and she now realised that she could not risk staying in the circus anymore, so it was decided that she had to run away.

Tammy said goodbye to her animal friends and fled the park and went to the Ponyville Zoo where she found the access to the sewers of Ponyville in the Crystal World section.

Tammy still knew her way around the sewers since she spent the first three years of her life in them.

The police shut down the circus when they learned that there was criminal activity unrelated to the missing fillies case like drug dealing, muggings, and other crimes committed by the members of the Purple Square Circus some of them fled while some were arrested, the animals got loose when Trixie, Snips, and Snail fled for they were wanted for questioning for some robberies in every town they visited.

Tammy got out of Ponyville and flew through the snowy highway to search for a new life and she spotted a greenhouse on a farm.

She went inside and there were apple trees and she took some of the apples and ate them for she had not eaten for hours.

It seemed that nopony was there, she climbed up to one of the bigger apple trees and slept there till sometime in the night when three ponies came in one was Granny Smith and the two were fillies one was a orange earth pony with a blonde mane named Applejack and the other is a red earth pony with a red mane named Big McIntosh.

"I thought I locked the door," said Granny Smith.

"Nnnnope you didn't," said Big McIntosh.

"Grandma you always have to lock the doors because we might intruders here," said Applejack

"I'm sorry it just I am a little forgetful,' replied Granny Smith.

"Eeeyup it's like somepony got inside look at these apple cores," said Big McIntosh as he point at some of the apple cores on the floor.

"Aay think that it might be some of those vampire bats or those meat eating deer," said Applejack.

"Nnnnope they are extinct and they didn't eat apples, it might be a fugitive or at least some junkie drifter, just let me get the shotgun just in case we got an armed nutcase here," said Big McIntosh as he left the greenhouse.

"Aay am scared Grandma" cried Applejack.

"Don't worry your brother Big Mac is coming with the shotgun soon," said Granny Smith.

Then a couple of minutes later Big Mac came in with the shotgun and said "Eeeyup now let's see who is in here."

The three earth ponies searched the greenhouse till Applejack screamed when she looked up at the one of the apple trees "VAMPIRE BAT!!!"

Then Big Mac and Granny Smith looked up at the apple tree and saw Tammy sleeping.

"AAY TOLD YOU IT WAS A VAMPIRE BAT!!!" yelled Applejack.

"I have seen vampire bats before but this one looks kind of like a Pegasus," said Granny Smith.

"You're right Grandma it's a Pegabat, half bat half pegasus, it is really freaky," said Big Mac.

"Is it going to eat us?" asked Applejack.

"Let's wake it up and see if it want to slaughter us, but I will kill it before it gets close to us," replied Big Mac.

Then Big Mac yelled "WAKE UP!!!"

Tammy awoken to see the three earth ponies on the ground with one of them pointing a shotgun at her.

"PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME!!!" cried out Tammy.

Then the three earth ponies said together "It speaks!?"

"Yes I do speak and please don't shoot," said Tammy.

"Are you going to kill and eat us?" asked Applejack.

"No I just eat apples," replied Tammy.

"Why you a young mare have these batwings and teeth?" asked Granny Smith.

"I am not sure why I am like this but all I know is that I was born like this," said Tammy in a sad tone.

"How old are you?" asked Granny Smith.

"I am 10 years old," replied Tammy.

"You are about the same age as my granddaughter, and that is the year of that dreadful chemical plant explosion that made those fruit bats and deer into meat eating killers, I bet that has something to do with your deformity," said Granny Smith.

"I heard about that and I too think it has something to do with me being born as a freak, and I really wish that I knew my parents for they must know why I am like this," said Tammy as she started to cry.

"Aay don't trust you and knowing bats they are just going to wait for us to go to sleep so they can slaughter us," said Big Mac.

"I am not a bat, I am a pony at least I think I am," replied Tammy.

"What is your name?" asked Applejack.

"I don't know my real name, but some ponies call me Tammy," replied Tammy.

"Well Tammy I still don't trust you and nopony is going to hurt my family especially freaky Pegabats like you," said Big Mac.

"I'm sorry for coming in your greenhouse but I was really hungry and I have no place to go and the past two days have been horrible," cried Tammy.

"You can stay here for now," said Granny Smith.

"Thank you very much," said Tammy happily as black bile started to come out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry this sometimes happens when I get excited," said Tammy in a embarrassing tone as she wiped her chin with her front hoof.

"Very well if Granny says that you can stay then I guess you can stay," said Big Mac.

"So aay am going to have a new friend now." said Applejack.

Tammy thought to herself "I hope these ponies don't hurt me later and this word Pegabat interests me it describes me perfectly."

So the four ponies left the greenhouse and went to the large farmhouse on the property.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 3 and please stay tuned for Chapter 4 where we learn more about Fluttershy's past.

Chapter 4

The four ponies went inside the large mansion and in front of the large staircase stood and very young light grayish olive earth pony filly with a red mane named Applebloom.

"Just great our baby sister is awake," said Applejack in a annoyed tone.

"What are you doing up Applebloom?" asked Big Mac.

"I was thirsty Big Mac and I was on my way back to bed," said Applebloom and then she notice Tammy and asked "Who is that?"

"Well this is Tammy and she is going to be staying with us for a while and this is my youngest granddaughter Applebloom," said Granny Smith.

"Hello Applebloom," greeted Tammy.

"You look weird," replied Applebloom.

"Forgive Applebloom she is only 5 years old," said Applejack.

"It's alright I have been called a lot worse and it is not everyday you see anypony like me," said Tammy.

"Alright let's go upstairs now," said Big Mac.

So Tammy and the three earth ponies went up the stairs, both Granny Smith and Big Mac went with Applebloom to her bedroom while Applejack took Tammy to the guest bedroom.

"Here is your room and you can make yourself comfortable and the tv is here," said Applejack.

"Thank you," replied Tammy.

"Have a goodnight Tammy," said Applejack as she left the room.

"I wonder what's on tv right now," said Tammy to herself as she grabbed the tv remote from the night table and turned on the tv.

The tv turned on and there on the screen was the news, there the reporter said "The Ponyville Police Department declared the Sparkle murder case cold for there has not been any leads to the murder suspect who gunned down wealthy aristocrats Night Light Sparkle and his wife Twilight Velvet last month."

"And their orphaned fillies Shining Amour and Twilight Sparkle who witnesses the murders left today for Canterlot with their godmother Her Imperial Majesty Empress Luna who was staying at Sparkle Manor since the murders last month."

"In other news the police have confirmed that Pinkamena Diane Pie the only suspect in the Cupcake Killings was released yesterday for lack of evidence," then the tv screen cut to a mugshot of Pinkamena and she had a deranged look on her face.

"There is something truly wrong with her. Why she turned into a clown while everypony else was turned into floating heads and eyeballs? Something is telling me that there is something about her and she seems to be crazy enough to be the Cupcakes Killer." said Tammy as she shooked from chill in her spine from seeing Pinkamena's unsettling image on the tv.

Then the tv screen went back to the news reporter and he continued "In other news while investigating the missing Wonderbolts Team members the police uncovered unrelated criminal activity in the Purple Square Circus, many of the circus members have already fled, and still no leads in the missing fillies case."

"The only Wonderbolt Team member who did not vanished Soarin says that he was glad that he got the flu or he might ended up like his friends."

"Thanks Soarin," said Tammy.

The News reporter continued "In other news Emperor Sombra of the Crystal Empire has threatened war with Equestria again and in a statement he said "The Crystal Empire will open the gates of Tartarus on Equestria if their corrupt empress does give in to my demands."

The News Reporter continues "The relations between the Equestrian Empire and the Crystal Empire have hit a new low ever since Emperor Sombra escaped from his imprisonment 20 years ago and began a military build up that threatens Equestria, and Empress Luna made a counter statement saying "The Equestrian Empire will not tolerate the Crystal Empire's aggressive behavior and it would be a fatal mistake if Emperor Sombra decides to go war with me."

"And that concludes tonight's news broadcast so goodnight," said the News Reporter as the broadcast ended only to have a tv show to come up next.

"Wow I guess that Spitfire and her gang are not the only psychos in this world," remarked Tammy.

It was about music videos and there the host a young white unicorn with a light blue mane wearing sunglasses appeared said "Hello everypony it's me Vinyl Scatch host of the DJ Pon-3 Show and today's show we have a special guest, he is a upcoming singer who just made his first hit single, please let's give a warm welcome to Cheese Sandwich."

Then came a young gamboge earth pony with a dark brown mane wearing glasses came on stage waving happily at the audience and the tv cameras.

"I am so happy to be on this show and now I shall my first hit Hearth Warming Eve In Ground Zero and I got inspired to write this song when I was watching the news."

Then he sang the song as the music band behind him and Vinyl Scratch started to play.

"It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
While the air raid sirens blare

It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test

Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It's the end of all ponanity
No more time for last-minute shopping
It's time to face your final destiny

It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath the mushroom cloud

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill

It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
And if the radiation level's okay
I'll go out with you and see all the new
Mutations on New Year's Day

It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe

It's Hearth Warming Eve at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday

What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!"

Then Cheese Sandwich bowed to the audience as they cheered at his song and he said "Thank you for liking my song, and I would also like to thank the band for playing for me and have a Merry Christmas," and then he left the stage.

"What a funny colt," said Tammy.

"Ooookay well that was interesting and now I have some very special guests the Fancy Band," said Vinyl.

"Yay, I love their music and Lyra is such a interesting pony," said Tammy.

Then came several ponies lead by a goldish gray earth pony with a dark gray mane holding a violin named Octavia Melody, a piano playing earth colt with a brown coat and a white mane named Frederic Horseshoepin, a light greenish gray earth pony with a blue mane with fuschia stripes named Sweetie Drops, and a very light aquamarine unicorn with a pale grayish cyan mane with white stripes who had metal claws made out of scissors where her front hooves should be and she had small dark circles in her eyes named Lyra Heartrings.

"Try not to scratch the floor Lyra it just got waxed," said Vinyl.

"I'm sorry," replied Lyra and then she stood up on her two hinds legs walk towards Vinyl.

"So where did you learn to walk like that Lyra?" asked Vinyl.

"From my father the late Dr. Gerald Robotnik he was not from this world," replied Lyra.

"I hear of him was he was from planet Earth and he was a favourite of the Empress and what do you mean him as your father he was not a pony like us," said Vinyl.

"Well he made me and he was the only father I knew," said Lyra.

"Why do you have those scissors for hooves Lyra?" asked Vinyl.

"I was originally a robot that was used to cut lettuce and he was about to give me hands before he died so I am stuck like this," replied Lyra sadly.

"At least you had a loving father that cared for you unlike me," said Tammy.

"Oookay then so this band is going to play a Concerto for us," said Vinyl.

"Alright let's begin," said Octavia.

Then the band got to their instruments as Octavia grabbed her cello, Frederic went to the piano, and Lyra used her unicorn magic to lift up her harp and walk towards her microphone. But then she tripped on a wire and accidentally touched the microphone with her scissorhooves electrocuting her unconscious.

"HOLY SHIT CUT TO A COMMERCIAL NOW!!!" screamed Vinyl as Octavia and the camera crew and the music band rushed to Lyra as she lay on the floor unconscious.

Then the tv cut to a preview of a comedy show starring a colt with glasses whose catch phrase is "I'll buy that for a bit," that was coming up next.

"I hope Lyra is alright,' said Tammy in a worried tone.

Then The DJ Pon-3 Show came back on and Lyra was conscious but still shaking from the shock and a nervous looking Vinyl said to the audience "Sorry about that accident and it looks like we are out of time see you all next week."

"Thank goodness Lyra is alright," said Tammy happily and then the show ended and Tammy continued watching tv.

In an another room Big Mac was on the phone calling the police "I would like to report an intruder on the property and she looks very dangerous, I think she is some sort of monster it's like she is half bat just come here at the Apple Estate now."

"Eeeyup no monster is going to hurt my family I lost my parents to a car accident and I am not going to lose my sisters and grandmother to some freak," said Big Mac.

Then about 30 minutes later the police came to the Apple Estate and knocked on the front door where Big Mac let them in and told where Tammy was "The freak is in the guest bedroom upstairs use deadly force if you have to."

The sound of armed police colts awoken the other members of the Apple family.

Granny Smith, Applejack, and Applebloom went to the top of the staircase only to see the police running up the staircase and Big Mac standing near the front door with a smurk on his face.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING IN HERE?!!!" yelled Applejack.

"I am saving this family that's what going on," replied Big Mac.

"Saving us from what?" asked Applejack.

"I am saving us from that thing from the greenhouse," said Big Mac.

"You mean Tammy?" asked Applejack.

"Eeeyup that freak and I know that she is going to slaughter us when we are all asleep," replied Big Mac.

"You can be very heartless and stupid Big Mac just like when you sold Winona to that crook Filthy Rich which last week the poor dog got hit by Filthy's limo," said Applejack angrily.

"I HAVE TO PROTECT THIS FAMILY AND I AM NOT GOING RISK OUR SAFETY OVER SOME WEIRDO WHO BROKE INTO OUR GREENHOUSE!!! yelled Big Mac.

Then Tammy came out of her room to see the what was going on only to be greet by the well armed police colts only to be shot at by them, but luckily for Tammy the police colts missed her.

Tammy flew above the police colts in the hallway and head towards the Apples yelling "WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME?!!!

"Eeeyup they are going to end you freak nopony is going to hurt my family," replied Big Mac.

"Why would I want to hurt them?," said Tammy as tears rolled from her eyes.

"IT WAS ALL BIG MAC'S STUPID IDEA TO CALL THE POLICE!!!" screamed Applejack as she punched Big Mac in the face.

"INGRATEFUL BITCH I AM ONLY PROTECTING YOU FROM THAT THING!!! yelled back Big Mac as his nose bled.

Applebloom cried out loud while Granny Smith seemed to be zoned out to her old age.

"Just because I look like a freak does not mean that I am out to hurt everypony that I meet," cried Tammy.

The police spotted Tammy and opened fire and one bullet grazed her right back, but Tammy jumped over the Apple family and flew out the front door where more police colts opened fire on her. Tammy flew out into the snowy night as police chased her until they lost her in the snowy forest.

Tammy collapsed on the snow covered ground crying out "WHY CAN'T ANYPONY SHOW SOME KINDNESS TO ME!!!"

Tammy cried for a couple of hours saying to herself "Is everypony out to hurt me? Even my own parents wanted me dead throwing me away like a piece of garbage in the sewer. I am not a monster and yet the so called normal ponies are the real monsters. Poor Angel you are in a better place than I am now."

Tammy walked in the dark forest hoping to find some shelter, the wound on her leg was not serious, and she found a old abandoned cottage. It looked like nopony lived there for years but it had a solar panel on the roof.

Tammy went inside and turned on the lights and the cottage still have working electricity.

"At least here nopony is going to shoot me and what am I going to do with myself now?"

Tammy would go the nearest farms at night to take food especially fruit, but avoiding the Apple Estate. Sometimes she would be spotted by a farmer and rarely get shot at.

And she would make friends with the local animals of the forest. She would look after them for they were now the only company she has now.

Sometimes Tammy would go back to Ponyville for supplies and medicine for herself and the animals of course she was forced to break into stores when they were closed since she had no money and even if she did nopony would want to even be near her and nopony would want to hire somepony like her. Sometimes Tammy would be seen by somepony in a back alley or a store employee and they all just run off screaming.

Luckily the tv in the cottage still worked and Tammy watched her favourite shows like the DJ Pon-3 Show and the news which was mostly about the high crime rate in Ponyville or the rising tensions between the Equestrian and Crystal Empires, and sometimes the news would be about her. The news would talk about the sightings of a half bat half pony creature scaring farmers which the name the media liked to use a lot was the Pegabat. Therefore Tammy was not out of touch with the current events and she would often say to herself that maybe it was for the best that she lived alone away from rest of ponity.

For the next 5 years Tammy would live like this until the December day in the Crystal Empire invaded Equestria.

Tammy was watching tv when a special news alert came and interrupted the normal programming and the news reporter announced with a shocked looked on his face saying "Breaking news today the Crystal Empire without warning invaded Equestria. The Crystal Imperial Army came into Equestria ravaging every city they encountered leaving a trail of destruction and death, numerous reports of systematic killings, rapes and other war crimes are coming in from ponies fleeing the cities that are under attack from the Crystal Empire."

The tv screen cut to the city of Appleloosa, it was a grotesque sight dead ponies everywhere some of them were in pieces and some of them were charred, buildings and houses bombed and even the hospital was bombed. Then the Equestrian Imperial Army came in some soldiers were on foot while some were in tanks, then the tv cameras followed them till the Equestrian army encountered the Crystal army and then a battle broke out bullets and missiles flying everywhere and there were many deaths from both sides.

One of the missiles from a Crystal tank hit the camera crew and the tv screen went static for a few seconds before the tv went back to the news reporter who now looked like he was about to vomit.

"It seems that our camera crew got attacked by the Crystal army and now Her Imperial Majesty Empress Luna will make a statement, then the tv screen cut to Empress Luna who was seated behind a large desk in her office at Canterlot the window behind her showed the Canterlot skyline. Her demeanor was filled with genuine anger and it looked like she had trouble keeping her cool as she began her speech.

"My subjects I am equally outraged and disgusted by these ghastly events as everpony. The Crystal Empire will be punished for all of the evil committed today. Emperor Sombra thinks he can win this war he is fatally mistaken for the might of the Equestrian Empire is stronger than his bandit army of rapist and filly murderers."

Then Empress Luna pounded her front hooves on the desk with tears in her eyes continued her speech except now her voice was loud and she was basically yelling "WE SHALL SMITE AND DESTROY THAT RAT SOMBRA, WE WILL CRUSH THE CRYSTAL SCUM, WE WILL HUNT DOWN EVERY CRYSTAL RAT SOLDIER THAT IS IN EQUESTRIA AND SEND THEM TO TARTARUS!!!"

Then the enraged Empress Luna raise her right hoof upwards in the air and screamed "EQUESTRIA HAIL VICTORY!!!"

Then tv screen went back to the news reporter and he said "It is official it is war, the Crystal Empire has invade Equestria and our beloved Empress is not going to let the Crystal menace to get away with it." Then the news reporter stood up and raised his right hoof upwards in the air and yelled "HAIL MY EMPRESS LUNA THEE!!!"

Tammy was now shaking with fear she never had been this scared before, not since the night Angel was killed and the night she was chased out of the Apple Estate by the police five years earlier.

"How can anypony do something like that? This Emperor Sombra is a monster, a demon, he is not a pony. I hope his army does not reach Ponyville." said Tammy with tears in her eyes.

Then a loud explosion came from outside and Tammy looked out the window saw a fleet of airships in the snowing sky, and coming from the forest an army of tanks came rolling in, and then there were soldiers marching on foot and this scared Tammy for they were not Equestrian soldiers for they were semi transparent, they were Crystal soldiers.

