Justice League of Equestria: Gods and Monsters

She stared at her old body as it floated lifelessly in a tube, it had been an 3 months since she had escaped the nightmare that was her prison, 3 months since she nearly destroyed the city along with herself...

3 months since Twilight rescued her and gave her the name: Rainbow Dash

She turned away from the tube and inspected her new body inside a stasis capsule, this one was a lot taller, to the point where she was almost as tall as Twilight. She wore a dark purple and black bodysuit, and like her old body she had three dots on her head in a triangular pattern.

"Alright... let's test this baby out." Rainbow said as she felt her three nodes connect with a terminal with three dots on it as well. She then transferred her whole mind over to the whole body.

[Upload complete.]

She slowly opened her eyes and looked around as the nodes disconnected, trying to get her bearings. As she stepped out of the capsule she stretched her legs and began to walk towards the monitor, not used to her new longer legs she quickly tripped and fell… only to find herself suspended in the air as two large wings deployed from her back

"OH HELL YEAH! BUILT IN WINGS FREAKING WORK! I TOLD YOU GUYS!" Rainbow shouted as she flew around a bit. "Oh this is so cool!"

“Enjoying yourself?” Twilight smirked as she entered the room. “I must say I'm quite surprised you're able to adapt to a new body so quickly.”

"Oh the wings are no problem." Rainbow said as she did some loops. "I think they gave me some pegasus DNA in my body as well. It helps me adapt to any condition." She said with a big smile. "Maybe I have some unicorn DNA in me too...."

"Possibly, the power surge you had a month ago was not unlike the magic burst a unicorn would go through..." She said as she approached the main computer immediately typed in a few commands. "Though probably not much considering your old body seemed to have been created from a natural Pegasus, that being said, we still need to test your combat skills..."

"Uh.... Twi you..... you know how I feel about that right?" Rainbow asked her. "I mean.... I think I might be good but..... I don't want to lose control."

"Relax..." She said in a comforting tone as she placed a hand on her shoulder. "That's why we installed the power limiters, I know you're nervous but if we don't study the extent of your abilities we run the risk of you being unprepared should you find yourself in an actual battle." She explained.

"....okay." Rainbow said as she took a deep breath and exhaled. "When do we start testing then? I need time to set up the course and all."

“Well I was thinking we could start after–” Before she could continue there was a small beeping sound. She turned to the screen and pressed a button, opening the doors and revealing Fluttershy walking in wearing a black bodysuit with a white bat symbol over her breasts, a mask with long blood-red eyeholes and long pointy ears that covered all but her mouth, and special Wingblades that were black on the outside and white on the inside.

Twilight smiled as she noticed an unconscious pink pony slung over her back. "So you managed to capture her... good work."

"Sure. Whatever." Fluttershy said as she dropped the mare in a special cell and activated it causing a force field to appear. "Still don't see why you wanted this one."

"Uh....Shy, who's the mare?" Rainbow asked nervously. "Are you bringing corpses into the Watchtower now?"

"Relax. She's still alive." Fluttershy said, giving her a fanged smile which caused Rainbow to shiver.

"Yeah but who IS she?" Rainbow asked. "Sorry but I've been in here the past few days working on my new body, which you're totally ignoring by the way, so I'm a bit locked out of the loop.”

Twilight turned back to the computer and started cataloging. "Subject is Pinkamena Diane Pie, AKA Pinkie or Harley Pie. Mentally insane, she's been hunting down and kidnapping civilians in an attempt to create a “family” since her own vanished." She said as carefully checked the cell energy.

"What happens when a family doesn't meet her standards?" Rainbow asked Twilight.

The alicorn typed in a few commands and brought up several pictures of her previous victims. The cyborg mare stared at the pictures for a few moments. "I can't physically throw up in my mouth but the feeling is there."

“Oh spare me the drama.” Fluttershy scoffed as she approached the computer. "You weren't even there when the bodies were still fresh, the smell alone was nauseating…”

Twilight simply rolled her eyes while Rainbow eyed the mare cautiously. "You sure she's not dead? I mean she looks like you drained her to the last drop."

"I made sure. I'm a doctor remember… plus I already had a blood packet and didn't see the need to kill her... came pretty damn close though." Fluttershy said as she pulled out a blood packet and began to snack on it.

"Mind telling me how you tracked her down?" Twilight asked as she continued to type.

Fluttershy smiled as she sat down. "Oh now THAT was the fun part..."

Fluttershy sighed as she made her way through Balkham Asylum, it seemed like every time she came here it was getting easier to break out of…

...it didn't help that the most recent prisoner to escape had absolutely NO POWERS.

She then found the cell and the guards near it. She hissed once and they turned to her with a small scream. "O-oh.... it's just you Batmare." One of the guards said.

"Yeah I know. You weren't scared by me or anything, right?" She asked sarcastically.

