Equestria Under Siege

“Too soft!?” I asked “That was too much!”

She looked confused, but I was meaning what I said, I mean, she just killed all of them and made the last one explode like if it was the Chinese new year

“What do you mean?” Ayla asked, she seemed confused

“You just killed all of them, and you overkilled the last one!” I said

“Oh, come on!” Ayla said, she seemed bothered “It was nothing!”

“It was something.” Celestia said “Even though they wanted to rape us, you didn’t have to kill them, knocking them out would have been enough.”

Everyone was staring at Ayla with fear, but Celestia, she stared at her, but she was not scared, she was indifferent.

“Bu… wha…” Ayla mumbled “But… They wanted to kill us! I had to kill them!”

“No, you didn’t have to.” said Celestia, firmly

“What other choice did I have!?” Ayla was demanding an answer

“You could have knocked them out, you could scare them and make them flee, or something like that!” Celestia affirmed

“But…” Ayla mumbled again, she was getting nervous, it seemed like Celestia’s gaze made her get awkward

“But nothing.” Celestia said firmly

“Ok…” said Ayla

I knew Ayla was filled with fury, she had never lost a fight before, but this time, with different kind of people and different kind of customs, she had no chance

“Ok, next time some creepy guys come here and try to kill us, I’ll try to remember I must not kill them.” Ayla said, kind of angry

“Good.” Celestia said

The others were still scared, but after they saw Celestia control the situation, they calmed down a little

“Anyways… I think we should go back to Canterlot sister.” said Luna “We have stuff to do.”

“Oh, right.” Said Celestia “We should be going.”

Then Celestia came close to me, and I felt warm all of a sudden

“I hope we can see you again sometime, maybe in a more calmed situation” Celestia said, her face was very close to mine, but then she moved away

“Oh, Night Wolf.” said Luna “Whenever you have some, you know, free time, come and visit us.”

Celestia and Luna opened their wings and went flying

“Umm… I should get going, I have a special dress I need to finish.” Rarity said “Night Wolf, darling, if you ever need a suit or you ever get some free time and you want to talk, come and see me.”

After saying that, she kissed me on the cheek, and she went

“Yeah, we should start repairing Sugar Cube Corner.” said Rainbow Dash “Right guys?”

“Oh, yes! We should!” said Pinkie Pie “We’ll see you later Night Wolf!”

Rainbow and Pinkie went and began working on the repairs

“Night Wolf, could you make me a favor?” asked Twilight

“Sure, what is it?” I asked

“Could you please take Fluttershy back to her house?” she asked “I’m afraid that all the sound of the repairs in here won’t let her rest enough”

“Sure, I’ll take her home” I said

“Thank you” Twilight smiled

Then she went back to Sugar Cube Corner, I decided to get inside as well and take Fluttershy to her cottage.

“Um… hey, Night Wolf” Ayla said, right before I entered through the door

“Yes?” I asked “What do you need?”

“Umm… can I go with you?” Ayla asked, kindly “I mean, if you don’t mind”

“Huh, this is the first time you ask me something kindly.” I replied “I’m surprised.”

“Just, answer my question” Ayla said, she was blushing, I guess Celestia really affected her

“Ok, you can come with us.” I replied

Ayla decided to wait for me outside while I went inside for Fluttershy. When I got in the room where she was supposed to be resting, I found her, sleeping on the bed, she was peaceful, I didn’t want to wake her up, but I had to

“Umm… Fluttershy…” I said, kindly

“Huh?” Fluttershy said “What?”

“It’s time to go back.” I replied

“Oh, but, can I ask you a favor?” Fluttershy asked

“Yes?” what is it?” I asked

“Umm… can you… carry me back?” she asked “I mean… if you can…”

“Huh?” I was confused “carry you back? What’s wrong?”

“Well… I can’t really move, my legs and wings really hurt.” Fluttershy said

“Oh, I see.” I replied “Don’t worry, I’ll carry you back home.”

“Oh, thank you.” Fluttershy said, she seemed happy, but I could see she was weak

I lift her up, and she hugged my neck to hold herself. While we were going down the stairs, I could hear the voices of the girls, they were fixing Sugar Cube Corner, we passed near them and they talked to us

“Hey Fluttershy” Twilight said “How are you feeling?”

Fluttershy didn’t reply, she was very tired

“She is not feeling well…” I said “She is just very tired, I’m taking her to her cottage”

“Oh, ok” said Twilight “I hope she gets better soon”

Then Twilight went back on reconstructing

When we got outside, I saw Ayla, she was leaning close to the door, she noticed us a couple of seconds later

“Oh, hey” said Ayla “What’s up with her?”