"I got to get out of here before they butcher me," said Tammy.

And as Tammy reached for the front door a group of four Crystal soldiers kicked open the front door and the leading officer of them yelled "ANYPONY HOME?!!!" then they spotted Tammy.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU FREAK?!!! screamed one of the Crystal soldiers.

"I really wish I could tell you, but I would like to know that myself and I am just a former freak show performer living here by myself that's all." replied Tammy in a nervous tone.

"Oh well let's take her home in the Crystal Empire and study her, but first let's have some fun," said the leading officer of the group and then he barked to the other Crystal soldiers with a sinister grin on his face "Hold her down while I mount her first and we shall take turns."

And as the three Crystal soldiers jumped on Tammy she screamed "GET OFF OF ME YOU CRYSTAL SHITS!!!" and expanded her bat like wings sending the soldiers to the other side of the living room.

"YOU ARE COMING WITH US WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT FREAK!!!" yelled the commanding officer as he pointed his machine gun at Tammy.

"MAKE ME YOU TRANSPARENT FILLED UP GARBAGE BAG!!! screamed Tammy who was now enraged.

"YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET INSULTING ME AN OFFICER OF THE GREAT CRYSTAL IMPERIAL ARMY YOU MONSTER!!! yelled the officer.

"HA ALL I SEE IS A BUNCH UNIFORMED BARBARIANS THAT VIOLATES ANYPONY AND ANYTHING THAT COME IN FRONT OF THEM!!!" screamed Tammy.

"DIE YOU EQUESTRIAN BEAST!!!" yelled the officer as he began firing his machine gun, but Tammy quickly jumped up in the ceiling and the bullets instead hit one of the Crystal Soldiers who just got up after being knocked out by Tammy killing him. The other two soldiers got up, but one got jumped on by Tammy and he tried to fire his pistol at Tammy, but Tammy chewed off his right front hoof off quickly and grabbed his gun and shot him in the face a few times.

The officer and fired his machine gun again and so did the other soldier with his pistol, but Tammy was to quick and she jumped behind the soldier and shot him in the back of his neck, drowning him in his own blood.

"I'LL SEND TO TARTARUS YOU DEMON!!!" screamed the Crystal officer.

"Not before I send you there first you miserable cowardly rapist," said Tammy with a grin on her face that bared her sharp teeth and she was drooling both blood from one of the Crystal soldiers and her own black bile from her mouth.

Then Tammy flew towards the officer so fast that he could not fire his machine gun again. Tammy grabs the machine gun and fire it at his crotch till she ran out of bullets and the officer screamed in agony. "SHUT UP YOU CRY FILLY!!!" Tammy screamed and then she hits him with the machine gun in his face until his face was no longer recognisable.

Tammy runs out the front door and saw that the Equestrian army have arrived and there was a battle in the forest and many of her animal friends were killed.

Tammy flew across the snowy battlefield dodging bullets and bombs and some of the soldiers from both sides saw her and they all screamed.

Once Tammy got out of the forest into the highway which was now filled with burnt cars, blown up tanks, and many dead bodies, some were Crystal soldiers, some were Equestrian soldiers, and a lot of civilian ponies who were just trying to get away from the battle.

Tammy then saw the Ponyville skyline and there was a lot of fires in the skyscrapers and two fleets of airships were firing missiles at each other, Ponyville itself was now a war zone, but Tammy had no choice but to go there for the chances of survival were slimmer in the forest. And so Tammy flew into the entrance of Ponyville's sewer system at the frozen Ponyville river as she flew in the sewers she could hear loud explosions, guns firing bullets, and ponies screaming.

Tammy found went up the manhole in a part of Ponyville that was unusually quiet and she found herself in a snow covered street that was filled many dead ponies and more burnt cars and destroyed tanks and all of the buildings in the street were either burning or had there windows smashed. Tammy looked inside of the ruined stores and found more dead ponies, civilians and soldiers from both sides.

Tammy just collapse on the floor crying hysterically for an hour and then she flew to another part of Ponyville and there was the Equestrian army evacuating the Ponyville ponies in buses that were heading towards Cloudsdale.

Tammy recognises one of the Equesrian soldiers that was directing ponies to go to the buses it was Soarin and he was with a very light cerulean Pegasus with a rainbow mane named Rainbow Dash who was helping him with the evacuation.

"We have to make sure that all of the population of Ponyville goes safely to Cloudsdale for the Crystal Empire has not attacked that city yet," said Soarin.

"Yes Captain, Cloudsdale is a fortress city those Crystal barbarians will have a hard time attacking the city since it is the heart of the Equestrian Imperial Air Force," replied Rainbow Dash.

"Let's hope we don't get attacked on the way to the airport these psychos seem to enjoy slaughtering civilians," said Soarin.

"I must go to Cloudsdale, but I don't want to scare anypony, I'll follow the buses to the airport," said Tammy and as the buses drove off Tammy flew behind them to the airport. The airport was in ruins some of the planes have been destroyed, but there were still some planes working and airships.

Tammy saw some of the rich ponies that she knew from the news were waiting outside of a small private plane, a light grey unicorn with a light azure mane named Fancy Pants who is a wealthy aristocrat, his girlfriend a white unicorn with a light mangentaish grey mane named Fluer Dis Lee a famous supermodel. Tammy then sees Filthy Rich, Diamond Tiara, Prince Blueblood and Pinkamena Diane Pie the ponies she saw at the circus five years earlier. The way Blueblood and Pinkamena acted was like they were coltfriend and girlfriend and this surprised Tammy.

But then two pegasi got out of a limo and joined the rest of the group and this sent shivers to Tammy's spine for it was Tucker Cobblewing and his wife Esther. Tammy was once again unsettled by the way Esther looked for she still looked exactly like Tammy but without the bat like deformities, the same yellow coat and pink mane.

"About time you two showed up we have been waiting here for twenty minutes we got to go to Canterlot now," said Blueblood.

"I'm sorry Blueblood but it is hard getting past the destruction and carnage," replied Tucker.

"Alright then let's go," said Prince Blueblood said.

"Do you have to bring that little psycho with you Blueblood?" asked Fancy Pants.

"She is my marefriend and she comes with me," said Blueblood.

"You better be nice to me Fancy or I will cut your ears off and force feed them to Fluer that bimbo you are sleeping with," said Pinkamena with a creepy grin on her face.

Fleur snapped back "Well at least I am not a psychotic cannibal like you Pinkamena."

"Calm down Pinkie Pie you have to forgive Fancy for he has hoof in mouth disease," said Blueblood.

"That's a good one Blueblood," said Filthy.

"It's true Fancy really does have a problem keeping his hoof out of his mouth," said Tucker.

"Yes he does," said Esther.

"Fancy is silly,' replied Diamond.

"Let's go to Canterlot now," said Bluebood and then as the whole group went inside of the plane Fleur says to Fancy "Why we have to go with them? All of them are awful and that Blueblood is actually sleeping with that lunatic Pinkamena The Cupcakes Killer he always makes sure that she stays out of the insane asylum where she really belongs."

"I know but there are no other planes left for Canterlot and once we get to Canterlot we are not staying with them." said Fancy.

Then the plane took off and Tammy felt weird after seeing those rich ponies only Fancy and Fluer did not creep her out but everypony else especially Pinkie Pie and the Cobblewing couple creeped her out the most.

"Were those two snobs my parents? That mare looks just like me. I'll have to worry about that later I got to find a way to Cloudsdale," said Tammy.

And then Tammy saw large crates being loaded onboard a airship along with the ponies who were coming out of the buses. And then Soarin and Rainbow Dash came out of the buses and directed the ponies to the airship.

"Get all the supplies onboard the airship," ordered Soarin to the soldiers who were loading the crates.

Tammy flew down and snucked inside one of the crates filled with medical supplies. The crate gets loaded to the airship.

"I never been to Cloudsdale before," said Tammy.

The airship lifted up in the air, Soarin, Rainbow Dash and the other pegasi soldiers flew outside of the airship to protect it and so the airship's journey to Cloudsdale begins.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 4 stay tuned for Chapter 5 where Tammy goes to Cloudsdale.

Chapter 5

Soarin and Rainbow fought off Crystal pegasi soldiers who were attacking the airship with bazookas and some of them tried to land on the airship, but the Equestrian troops aboard the airship fought them off. Tammy could hear the battle from outside of the airship, the sounds of explosions and machine gun fire were very loud as well as the screams of the ponies aboard.

"Please make those Crystal monsters go away," Tammy mumbled nervously to herself.

Then the loud noises stopped for the battle was over, the airship was now far away from the Crystal air fleet.

Soarin and Rainbow Dash flew back inside the airship victorious.

"Those demented bastards, they just love killing anything that moves in front of them," said Soarin angrily.

"I know, they make me sick, oh sweet Luna the carnage I saw today will give me nightmares for the rest of my life, especially all those dead fillies at the pediatric wing of the hospital. EVEN HOSPITALS ARE NOT SAFE FROM THESE SONS OF BITCHES!!! THEY BLEW UP THE HOSPITALS!!! THEY EVEN WENT AND SHOT AND STABBED THE PATIENTS ON THEIR BEDS!!! EVEN THE FILLIES!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE CRYSTAL PONIES?!!!" cried Rainbow Dash who was in tears.

"I wish I knew, but one thing is for sure that these psychos are going to have a very hard time attacking Cloudsdale and we shall personally send legions of those monsters to Tartarus if they dare come after Cloudsdale," said Soarin.

"I am going to check on the supplies just in case there are bombs or stowaways on board so I leave you in charge for now Rainbow" said Soarin.

"Yes sir," replied Rainbow Dash.

Soarin went to the supply room and he began opening all of the crates to see anything unusual inside them.

Tammy shooked quietly in fear if Soarin found her and his reaction would be unpleasant. So Soarin opened up every crate and found nothing suspicious and then he went to the last crate. The very crate Tammy was hiding in.

Soarin opens the crate and finds a very scared Tammy who was now drooling black bile from her mouth.

"Oh my sweet Luna it's you Tammy," said a surprised Soarin.

"I'm sorry for being a stowaway but this was the only way I could get away from those Crystal monsters," said Tammy.

"It's alright Tammy," replied Soarin.

"They broke into my cottage outside of town in the woods, they killed my animal friends. THEY EVEN TRIED TO RAPE ME AND TAKE ME AWAY TO A LAB!!! cried Tammy.

"How did you escaped from those Crystal bastards?" asked Soarin,

"I fought and killed my way out of my cottage, it was just like that night at the Ponyville River Bridge all over again." replied Tammy.

Soarin gives Tammy a big hug and says "As long as I live nopony is going to hurt you. And I think that it would be best that you come and live with me."

"You mean it?" asked Tammy.

"Yes I mean it. You are staying with me in my home in Cloudsdale." replied Soarin.

"You are truly the most kind pony that I have ever knew. Giving me a place to stay," said Tammy.

"Not all ponies are depraved monsters and I think that you are going to love in my place," said Soarin.

"What about your friends and family? Will they accept me being with you?" asked Tammy.

"Once I explain to them they will accept you," replied Soarin.

"Alright," said Tammy.

"I have to talk to Lt. Rainbow Dash though, but she will understand," said Soarin.

"Okay," said Tammy.

"I got to go now. I will be back soon, just stay here till I come back alright," said Soarin as he left the room.

Soarin finds Rainbow Dash in a hallway.

"Rainbow I need to speak to you about something important that I found in the supply room, more specifically somepony," said Soarin.

"What? You mean somepony got inside of the airship in one of those supply crates? Let me guess a Crystal saboteur out to cause trouble, right Soarin?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"No she is not a Crystal saboteur, she came to this airship after her home was attacked by those crystal scum," replied Soarin.

"Then why she went inside of the airship with the supplies instead of coming in with the rest of the evacuees?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"That's because she does not want to scare everypony else, that's why," said Soarin.

"What's so scary about her?" asked Rainbow.

"You may not going believe me, but it is the Pegabat," replied Soarin.

"You know if it were not for the security cameras in the grocery stores and pharmacies that her on tape, I would not have believe that she existed. And also I would not believe that story of how you met her on the day Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts disappeared," replied Rainbow "Is she dangerous?"

"No she is actually quite gentle and what I said about Spitfire and everything else is true," said Soarin.

"Well that explains why the murder rate dropped in the part of Cloudsdale where Wonderbolts Academy is," said Rainbow.

"I told Tammy to stay in my house in Cloudsdale. She has nowhere to go and I would like her to stay in my quarters for the rest of the trip," replied Soarin.

"I would like to meet this Tammy?' asked Rainbow.

"Of course, follow me," said Soarin.

The two pegasi went the supply room where Tammy was. When Rainbow Dash sees Tammy she gasped to see the Pegabat Mare in person "Oh my sweet Luna."

"This is my second in command and friend Rainbow Dash," said Soarin to Tammy. Then he turns to Rainbow "This is Tammy."

"Hello Rainbow Dash," said Tammy in a timid tone as she nervously grabbed her mane.

"Hello Tammy," replied Rainbow who looked curiously at Tammy.

"Well now you two met now can you get Tammy to my quarters unseen?" asked Soarin to Rainbow.

"I'll just put her in a crate and send it to your quarters," replied Rainbow.

"Alright," said Tammy.

Then Tammy went to a empty crate and it was wheeled in to Soarin's quarters. It was like an apartment with the living room window that overlooked the snowing sky and the rest of the other airships and planes.

Soarin and Rainbow opened the crate to let Tammy out.

When Tammy came of the crate she was overwhelmed by the luxuriousness of Soarin's quarters.

"Wow this is really fancy not even my cottage was this fancy," said Tammy in a excited tone.

"Well this is just a officer's room, it is not Canterlot Castle," replied Soarin.

"It's like a fancy hotel room that I only see in movies and tv. I never been in a place like this before," said Tammy.

"Where did you live Tammy?" asked Rainbow.

"In a cottage in the forest, but it was attacked by Crystal soldiers and many of the animals I looked after there were killed," replied Tammy sadly.

"I never met anypony like you before," said Rainbow.

"That's because I am the only pony like this. I think it is a congenital deformity," said Tammy.

"I think we should get back to work. You never know when those psychos might attack us again," said Soarin.

"Yes sir," said Rainbow.

"Make yourself at home Tammy. I will be back in a while," said Soarin as he and Rainbow left Tammy alone in Soarin's quarters.

Tammy went to sit on a couch that faced the window. All of the airships and planes were now above the snowing clouds and it was now nighttime. The moon was full and the stars were sparkling very brightly.

Tammy said to herself about seeing the night sky above the clouds "After all the nightmarish things I saw today, I would never expect to see such a beautiful sight."

Then Tammy turned on the tv and it was just news about the Crystal Empire's surprise invasion on Equestria.

The news reporter says "The death count alone in Ponyville is over 3000, but the death toll could be as high as 10,000."

The news reporter continues "Most of the airships and planes made it out of Ponyville safely but couple of airships were shot down. Each of them carrying 300 ponies at least so the death toll might be over 600."

"The Equestrian Imperial Army is still battling the Crystal invaders in Ponyville and other besieged cities and towns throughout Equestria."

"Canterlot, Cloudsdale and the other cities that are behind the frontlines are on high alert as Empress Luna declares a nation wide state of emergency."

Tammy's stomach turned and she drooled black bile form her mouth and got some of it on Soarin's couch.

Then Tammy got worried "Oh no. I hope Soarin does not get mad at me for this,"

Then Soarin comes back in the room and says "We will be arriving at Cloudsdale Airport very shortly."

"I'm so sorry for making your couch dirty, you see when I get upset sometimes I drool black bile uncontrollably," said Tammy.

"Yes I remember that when we first met and don't worry about it," replied Soarin.

"Ten thousand dead in Ponyville is that true?" asked Tammy.

"I am afraid so and if the intelligence that I am receiving is correct at least one million ponies were killed today nation wide," said Soarin with a somber look on his face.

"Why is the Crystal Empire doing this?' asked Tammy.

"Because the Crystal Empire is ruled by a demonic son of a bitch and whose army is entirely composed of sadistic rapists and filly killers, that's why," said Soarin.

"That sounds like Spitfire and her gang," replied Tammy.

"You are absolutely correct about that, except on a larger scale" said Soarin.

"They even share the same lust for blood of helpless animals, they shot my animal friends in the forest for fun," cried Tammy.

Then Soarin walks towards the window and says "It looks like we are already here in Cloudsdale."

Then Tammy walks towards the window and sees a city in the clouds with skyscrapers, white spirals and pillars.

"It's so breathtakingly wonderful," said Tammy.

"Cloudsdale was built by pegasi and thank to modern technology anypony can travel there easily," said Soarin.

"Will Cloudsdale be safe from the Crystla Empire?" asked Tammy.

"Yes it will be safe after all it is where the Wonderbolts Academy is. The city is guarded by the best of Equestria's military. Those Crystal fucks will have a hard time if they dare try to attack Cloudsdale," replied Soarin.

Then Rainbow Dash comes in the room "Captain we are now approaching Cloudsdale."

"I know, tell everypony to prepare for our arrival and make sure that this crate goes to my house." orders Soarin.

"Yes sir," replied Rainbow as she saluted him with a raise right hoof and then she left Soarin's quarters.

"It's time for you to get back into that crate," said Soarin.

"Alright," said Tammy as she went back inside of the crate.

The crate was wheeled out of Soarin's quarters by Soarin. Tammy could still see through the cracks of the crate. She sees hundreds of ponies in the airship leaving. Once outside of the airship Tammy sees thousands of ponies leaving the other airships and planes, but plane caught attention, and it was Prince Blueblood's private plane. All of it's passengers were off and Prince Blueblood was arguing with the pilot and the military officials greeting him and he others. Soarin stops to catch his breath.

"I wanted to go to Canterlot, HOW DARE YOU FUCKING PEASENTS ORDER ME TO LAND HERE!!!" yelled Prince Blueblood.

"I'm sorry your highness, but the Empress herself gave orders to have all evacuees from Ponyville to be sent to Cloudsdale, no exceptions," replied one of the military officers.

"I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT WHAT MY AUNT SAYS, NOPONY HAS THE RIGHT TO ORDER ME AROUND!!! yelled Prince Blueblood as he stomped angrily his hooves in the ground.

"DADDY WHY ARE WE HERE INSTEAD OF CANTERLOT?" cried Diamond Tiara as she held Winona's leash.

"The Empress thought it would be safer for us to stay in Cloudsdale for now Diamond," replied Filthy Rich.

"It is sad that are stuck with these the rest of the unwashed masses," said Tucker.

"Indeed it is sad infact it is quite beneath us," replied Esther.

"I'm bored. And I hope your aunt does not send us to the refugee camps too," said Pinkie Pie.

"She better not,' said Blueblood.

"WILL ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GROW UP!!!" screamed Fluer.

"Indeed you all act like a bunch of spoiled fillies except for Diamond because she is an actual spoiled filly, and you should be grateful that we got out of Ponyville alive" said Fancy Pants.