"Now, now, Batmare." A new voice called out. "My guards have enough to deal with without you scaring the daylights out of them..."

The Batpony turned to the source of the voice as well as the least favorite pony in the world.

"Harshwinny." She growled.

"Mhm.... the prisoner who escaped here is a dangerous individual. Possibly one of the most dangerous in this city." Harshwinny said in a stotic tone. "You will have access to her files but please... do try your best to restrain yourself. The criminals here are trying to fix themselves. She is no different."

"No promises…" She retorted. Something felt off about this… Harshwinny barely showed interest in a prisoner to the extent of coming here in person... why was this particular one so important to her...?

As she walked through the halls of the Asylum she passed a few of the cells, some of which contained prisoners she recognized…

"Riddle me.... no no that was.... that was stupid." A stallion's voice said as she passed by a cell that was covered in green paint and question marks.

The next cell was just.... a freezer. She frowned at this cell as it contained an old friend of hers.... one she promised she'd help get better.... she's come close a few times but they always end the same way.... Freeze will always die if exposed to the elements.

The next cell contained a rather.... irritating sound. A coin just... flipping up and down. She hated that one in particular.

Two cells down she encountered... his cell. Or rather an elevator down to his cell. The prisoner down there had came the closest to killing her out of every single thug, and ill pony, and she still feared him at night.... sometimes she'd sleep at night and.... hear his voice. "TICK. TOCK. FEED THE CROC."

She shuddered as she made her way to the control room. “Stay focused, remember why you were called here…” She mumbled to herself as she found the files already displayed onscreen, wasting no time she looked through them before heading towards the medical wing.

Once there she started searching through several of the vials containing blood samples from the prisoners, after a few minutes of searching (and repressing the urge to drink every last vile) she found the one she was looking for and opened it to take a sip.

“Hmm… sweet…” She smiled before taking a whiff… now she had her scent...the trick now was to hunt it down. A sweet scent it might be but in her city it was going to be difficult. It's pollution and horrid sewer smell made things like sweet smells hard to track down.

“Took me six days to finally pinpoint her location.” Fluttershy continued as she stretched her wings. “Gothamville was made up of three separate islands, so it wasn't exactly easy…”

"Who named Gothamville? REALLY? I'm sorry but who names these places?" Rainbow asked Fluttershy. "Seriously it just feels like that name was half-assed."

"We live in a city called MARE-tropolis, I seriously don't think we're ones to judge..." Twilight mumbled.

"... fair enough." Rainbow said. "Sorry Flutters.... I am kinda curious. You went into a little detail with most of those guys but.... you skimmed over one of them PRETTY quick.... the elevator-"

"We do NOT talk about him!" Fluttershy snapped at Rainbow, glaring at her as her wing wrapped around her body protectively. "EVER!!"

For the first time since she'd met her, Rainbow saw fear and Fluttershy's eyes.

"Flutters calm down, she doesn't know." Twilight interjected, placing her hand on her shoulder and calming her down.

"S-sorry.... I-I didn't..... I mean I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories." Rainbow said carefully. Whoever it was in that cell... she could already tell that they did something horrible to Fluttershy. "So uh...... l-let's talk about something that's.... not as traumatic."

“R-right…” Fluttershy stuttered before regaining her composure. “S-so after six days of searching, I had finally tracked her down to a warehouse in the Port Adams district on Founders' Island…”

Fluttershy was lurking outside the roof of the abandoned warehouse. According to her reports, somepony had been spotted dragging large bodybags into the warehouse for unknown reasons.

She quietly opened a window and snuck in. She looked around and saw some.... rather strange sights. At a few points she saw some jack in the boxes. Nothing to weird... but then she approached one and out popped out half a pony with the bottom part being... a spring.

"...that's just sick..." She mumbled as she continued through the warehouse. As she continued she came across another body, this one on a stand and dressed up as a toy soldier... with his mouth stapled into a smile...

".... this girl is desperate." She said quietly to herself as she marched onward. She then entered a strange room.... a hall of mirrors so to speak. "This girl has some circus fascination. I can see that much."

Suddenly she heard singing up ahead, she quickly made her way towards the room, looking in through the small window on the door she saw the pink mare she was looking for, she wore a black and red corset, blood red hotpants, and had her poofy mane tied up into pigtails.

Inside the room, Pinkie "Harley" Pie happily sang as she put the finishing touches on her newest "family".

"Now Mr. Pie goes here..." She chuckled as she strapped the man into the chair, despite his protests... or at least the ones that she could make out due to the ballgag he'd been forced to wear.

"...and now for little Pie!" She smiled as she turned her attention to the shivering fosl in the corner.

Fluttershy quietly growled as she silently slipped in and out of the shadows. She needed to get close without raising suspicion. A family's life was at stake here.

"Please! Don't hurt me!!" The young filly screamed as she tried to back away.

