Eternals

"Wha... What are you doing here Jeffy?" Fluttershy asked him, her teal eyes widening.

Jeffy held onto Meowth, realizing his weak state. Touching his hand to his charm, Jeffy transferred enough energy into the Pokémon to keep him awake and going. But there was something... off about him. He seemed dazed and his eyes lacked of bright color. His charm had a tint of grey and was fading fast.

"I was able to get with the help of Twilight and-" Jeffy began to explain but was cut off when Discord interrupted.

"Hold on, hold on. Let me get this straight. Twilight Sparkle, the pony who nearly tried to kill me to 'protect' Fluttershy helped you get here? And why are any of us here in the first place?" It was clear he was confused but also angry. He liked Twilight a little bit but her most recent act just killed any trust for her.

Fluttershy simply floated back to the ground and worriedly placed her hoof on her chin. "If she were to teleport you here... and we were teleported by something else... Oh my" she whispered.

"Twilight teleported me here because Amber sensed a disturbance in Equestria. She sensed that your Princesses Celestia and Luna know of... Well Discord being an 'evil organization's' leader and others were bad aura. They want to get rid of anyone with bad aura and... 'rescue' the good ones"

Discord immeditally became offended. "Now listen here. You know that I have no Immortal blood in me anymore. I used to be the Immortal leader. Not any more! That stupid idiot Giovanni is now in charge. You should know this" He said angrily towards his son.

But Jeffy didn't see him like this, never have, never will. "Look, I never said that I thought that. I said your stupid little Princesses did and that they were the ones who teleported the three of you here" he said though he didn't loosen his grip on Meowth.

Fluttershy had hovered over to Discord's side and gently touched her hoof to his shoulder to calm him. "S-Sorry. But bad aura? Don't me, you and Meowth have it?" he said calmly, having recovered by his outburst.

"Fluttashy... ta" the panting, weak tone of Meowth sounded as he forced himself out of Jeffy's grip and leaned into the tree stump next to him.

The three immediately became surprised. It appeared he had been awake the whole time and was listening the entire time.

"M-Me?" Fluttershy asked, shock upon her face. She had bad aura?

Meowth nodded simply. "Y-Yes... I can see it. Very few of us have purely good aura. I t'ink dat Yin is someone wid purely good aura but she will change" he sighed softly. "We all do" he added, almost in defeat.

Fluttershy was still confused about her bad aura until it struck her mind. "O-Oh! The Rainbow Factory. T-That m-must be why"

"Hmmm. It appears none of us Eternals or Immortals will ever be purely good. Fluttershy is associated with the Rainbow Factory and takes pride in it. I, myself, took over Equestria a few time and am the master of chaos and I was once the leader of the Immortals. Jeffy here is also with the RF and is a serial kil-" Discord monologued until Jeffy interrupted.

"No, I was a serial killer. I can control now. The last time I even felt that feeling was back when I killed Hougen which was back in August of 2013, mortal time" the Fourtellta defended.

"Fine, Jeffy was a serial killer" the spirit of chaos corrected with a roll of his mitch-matched eyes. "And then little Meowth here is also in the RF but is also in Roketto-dan and also is with this whole Team Force Update, Silent Hill... He has a fetish with blood and-"

"We get it! I'm in... a lot of fucked up t'in's but ya know what? I like havin' bad aura so just fuck off" Meowth growled at Discord, releasing a claw slowly so no blood was released.

"Fine. Fine. Just calm done okay?" Hesitant, Meowth retracted the claw.

This was when Meowth felt something stir inside him, and a short growl escaped his throat. A wild look fled into his eyes as he wrapped one paw around his charm in an attempt to control himself. His claw was released a little and shook immensely until his vision became black and he lost consciousness. Surprisingly, it was Discord who teleported fast enough to catch Meowth and hovered back to a sit and pull the Pokémon onto his lap. Fluttershy worriedly flew over and touched Meowth's charm. He was getting weaker and was losing control. But why? Jeffy had already transferred his energy to him.

It didn't occur to Fluttershy but it clicked almost immediately in Jeffy's mind. He had seen this all too much. "Fluttershy. Discord. Did he have any... blood while you were in the Mortal world?" he asked hesitantly, half hoping it wasn't true.

Fluttershy tilted her head slightly, lost in thought before answering slowly, "If I recall correctly... Um, no. He hasn't. Right Discord?" Glancing towards her lover.

Discord gently held onto Meowth and simply nodded at her question. Then the three stopped, realization creeping into their minds.

"Oh no..." Fluttershy's inaudible whisper was all that was heard as silence took over the air around them.

Jeffy wasted no time. Quickly he pulled his long, dried blood covered knife out from behind him, almost out of nowhere. This caught Discord's attention but now wasn't the time for that. Carefully, he stared at it for a few moments before shaking his head and giving the knife to Fluttershy. The pegasus  gripped it hard and stared long into Jeffy's black eyes until a small squeak of alarm escaped her throat.

"Oh no... No, no, no. I-I can't do it. The animals in this area... We're in Ponyville. The animals here know me. I can't kill them. But... I also cannot let Meowth die or worse..." A small tune rang in her head at that moment as Fluttershy struggled with her own emotions. If anything she would go after a lonesome looking animal, mainly a bunny. It would be quick. But how to be quick.

Jeffy could tell what she was thinking and he comfortably said, "The head. Aim directly at the head. One good swipe should kill it immediately and not make too much of a mess. Trust me, I would know" He said the last line with a slight shake, remembering the old days.

A small smile on her face, Fluttershy gripped the knife in her hoof before gently wrapping her hooves around Jeffy, offering him a hug before she flapped her wings and silently flew off.

Watching her go, Jeffy gently sat himself on the stump and looked over to Meowth, his black eyes worried.

"Look, I know this is serious and everything but.. But how did you pull that knife, or whatever out of nowhere? Well, only I can do that" Discord asked, still keeping his hold on the Pokémon.

"Magic" Jeffy simply responded. It wasn't the answer Discord wanted but for the time being he just remained silent.

Oh dear. She had lured a pretty lonely looking white bunny away into a quiet spot in the Everfree behind some bushes. It stared up with curious and trusting eyes but she knew what had to be done. She didn't want to but she knew she had to, for Meowth. But something clicked in her mind, almost like an urge, one that she should see as being a monster. But she did this kind of thing everyday and so far, she hadn't done it. The Rainbow Factory and the Immortal Device. She knew the tune and slowly, it rang in her head. Without warning, Fluttershy grabbed the knife and flung it into the bunny's head, just like Jeffy said. Strangely, as the blood splattered onto her hooves, she felt content, as if she had been fighting an invisible force.

And she was. But she had gotten over it. It was dead but it died quickly and it must have been lonely, it would not be too missed. She hoped. Sighing softly, she placed the bloody knife into a safe spot in her mane before gripping the bunny's body in her mouth and trotting away, prepared to save her friend, save someone she saw as a brother, as a son.

It was like she had expected. Meowth had acted like a feral wild animal when he had consumed the bunny, ripping it apart and draining it's blood and them consuming parts of it. It was survival after all. Despite her softness, she felt nothing but relief in the situation as Meowth immeditally became stronger and more open with them. But the four of them knew it wasn't over.

It was but Jeffy's careful guidance that Discord, Fluttershy, and Meowth began to slip through the shadows, going towards Fluttershy's cottage to jump through the portal back home. Home was what they really needed now and they needed to escape the Princesses, at least for a small while, they needed to escape.

Home. They would be safe in the Eternal world.