"ARE YOU INSULTING ME?!!!" yelled Diamond.

"Well you should not have kicked my seat for the whole trip," said Fancy.

"SCREW YOU!!!" yelled Diamond as she kicked Winona, the poor dog just yelped and cowered in the floor.

"Blueblood keep your psycho lover of your under control, she was giving me weird looks and waving that knife around," said Fluer.

Then a earth pony with a bluish gray coat and a dark gray mane named Silver Shill comes out of the plane carrying some luggage.

"You are just jealous that I am with Prince Blueblood and you are with that nopony Fancy," replied Pinkie.

"Why should I be jealous of you Pinkie? Blueblood is a crooked and arrogant son of a bitch so you can keep him you mental patient," said Fluer.

"You are nothing but a miserable trophy wife Fluer and nothing more," replied Pinkie.

In a fit of rage Fluer charges at Pinkie and then Silver Shill rushes to Pinkie's and hold a gun at Fluer.

"You better watch yourself Fluer because I will mutilate your face before I end you," said Pinkie in a threatening and creepy tone.

"Blueblood put a muzzle on that bitch Pinkie and her trigger happy pet Silver," said Fancy.

"HOW DARE YOU ORDER ME!!!," screamed Blueblood.

"Excuse me but I am not the one who is sleeping with a cannibalistic lunatic. And by the way you should be careful with Pinkie because if you betray her she will turn you into a cupcake literally," said Fancy.

"Just piss off you lowly imbecile," replied Blueblood.

"I think it as time for we go our separate ways," said Fancy.

"Yes let's leave these horrible excuses for ponies, and the only good company that I have throughout the flight is Winona the dog. I feel very sorry for Winona, poor thing having spinal problems ever since Filthy hit her with that limo. It is highly unlikely that Winona is going to have a natural death. not the way both Filthy and Diamond treat her" replied Fluer.

Then a bluish gray earth pony with a blue violet mane wearing a helmet with a spike on top of it named Maud Pie comes to greet Blueblood and the others.

"I heard that you are giving some of the military officers problems," said Maud Pie.

"Those fools should know better that it is not proper to order a prince like me around," replied Blueblood.

"The Empress herself ordered everypony to come here, and she even mentioned you by name," said Maud.

"Luna is a big meanie," said Pinkie.

"Hello sister," said Maud glumly.

"Hello General Maud Pie the pride and joy of the Pie family," said Pinkie sarcastically.

"I see that you are still with Prince Blueblood, Pinkamena. And we are the last of the Pie family. I know father was insane and what he did to you and us was wrong and it is very sad to see you in the mental state that you are in. You have father's madness and it is very obvious that you are his daughter" said Maud in a sad tone.

"So are you Maud," snarled Pinkie.

"But I at least made something out of myself and what did you do? Become Blueblood personal assassin," said Maud.

"But one day I will be a princess, you boring stick in the mud with a rock fetish," said Pinkie angrily.

"Father was a bastard but you should not grow up to be like him, a sick serial killer. And remember he tried to kill you when I shot him after he murdered the rest of our family" said Maud sadly.

"SCREW YOU!!!" yelled Pinkie.

"Why are we doing here General, please explain yourself," said Blueblood.

"I am going to say this once your highness, the Empress has ordered everypony to stay in Cloudsale for the time being. And if any of you cause any more problems here, I will arrest you," said Maud.

"Fine,' snarled Blueblood as he gave Maud a nasty look. A look that made Blueblood looked as so if he wanted to tear Maud's throat open with his teeth.

"Can we please come with you. We don't want to stay with them," pleaded Fluer.

"Of course," said Maud.

So both Fancy and Fluer left without saying goodbye with Maud.

"What a couple of pitiful fools they are," said Tucker.

"The very nerve that Fluer said that my dog is better than the rest of us," said Filthy.

Blueblood, Pinkie, and the rest left in a taxi cab as Diamond kicked Winona inside the cab screaming "STUPID DOG YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME!!!" and then Winona's yelped in pain.

As Soarin went back to wheel the crate he says "It is genuinely sad that those overgrown filles rule Ponyville."

Then a army jeep drove and stopped next to Soarin and out came Rainbow Dash and she says "I got the jeep now let's get Tammy in the back."

Then Soarin and Rainbow Dash is greeted by Maud Pie, Fluer, and Fancy.

"Good job on saving all those ponies today," said Maid Pie.

"I wished that I could have saved more General," said Soarin sadly.

"Don't blame yourself Soarin, you did your best. The only ones are to blame are those helium gas junkies that Sombra uses for soldiers. I will personally recommend the both of you to be rewarded the Iron Crescent medal by the Empress herself," said Maud.

"Thank you General," said both Soarin and Rainbow excitedly.

"Alright and you two should go and get some rest because you never know when the next battle is going to be," said Maud and then she raised her right front hoof upwards and shouted "HAIL LUNA!!!"

And then both Soarin and Rainbow raised their right front hooves upwards and shouted back "HAIL LUNA!!!"

Then Maud, Fluer, and Fancy left.

"Alright let's lift the crate in the back," said Soarin. Then both Soarin and Rainbow lifted the crate and put it gently behind the back seat.

"Let's go to my house," said Soarin.

Then Rainbow Dash drove the army jeep out of the airport and went into the city proper. Tammy sees that many of the city structures looked like they were made out of clouds. All of the white pillars and spirals that many of the buildings in Cloudsdale reminded her of the Ponyville Zoo a little bit. There were many ponies driving, flying, and walking about in the city but all of them had a worried look on them.

"I guess all those intelligence reports about Sombra's army being made up of helium junkies are true. Only somepony that is completely insane and high can possibly act like the Crystal army," said Rainbow.

"Sombra deliberately made his soldiers to inhale gases like helium and feed them other drugs like Crystal Meth that make them go psycho," said Soarin.

"But why he would do that?" asked Rainbow.

"Because Sombra is a sadistic bastard who wants to make sure that his soldiers to obey every atrocious order he gives. And also having a army of lunatics that long lost their sense of what's right and wrong decreases the chance of somepony with a conscience staging a coup against him. That's why," replied Soarin.

"I guess there were not enough actual crazies to join his army so he insures that his army is completely bonkers," said Rainbow.

"Exactly and anyways a lot of the soldiers that joined Sombra's army are already scumbags but with the drugs they are so much worse. And I hope that my family got out of Baltimare safely," said Soarin.

"Don't worry I am sure that they will be here soon or probably they are at your house at this moment," said Rainbow.

Then Rainbow stopped at a large white house that looked like a cloud and she says "Alright we are at your house Soarin."

"My parents are not here," said Soarin in a worried tone.

"I hope the airships from Baltimare are alright," said Rainbow.

Then Soarin and Rainbow got out of the army jeep and opened the crate.

"Welcome to my home Tammy," said Soarin as he pointed to his house.

"Wow it is so big," said Tammy.

"Well when your the captain of the Wonderbolts the pride of the Equestrian Imperial Air Force you can afford to live in a place that is big," replied Soarin.

Then Rainbow stopped the army jeep in front of Soarin's house. The three ponies went inside the house, it was large full of furniture and Hearth Warming Eve decorations including a large Hearth Warming Eve tree in the living room.

"Wow this place is amazing," said Tammy as she look around with an amazed look on her face.

"Yes it is, and now this is your home now Tammy. And it was thanks to you actually that I became captain of the Wonderbolts since you put an end to that lunatic Spitfire and her gang. And me being the only surviving member of the Wonderbolts team I was automatically made captain," replied Soarin.

Then Tammy gave Soarin a big hug and said with tears in her eyes "Thank you very much, you truly are the kindest pony I have ever known."

"You mean nopony has ever been this nice to you?" asked Rainbow.

"No, not even the other circus freaks were nice to me. I was the pariah of the circus. I guess I reminded them of the vampire bat epidemic," said Tammy in a sad tone.

"That is so sad, it's not like you are dangerous," said Rainbow.

"It's just that some ponies can't see past my looks," replied Tammy.

"I think all those ponies you looked you down can't see past their muzzle," said Rainbow.

"Indeed," replied Soarin.

"Well I better get back to my house, I will see you two tomorrow morning. So goodnight," said Rainbow and then she left and drove the army jeep away.

"We better go to sleep ourselves, I'll show you the guest room," said Soarin.

"Alright," replied Tammy.

Soarin led Tammy upstairs to a large bedroom with a huge window in the wall that show the skyline of Cloudsdale and I the other wall a large tv screen.

"This is where you are going sleep," said Soarin as he pointed at a large bed.

"Wow even your guest room is big," said Tammy.

"Well it is a large house and I hope you like it here," said Soarin.

"Oh I really do like it here already," replied Tammy.

"Well then I have to go to my room now so goodnight Tammy and Happy Hearth Warming Eve," said Soarin.

"Goodnight to you too Soarin and Happy Hearth Warming Eve," replied Tammy.

Then Soarin left the room. And then Tammy went to look out at the window to see Cloudsdale's skyline and then Tammy said to herself "I hope this city is never attacked by those monsters. I never spent any holiday with anypony before, everypony would just ignore me. Only the animals would spend time with me."

A little while later Tammy fell asleep on the bed and she dreamed about finding herself in a cage in a large room with a fireplace on the wall and in the other wall was a window that overlooked the snowy skyline of Ponyville. A Christmas tree stood next to the window.

Tammy hears a cat's meow coming from behind her. She turns around and sees a large white cat. Then Tammy realised that she was the size of a newborn filly and Tucker and Esther Cobblewing in the room and they were big.

They both ran towards the cage and opened it.

"It is decided that Fluttershy has to die, I would rather have the house of Cobblewing die out than it to continue through that ugly thing we have for a daughter," said Tucker in a callous manner.

"Yes Tucker I agree. Why are we cursed to have such a hideous freak for a baby? We are going to be the laughing stock of Ponyville," replied Esther.

"Let's go for a walk in the Ponyville Park," said Tucker as he grinned evilly.

Then Esther opened the cage and picked up Tammy with a disgusted look on her face and put her in a carriage.

Then they rolled the carriage out of the mansion into the snowy night. Tammy was now getting scared for Tucker and Esther did not spoke for a long time until a family of unicorns broke the silence by saying "Merry Christmas."

Only then Tucker and Esther said "Happy Hearth Warming Eve" back and continued for a walking till they stopped.

Tammy was now terrified more than ever. The carriage was now shaking violently till it was in the air. Then it fell and landed in water. Tammy looked up and saw that Tucker and Esther were on a bridge with a cold look on their faces. Tammy only then realised that they tossed her and the basket that she was in off the bridge and she was on a current. When Tammy saw the river led to a black hole, she screamed in terror as she and her basket drifted to the dark tunnel and fell off the waterfall at the tunnel's entrance.

Then Tammy drifted and saw the night sky through storm drains in the tunnel's ceiling. Tammy now realised that she was now in a sewer and she drifted for a few minutes till the basket stopped. Then Tammy sees a large skylight in the ceiling of a large room in the sewers and then a group of rabbits appeared to greet Tammy.

Then Tammy finds herself back in bed at Soarin's guest room and she screamed and cried. It was still nighttime. Soarin comes in to see Tammy crying in the couch.

"What happened?" asked Soarin.

"I just had a nightmare," replied Tammy as she wiped the tears in her eyes with her front hoof.

"After what happened today, everypony is going to have nightmares for years to come," said Soarin.

"I dreamt of that pegasi couple that I saw in Prince Blueblood's entourage," said Tammy.

"That must be those two snobs Tucker and Esther Cobblewing," said Soarin.

"Yes that is their names," said Tammy.

"Tell me about your nightmare," said Soarin.

"I dreamt that I was a filly and it seems that those two pegasi were my parents. They conspired to kill me because of my looks. They called me a hideous freak and they ended up throwing in a river which sent me to the sewers with the rabbits that raised me," said Tammy as tears rolled down from her eyes.

"That's horrible," replied Soarin.

"What do you know about the Cobblewings?" asked Tammy.

"All I know is that they are members of Ponyville's aristocracy and they are close friends with Prince Blueblood and Filthy Rich. And also there are rumours of them being involved in organised crime," said Soarin.

"Do they have any children?' asked Tammy.

"No but I heard that they had a newborn daughter that died fifteen years ago," replied Soarin.

Soarin's statement about the Cobblewing's newborn daughter dying fifteen years earlier sent shivers to Tammy's spine.

"Can you please find out more information about them? said Tammy.

"Of course and don't worry, it's only a bad dream," replied Soarin.

"But I am afraid it is something more," said Tammy in a worried tone.

"Like what? asked Soarin.

"What if it is a memory?" said Tammy.

"Maybe it is. And what you have just told me about your nightmare, it really is something that the Cobblewings would do. They are not the nicest ponies and like I said they are rumoured to be in organised crime," said Soarin.

"So I might be the daughter of a couple of monsters?" replied Tammy.

""You might be and we better go back to sleep. Nothing is going to hurt you, not when I am around. So goodnight again Tammy," said Soarin and then left went back to his room.

Then Tammy went back to sleep and this time there was no nightmare. She woke up the next morning and went downstairs to the living room where Soarin was.

"Good morning Soarin," said Tammy.

"Good morning to you too Tammy and breakfast is ready at the dining room," replied Soarin.

Tammy and Soarin went to the dining room with a large dining room table. On the table was two plates with apple pies on them.

"Apple pies are my favourite food," said Tammy.

"Mine too," replied Saorin.

Then Tammy and Soarin eat all of the apple pies up. Then Tammy hears a loud ringing bell sound echoing throughout the house. Then Soarin says "I'll get it."

Soarin goes straight to the front door and finds a very somber looking Rainbow Dash.

"You look sad today Rainbow," said Soarin.

"I have some very bad news and I think you should be sitting down when tell it to you Soarin," said Rainbow.

"Umm okay," said Soarin as he led Rainbow to the living room and sat down a couch.

Then Tammy comes to the living room and says "Hello Rainbow."

"Oh hello to you too Tammy," replied Rainbow in a sad tone.

Tammy then suddenly got a sense that something was just not right. Rainbow Dash was just unusually gloomy looking compared to the way she was last night.

"So Rainbow, what bad thing just happened?" asked Soarin.

"It's about your parents. The airship they were on was shot down in the ocean near Baltimare by those Crystal bastards last night. Soarin, your parents are dead," cried Rainbow.

"WHAT? Are you sure about this? asked Soarin.

"Yes I am sure. It has been confirmed by military intelligence. I checked it and it is all true," said Rainbow.

"My parents are dead and lying somewhere in the ocean floor with hundreds of other ponies. "I feel sick now," replied Soarin and then vomited all of the pancakes he just ate on the floor and cried out loud "WHY?!!! I SAVED THOUSANDS OF PONIES AND YET I FAILED TO SAVE MY OWN PARENTS, I AM SUCH A FUCKING FAILURE AS A SON!!!"

"Don't blame yourself Soarin, it was not your fault. It was just a bad case of wrong place and wrong time. Remember it was a surprise invasion. It came all too fast. You were in Ponyville when the invasion started. You can't be at two places at once. The only ones are to blame are Sombra and is army of barbarians, not you," said Rainbow.

"I need to be alone in my room now," said Soarin as tears began to roll out of his eyes. Then he ran upstairs to his room screaming and crying. Then he slammed the bedroom door loudly and continued crying aloud.

"I got to get up there," said Rainbow in a worried tone.

"I'm coming too Rainbow," replied Tammy.

The two pegasi ran upstairs as fast as they could. Rainbow tried to open the Soarin's bedroom door but it was locked. "Soarin please open the door," cried out Rainbow.

"NO!!! MY PARENTS ARE DEAD AND I COULD HAVE SAVED THEM IF I WENT WITH THEM INSTEAD OF STAYING AT PONYVILLE FOR MY MILITARY CAREER!!! I AM A SELFISH SON AND I DESERVE TO DIE AND I SHALL DIE NOW!!! cried Soarin loudly.

"Oh my sweet Faust, he is going to kill himself," exclaimed Tammy.

"We got to get in there before it is too late," replied Rainbow.

Then Rainbow walked a few feet backwards and then she charged towards the door, but the door did not open. Tammy charged at the door at and it opened and found Soarin sitting on his bed holding a pistol in his mouth with large streams of tears rolling from his eyes. Both Tammy and Rainbow charged at Soarin and with a quick move Tammy knocks the gun out of his hoof before a split second before Soarin would fired the gun in his mouth.

"PLEASE LET ME DIE!!! I AM NOT WORTHY TO ANYPONY!!! cried Soarin.

"That's not true. You are a hero Soarin. Hundreds of thousands of ponies would be dead now if it were not for you and you are my friend," said Rainbow.

"You are the kindest pony I know and I don't want you to kill yourself over something that you couldn't do. It is Sombra and his army of psychos are to blame, not you. You are the opposite of worthless. Who else would even as go as far as letting somepony like me stay in your house, while others would have called the police after me as soon as they saw me," cried Tammy.

"You two don't look me down?" asked Soarin.

"No," replied both Rainbow and Tammy at the same time.

"I am going to have a very lonely Christmas this year," cried Soarin.

"No. I am here for you. I won't let you be alone at Hearth Warming Eve," said Tammy.

"Yeah and I am here for you too. So I am going to be spend Hearth Warming Eve with you," said Rainbow.

"I'm so sorry to put you two through this, the news of my parents death overwhelmed me. I never had so much grief before in my life,' said Soarin.

"It's alright Soarin, you lost two very important ponies in your life in a horrible way. That will send anypony over the edge," said Rainbow.

"You still have ponies that cared for you like us. Your parents raised a good colt and your death would only serve the very bastards who killed your parents," said Tammy.

"You two are right. I have to be strong now. The Wonderbolts would fall apart without me and those Crystal bastards would like that very much. I will not give them the satisfaction. If they want me dead, they would have to fight me first," said Soarin.

"That's the spirit Soarin," said Rainbow happily.

"This world still needs you," said Tammy.

"Alright I still have war to fight, and how about we do some Hearth Warming Eve shopping today to get my mind of all the misery and death this war has brought," replied Soarin.

"Sounds like a good idea Soarin," said Rainbow.

"I guess I have to stay here," said Tammy.

"We will get you something and you will have a proper Hearth Warming Eve this year and every year as long as you live" said Soarin.

Then Tammy hugged Soarin tightly and said in a happy tone "Thank you so much."

"No. It is I who must thank you for saving me, if it was not for you. My brains would have splattered all over the walls," replied Soarin.

"It's true. I am just a bit too slow to knock out that gun off your hoof," said Rainbow.

Then suddenly the phone on Soarin's night table ranged and Soarin answered it "Hello."

"Captain Soarin this is General Maud Pie. I just heard about the death of your parents and I am truly sorry about it," said Maud Pie in the other side of the phone.

"Thank you for your sympathy General," replied Soarin.