“Oh, she is feeling weak” I replied “We should get her home now”

Ayla nodded in approval, and we moved on

Fluttershy fell asleep on my arms, she looked so cute, and I was glad she fell asleep, I didn’t want her to see what Ayla did, it would have been too much for her

Ayla was pretty quiet this time, I wondered why, but I didn’t want to risk making too much noise

After a while, we got to Fluttershy’s cottage, it had the windows destroyed and the door as well

“Huh, I’ll have to fix this later” I told to myself

“What?” Ayla asked, confused

“Oh, it’s nothing” I said “Anyways, welcome to Fluttershy’s cottage”

“Huh, this seems nice” Ayla affirmed

We entered the cottage and I took Fluttershy to her room so she could rest

“Hey, can I use this other room?” Ayla asked “I need to make some maintenance on this suit”

“Sure” I said

Ayla entered the room, then I decided to go downstairs, but then I remembered I left a book on my room, it was a book Twilight gave me when I met her, I think I didn’t mention it in here, thought it wasn’t important

I decided to go and get it, you know, for reading while I waited for them, but I forgot something, something important

When I opened the door, I saw something… great…

It was Ayla, she was naked, I couldn’t stop looking, she just took off her suit and she was completely naked

My eyes were locked on her, I never realized how sexy she really was, and I never really saw her naked, but her body was… great, beautiful, hot…

It was a good view… until she noticed I was looking at her

“NIGHT WOLF!” she screamed while she covered her private parts with her hands “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”

“I… Uh…” I mumbled, I didn’t know what to say

“GET OUT!” She yelled

She slapped me so hard she launched me and I crashed on the wall outside the room

“DON’T COME PEEK ON ME AGAIN!” Ayla said right before she slammed the door of the room

“Ugh… aahh… ouch…” I groaned “It… hurts…”

“Good.” She yelled from the room.

A couple of minutes later, I could finally move, I got downstairs and I sat on the table, my whole body hurt, but my right cheek was the one that hurt the most, I think I had the mark of Ayla’s hand there

After a while Ayla came down, she was wearing loose jeans and a short-sleeved blouse. I never noticed she was a pegasus, maybe I was thinking on other stuff when I saw her…

The moment she got downstairs, she sat in front of me, she looked at me and then she turned around, she was blushing

“Don’t ever talk about what happened back there.” she said, angrily “EVER!”

“Umm… ok…” I said, I was also blushing

“I mean it.” she said, firmly “If you ever tell anyone about this…”

Then she got close to me, and stared at me with menacing eyes

“I will make you suffer so much, you will wish to be dead.” she menaced me

“Ok…” I replied, scared

“Good.” she said

“I… should… go check on Fluttershy” I said

“Sure, go” Ayla replied “But remember, not, a, single, word.”

I nodded and I headed upstairs, I opened the door leading to Fluttershy’s room, she was there, but laying on the floor

“Fluttershy!” I said, worried

I rushed by her side and held her on my arms

“What happened?” I asked, nervous

“Night… Wolf…” she said, softly

That was the last thing she told me, after that, she blacked out, I lift her up and I rushed downstairs, Ayla noticed me and she also saw Fluttershy

“What happened?” she asked

“I don’t know” I replied, nervous “I found her on the floor, she is sweating and she has fever”

“We must get her to the hospital” Ayla said while she got up from the chair “Do you know where it is?”

“No” I replied “But Twilight must know, we must ask her”

We went outside and rushed to Sugar Cube Corner, Ayla went flying and I followed her on ground, carrying Fluttershy, she was beginning to feel cold

When we got to Sugar Cube Corner, we saw Rainbow Dash outside

“Rainbow Dash!” I yelled

Rainbow heard us and she turned around, when she saw Fluttershy, her smile faded, she rushed at us

“What happened!?” she asked

“I don’t know” I replied “We must get her to the hospital, but we don’t know where it is”

“Ok, follow me” Rainbow said, and she guided us to the hospital

After a minute, we got to the hospital, we rushed in and a nurse came to us, she asked us what had happened, and I replied the same thing I told to Rainbow, the nurse asked us to place Fluttershy on the bed so that they could stabilize her, so I placed her there, and they took her

Every second that passed felt like an eternity, I couldn’t stop moving, I was so nervous. After 3 hours, the Nurse, whose name I learned before ‘Nurse Redheart’, came back

“Hello” she said, kindly “You were with Fluttershy, right?”

“Yes” I affirmed “Is she alright?”

“Yes, she is stable” Nurse Redheart said “But she’s still unconscious”

“What is wrong with her?” Ayla asked

“I will be honest with you” Redheart said “We are not sure what happened, the only thing we know is that a strange substance was injected to her system”

“Injected?” I asked

“Yes, we found a puncture mark.” She affirmed “This substance had an effect on her body, it’s attacking her body, her defenses are trying to hold, but they won’t last long”

“Is there any cure?” Asked Rainbow

“We don’t know, we never saw a disease like this” The nurse said

“Maybe Twilight knows something?” I asked

“You’re right!” said Rainbow Dash “She must have something on her books”

“Let’s go then” said Ayla

We rushed to Twilight’s library, when we reached there, we saw Spike, he was entering the library

“Spike!” I yelled while I rushed to the main entrance

“Oh, hey guys.” said Spike “What’s up?”