"Your welcome and I have decided that you and all of the members of the Wonderbolts team should still go on a Hearth Warming Eve vacation. Not only to give you time to mourn for your parents but also our forces pushed backed the Crystal army from many cities. So in other words, the Crystal Empire suffered many defeats and it will take time for them to recover. And that gives us time to relax for now. Of course you have to go to the memorial tomorrow for all those from Cloudsdale who died. Of course I may not have to order you to go since it is your parents memorial too," said Maud Pie.

"Of course I will go there General and thank you for letting me to be off duty for the holidays," said Soarin.

"I will see you tomorrow. Hail Luna," said Maud Pie.

"Hail Luna," replied Soarin and then Maud Pie hangs up the phone and then Soarin hangs up his phone.

"Good news. General Maud Pie has decided to let us stay here off duty for the rest of the Hearth Warming Eve season. Because our forces have pushed back the Crystal Empire back," said Soarin in a cheerful tone.

"But the only official engagement I must go tomorrow is the memorial to all those from Cloudsdale who died including my parents. It is the closest thing to a funeral for them since they are at the bottom of the ocean, said Soarin as tears began to roll from his eyes.

"Your parents and all those killed will be avenged. Sombra will pay with his blood," said Rainbow.

"Those filly killers will not get away with this," said Tammy.

"I know. Now let's do some shopping now," said Soarin.

So both Soarin and Rainbow Dash left for a hours leaving Tammy behind. Then they came back with bags full of groceries and presents.

"We're back," said Soarin.

"Let me help you with some of the bags," replied Tammy as she took some of the bags from Soarin and Rainbow.

Then a little later the three ponies had dinner together. They ate hayburgers. They watched some movies for the rest of the evening.

"I better get home now, we gotta go to the memorial tomorrow," said Rainbow.

"Oh yes. It's in the morning," replied Soarin.

"So I bid you two goodnight," said Rainbow.

Then both Tammy and Soarin said back to her "Goodnight" as Rainbow left Soarin's mansion.

"We should go to sleep too," said Soarin.

"Yes. I am quite tired, and thank you for giving such a wonderful evening in spite of what happened," said Tammy.

"Your welcome. And I guess that this is the first time you had an evening with friends like this," said Soarin.

"Yes it is, the closest to a day like this is with the animals. Nopony in the circus would even wish me Happy Hearth Warming Eve," replied Tammy.

"Well you are going to have days like today a lot from now on. Except for the part were you rescued me from a suicide attempt," said Soarin.

"I guess that makes it the second time I saved you since I saved you from being killed by Spitfire and her gang," replied Tammy.

"Yes. If you did not kill Spitfire. She would have killed me for disobeying her. So goodnight Tammy and thank you again for saving me," said Soarin and then he hugged Tammy.

"Your welcome and goodnight Soarin," said Tammy who was a little surprised with Soarin's hug. It was the very first time that somepony actually hugged her.

So the two ponies went to their bedrooms. Tammy went to her bed and she heard Soarin crying softly for a while until Soarin went asleep. Shortly afterwards Tammy fell asleep.

The next morning both Soarin and Tammy awoken and had another apple pie breakfast together. Then Rainbow came in with a somber look on her.

"It's time to go now," said Rainbow.

"Alright," replied Soarin.

"I would love to come and pay my respects too, but I guess I won't be able too," said Tammy in a sad tone.

"Yes you still can after all it's televised," said Soarin.

"Oh okay," replied Tammy.

Then Soarin and Rainbow left and Tammy turned on the tv and it was a live broadcast about the memorial service. Then about 10 minutes later Tammy saw Soarin and Rainbow on the tv screen being seated next to General Maud Pie. The service was held in a park and there were pictures of the ponies who died at the podium. There were speeches and eulogies. Many of the ponies were crying including Soarin. The service last for two hours and then Soarin and Rainbow came back and they were greeted by Tammy who was crying too.

The three ponies talked for the rest of the day about Soarin's parents and according to Soarin they were wonderful ponies who truly did not deserve to die to horribly. They were always there for Soarin in every airshow and parade. Something Tammy's parents never did and it truly broke Tammy and Ranbow's hearts when they heard of how highly Soarin spoke of his parents. At midnight a sad Rainbow left for her home with tears rolling from her eyes for Soarin's parents were something like a uncle and aunt to her and both Soarin and Tammy went to their beds. It was another night of Soarin crying himself to sleep.

For the next two weeks Rainbow would come over to comfort Soarin and so did Tammy. Soarin kept himself happy with Hearth Warming Eve shopping and sometimes he would not buy anything. He would just wonder around the shopping mall all day. At times Tammy and Rainbow would feel like they were on suicide watch for Soarin. Eventually Soarin stopped crying himself to sleep. On the night before Hearth Warming Eve Soarin and Rainbow left for the annual Hearth Warming Eve Gala at the Wonderbolts Academy.

"We are going to the Hearth Warming Eve Gala at the Wonderbolts Academy. We will be back in a couple of hours. Then we will have our party here," said Soarin.

"Alright," said Tammy.

So Soarin and Rainbow left for the Wonderbolts Academy.

Then Tammy got a little worried "I hope everything will be alright there. I got to go there"

Then she sneaked out and it was easy for her for there was nopony in the streets.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 5. Please stay tuned as Tammy celebrates her first proper Christmas with Soarin and Rainbow Dash as the war rages on

Chapter 6

Soarin and Rainbow arrived at the Wonderbolts Academy and there were a lot of ponies there. Soldiers, celebrities, and even nobles. At the entrance stood General Maud Pie, Fancy Pants, and Fluer De Lis.

"I am so glad you came Captain," said Maud.

"I do need some cheering up," replied Soarin.

"Let's hope nothing happens here. That jackass Prince Blueblood is here along with that nutcase lover of his," said Maud.

"You mean that Pinkamena Diane Pie," said Rainbow.

"I am afraid so," replied Maud.

"I just hope that helium junkie behaves herself," said Rainbow.

"She better or I will throw her and Blueblood out," said Maud.

"Good," replied Soarin.

"I can't stand that loser Prince Blueblood and his social circle of crooks and psychos," said Fancy.

"The thought of being in the same building with them turns my stomach," said Fluer.

The five ponies went inside. The party was held in a very large room filled with Hearth Warming Eve decorations, tables, and portraits of Empress Luna in the walls. At the end of the room was a podium and stood there Cheese Sandwich, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia Melody, and Lyra Heartstirngs.

"I am now going to sing my all time classic Hearth Warming Eve In Ground Zero. Although in light of recent events it is appropriate and yet disturbing," said Cheese. So he sang that song and other songs for a while until a high pitched yell came out of one of the tables. It was from Pinkie Pie.

"PLAY IT AGAIN!!!" yelled Pinkie who was sitting with Prince Blueblood, Filthy Rich, Diamond Tiara, Silver Shill, Tucker and Esther Cobblewing.

"Umm sure," said Cheese and he sang it again.

"AGAIN!!!" yelled Pinkie Pie as she grabbed a gas mask attached to a can of helium and inhaled it.

"I'm sorry but I got other songs to sing and there are others who would like to perform too," said Cheese.

"Fine, sing your other songs. And let those boring ponies play along with that crippled freak with the scissors too. Good thing that Lyra is a unicorn or she would be cutting her harp that sideshow reject," said Pinkie Pie angrily through her teeth.

"Well I may be a freak for having scissors for front hooves, but I have never been accused of eating other ponies like you. Fucking clown" replied Lyra.

"Whatever," said Pinkie while giving a very dark look at Lyra.

Cheese sang his other songs.

"Wow that Pinkie Pie mare is rude" said Soarin.

"No kidding" replied Rainbow Dash.

"I really hope that Prince Blueblood does not marry that psychotic helium junkie because it would be embarrassing to have that madmare as a princess. Blueblood being a prince of Equestria is embarrassing enough," said Maud.

"Why I am not surprised that Pinkie Pie has to cause a scene here? The very idea of Pinkie Pie as a princess is just laughable," said Fancy.

"It is just plain sad. I mean Filthy Rich's dog Winona would make a better princess than Pinkie Pie," said Fluer.

"Everypony knows that Pinkie Pie is nuts, even Lyra knows that," said Soarin.

"I have a feeling that my sister is going to be Blueblood's undoing. And if she makes one more outburst, I will throw her out," said Maud.

"Oh well that's Blueblood's problem if he becomes a cupcake," said Rainbow.

Meanwhile Tammy found the Wonderbolts Academy with ease since much of the streets of Cloudsdale was empty.

"I found it, but how can I get in?" said Tammy as she looked at the entrance of the place which was guarded by a team of soldiers.

She waited outside, out of the sight of the guards.

Two hours passed and everypony was leaving the Wonderbolts Academy and Tammy went to look for Soarin and Rainbow but she saw Cheese, Lyra, Octavia, and Vinyl running out. The musicians went to their large van in the parking lot only to see Pinkie Pie and Silver Shill standing in front of their van looking angry at the musicians.

"YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME A FUCKING CLOWN IN FRONT OF EVERYPONY!!!" screamed Pinkie.

"Well you did insult me first," replied Lyra.

"YOU JUST INSULTED A FUTURE PRINCESS OF EQUESTRIA YOU MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A MARE!!! EVERYPONY KNOWS THAT I AM THE COTTON CANDIED COLOURED CLOWN NOT A JUST ANY FUCKING CLOWN!!! AND BY THE WAY YOU ARE NOT EVEN A PONY!!! YOU ARE JUST SOME UNFINISHED SCIENCE PROJECT!!! yelled Pinkie.

"LEAVE LYRA ALONE AND GET OUT OF OUR WAY!!! yelled Cheese.

"I'll have to teach that Lyra to respect her betters and she must apologise," said Pinkie.

"Why should she apologise to a lunatic like you? asked Vinyl.

"Pinkie is the one who should say sorry to Lyra, not the other way around," replied Octavia.

"I am going to tear all of you apart and I would like to see if you really have guts or not Lyra," said Pinkie in a sinister tone.

"I do have organs, it just my front hooves that are made of metal. And what is the matter with you? Cotton candied coloured clown? What does that even mean?" replied Lyra.

"Oh well. I guess I will have those scissorhooves as trophies then," said Pinkie.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" screamed Cheese.

"Have you danced with the draconiquus in the pale moonlight?" asked Pinkie as she pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Lyra.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!!!" shouted Lyra.

"You just asked to receive a love letter from me. Do you even know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun. STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART FUCKER!!! ONCE YOU RECEIVE A LOVE LETTER FROM ME, YOU'RE FUCKED FOREVER!!! I'LL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO TARARUS FUCKER!!! yelled Pinkie.

Tammy seeing all this grabbed a lid from a nearby trashcan and threw it at Pinkie's front hoof causing her to drop her gun.

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!!! said Pinkie.

Tammy jumps in front of Pinkie scaring everypony.

"IT'S THE PEGABAT!!!" screamed everypony.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM YOU PINK PSYCHO!!!" yelled Tammy as she drooled black bile.

"KILL HER!!!" screamed Pinkie as Silver pulled out his pistol and aimed at Tammy. He fired his gun but he missed since he was shaking in fear and his aim was off.

"KILL THAT MONSTER NOW YOU COWARD!!! bellowed Pinkie.

"I'm trying Pinkie" replied Silver.

Tammy bucked Silver in the face, sending him a few feet away unconscious..

"FUCKING WEIRDO!!! yelled Pinkie as she jumped on Tammy and punched her in the face with her front hooves.

Lyra sneaked behind Pinkie and slashed her front right leg.

"AARGH!!! YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD LYRA!!! screamed Pinkie as she charged at Lyra.

Tammy rushed at Pinkie punched her in face so hard that Pinkie tumbled a few feet away, knocking her unconscious. Lyra walks towards Tammy with a smile on her face.

"Thank you for saving us" said Lyra as Cheese, Vinyl, and Octavia walked towards Tammy. They were no longer scared of her.

"What is your name?" asked Lyra.

"Umm it's Tammy," replied Tammy.

"I cannot believe that we just got saved by the Pegabat herself," said Cheese.

Tammy sees Soarin, Rainbow, Fancy, Fluer, and Maud walking out of the Wonderbolts Academy.

"I'm sorry but I gotta go," said Tammy as she flew off.

"Don't worry. we won't tell on you Tammy," said Lyra.

"What just happened here?" asked Maud.

Pinkie woke up screaming in anger and with blood dripping from her nose "I'LL FUCKING BUTCHER THAT PEGABAT FREAK!!!"

"Pegabat?" asked Maud.

"Yes that freak with the bat wings is here in Cloudsdale and she attacked me," replied Pinkie.

"Oh there you are Pinkie. Where did you and Silver went off to?" asked Blueblood who was with Filthy, Diamond , Tucker , and Esther.

"I was just talking to the band Blueblood," said Pinkie.

"Talking?! HA!!! You were trying to kill us," said Cheese.

"Yes you wanted to kill me all because I called you a fucking clown, not a cotton candied coloured clown. Whatever that is suppose to mean," said Lyra.

You're lying," said Pinkie.

"You pointed a gun at me," replied Lyra.

"Pinkie you are obviously high and or drunk," said Maud.

Silver wakes up "Where is that Pegabat freak?"

"You too are talking about the Pegabat?" said Maud.

"Yes she is real," replied Silver.

"Of course you would say that after all, you are Pinkie's pet," said Maud.

"Seriously did you get attacked by that monster?" asked Blueblood.

"YES!!!" shouted Pinkie.

"Did you see any Pegabat creature here Lyra?" asked Maud.

"No. That Pinkie is just making up stuff," said Lyra.

"Anypony else saw the Pegabat? asked Maud.

Cheese, Vinyl, and Octavia replied "No."

"Pinkie you are high and since you tried to harm Lyra, I am going to have you and your friend Silver arrested for assault and attempted murder," said Maud.

"NOOOO!!! WHY WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!!! THAT MONSTER WAS HERE AND THOSE IDIOTS ARE COVERING FOR HER!!! yelled Pinkie.

"Are you sure you saw that monster?" asked Esther.

"Yes. She kind of looks like you Esther," replied Pinkie.

"What do you mean looks like me?" asked Esther.

"No. The Pegabat is a yellow mare with a pink mane. She is a younger version of you with sharp teeth and bat wings, that is what she looks like. I think that she is that same bat filly we saw at the Purple Square Circus five years ago. It has to be her," said Pinkie.

A chill ran down the spines of Tucker and Esther.

"Alright we believe you," said both Tucker and Esther.

Everypony looked at the Cobblewing couple with confusion.

"HA HA HA!!! Pinkie is so funny. She said that Esther looked like the Pegabat," said Diamond.

"I remember her, she ran out of the circus when Pinkie and those other fillies were throwing stuff at her and laughing at her," said Filthy.

"Tammy was here," whispered Soarin.

"Sure Pinkie Pie, the Pegabat was here and also a pig flew by too," said Fancy sarcastically.

"And the flying pig told me that the best way to move clouds is to have a skeleton to shoot a fireball at a beehive," said Fluer sarcastically.

"Just shut up you two bastards," growled Pinkie.

"Yeah. And come to think of it. Tammy kind of does look like a younger version of Esther Cobblewing," said Rainbow.

"Well. Have any of you seen the news reports on the Pegabat?" said Tucker.

"She was caught on camera several times. How can anypony deny her existence? That freak is real and she was seen by many ponies back in Ponyville," said Esther.

"Yes I do believe that she does exists. I have seen the footage, but the only ponies who claim to seen her tonight are couple of helium junkies. And the sober ponies claimed that there was no Pegabat here. So what Pinkie saw was a drug induced hallucination and Silver is just Pinkie's stooge," said Maud.

A group of soldiers came in and dragged a screaming Pinkie and Silver away to a police car and drove to the Cloudsdale Prison.

"Well that concludes this night. Goodnight to all of you," said Maud as she walked away.

Everypony said goodnight and went their separate ways except for Blueblood, Filthy, Diamond, Tucker, and Esther.

"Damn, now I have to bribe the local prison officials to get Pinkie and Silver out," said Blueblood angrily.

"That beast Fluttershy is alive," said Esther.

"For years I refuse to believe that the Pegabat was our daughter, but Pinkie seen her up close confirms it. Fluttershy is the Pegabat," said Tucker.

"Calm down you two, it's not like she is here eavesdropping us," said Filthy.

"Yes you are right, that freak is probably somewhere in the sewer," said Tucker.

"Now I am not going to have a good night sleep tonight knowing that she is still out there," said Esther.

We should get back to the hotel and I have go get Pinkie and Silver out of prison," said Blueblood.

The five ponies went to their limo and drove off. Tammy however saw and heard everything from the shadows. She cried as she ran back to Soarin's house. She managed to get there first before Soarin and Rainbow. She ran to her room and collapse on the bed crying hysterically.

"THEY STILL HATE ME?!!! WHY?!!! cried Tammy.

"Tammy we are home," said Soarin as he and Rainbow entered the front door. Soarin and Rainbow went upstairs and found Tammy crying in her bed.

"Tammy. What's wrong? asked Soarin.

"Were you there at the Wonderbolts Academy tonight? asked Rainbow.

"Yes," replied Tammy.

"You did a good thing tonight, that psycho Pinkie Pie was going to murder the band. It was nice of them of not telling on you," said Soarin.

"Soarin. Can you please find every information about Tucker and Esther Cobblewing's daughter?" asked Tammy.

"I'll try," said Soarin.

"I need to know for sure that if I am the daughter of those two horrible ponies," said Tammy.

"I'll bring you the information tomorrow," said Soarin.

Soarin went to search on the records on the Cobblewings that night and he found something that disturbed him. He brought the information home. The next day it was Hearth Warming Eve. Rainbow came in Soarin's house.

"Wake up Tammy, it's hearth Warming Eve," said Soarin as Tammy woke up from her bed.

"Yeah. Time to open presents," said Rainbow.

"Alright," said Tammy.

The three ponies went downstairs to the living room. They all sat on the floor next to the Hearth Warming Eve tree and they all open their presents.

"You know what? This is the first time I opened my presents with anypony. I always do this alone except for my animal friends,: said Tammy.

"Well Tammy, Hearth Warming Eve for you is going be like this from now on," said Soarin.

"Yeah. Hearth Warming Eve is a time to be with the ones you care about. Not being alone," said Rainbow.

"Oh I got a very special present for you Tammy. But I think it will also make you angry but I think you should gave it," said Soarin who then handed a envelope wrapped in a bow to Tammy.

"I wonder what it is?" said Tammy as she opened the envelope and read the papers inside.

It was the information about the Cobblewing couple and a copy of a birth certificate of a Pegasus mare named Fluttershy Cobblewing. According to the documents Fluttershy Cobblewing was born to Tucker and Esther Cobblewing fifteen years ago, the same age as Tammy, specifically on December 10. She read more and there it was, the description of the filly. Yellow pegasus mare, pink mane, teal eyes, bat like wings, and sharp teeth. She read more information and found a death certificate that said that she died at the age of 2 weeks of Sudden Filly Death Syndrome. There were no documents of a funeral service of any kind. A chill ran through Tammy's spine. It was confirmed, Tammy is Fluttershy Cobblewing.

"How this death certificate got made?" asked a teary eyed Tammy.

"Your parents bribed many officials and doctors to make that death certificate. To cover up the fact that they left you to die in the sewer," said Soarin.

"Thank you for giving me this present Soarin," said Tammy.

"Are you not angry?" asked Soarin.

"I am angry at my parents but I am also happy that I have the best present that I ever received," replied Tammy.

"What is that exactly? asked Soarin.

"Yes what is it?" asked too Rainbow.

"My pony name Fluttershy Cobblewing and the exact date of my birth," said Tammy.

"Okay," said both Soarin and Rainbow.

"You see I was never really comfortable with the name Tammy. It was given to me by the circus, but Fluttershy fits me so much better," said Tammy.

"But Tammy, that name Fluttershy was given to you by those two monsters who threw you out to die. Why you want to use it?" asked Soarin.

"Because I like the sound of Fluttershy and besides my bastard parents picked that name before I was born. Why would they give me this beautiful name after I was born? They must had big plans for me. Perhaps marrying me into high society including the Imperial Family itself. Of course this meant helping with their status. That must be the only reason why they wanted children, because if they really wanted children, they should have loved me and kept me even with my deformities. I assume that they never tried again to have more fillies after me because they did not want to give birth to another useless freak like me," said Tammy.

"Well I suppose you are right. Come to think of it that name really does suit you Fluttershy," said Soarin.

"I like it," replied Rainbow.

"Thank you. No longer I will be known by my freakshow stage name Tammy The Hideous Bat Filly, now I am simply Fluttershy Cobblewing a pony being," said Fluttershy.

Fluttershy gives Soarin a big hug "You don't know how much this really means to me. I have now a proper name to go by."

A knock comes from the front door.

"Who can that be?" asked Rainbow.

"I don't know Rainbow, Fluttershy you better go hide now," said Soarin.

Fluttershy go to the top of the stairs but she sees Soarin opening the front door and sees Lyra, Cheese, Octavia, and Vinyl.

"Can I help you? Did General Maud Pie sent you guys for Christmas caroling?" asked Soarin.

"No, is Tammy here?" asked Lyra."

"Umm, how did you guys found out where Tammy lives?" asked Soarin.

"We followed her here last night after she saved us from that psycho Pinkie Pie," said Cheese.

"We just thought that Tammy would be alone for Christmas, so we decided to celebrate with here." said Vinyl.

"We were kind of surprised that she lived here, we were expecting her to be in a sewer or something," said Octavia.

"It was my idea, she risked her life to save us. And I know what like to be alone at this time of year," said Lyra,

"Oh well then please come in," said Soarin.

They went inside "Fluttershy, there are some ponies who want to meet you," said Soarin.

Fluttershy flew from upstairs to the living room "Hello."

"Umm was your name Tammy? asked Lyra.

"Oh that. You see I just found out my real name is Fluttershy Cobblewing," said Fluttershy.

"Are related to those two horrible ponies Tucker and Esther Cobblewing? They are always with those other awful ponies Prince Blueblood and that Pinkie Pie," asked Octavia.

"Sadly I am. I am their daughter," said Fluttershy.

"Daughter?! I heard that they did had a newborn daughter that died fifteen years ago. Oh they are worse than I thought, they abandoned you" said Octavia.

"Well what you did for us last night proved that you are a better pony than your parents," said Lyra.

"Thank you Lyra," said Fluttershy as she hugged Lyra.

Lyra was careful with her scissorhooves.

They all talked throughout the day and they watched a couple of movies. Fluttershy and Lyra got along very well, they had so much in common, both were outcasts and now they were adopted by ponies who saw past their freakish nature. Lyra would talk about her late father and that he died in just before Hearth Warming Eve just before he could finish her.

"At least you had a father that loved you. He did not leave you like this intentionally," said Fluttershy.

"I know. My hands were suppose to be given to me on Hearth Warming Eve, but my father decided to give them to me a day earlier. But it was not early enough. I still think about him," said Lyra.

"I am sure that he proud of you, my parents know that I am alive and they are frightened and unrepentant. One day I will have to face them, all I want is an apology," said Fluttershy.

"You better be careful. I hear that they are very bad. They might shoot you dead. They are in a very high up in the Ponyville Crime Syndicate. That means they killed before. The day those two apologise is the same day that Pinkie Pie becomes a sane pony and Emperor Sombra willingly stops committing war crimes. And we all know that is not going to happen," said Lyra.

"I suppose you are right. I will not get any apology from them," said Fluttershy.

"Well you have new life now, it is going to get better for you," said Lyra.

They continued celebrating Hearth Warming Eve, the band even performed a concert just for Soarin, Rainbow, and Fluttershy. Cheese brought extra food for the Christmas dinner from a catering service from the day before. They were originally going to spend Hearth Warming Eve in a hotel room. The band left at midnight.

"What wonderful ponies they are," said Fluttershy.

"Cheese is really funny," said Rainbow.

"Thank you so much Fluttershy. You gave me a great Hearth Warming Eve present and you gave it to me early. My reason to continue living. I should be dead now if it were not for you coming into my life again. I wish my parents were here to see all this," said a teary eyed Soarin as he hugged Fluttershy.

"Your welcome Soarin. And I thank you again for giving me my real name back. I wish that my animal friends were here too. The ones from my cottage are dead. At least the rabbits who rescued me in the sewer are alright," said Fluttershy.

"I better get going now, I see you two tomorrow. Happy Hearth Warming Eve," said Rainbow as she left.

"Happy Hearth Warming Eve," said both Fluttershy and Soarin.

Fluttershy and Soarin went upstairs "I promise you this Fluttershy, every Hearth Warming Eve is going to be like this. You will never be alone again," said Soarin.

Soarin then kisses Fluttershy in the mouth.

"I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from," said a blushing Soarin.

"It's okay" replied a blushing Fluttershy.

"We better go to sleep now, goodnight," said Soarin as he ran to his room.

Fluttershy stood in the hallway wondering of what just happened for a minute, then she went to her bed.

"I thought that this would never happen to me. Me being kissed by a colt. Hmmm, I just noticed something, I did not drooled that black bile on him. Maybe he is the one I am suppose to be with. I guess I am still attractive even with my deformities. This proves my parents even more wrong," said Fluttershy.

The next morning Fluttershy wakes up and goes downstairs and finds Soarin in the kitchen preparing breakfast from the leftovers from the night before.

"Good morning Soarin," said Fluttershy.

"Umm good morning Fluttershy," said Soarin whose face was still blushing.

A knock came from the front door. Soarin opens it and there was Rainbow.

"Do you still have leftovers?" asked Rainbow.

"Yes," said Soarin.

Rainbow goes to the dining room where Fluttershy was.

"Hello Tammy uhmm I mean Fluttershy," said Rainbow.

"Hello Rainbow," replied Fluttershy.

Soarin comes in with the food and sets it on the table and with a embarrassed look on his face.

"Uhmm Soarin, why are you blushing," asked Rainbow.

"Oh it's nothing," replied Soarin.

"Really," said Rainbow.

Rainbow notices that Soarin was avoiding eye contact with Fluttershy.

"Did something happened between the two of you after I went home last night?" asked Rainbow.

"Nope," said Soarin.

"Come on, you can tell me. I know you so well, I can tell that you did something last night," said Rainbow.

Fluttershy was quiet, she did not want to cause Soarin anymore embarrassment. She just continued eating her breakfast.

"I kissed Fluttershy," said Soarin.

Rainbow's jaw dropped "You're serious right?"

"I am serious," replied Soarin.

"Fluttershy, is Soarin telling the truth?" asked Rainbow.

"Yes he really did kissed me," said Fluttershy.

"Oh. To tell you the truth, I was expecting this a lot sooner. Well you are still an attractive young mare and you did save his life, so I guess he has fallen for you," replied Rainbow.

"Honestly I thought that having somepony falling in love with me was something of the impossible," said Fluttershy whose face was now blushing.

"You two don't have to get embarrassed by this. I am not really surprised about this," said Rainbow.

"Really?" asked Fluttershy.

"You're the reason why Soarin is captain of the Wonderbolts, you're even the reason why Soarin is even alive. You saved him twice. First from Spitfire and her gang and second from his suicide attempt. You have done so much for him," said Rainbow.

"Yes it is all true. I owe my very life to Fluttershy. I never once looked at her as a monster like almost everypony else. She is my bat winged guardian angel," said Soarin.

"Nopony has ever called me that before, maybe except for the animals," replied Fluttershy.

"It is true, if I never met you at the circus, Spitfire would have eventually killed me because there was no way that I was joining up with her gang of murderers," said Soarin.

"Come to think of it, I probably would have been killed by her too. Fluttershy killing Spitfire and her gang saved many lives here in Cloudsdale," said Rainbow.

"So I am an actual hero?" asked Fluttershy.

"Of course you are. You saved Lyra, Cheese, Vinyl, and Octavia from that lunatic Pinkamena Diane Pie two nights ago," said Soarin.

"You need to work on your self esteem Fluttershy. You have done good things," said Rainbow.

"Oh okay," said Fluttershy.

"I do confess that I find Fluttershy to be beautiful," said Soarin.

"You actually mean that Soarin?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yes I do mean it. You are not repulsive or scary at all. You are an genuinely attractive mare. I love you Fluttershy," said Soarin.

Fluttershy gave out a surprised look at Soarin and said "Nopony has ever told me that before ever. Am I in a dream?"

"No you are awake. I really do love you," said Soarin.

Fluttershy's heart beat fast as she replied "Uhmm to tell you the truth Soarin. I have been wanting you to say this for some time. I have falling in love you for quite some time."

"Why did you not say this earlier?" asked Soarin.

"Because I thought you would laugh at me if I told you this," said Fluttershy.

"No I would not laugh at you," replied Soarin.

"Oh okay," said Fluttershy.

"Oh I nearly forgot to say this but I heard that Prince Blueblood talked to the prison officials into letting Pinkamena Diane Pie and Silver Shill out. But the good news is that Prince Blueblood, Pinkie Pie, Silver Shill, Filthy Rich and that brat of a daughter of his, and the Cobblewings have already left Cloudsdale for Canterlot. Something tells me that Blueblood paid a lot of money to get his marefriend and her stooge out of prison," said Rainbow.

"Well that is how he has been keeping Pinkie Pie out of the insane asylum for years back in Ponyville," said Soarin.

"So my parents are not here anymore. Well good riddance to them," said Fluttershy.

"Fancy Pants and Fluer De Lis actually said good riddance to them too. They are quite happy that they are not in the same city anymore. I hope that Prince Blueblood does not decide to hurt them in the future. General Maud Pie is also happy that her sister is out of town too," said Rainbow.

"So any news about the war?" asked Soarin.

"Well our forces are holding strong. The Crystal Empire has pulled back. But they left such a trail of carnage. There are reports of severed heads of fillies put on pikes in city parks and ponies of all ages being hanged on lamp posts and electric posts along the train tracks," said Rainbow in a sad tone.

"WHAT?!!! THAT'S HORRIBLE!!!" screamed Fluttershy.

"And there are even reports that some towns that have been wiped out by a nerve gas. All the dead ponies have this creepy smile on their faces," said Rainbow.

"Nerve gas?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yes the Crystal Empire is using chemical weapons, and from what the eyewitnesses said that the victims of the gas died laughing," said Rainbow.

"All the more reason why we must win this war. We are fighting against filly killing cannibals with chemical weapons here. It's like something out of a horror movie," said Soarin.

"It seems that the Crystal Empire is just regrouping and preparing for another attack. So we must be on our guard," said Rainbow.

"FUCKING MONSTERS!!! DEGENERATE BASTARDS THAT'S WHAT THE CRYSTAL ARMY IS MADE OF!!! I'LL KILL THAT SON OF A BITCH SOMBRA WITH MY BARE HOOVES IF I GET THE CHANCE!!!" yelled Fluttershy.

"We all do want to kill Sombra that miserable demon that looks like a pony," said Soarin.

"So it seems that the war will continue throughout the new year. I just hope that Sombra does not have any more surprises like those chemical weapons," said Rainbow.

"Well that is something we have to worry about after the new year. I wish I could end this war as soon as possible," said Soarin.

"I really can't understand how and why ponies do this to other ponies. It just sickens me," said Fluttershy.

Five days later. It was New Years Eve. Fluttershy, Soarin, and Rainbow watched the New Years Eve tv special hosted by Vinyl Scratch in Canterlot. The New Years Eve tv specials were usually festive but this year was unusually somber. Some of the ponies at the Canterlot Plaza had a miserable look on them, it felt more like a televised funeral service. There were still some ponies celebrating but not as much as last year. The memories of the Crystal Empire's surprise attack was still fresh in the minds of the ponies, some of them were grieving for the loss of their loved ones. At the podium there was Empress Luna with Twilight Sparkle at her side. Twilight was not a princess yet and she was still a unicorn. Both Empress Luna and Twilight Sparkle were smiling but they both had a sad look on their eyes. Seated next to them was a younger Spike The Dragon and so was an pale light greyish cerise alicorn mare with a violet, gold, and rose mane named Princess Cadance who is the rightful heir to the Crystal Empire's throne. And seated next to her was white torquoisish unicorn colt with a sapphire blue mane named Shining Amour who was the Captain of the Imperial Guard and brother of Twilight Sparkle. There were other important officials there and seated far away from Empress Luna, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Cadence, and Shining Amour was Prince Blueblood looking arrogant as ever.

Empress Luna makes her speech "I wish you all a happy new year, but I also wished that this year did not end in a bad note. I promise you all that I will do everything in my power to end this war soon so that way Equestria can go back to peace and normalcy. May next New Years Eve be a more happier occasion. The Crystal Empire will never win. EQUESTRIA HAIL VICTORY!!!"

All of the ponies saluted "HAIL LUNA!!!"

"Poor Empress Luna. I bet she has not have any good nights sleep anymore," said Soarin.

"Yeah. She must be worried about what Sombra has in his arsenal. That nerve gas of his is scary," said Rainbow.

"Ponies laughing to death is frightening, I hope it never happens again," said Fluttershy.

The countdown begins as a large glowing ball from the roof of a nearby building slowly descends 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 then large firework sprang out signalling that the new year has come. Everypony cheered, a couple of minutes later the fireworks were giving off a greenish fumes. Many ponies started to laugh hysterically and collapsing in the floor till they died with a wide grin on their faces. The ponies who were not close to the fireworks display ran off screaming in terror. Empress Luna, Princess Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle's horns glowed and made a magical tornado that sucked all the poison gas and hurled it into the night sky.

"I spoke too soon," said Fluttershy who burst into tears.

"IS THERE ANY LIMITS TO SOMBRA'S DEPRAVITY?!!! bellowed Rainbow.

"FUCK!!! THAT SOMBRA IS A TRUE MONTER!!! NOTHING IS SAFE FROM HIM!!! CAN'T EVEN LET US HAVE NEWS YEARS WITHOUT DEATH!!! yelled Soarin.

The tv screen cuts to a breaking news broadcast. The new reporters says with a shocked looked on his face. "There was a chemical weapon attack on Canterlot Plaza just now. Authorities say that at least 100 ponies have died. The attack occurred a couple minutes after midnight. Empress Luna, Princess Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle a student of the Empress stopped the nerve gas attack before more lives were lost. Already this massacre is being on the Crystal Empire and it does seem that is their work since the nerve gas is exactly the same like the towns the Crystal Empire attacked with chemical weapons. All the victims died laughing and they all have a unnaturally wide smile and the victims were from all age groups from the elderly to newborn fillies."

"I am afraid that the new year is going to be an awful one," said Soarin glumly.

"Sombra must die for this," said Rainbow through her teeth.

"This is like a nightmare. A NIGHTMARE!!! ALL THOSE PONIES WHO DIED!!! THEIR FACES, THEIR SMILES, IT'S BEYOND HORRIFYING!!! THIS IS GOING TO HAUNT ME FOREVER!!! cried out Fluttershy as she hugged Soarin tightly for dear life.

"Some happy new year," said Soarin in gloomy tone.

"I am genuinely scared about all this, what if we have traitors in Equestria. Canterlot is suppose to be the safest place in all of Equestria," said Rainbow.

"You mean that there are ponies who are betraying Equestria for the Crystal Empire," asked Fluttershy.

"There might be traitors. Whoever they are, they are going to pay dearly for this," said Soarin.

Fluttershy, Soarin, and Rainbow Dash could not sleep that night. Fluttershy cried hysterically for hours. They all wondered about the horrors that are coming in the new year.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 6. Stayed tuned as the new year comes

Chapter 7

One week later Soarin and Rainbow left for the Wonderbolts Academy for a special occasion. Empress Luna herself came to reward Soarin and Rainbow the Iron Crescent Medal. Earlier that day Empress Luna toured the refugee camps in Cloudsdale.

"Fluttershy we going now. Watch us on tv alright," said Soarin as he and Rainbow left.

When they arrived at the Wonderbolts Academy. They saw the place with more soldiers than usual. The security was very tight and for good reason especially after the Canterlot Plaza Massacre. At the very same room where the Christmas party was held stood Empress Luna herself. She looked drained and worried and she looked like she had been crying a lot. At her side was her adoptive daughter Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and General Maud Pie, they all looked gloomy and tired from being up all night planning war stragedies. There were many soldiers, news reporters, and camera ponies in the room too.

"Come forth Captain Soarin and Lieutenant Rainbow Dash," said Luna.

Soarin and Rainbow walked towards Luna and bowed to her.

"For your acts of bravery in the battle of Ponyville and saving millions of ponies, I reward you both the Iron Crescent," said Luna as she levitated the two medals and put them on Soarin and Rainbow's necks.

The Iron Crescent medals where shaped liked the crescent moon, they were black with a white trimming that were attached to a red collar.

"Arise Saviours Of Ponyville," said Luna.

Soarin and Rainbow stood up to face Luna.

"I really cannot thank you enough for what you have done in Ponyville, you two are Equestria's finest. Equestria Hail Victory," said Luna as she saluted Soarin and Rainbow.

Soarin and Rainbow saluted back "HAIL LUNA!!!"

"I would like to talk to you in private," said Luna.

After Empress Luna gave out more medals to the other Wonderbolt team members, Soarin, Rainbow, Maud, Twilight, Spike and Luna went to the war room.

"Captain Soarin, I am genuinely sorry about your parents," said Luna as she hugged Soarin.

"Uhmm thank you, your majesty," said Soarin in unsure tone.

"I blame myself for why the Crystal Empire penetrated Equestria so easily. I should have built up Equestria's defenses better. I FAILED EQUESTRIA AS I FAILED CELESTIA!!! I AM FAILURE!!!," cried a teary eyed Luna.

"Don't blame yourself your majesty. It was a surprise attack. Our defenses managed to put a stop to the Crystal Empire's advances," said Soarin.

"You are truly forgiving Captain Soarin, but I would like to talk about another matter. The liberation of Appleloosa," said Luna.