“Is twilight home?” I asked “We have a problem”

“Um, yes, she is.” Spike nodded “What’s the problem?”

“Its Fluttershy.” I said “She is sick, but Nurse Redheart doesn’t know what happened with her, so we came to see if Twilight knew.”

He got surprised, he asked us to get inside, and we did. He called Twilight, and she came from upstairs

“What happened?” she asked “Is it true that Fluttershy is sick?”

“Yes.” said Ayla “And the doctors don’t know what is wrong with her.”

“Ok, maybe we can find something on these books.” Twilight said “help me search!”

We all nodded and we began looking for something that could be similar to what Fluttershy was suffering, but after an hour, we didn’t find anything

“I don’t understand.” said Twilight, confused “There should be something here.”

“But there isn’t” said Ayla “We searched on every book on the library!”

“Wait.” said Twilight “I know someone who may be able to help us.”

“Really?” I asked “Who?”

“Her name is Zecora.” Twilight said “She comes from a faraway land, and she knows a lot about diseases and ailments, she may know what is happening to Fluttershy.”

“Well, let’s go then!” I said

“Ok, Night Wolf and I will go get Zecora.” Twilight said “I need you three to go and check on Fluttershy, make sure she is alright”

“You got it!” Spike, Ayla and Rainbow Dash replied, almost like soldiers

They rushed back to the hospital, while we rushed to Zecora’s home, I just hoped that she would be able to help and that it wasn’t too late…

We entered the Everfree forest, Zecora was living there, in a hut

After a couple of minutes, we reached her hut, it looked like if it was African, but I was sure that Africa didn’t exist in this dimension

We entered the house and we saw this lady, she was placing some ingredients on a cauldron, she looked like if she was a witch, but that was only my opinion

“Zecora!” said Twilight “We need your help!”

“What is wrong? And who is this man who came along?” Zecora said, she rhymed, but I didn’t care, I had to help Fluttershy

“It’s Fluttershy!” Announced Twilight “She is sick, but the doctors don’t know what is wrong with her!”

Zecora’s expression changed from calmed to surprised

“I need to see her, before her problem gets bigger.” Said Zecora

We rushed back to the hospital, I was hoping it wasn’t too late

By the time we reached the hospital, it was getting late, we entered the hospital and we rushed to Fluttershy’s room

When we got there, she was unconscious, Rainbow Dash and Ayla were there, along Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. They were glad we came back

“Great, you finally came.” said Ayla “She’s still pretty bad.”

“Mm… leave the room, so I can see why she is in gloom.” Zecora said

We all got out of the room, Zecora checked on Fluttershy and after a couple of minutes, she exited the room

“And?” I asked “What is wrong with her?”

“She suffers from a very strange disease” Zecora explained “A disease that disappeared since a long time ago like a sneeze”

“Like Cutie Pox?” asked Twilight

“No.” Zecora said firmly “This is worse than the others you know.”

“And, what can we do.?” asked Rarity

“For this, there is a cure.” said Zecora “But the path is hard to endure.”

“What do you mean?” I asked

“The cure is divided in three, and they are spread inside the Everfree.” Zecora said

“Well, we’ve already entered the Everfree forest.” said Rainbow Dash “I’m sure it won’t be that hard.”

“Oh, it will be hard.” Zecora affirmed “This won’t be like walking through my front yard.”

“What do ya mean?” asked Applejack

“The zone where the pieces are, is as known by me as a star.” said Zecora

“So, you don’t know the place where the pieces of the cure are?” asked Twilight

“Exactly.” affirmed Zecora

“But you do know where they are, right?” asked Pinkie Pie

“Of course I do,” said Zecora “or at least I have a clue.”

“We should get going then!” said Rainbow Dash

“Wait.” I said “We can’t all go to the same place.”

“Then what should we do?” Asked Rainbow Dash, eager to get going

“We will split into teams of three.” I said “That way, we will get the materials faster.”

“Ok, we should make the teams.” said Twilight “But before we do anything, we must know where each one will go.”

“I will explain each place:” said Zecora “The first one, a very odd flower, is located on a zone where it is hard to fly, I would suggest non-flying persons like Applejack and Pinkie Pie.”

“The second one, the serpent tooth, is in a narrow path, where it is hard to pass, I would recommend a Pegasi and two Unicorns, since their magic will be needed to pass this wrath.”

“And last, but not least, the manticore eye, this path is a hard one, you will need to fly, but use magic as well, so maybe two Pegasi and an unicorn might get where the eye dwells.”

“Ok, thanks Zecora!” said Twilight “Now, I think I know how to do this: Night Wolf, Applejack and Pinkie Pie will go for the flower; Derpy, Vinyl and Rainbow Dash will go for the eye; and Ayla, Rarity, Spike and I will go for the serpent tooth.”

“Seems like a plan.” I said

So we all agreed on that plan and we decided to go and get the materials, before it was too late…