"You mean that the next battle is at Appleloosa?" asked Soarin.

"Yes," replied Luna.

"We have to prepare the troops for the assault. Unfortunately that will have to wait until April because we need to make new weapons and supplies. And a lot of our factories were damaged in the attack," said Maud.

Luna turned around and pounded her front hooves on the war room table repeatedly while screaming "NO NO NO!!! I WANT TO RETAKE APPLELOOSA NOW!!!"

"But your majesty we need to replenish our weapons and supplies first. The factories need to be rebuilt. We want to make sure that we win this battle," said Maud.

"LISTEN TO ME YOU ROCK FUCKING IDIOT!!! THE LONGER THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE CONTROLS APPLELOOSA AND OTHER CITIES, THE WORSE IT WILL GET FOR THE POPULATION THERE!!! shouted Luna.

"I know that, but I don't want to lose this battle. I too want to go there today, but that would be suicide. The more of our soldiers dies needlessly, the bigger the chances that Sombra will win the war," said a teary eyed Maud.

"Your majesty General Pie is right. We can't send the troops on a suicide mission because they are poorly equipped," said Twilight.

Luna pounds her head on the table several times crying. Everypony just watched in shock as the Empress broke down in front of them.

"I am sorry, but you are right Twilight. I just can't stand the fact that there are a million Equestrians suffering under Sombra's rule. I love my subjects so much that if I could give up my own life to save them, I would do it. The only reason why I have not committed suicide when Celestia died in my hooves or when this war started or even that massacre at the New Year festival is because the Equestrians needed me more than ever. Celestia please forgive me for being such a cry filly," said Luna as she hugged Twilght.

"Your majesty you are not a cry filly. What you just displayed is a sign that you care about your subjects. This is one of the things that separate you from ghouls like Sombra who is incapable of caring for anypony but himself," said Soarin.

"You are a great ruler. You have done so much for Equestria. Only a heartless sociopath would not cry for what happened," said Rainbow.

"I need to be strong. All of you are right. As soon as our military is ready, we will strike back at Sombra. And we will destroy him," said Luna.

Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, Soarin, and Rainbow talked for hours about war planning and a lot of other subjects including their families. They all attended the Wonderbolts banquet in the evening.

Soarin and Rainbow came back home very late at night.

"I saw everything on tv," said Fluttershy.

"It was truly an honour to be there. The Empress herself cried when she gave her condolences to my parents. I don't think that the Empress has even smiled once, not since this war started, She even said that the only reason why she has not committed suicide is because Equestria needs her," said Soarin.

"She really does care about Equestria. She even argued with General Maud Pie about retaking Appleloosa as soon as possible to save everypony there," said Rainbow.

"So she really is a nice pony in person. I feel sorry for her to have such a horrible excuse of a colt like Prince Blueblood as a nephew," said Fluttershy.

"Yes she is nice. I have a feeling that the Empress is not going to let Prince Blueblood get the throne if something bad happens to her. I think she would rather let her adoptive daughter Twilight Sparkle take it than Blueblood," said Soarin.

"Oh just the idea of Blueblood as emperor of Equestria scares me. He would be just as bad as that monster Sombra, and that leaves that nutjob Pinkamena Diane Pie as his empress consort" replied Fluttershy.

"I have a feeling that Blueblood might have something to do with the attack on Canterlot Plaza. If he does for his sake, he better not let the Empress find out or he is a dead colt. The notion of an Empress Pinkamena just creeps me out" said Soarin.

"Pinkamena as empress also scares me," said Rainbow.

One month later. Fluttershy wakes up and finds Soarin gone.

"I guess he went to the Wonderbolts Academy early," said Fluttershy.

She goes downstairs and finds the most wonderful surprise that made her jaw drop, the whole house full of roses, heart shaped decorations, candles, presents, chocolates, and candy.

Soarin comes out of the kitchen to find Fluttershy in the living room in a state of awe.

"It is all for you," said Soarin.

"I know you said that you were going to do something special, but I guess you really meant it," said Fluttershy.

"Well this is your first proper Hearts and Hooves day so I was hard at work last night to prepare all this for you while you were sleeping," said Soarin.

"You did all this by yourself?" asked Fluttershy.

"Well Rainbow helped me a little bit. She is off celebrating Hearts and Hooves day with that Bulk Biceps," said Soarin.

"Uhmm, this is absolutely wonderful Soarin. You went to do all this for me," said Fluttershy.

"Of course. You are the love of my life Fluttershy," said Soarin.

Fluttershy hugs and kisses Soarin in the mouth with tears of joy in her eyes "I love you Soarin."

"I love you too Fluttershy," replied Soarin.

"Oh but I have nothing for you Soarin," said Fluttershy.

"That's okay. Your presence here is good enough. I got real good food from a good catering service. So it is going to be like a fancy restaurant. I even got the best brand of apple cider," said Soarin.

"Wow, how did you get the caterers here?" asked Fluttershy.

"Well actually they came to Rainbow's house yesterday. Me and Rainbow have been planning this for a month. So me and Rainbow brought the half of the food here. I bet Bulk Biceps has already ate the rest of the food at Rainbow's house by now. I hope Rainbow got some of it," said Soarin.

"Oh my," said Fluttershy.

"Only the best for you Fluttershy," said Soarin.

Fluttershy and Soarin spend the rest of the day trying out candies, chocolates, watching tv and movies, and opening presents. Fluttershy got a lot fancy dresses and make up. Later in the evening Soarin prepared the candle lit dinner and waited for Fluttershy to come downstairs. She in with a fancy green dress with a butterfly shaped broche. She had make up on. Soarin's jaw dropped as he saw how elegant Fluttershy looked.

"You look beautiful," said Soarin.

"You really thinks so?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yes and I really mean it," said Soarin.

"Oh okay," said Fluttershy.

Flutterhshy and Soarin ate dinner and drank a lot of apple cider to the point they were a little drunk. They sat in front of the fireplace for a while until they went to upstairs. Fluttershy went to Soarin's room and jumped on his bed. She looked seductively at Soarin as she took her dress off. Fluttershy looked irresistible and Soarin jumped on the bed kissing Fluttershy and the two made love for the first time.

"I always that that I would never have sex. Things like love and sex were just for normal ponies not freaks like me," said Fluttershy.

"You are still a very attractive young mare. Seriously you are beautiful and also you are very kind. You deserved to be loved," replied Soarin.

"What we did felt so right. I never once drooled out that black bile. Come to think of it. I have not done that in a long time," said Fluttershy.

"Good thing or that would have killed the romantic mood," said Soarin.

"So I know now what is like to be a normal pony, mostly," said Fluttershy.

"Perhaps one day the rest of ponanity will accept you as me and Rainbow have," said Soarin.

"I am worried that if I have fillies. Would they inherit my deformities?" asked Fluttershy.

"Judging from what I read from the medical files I got together along with your birth certificate. You may have a congenital condition. It might not pass on to the next generation," said Soarin.

"That's good, but now I am angrier at my parents. They knew all this. They knew that it was only me who has this problem. My fillies would be normal ponies and yet they still threw me away and decided to end the family line with them," said Fluttershy.

"They will pay somehow. I know that they will go to Tartarus when they die," replied Soarin.

For the rest of the winter, Soarin and Rainbow would go to the Wonderbolts Academy making and carrying out plans with General Maud Pie. There were no more attacks like the Canterlot Plaza Massacre. The investigation concluded that the Crystal Empire had inside help to carry out the nerve gas attack. There were skirmishes but it seemed that the Crystal Empire was not ready or incapable of launching another big scale invasion like at the start of the war. The Equestrian military did not know if this was either a good sign that the Crystal Empire might be losing the war or it was a bad sign that they were planning something big. The Equestrian military recaptured many towns from the Crystal Empire, uncovering many sickening atrocities along the way. But Appleloosa however has a very large Crystal army occupying it. The city was turned into a giant military fortress.

"I just can't wait to end this war," said Rainbow.

"Me too. Everything that the Crystal Empire does sickens me. Not only they kill for fun, now we just learned that they take innocent civilians to the slave camps inside the Crystal Empire," said Soarin.

"Why?" asked Fluttershy.

"Probably to make weapons and ammunition. And knowing how sick Emperor Sombra's regime is, there might be pony experimentation in the labs," said Soarin.

"You mean that Sombra is experimenting on ponies? For what?" asked Fluttershy.

"To test weapons and to refine torture. I hear a lot of horror stories coming from inside of the Crystal Empire and especially their labs. Sombra for years has been torturing his own Crystal ponies. Sombra is kind to no one," said Soarin.

"That is disgusting," said Fluttershy.

"This war is not just driving away the Crystal Empire from Equestria, this is a war to save all of ponanity. We have to also end Sombra's enslavement of the Crystal population and if we lose this war. Then we suffer the Crystal ponies fate, we have to end Sombra rule forever," said Soarin.

"I wan to kill that bastard so badly," said Rainbow angrily.

"It is the will of Empress Luna that the war will continue until Sombra is overthrown and sent to Tartarus. Luckily Sombra is on a losing streak, replied Soarin.

"Time to go to the Wonderbolts Academy," said Rainbow.

"Right. We will be back later today," said Soarin as he kissed Fluttershy.

"Alright, I will prepare supper tonight" said Fluttershy.

Hours later Soarin and Rainbow returned home.

"How was your day?" asked Fluttershy.

"Good I suppose. We are now poised to retake Appleloosa from the Crystal Empire, but we have to lead the troops personally there. So we going to be gone for a while. But don't you worry because I am going to buy a three months supply of food so you don't have to go outside," said Soarin.

"Oh, will you two get hurt?" asked Fluttershy.

"Maybe, but we are skilled fighters. We can easily protect ourselves from those high screw ups from the Crystal army," replied Soarin.

"Yeah those fucking fools are going to lose Appleloosa," said Rainbow.

"Alright, I guess you two will be fine," said Fluttershy.

One week later Soarin and Rainbow prepared to go into battle.

"Fluttershy, look after my house. And do not answer to anypony unless it is either me or Rainbow, Lyra, Octavia, Cheese, and Vinyl alright," said Soarin.

"I know Soarin and please be careful you two," said Fluttershy as she kissed Soarin.

"We will be alright," said Rainbow.

Both Soarin and Rainbow went to the Wonderbolts Academy where many of the troops were preparing for battle and going onboard a fleet of airships. Soarin and Rainbow went inside of one of the airships and they found Empress Luna, General Maud Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike in the control room.

"Oh good you both are here. Now we can bring about the beginning of the end of Emperor Sombra," said a smiley faced Luna.

"Let's send some more Crystal sons of bitches to Tartarus," said Rainbow.

"Right Rainbow," said Soarin.

"Me, Colonel Sparkle, and General Pie shall personally lead the ground troops while you two take command of our forces in the air. The Crystal Empire will regret unleashing the wrath of this alicorn," said Luna.

The airships took off from Cloudsdale and landed just outside of Appleloosa where Empress Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, the troops, jeeps, and tanks disembarked. The airships went back to the sky only with the Wonderbolts Team onboard. The city skyline was filled with many damaged skyscrapers and there was a 30 foot tall concrete wall topped with barbed wire and pikes with severed heads on them surrounding the city's perimeter. Above Appleloosa was a fleet of Crystal airships. And all of the power lines along the main highway to Appleloosa had rotting corpses hanging from them and in the highway itself were burnt cars with charred skeletons inside them.

"This is disgusting. No wonder why this place is referred to as the Highway of Death," said Rainbow.

"Who knows what other atrocities are behind those walls," replied Soarin.

"I am definitely going to have nightmares about this," said Rainbow."

"Looks like we have to take out the airships first," said Soarin.

"Let's make some Crystal pigs go splat on the ground below," said Rainbow.

Then a large and muscular white Pegasus with a light amber mane named Bulk Biceps screamed "YEAH!!!"

The battle in the air began with airships firing missiles at each other while pegasi soldiers from both sides engaged in mid air hoof to hoof combat. Both Soarin and Rainbow slashed many Crystal troops with their swords sending them falling to their deaths while Bulk used his strength to ripped the limbs and wings off his enemies. The three pegasi landed in one of the crystal airships and fought their way into the control room.

"Let's go and crash this airship into the other airships," said Soarin.

"HALT IN THE NAME OF EMPEROR SOMBRA!!!" shouted the captain of the crystal airship as he and the other crystal soldiers fired their machine gun at Soarin, Rainbow, and Bulk.

The three pegasi jumped quickly out of the way.

"I got a present for you," said Bulk as he grabbed a grenade from the pocket of his uniform and tossed it at the enemy troops, blowing them to pieces.

The control room was a mess with body parts and damaged machinery all over the place.

"Good work Bulk my love," said Rainbow as she found the main controls of the airship.

The captain of the airship still alive with his back legs missing crawled with a knife towards Rainbow.

"It is not nice to stab a mare in the back you," said Bulk as he pounced on the injured Crystal officer and grabbed his knife and stabbed him under his muzzle, the blade sliced into his brain killing him.

"Oh thanks Bulk," said Rainbow.

"Your welcome," replied Bulk.

"I want this airship to run at full speed towards the other airships behind us," said Soarin.

"Ye sir," replied Rainbow as she turned the airship around.

Bulk jumps on the controls smashing it. The three pegasi flew out of the airship and watched as it crashed into another airship causing a domino effect on 10 airships. They all exploded and the fiery wreckages rain down upon the city below.

"Now most of the Crystal air force in Appleloosa as been taken out," said Rainbow.

"Now we must now go to the ground and help General Pie and the ground troops," said Soarin.

"YEAH!!! LET'S SEE IF THOSE BASTARDS ARE GOOD AT URBAN WARFARE!!!" exclaimed Bulk.

Luna, Maud, Twilight, and Spike led the ground troops to the wall, fighting off the Crystal forces along the highway. Both sides had tanks.

"YOU THINK THAT THIS WALL CAN STOP ME!!!" yelled Maud as she punched her way through the wall with her bare hooves.

Once Maud finished making a large hole in the wall, the ground troops stormed inside the city. Luna, Maud, Twilight, and Spike ferociously fought off the Crystal troops. Luna fired magical fireballs, Twilight blasted away the enemy with a machine gun, Spike breathed fire, and Maud pounced on the enemy troopswith her hooves shattering their ribs. Soarin, Rainbow, and Bulk joined up with Luna, Maud, Twilight, and Spike. Maud began stabbing the Crystal soldiers with the spike of her helmet by ramming her head against them like a raging bull. Behind the ground troops were a tv news crew filming the battle live.

Back in Cloudsdale Fluttershy watched the tv and saw the battle. The sight of the dead ponies in the "Highway Of Death" and the heads on the walls made her feel ill and she prayed "Faust please protect Soarin and Rainbow."

Back in Appleloosa Soarin, Rainbow, and Bulk reunited with Luna, Maud, Twilight , and Spike.

"Your majesty, most the Crystal airships have been destroyed," said Soarin.

"Good work Captain. Now we have to wipe out the Crystal ground forces in the city. We have to capture the Appleloosa City Hall for that is where the Crystal Command Center is," said Luna.

As the battle continued, the Equestrian Imperial Army makes more gruesome discoveries in the city. Rotting bodies nailed to the walls and hanged on street lamps. Some of the bodies were fillies. There were Crystal propaganda posters of Emperor Sombra everywhere proclaiming him as The Genius Of Ponanity, The Wise Helmscolt, and Concierge Of Magic. The local population look unusually thin. It was very clear that Appleloosa was suffering from a pony made famine. Once they saw the Equestrian Imperial Army coming they joined in the fight. Some of the ponies of Appleloosa went as far as dragging the Crystal soldiers behind cars all over the street. The loved ones of the ponies who were hanged in the street lamps cut the ropes down to retrieved the bodies and hanged the Crystal soldiers to death on the very same street lamps. The Equestrian army went house to house and building to building fighting the Crystal troop. Along the way in some of houses and apartment building the Equestrian army finds more dead bodies in various states of decay from fresh to partially skeletonised. The most decayed of the bodies must have died at the start of the war four months earlier. There were entire families were dead in their homes.

"Oh my Faust! This is horrifying!" said Soarin.

"This is why we must win this war at all costs Captain," replied a blood soaked Maud.

"I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THAT SON OF BITCH SOMBRA AND HIS ARMY OF GHOULS FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MY LITTLE PONIES!!! screamed a teary eyed Luna.

"The smell. The smell of rotting meat is everywhere," said a teary eyed Rainbow.

Bulk, Twilight, Maud, and Spike just cried silently.

The Equestrian army finally approached the Appleloosa City Hall which was a large building guarded by tanks.

"That is the command center. Let's send all those degenerates there to Tartarus," said Luna.

"YEAH!!!" said Bulk.

Back in Cloudsdale, a teary eyed Fluttershy saw all everything the tv crew filmed from the atrocities to the ongoing battle including the gruesome fights between the angry ponies of Appleloosa and the Crystal soldiers. "How could ponies do all this to other ponies? Is this what is like everywhere Sombra rules?"

Back in Appleloosa. The Equestrian tanks fought and destroyed the Crystal tanks guarding Appleloosa City Hall. One of the Equestrian tanks shot a missile at the front door of the City Hall blasting it away.

"NOW LET'S MOVE IN!!!" bellowed Luna as the Equestrian troops stormed in the building.

The inside of the City Hall was filled with many heavily armed Crystals soldiers. The walls were covered with pictures of Emperor Sombra and Crystal Empire propaganda posters. Maud, Soarin, Rainbow, and Bulk now armed with machine guns blasted away the Crystal soldiers. It was a room by room battle and when the Equestrian army went to the basement, they discovered that the Crystal Empire made a dungeon there with many starving and beaten ponies and buffaloes held in chains. The unicorns had their horns broken off and some of them bleed to death from their wounds in their foreheads.

"Oh thank Faust you are here. Please help us. None of us has eaten in days," said one of the prisoners who was a male earth pony with a light gold coat and a brilliant gamboge mane named Braerburn.

"Alright we will let you out," said Soarin as he cut the chains with his sword.

"Oh thank you. We were going to be executed by hanging tonight," said Braeburn.

"Why?" asked Soarin.

"Because me and all those here were part of a resistance group and we caused a lot of trouble to those Crystal pigs. You have to get the commander of the Crystal troops who calls himself "Governor" of Appleloosa. That canniballistic fillyphile is probably at the mayor's office on the top floor right now. Please save Little Strongheart, she is a young buffalo and a resistance fighter. They took her to the commander of the Crystal troops to be killed and cooked for his supper. The Crystal commander is a cannibal who has eaten ponies and buffalos. YOU HAVE TO SAVE HER!!!," said Braeburn.

"Alright we will keep an eye out for her," said Soarin as he freed all of the other prisoners.

"Thank you, I'll fight along side you," replied Braeburn.

"Okay, here take this rifle," said Soarin as he handed a assault rifle and a canteen of water to Braeburn which he drank it all up at once.

The Equestrian army fought it's way upstairs until they reached the top floor and in the kitchen they found ponies and buffaloes dismembered. Some of the body parts were getting roasted in the ovens. Soarin and some of the other Equestrian soldiers vomited at the gruesome sight while Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, Rainbow, and Bulk just stood silently in shock. Braeburn looked frantically at the dead bodies and then Braeburn finds the freezer room and finds frozen dead bodies of ponies and buffaloes hanging on meat hooks. He looks at them closely.

"None of them is Little Strongheart. I hope we are not too late," cried Braeburn.

"This is going to haunt me forever," said Soarin.

The Equestrian army stormed the rest of the top floor killing all of the Crystal soldiers there. Soarin, Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, Rainbow, Bulk, and Braeburn, found a large door that read "Mayor's Office."

"That is where the highest ranking monsters are. Oh Faust please let Little Strongheart be still alive," said Braeburn.

Bulk throws a grenade at the door blasting it away. The blast killed all those who were nearby. The five ponies storm in the room and found five ponies in red and black armour one of was a unicorn and he looked extremely vicious and he shouted "WHAT?!!! HOW DARE YOU INTERUPTED OUR DINNER YOU FILTHY MULES!!!"

"FILTHY MULES?!!! I AM THE EMPRESS OF EQUESTRIA AND I HAVE COME TO PERSONALLY SEND YOU MONSTERS TO TARTARUS!!! screamed Luna.

Braeburn looked at the table and saw a small roasted filly on a plate with an apple in it's mouth and he yelled "WHERE IS LITTLE STRONGHEART YOU DEGENATE FUCKS?!!!"

The vicious looking Crystal unicorn shouted back "FILTHY LUNA WORSHIPING EQUESTRIAN!!! YOU DARE DEFILE THIS ROOM WITH YOUR UNWANTED PRESENSE!!! I AM THE COMMANDER AND GOVERNOR OF THE CRYSTAL PROVINCE OF APPLELOOSA AND I ORDER YOU TO BACK AWAY FROM HERE!!!

"FUCK YOU!!!" bellowed Braeburn as he charged angrily at the Crystal governor.

The Crystal governor dodge Braeburn and use his unicorn magic to levitate Braeburn and threw him across the room. The Crystal Governor and the four other high ranking Crystal officials blasted away some of the Equestrian soldiers with machine guns. They run off to the damaged door.

"STOP THEM!!!" screamed Braeburn as he got up and chase the five Crystal ponies.

Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, Rainbow, Soarin, Bulk, and the surviving Equestrian soldiers followed Braeburn. The Crystal ponies blasted away any Equestrian soldier that got in there way as they head towards the elevators. They got in and shot at Braeburn until the elevator door closed but he dodged the bullets.

"FUCK!!! THEY ARE GETTING AWAY!!! yelled Braeburn.

"Nope. They are just going to the basement," said Luna as she blasted the elevator door open with a fireball from her horn.

Luna, Twilight, Braeburn, and Maud jumped on the top of elevator. The Crystal officials fired their machine guns up the ceiling of the elevator. Luna, Twilight and Maud jumped off and landed on another elevator. The bullets damaged the wires holding the elevator and it snapped sending the elevator crashing down to the basement below.

"What a bunch of idiots," said Twilight as she carried Maud and flew to the bottom of the elevator shaft with Luna who carried Braeburn.

Soarin, Rainbow, Bulk, and Spike ran to the basement and when to the elevator they found all of the prisoners standing in front of the elevator door as it opened. The five Crystal ponies were still alive but they were badly injured with broken limbs and the Crystal governor himself had his horn broken and it was gushing out blood. The prisoners grabbed the five Crystal ponies out of the elevator. The Crystal Governor got away from the angry mob and he crawled towards the stairs, Braeburn blocks him and bucks him in the face.

"AAARGH!!! YOU AGAIN?!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY MULE!!! screamed the Crystal Governor.

"TELL ME WHERE IS LITTLE STRONGHEART NOW OR I LET THOSE ANGRY PONIES AND BUFFALOES TO HAVE FUN WITH YOU!!! bellowed Braeburn.

"That little buffalo bitch was sent to a lab deep inside of the Crystal Empire proper," said the Crystal Governor.

"Thanks for the info," said Braeburn as he buck the Crystal Governor in the face again, sending him flying five feet back towards the angry mob.

"YOU PROMISED TO LET ME OUT!!! yelled the Crystal Governor.

"I promised you nothing," said Braeburn.

"PLEASE LET US GO!!!" screamed all of the five Crystal ponies.

"Why the fuck I should do that? Especially after what you did to Little Strongheart. Hmm? Now she is suffering a fate worse than death. Now she is going to tortured and experimented on," said Braeburn.

"Empress Luna please show us mercy," said the Crystal Governor.

Luna just stared at them with look of disgust on her face.

The Crystal governor crawls again but Twilight bucks him hard in the face sending ten feet away. The prisoners jumped on the five Crystal ponies, beating, stomping, and biting them. Their screams of agony were soon replaced by gurgling and chocking sounds and as well as the sounds of cracking bones. The prisoners then jumped back and the five Crystal ponies were no longer on the floor. Instead it was a large puddle of blood and some pieces of internal organs. The prisoner then hold up the severed torsos, heads, and limbs of the five Crystal ponies and then they threw them in the floor. They were literally ripped to pieces.

"What a fitting death for those ghouls," said a smiling Braeburn as Luna, Twilight, Spike, Maud, Soarin, Rainbow, Bulk and the rest of the Equestrian soldiers nodded in agreement.

Shortly afterwards Luna went to speak with the news crew outside of the City Hall and said "The Battle Of Appleloosa is over. Equestria is the victor. This was a major defeat for the Crystal Empire. All of the leaders of the occupational forces are dead. We uncovered numerous atrocities including systematic acts of cannibalism throughout the city. We also learned that a lot of the ponies of Appleloosa were taken to the Crystal Empire slave camps."

Back in Cloudsdale, Fluttershy prays "Please Faust let Soarin and Rainbow be alright."

Soarin, Rainbow, Bulk, Braeburn, Twilight, Spike, and Maud came out of the City Hall and joined Luna.

"Oh thank you Faust, They are alright," said Fluttershy.

The news team went inside of the City Hall, documenting everything from the dead soldiers from both sides to the dungeons where the prisoners and the dismembered remains of the five Crystal Ponies who previously were the rulers of Appleloosa. The camera closes in at the severed head of the Crystal Governor whose face was smashed in, his right eye was hanging out of his socket. The news teams also documented the gruesome scene in the kitchen and in the freezer. The news team eventually went to the Mayor's Office and documents the filly's roasted corpse on the dining table

Luna then speaks to the cameras once again in the Mayor's Office pointing at the filly's body "This is what Sombra wants for the whole world. Everypony should see all this. This is the evil that Equestria must face. This is why the Crystal Empire must be defeated at all costs."

Fluttershy vomits on the floor and drips out black bile from her mouth. Fluttershy cried hysterically for hours. She could not eat or sleep for days until she passed out. Once she went unconscious in the living room floor, she dreamt of the things she saw on tv like ponies and buffaloes hanging on meat hooks and the filly's cooked body. The only comfort Fluttershy had was that she knew that Soarin and Rainbow were alright.

One week later Soarin and Rainbow came back to Cloudsdale, both of them exclaiming at the front door "We're home."

Fluttershy opens the door and hugs both Soarin and Rainbow "I am so glad you two are back. I saw everything on tv. I will never get those horrible images like that of little roasted filly out of my head"

"Everypony is going to be haunted by all this forever," said Rainbow.

"I have decided to take you to a place where I can train you about using weapons. I don't want to take chances of those cannibalistic sons of bitches hurting you," said Soarin.

"Where?" asked Fluttershy.

"In a farm outside of Appleloosa. It is owned by somepony I rescued in the battle. His name is Braeburn. He has a weapons stash for the pro Equestria militia he was part of. He said that I could use his weapons and his farm to train the civilians that I know. It was his way of saying thanks to us," said Soarin.

"So I'll be shooting guns and stuff like that?" asked Soarin.

"Yes and you will also learn how to drive a tank, fight with swords, and even use a flamethrower. You have to learn how to fight properly. I don't want you to end up in a Crystal Empire lab," said Soarin.

"Call me crazy, but after what we saw in Appleloosa, I think everypony from all ages should know how to fight, even fillies," said Rainbow.

"It has gone that bad that the idea of arming fillies is not that crazy sounding. I mean we are fighting cannibalistic fillyphiles," said Soarin.

"So when I go to this farm?" asked Fluttershy.

"Tomorrow, you'll taken there by airplane. It will be perfect because I have to stay in Appleloosa for a while just in case there are still Crystal troops there and I get to be with you," said Soarin.

"Oh okay," replied Fluttershy.

The next day Soarin and Rainbow brought in a crate to put Fluttershy in.

"This reminds me of when you found me in the airship when the war started," said Fluttershy as she went inside of the crate.

"I wish I did not have to do this to you. Putting you in a crate," said Soarin.

"It's alright Soarin. I understand that I must not scare anypony," said Fluttershy.

Soarin and Rainbow lift the crate and put in in a army jeep. They drove to the airport. There Soarin and Rainbow lifted the crate and put it in a military plane.

"I am going to get Fluttershy out," said Soarin to Rainbow who was piloting the airplane.

Soarin lets Fluttershy out of the crate and takes her to the cockpit.

"We are going to landing in Braeburn's farm so no more crates for a while," said Soarin.

"Does this Braeburn know about me?" asked Fluttershy.

"Kind of. All I said to him was that I was going to be training my marefriend," said Soarin.

"I hope he does not get scared of me," said Fluttershy.

"After seeing so much depravity, I think he won't be scared of you since he has dealt with real monsters for four months straight," said Soarin.

"Oh okay," said Fluttershy.

The plane lands outside of Braeburn's farmhouse. Braeburn now wearing a Iron Crescent Medal around his neck comes out of the house to greet Soarin and Rainbow who came out of the plane.

"Hello Captain Soarin and Lieutenant Dash. So Soarin where is your mare friend you wanted to train?" asked Braeburn.

"She is in the plane, but I must tell you this. She is different from the rest of us," said Soarin.

"Well my marefriend Little Strongheart is a buffalo, so your marefriend won't bother me. I miss her so much," said a teary eyed Braeburn.

"She is a pegasus, but she was born with a congenital deformity," said Soarin.

"Poor thing, I am sure I won't get freaked out," said Braeburn.

"Okay. Fluttershy you can come out now," said Soarin.

Fluttershy comes out of the plane and walks towards Soarin, Rainbow, and Braeburn.

"Uhmm hello. My name is Fluttershy Cobblewing," said Fluttershy shyly.

"OH MY FAUST!!! YOUR MAREFRIEND IS THE PEGABAT MARE OF THE SEWERS!!! My cousins from Ponyville talked about you a lot. Do you know Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Macintosh? They run a apple cider company," asked Braeburn.

"Yes, unfortunately," replied Fluttershy.

"I'm sorry for Big Mac's horrid behaviour towards you. He can be a paranoid, stubborn, and pinheaded mule at times. Applejack and Applebloom are still sad about what happened to you," said Braeburn.

"I don't know if I can forgive Big Mac easily. I was almost killed that night. I am not a cannibal. Real cannibals look like normal ponies," said Fluttershy.

"That is so true. Oh my cousins said that said you went by the name Tammy," said Braeburn.

"That was the name the circus gave me. I found out recently like last Hearth's Warming Eve about my real name," said Fluttershy.

"Good for you. It seems that I have nothing to fear from you since you are with these two great heroes Soarin and Rainbow Dash. You are welcome to use my farm and weapons," said Braeburn.

"Thanks," said Fluttershy.

Author's Note

Stay tuned for Chapter 8 as Fluttershy is trained to use weaponry

Chapter 1

It was a very cold snowy night in Ponyville, a dark, gothic, and industrialized nightmare of a metropolis. In a mansion on the outskirts of town lived a couple of aristocratic pegasi named Tucker and Esther Cobblewing.

Tucker was in the large living room on the third floor. a fireplace on one wall and a Hearth Warming tree right next to the window that Tucker was looking out from. Tucker was a yellow pegasus with a brown mane and a monocle on his right eye. He was very worried about his wife Esther, a yellow pegasus with a pink mane, in the bedroom across the large hallway at the other side of the living room giving birth to their first filly.

Tucker had good reasons to be worried because a few months earlier Esther was bitten by a vampire fruit bat in the stomach. She recovered, but it was not known that the filly inside was harmed. Ponyville had a chemical factory explosion which affected many animals including fruit bats which made them into vampire bats, and the deers became carnivores.

Empress Luna sent the Equestrian Imperial Army to hunt down and kill these animals after many ponies were injured and killed. It is has been only a week since Tucker last heard gunshots and screams coming from outside and almost every time he went outside for the past few months. And he would usually see soldiers shooting vicious bats and deer and mangled bodies of dead ponies. It seems that all of the murderous animals have been killed.

Esther was screaming in pain as the doctor and a couple of nurses were helping her to give birth. Tucker heard the screams and labour breathing very loud and clear. And then Esther screamed more louder than ever as if it was a scream of fear. Then she just made breathing sounds of relief then a baby filly's cry came.

Esther just gave birth, but a few seconds later the nurses ran out of the bedroom completely scared and so Tucker ran through the corridor. Then the doctor too ran out but he was slower because he was carrying his equipment in a large suitcase and passed Tucker. When Tucker went inside the bedroom the doctor stopped and turned around and he heard Tucker scream while the filly cried.

Two weeks later at Hearth's Warming Eve Tucker and Esther were looking outside from the large living room window which a view of Ponyville's snowy skyline drinking cider. Then they turned around to see a small cage on the floor ratting with a couple of small hooves and a couple of bat like wing sticking out.

It was there baby daughter who they named Fluttershy. She was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and teal eyes just like her mother, but she born with bat wings instead of bird wings like a normal pegasus, and she was also born with a set of sharp teeth. The filly usually behaved like a normal filly, but today she rattled the cage violently because she was in there for two days and she had not fed, not since her parents put her there.

Before Fluttershy was put in the cage she really enjoy apple sauce, but her parents grew ashamed of her for they were of a noble family and for them to have half bat for a filly was too embarrassing for them.

Then the family cat came in she was a white long haired cat she took noticed of the filly in the cage. Fluttershy stopped shaking the cage bars and her hoof out through the bars and grabbed the cat and her through the cage bars then the cage rattled for a few seconds then it stopped.

Tucker and Esther just swallowed the whole glass of cider in one gulp and they went to the cage to see what Fluttershy did to the cat, but then they heard purring they looked inside the cage and they looked inside the cage, the cat was cuddling with Fluttershy.

But since Tucker and Esther only cared about what the other members of high society think of them and they could not take it as being parents to a abnormal looking filly even though the filly is normal aside from for her looks. They did not want to be looked down as the couple with the freak baby so an insidious thought came to their mind and they plotted to get rid of their embarrassment once and for all.

Later that night Tucker and Esther took Fluttershy out of the cage and put her into a basket. The basket was put on a carriage and Tucker and Esther went out into the wintery park near where the zoo is.

The Ponyville Zoo was a strange looking place full of statues of animals, amusement park rides and large spirals and behind the zoo was the Ponyville skyline which was filled with large arches, spirals, and skyscrapers.

The Ponyville Zoo was abandoned months earlier when the vampire bat epidemic began, for the zoo was the sight of a gruesome massacre, most of the animals, except for the rabbits went mad and killed 100 ponies. The Ponyville police had to kill the animals and shut down the zoo, but the vampire bats escaped.

As the Cobblewings walk towards a bridge a unicorn couple with a purple unicorn filly in a carriage passed them saying "Happy Hearth Warming Eve." The Cobblewings recognised them, it was Night Light, and his wife Twilight Velvet and their newborn filly Twilight Sparkle who was born on the same night as Fluttershy. They are a another aristocratic family but they were not selfish snobs like the Cobblewings.

So both Tucker and Esther only said back "Happy Hearth's Warming Eve," and waited till the unicorns were gone then they continued towards the bridge. Once they were on the bridge Tucker and Esther looked around to see if anybody was near, but they were alone.

They looked over the bridge and under was a river that lead to a sewer drain. Tucker and Esther decided that this is were they would get rid of their embarrassment and they went straight to do their heartless deed. They both picked up the basket from the carriage with Fluttershy inside it and toss it over the bridge into the river.

The basket floated down the current towards the sewer drain Tucker and Esther just watched as the their baby was being sent to a watery grave in the frozen sewers , but they did not felt remorse only relief they watched the basket until it fell into the sewer drain with Fluttershy crying.

The basket floated in the dark, frozen sewers with the stormdrains on the ceiling providing light into the sewers. Then the basket float through a broken grate into a large room that looked like a aquarium with seats in one side that looked like it belonged in a stadium and in the other side a large power generator.

And in the middle of the room is a concrete island with a stone iceberg on it the basket floated towards the island were it reached the edge were the filly was greeted by the rabbits that lived in the zoo.

20 years later Ponyville is now even more more larger city and it is Hearth Warming Eve time everypony was out doing there Hearth Warming Eve shopping. In the Ponyville Plaza which is a large square surround with giant statues of ponies including two very large one pulling down giant levers in one side.

And between these two statues was a large Hearth Warming Eve tree and a podium there was some ponies there including a beauty queen named Derpy Hooves a blueish gray pegasus with a apple green mane who also had crossed eyes.

She went up to the podium and spoke to the microphone "Can I have your attention Ponyville, it is time for tonight's lighting of the Hearth Warming Eve tree".

Then she pushed the button that was top of a big box next to the podium which it looked like big present then the Hearth Warming Eve Tree light up and in the loudspeaker came out the Christmas song We Wish You A Merry Hearth' Warming Eve. All of the ponies in the plaza cheered on, but there was somepony under the storm drain watching the Hearth's Warming Tree lighting ceremony.

This pony wrapped it's hooves around the bars of the storm drain for a few seconds before it put it's hooves down. Atop from the storm drain a young newspaper colt was passing around newspapers and all of the front pages were about reported sightings of a half bat half pony in the sewers.

The newpaper colt was talking aloud "Hideous bat pony living in Ponyville's sewers read all about." Then a small dragon named Spike walked passed the Newspaper colt and the Newspaper colt put a newspaper in front of him and asked Spike "Are you concerned about this monster Pegabat living beneath us?"

"I don't have time to read such garbage most of the time it is a waste of time," snapped Spike.

Then Spike walked off annoyed and the newspaper colt just said back to Spike sarcastic "Yeah whatever," Then he continued with harping aloud about the Pegabat creature in the sewers.

As soon as Spike stepped off the sidewalk into the streets he heard something moved by the storm drain. He turned around to see if anything was there, but it was nothing there so he just brushed it off and continued with his Hearth Warming Eve shopping.

Across the street there was a large building called Rich's Department Store it was a spiral shaped tower and at the top of the building was a large rotating metal cat head which is the logo of Rich Enterprises. At the top floor there was a conference room. In there was Mayor Carrot Cake and Filthy Rich the CEO of Rich Enterprises two of the most powerful ponies in Ponyville along side with other important ponies.

Mayor Carrot Cake was a light amber earth pony with a orange mane who was a owner of a bakery and catering business who won last year's election against the long time incumbent Mayor Mare, and Filthy Rich was a grayish amber earth pony with a dark gray mane. "I hope we a good Hearth Warming Eve this year because Ponyville has not had good one in a long while," Mayor Cake said to Filthy Rich.

"I feel vulgar to bring this up in this yuletide season but we got break ground when we got to break ground for my new power plant I need permits and all that pesky nonsense," Filthy Rich replied.

"Filthy we got surplus of power enough to get us into the next century," Mayor Cake said back.

"SURPLUS?!!! THAT IS NOT A SURPLUS THAT'S A MILD SWELLING!!!," yelled Filthy Rich.

Filthy calmed himself and continued talking "Imagine Ponyville of the future, like a blanket of stars, with the lights blinking on and off, sadly the batteries are low on juice, frankly I cringe, Mr. Mayor."

Mayor Cake replied "I'm sorry Filthy, but you have to go to the usual committees through the usual channels."

Then a voice spoke from the other side of the conference room "I got a suggestion."

Then Filthy Rich, Mayor Cake, and the other politicians who were at the meeting turned around to see who said that. It was a white unicorn with a purple mane named Rarity.

She stood there nervously holding a coffee pot with her unicorn magic, she continued "Actually more of a question."

Then Filthy said to everybody in the room with a smirk on his face "It seems I have not housebroken my assistant Miss Rarity, but she makes a hell of a good coffee."

Then everybody laughed. Only Rarity remained quiet and she was embarrassed that she got laughed at be the most powerful ponies in Ponyville except for Empress Luna who is in Canterlot and Princess Twilight Sparkle who is a recluse who rarely attends meetings, but is scheduled to meet Filthy Rich tomorrow.

Then came a pale megenta earth filly with a violet mane came in the room wearing a tiara. It was Diamond Tiara the daughter of Filthy Rich. "Dad, Mr. Mayor time to bring joy to the masses," said Diamond Tiara.

Then everybody knew it was time to end the meeting there and go to the Ponyville Plaza, so they all left the room in a hurry.

Only Rarity stayed behind to clean up the room talking to herself "Actually more of a question, I am a such a stupid corndog."

Down in the sewers the pony who was watching the tree lighting ceremony was on the move to another storm drain to watch the festivities on the surface, it had bat like wings.

As Mayor Cake and Filthy Rich walked out of Rich's Department Store they continued talking. "You know there are enough people who work for me that would make enough signatures to make a recall election, that's not a threat it is just simple numbers," Filthy Rich said.

"Well maybe, but you don't have a issue Filthy and sure hell you don't have a candidate," Mayor Cake scoffed back.

Then they stopped at a pony dressed as Santa Hooves raising money for charity, Filthy Rich pulled out two 50 bit bills with Empress Luna image on and gave it to the Santa pony smiling for the cameras as the reporters were taking pictures, and then Filthy, Diamond, Mayor Cake and the other continued walking as the Santa pony looked at the banknotes with a sad look on his face as it turns out only the bill on the front was worth 50 bits but the other was a 5 bit banknote instead of a another 50 bit bill.

Filthy Rich, Diamond Tiara, Mayor Cake, and the other dignitaries went up to the podium, then Mayor Mare went up to the microphone and began his speech "I would like to say on behalf of city hall Happy Hearth Warming Eve, and we have a pony who needs no introduction for he has given so much to our city, we welcome Ponyville's very own Santa Hooves, Filthy Rich."

Then Mayor Mare handed the podium to Filthy Rich, but before he begins his speech he grabs a bunch of presents from a pile next to him and toss them to the cheering crowd.

Then Filthy Rich walks to the podium to begin his speech, but meanwhile back in the conference room Rarity was still cleaning up the place putting away the coffee cups from a wall with many pictures of Filthy with many famous ponies including Empress Luna who is a dark blue alicorn with a sapphire blue mane who wears a black tiara, who has been Equestria's sole for 1000 years ever since her sister Princess Celestia was killed in a fight againts a demonic centaur named Lord Tirek. Ever since then the nights are unusually longer, and her image is on all of the bit coins, banknotes, postage stamps, medals, and even statues of her are erected all over the Equestrian Empire, she talked to herself "Go pick up the contracts for personnel, pick up the dry cleaning, and get the paper towels."

And then Rarity remembers something very important "Oh damn it."

She looks at a counter at the wall and there was some paper, it was Filthy Rich's speech then Rarity grabs her boss's speech and runs downstairs and hopefully gives it before Filthy starts his speech.

Back down in the plaza Filthy realizes something is wrong and talks to Diamond "I forgot my speech, remind me to take it on what's her name umm Rarity I think it is her name."

Then Filthy looks at the crowd thinking up a new speech in his head and he came up one "Santa Hooves afraid not, I am just a poor colt who got lucky and sue me if I want to give something back." The crowd cheered as he continued "I only wish I can give more than expensive presents, I wish I can hand out world peace and unconditional love wrapped in a big bow." The crowd cheered again as Filthy finished the speech he made up on the spot.

Down in under the storm drain the pony spoke in a female voice " Oh but you can Filthy, oh but you will."

Then a giant present rolled in the plaza surprising everybody in the plaza. "Great idea Filthy," said Mayor Mare.

"Not mine," replied Filthy.

Then the present exploded with confetti and came out these weird circus ponies.

From clowns to fire jugglers and even skull masked ponies in motorcycles and they started to attack the innocent ponies. Rarity walked out of the entrance of Rich's Department Store only to be shocked to find that a riot has broken out in Ponyville Plaza.

The police came in immediately but they overwhelmed by the psycho clowns, but these circus themed psychos were heavily armed and they were shooting at the ponies, police and civilians alike killing some of them including Pegasuses that were flying in the air were shot down, while others were setting ponies on fire, some of the thugs were throwing bombs around which caused more deaths, the skull masked biker clowns were running over ponies and even some clowns with chainsaws butchering ponies and there were also a lot of mugging too.

Derpy Hooves ran off the podium and pushed out of the way an elderly orange earth pony with a yellow mane named Granny Smith causing her to fall to the floor as the dimwitted Derpy flew out of plaza to save herself.

Ponyville Plaza was now a war zone with filled with destruction, chaos, and carnage. As more of these circus themed thugs came out of the giant present including a large clown bear named Larry, a azure unicorn with a blue mane wearing a blue wizard hat and a blue cape named Trixie appeared together with two small colts named Snips and Snails. Snips was a gray unicorn with a orange mane and Snails was a amber unicorn with a turquoise mane.

She used her magic to summon a organ grinder and it played music, but then it stopped and then the front panel opens revealing a machine gun. Trixie uses her magic on the organ grinder and it started to shoot bullets at the Hearth Warming Eve Tree while yelling "TAKE THAT TANNENBAUM!!!." She continued firing her machine gun organ grinder till all of the lights on the Hearth Warming Eve Tree were off.

Nearby a minotaur named Iron Will was rampaging on the street grabbing a stop sign and savagely beating ponies with it including one dressed as Santa Claus. A police car drove near by him and Iron Will just threw the stop sign on the windshield smashing it.

Inside of the police car is Police Commissioner Romana a sky blue unicorn with a blue mane with a white stripe and another police pony. Romana orders the police pony "What are you waiting for call headquarters to get the signal on."

On the outskrits of Ponyville atop a seaside cliff there stood a huge mansion. On the sky a appeared a round light that originated from a search light from the city it has a large letter M in the center of the light on the sky. The roof of the mansion had glass that moved when the signal appear on the sky it reflected the light into one of the windows of the mansion.

There in the dark library sat Princess Twilight Sparkle a purple alicorn with a dark blue mane. She just sat in silence just thinking then she was disturbed when the searchlight appeared through the window into the wall. Twilight just stood up and looked at the window to see the big M in the dark clouds in the sky.

Spike came in the room with the bags of groceries and Hearth Warming Eve presents he just bought in town. Spike noticed the search light with the M in it was in the room and in the sky. "I shall get your Mare Do Well costume ready Twilight." Then Twilight ran out of the room.

From the sewers the bat winged pony looked at the sky and told herself "It seems that Mare Do Well is coming."

At the podium Trixie asks Mayor Cake "We want the big guy, the guy who runs the show?"

Mayor Mare steps forward and asks back "What do you want?"

Then Trixie yells back "NOT YOU!!!" Then one of the clown ponies punches Mayor Cake in the face.

"WE WANT FILTHY RICH!!!," replied Trixie as she pointed at Filthy.

"You come to come through me." said Diamond Tiara as she jump in between her father and Trixie.

Snips, Snails, and the clowns just points their weapons from guns to swords at Diamond. "Dad go save yourself, DAD GO!!!" said Diamond as Filthy ran away from the podium.

On the road in outskirts of town a big black car with fire coming out of the exhaust pipe in the back was racing toward Ponyville at a great speed.

Back in the plaza Filthy is trying to find a safe way out of the plaza as he walked around the chaotic scene, one of the skull masked biker clowns nearly run him over as a clown pony was firing a semi automatic gun nearby.

Down below the bat winged pony was on the move again.

Filthy came close to a fire breathing pony dressed as a devil torching a toy store when Filthy saw that he continued running as ponies who tried to get out of the plaza were being set on fire by a couple of fire jugglers who were blocking the exit.

The big black car enters the plaza and it is Mare Do Well behind the wheel. Mare Do Well is Twilight's other identity she now wore a black cape, a mask that covered her face expect her mouth, and even a black hat, and on her chest was a yellow oval logo with the letter M in black.

Mare Do Well looked two fire jugglers who were blocking the entrance to the plaza so she simply ran them over with her Mare Do Well Mobile killing them.

A couple of Skull masked biker clowns charged at the Mare Do Well Mobile but a machine gun appeared on the hood of the black car and they were shot off their motorcycles.

A clown pony was chasing a mare while firing his semi automatic gun, but he got run over by Mare Do Well he ended up in the windshield shooting at the glass as another clown jumped on the windshield to help his fellow psycho clown but the bullets did not damage to the windshield.

Mare Do Well drove around till she stomped her hoof on the stop pedal in front of the burning toy store, sending the two clown ponies flying into the toy store burning them to death.

The fire breathing devil pony blew fire at the Mare Do Well Mobile but it had no effect on the black car. Mare Do Well turned the car around and pushed a button which turned the flaming exhaust pipe into a flamethrower setting the fire breather in fire, she drove to the other side of the plaza as the fire breather screamed in agony and then falls to the snow covered ground dead.

Rarity who was cowering near the entrance of Rich's Department Store the whole time that the massacre took place then a clown pony grabbed Rarity and held a stun gun on her neck.

Mare Do Well stopped the her car and came out, only to have a bunch a clowns charging at her, but they were no match when she just punched and kicked them hard enough that blood splattered from their faces and even had their necks broken when she twisted some of the thugs heads backwards.

Mare Do Well walked up to Rarity and the clown with the stun gun. "TAKE ONE MORE STEP MISS MARE DO WELL AND SHE GETS IT!!!," the clown yelled while firing the stun gun in the air with electrical sparks coming out.

Mare Do Well grabs her gun and fires at the clown, but hitting the wall behind him.

The clown just laugh and said "You missed."

Then Mare Do Well used her magic to get the bullet out of the wall which it flew right into the back of the clown's head killing him. As the clown falls to the ground Rarity screamed.

Mare Do Well stared at Rarity silently. "Wow the Mare Do Well or is it just Mare Do Well?" said Rarity.

Mare Do Well did not say anything and just walked away.

"Umm your choice of course," said Rarity but Mare Do Well still did not say anything back as she walked away.

"Well that was brief," said Rarity and she looked down at the dead clown and took notice of his stun gun which was still on his hoof. She picked it up and looked at it. Rarity then decided to try it out and zapped the dead clowns arm which it moved a little bit till she stopped the stun gun. Rarity giggled nervously and decided to take the stun gun home.

The surviving circus themed thugs fled the plaza.

"Thanks for saving the day Mare Do Well, I am afraid that the Purple Square Circus Gang is back," said Commissioner Romana.

"We'll see," replied Mare Do Well and then she went back to the Mare Do Well Mobile and drove away.

Mayor Cake walked up to Commisioner Romana and said "Those lunatics almost make off with our mover and shaker Filthy Rich, but where is that insufferable son of a bitch?"

In a alley outside of the plaza Filthy Rich stopped to take a breath from all of that running. The bat winged pony was right under him and she pushed a button on the sewer wall. The ground under Filthy opened up and he fell into the sewers bellows it was a trap door that he was standing on.

A little later in the night at the Old Ponyville Zoo now runned down looking for it's abandonment 20 years earlier. It was a surreal place filled with giant statues of all kinds of animals including a dragon, empty cages, amusement park rides that included a ski lift with seats that looked like cockatrices.

And in the center of the zoo was a structure that looked like a iceberg with a statue of a polar bear the top along with big letters that said "CRYSTAL WORLD" and at the bottom of the structure was a glass skylight that overlooked into the room under the iceberg shaped structure.

In there Filthy who lost consciousness when he fell into the trap door in the alley awoken in a underground room he was in a concrete island surrounded by water in one side of the cavernous room in the sewers was a row of seats across the water and in the other side was a large power generator.

Filthy saw the circus thugs, they were eating dinner in a large dinning table. Something jumped across Filthy's hooves startled him when he looked down it was a white rabbit. Then the white rabbit hopped towards a large group of rabbits were the bat winged pony was feeding them with carrots and apples.

The bat winged pony turned around and said "Hi."

It was Fluttershy Cobblewing now a grown mare, she is still a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane, and with sharp teeth. She would have been a very acttractive pony if she did not had these bizarre deformities. And she had a sickly look on her, she had small dark circles in her eyes.

"I believe the word you are looking for is AAAAHHHH!!!" The Pegabat continued "Actually this is all a bad dream, you are at home in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably, dying of the carcinogens you personally spewed in a lifetime of profiteering, tragic irony or poetic justice, you tell me?"

"Oh my sweet Faust, it is true, that weird mare in the sewer exists," said Filthy to himself.

The Pegabat walked up to a colourful barrel with a bunch of weapons and umbrellas and grabbed one of the frilly umbrellas and said "Odd as it may seem Filthy,you and I have something in common."

The Pegabat pointed the umbrella upward and out came a stream of fire, the umbrella was a flamethrower.

The Pegabat put back the flame thrower in the barrel and grabbed another one and continued talking "We are both perceive as monsters," then a sword appears at the top of the umbrealla appears then it went back inside of the umbrella.

The Pegabat put the sword umbrella back in the barrel grabbed another one and walked passed Filthy saying "But somehow you are a respected monster and I am to date not."

"I am a business colt, tough yes, shrewd maybe, but that does not make me a monster," replied Filthy.

"Don't embarrass yourself Filthy, I know all about you, what you hide I discover, what you put your toilet I place on my mantle, get the picture," said the Pegabat as she opened the umbrella and point it at Filthy.

It had black and white swirls and the umbrella moved clockwise.

"Is that suppose to hypnotise me?" asked Filthy.

"No, just to give you a splitting headache," replied the Pegabat.

"It's not working," said Filthy.

A loud noise like a gunshot came out of the umbrella and made Filthy to jump back.

"You big filly, it is just blanks, you think that I went all the trouble tonight just to kill you, no Filthy I have an entire other purpose and it not drinking your blood, unless you have pure apple juice flowing in your veins," the Pegabat said.

The Pegabat walk towards Filthy with sad look on her face "I am ready Filthy, I have been down here too long, it is time for me to ascend, to re emerge."

The Pegabat then pointed her hoof at Filthy "With your help, your know how, your savvy, I was not born in a sewer you know."

Then the Pegabat pointed her umbrella towards the skylight with tears in her eyes "I come from like you and like you I some respect, a basic recognition of my basic ponanity."

The Pegabat became even more sadder as more tears rolled out of her large eyes and there was this black drool that came out of her mouth "But most of all I want to find out who I am by finding my parents learning my pony name. Simple stuff that the good ponies of Ponyville take for granted."

Filthy simply asked in a unfeeling tone for he did not care about the Pegabat's problems "Tell me exactly why should I help you?"

The Pegabat's demeanour changed from sad to annoyed and she smirked baring her sharp teeth with streaks of black drool on her chin and said "Well, let's start shall we."

Then she sat down a throne that was next to the colourful barrel of umbrellas and looked at her top minions. Iron Will had a big red Hearth Warming Eve stocking with the words Filthy sewed in gold on it, and he pass it to to Larry then he passed it to Trixie, and then she passed it to the Pegabat. "Oh look, let's what got in here," the Pegabat said in a mocking curious tone.

"That's the Hearth Warming Eve stocking my late grandmother made for me when I was a young filly, how did you get it? It's suppose to be in my bedroom," said Filthy with a shocked look on his face.

"Oh we got your granny's Hearth Warming Eve stocking exactly the same way we got it's contents," replied the Pegabat.

Then she pulled out of the bag a canister filled with a green liquid and opened it and pour it's contents on the desk in front of the throne, it was a thick green sludge that fumed as it touched the desk.

"A batch of toxic waste from your so called clean textile plant, there is a whole lagoon of this crap in the back," said the Pegabat.

"That could have come from anywhere," replied Filthy.

"What about the documents that proved that you own half of the fire traps in Ponyville?," asked the Pegabat.

"If they were such documents and that is not an admission, I would have personally have them shredded," said Filthy.

Then the Pegabat looked inside the bag and pulled out a roll of paper that looked shredded but taped back together "A lot of tape and a little patience make all of the difference," replied the Pegabat as she put down the shredded documents on the desk.

"By the way how is Cranky Doodle Donkey your old partner?," asked the Pegabat.

"Umm Cranky, umm he is on a extended vacation for the past week, yeah he is on a vacation he is doing good," said Filthy with a smirk on his face.

"Oh yeah doing good," replied the Pegabat as she went to look inside the bag and pull out something gruesome, a severed gray front hoof.

"Hi Filthy remember me I'm Cranky's hoof, hey you wanna greet any other body parts?," said the Pegabat as she waved the hoof in front of Filthy's face.

Filthy just jumped back in fear for somepony knows that he had his business partner murdered recently.

The Pegabat got off the throne and walked towards the startled Filthy and said "Remember Filthy, you flushed it, I flaunt it."

It became very clear to Filthy that this was blackmail and if he does not help the Pegabat then she will tell the police of his wrong doings and he could end up getting the electric chair just having his partner Cranky butchered over a business disagreement.

"Miss Pegabat I think I can arrange a welcome home scenario for you, perhaps we can help each other out," said Filthy calmly.

"You won't regret this Mr. Rich and let's shake hooves on it," said the Pegabat happily as she handed over Cranky's hoove to Filthy shaking it then walked away.

Filthy now holding Cranky's hoof only say to the severed body part "Greetings."