"Oh don't be silly! Big sis Pinkie doesn't hurt her family..." She said with a giggle… only for The pupils of her eyes to shrink as she gave her an unnaturally wide smile. "...unless they make Pinkie unhappy! You're not going to make Pinkie unhappy are you?!" She asked in a more demented tone as she slowly approached her… only to stop when she noticed her... "other half" sitting next to her target... she was practically her mirror image… save for the darker-toned straight mane.

"You have an unwelcome guest..." She giggled maliciously.

Pinkie then turned towards Fluttershy and smiled that impossibly wide smile once more as she looked at her uninvited guest. "Hiya! I'm Pinkie! AND YOU'RE AN UNINVITED GUEST YOU NAUGHTY PONY!" She shouted at Fluttershy before pulling out a sledgehammer and running towards Fluttershy. “IT’S HAMMER TIME!!!”

‘What the-?! How did she find me?!’ Fluttershy thought as she darted out of the shadows just as she brought the hammer down, leaving a massive dent in the floor.

Pinkie scowled as she quickly ran after her, her “other half” watching from behind the chair next to the bound Stallion. “Now this is entertainment!” She cackled as she munched on some popcorn.

“HOLD STILL AND LET ME PUMMEL YOU!!” Pinkie screamed as Fluttershy backflipped away to avoid the her as continued to swing her hammer, leaving dents in the floor and holes in the walls.

"Yes because I want to die today." Fluttershy quipped as she darted away from another hammer swing. She then flared her wings and flew at Pinkie and decked her with a fist to the face and sent her flying a short distance away. On most enemies that would have knocked them out... yet Pinkie got back up with a demented look on her face.

"Oh that tickled! Can we try again!?" Pinkie giggled as she came running at her again with her giant hammer.

Fluttershy arched a brow under her red-tinted goggles. “OK, you’ve clearly lost it!” She said as she dodged another strike from her hammer.

“Said the mare dressed as a bat.” Her "other half" smirked as she casually walked between them and turned to Pinkie. “You'd better hurry up and kill her, otherwise she'll take your new family away…”

"No! You can't take them!!" She screamed as she pulled out another several throwing knives. "This is my family! MINE!" She shouted before throwing all of them at once before charging at her with her hammer raised. "They'll stay with me forever and ever and EVER!"

"Sure they will." Fluttershy said coldly as she dodged the knives and grabbed the hammer as it was only an inch or two away from her head. "Right after you go back to the Asylum."

“Oh, that's not good…” Her “other half” mused, sitting atop the hammer. “You remember what happened the last time we ended up there, right? The shocks, the serums… that little chip Ms. Harshwhinny put in the back of your neck...and now she wants you to go back…”

“NO! I‘M NEVER GOING BACK THERE, HARSHWINNY WON’T TAKE ME AGAIN!!” She screamed as she dropped her hammer and backed away… before grinning like a mad mare as she pulled out a chainsaw. "I JUST WANT A FAMILY, IS THAT SO WRONG?!"

“Yeah about that, when you stuff them and make them scared half to death? Yes. Yes it is. Plus I don’t think you could really say they enjoy being your family.” Fluttershy said coldly as Pinkie revved her chainsaw to life. "Really? That is VERY impractical."

“She's dissing Mr. Slicer…” Her “other half” said, which infuriated Pinkie to the point she was nothing more than a angry and royally pissed off mad mare with a chainsaw.

“I’M GONNA CARVE YOU A SMILE SO WIDE YOUR FACE’LL FALL OFF!!” She shouted before lunging at her, ready to slice her to bits.

Fluttershy drew her wings and flew upwards to avoid the chainsaw. "This is just sad." She said as she flew back down and drop kicked the insane mare in the face, sending her flying into a wall.

Pinkie groaned as she picked herself up and wiped the blood off her nose before giving her a deranged smile. "Thank you ma'am, may I have another?"

Fluttershy then zoomed right up to her and grabbed her...before sensing a heartbeat from her. Her mouth started watering as her fangs became exposed.

“Ooo, nice fangs!” Pinkie smirked before head-butting her in the face before pulling out another throwing knife. "Let me show you mine!” She shouted before throwing the knife at her shoulder and leaping towards her dropped hammer.

Fluttershy felt the knife pierce her shoulder but she didn't care. All that mattered was that she satisfied her hunger. It had to be Pinkie otherwise she might turn to that..... plump.... juicy.... delicious looking family she had tied to the table.

Pinkie noticed that the Batpony had turned her attention to her new family...and fear immediately gripped at her heart.

“She wants them to herself…” Her “other self” said as she sat beside the bound mother, casually drinking some tea. “The moment she sends you back she’ll take them as her own family… and you'll be all alone again…”

At that moment, something within Pinkie snapped.

“I WON’T LET YOU TAKE THEM! I WON’T BE ALONE!!” She screamed before lunging at her for a third time. "NO! NOT ALONE! NEVER ALONE!!" She shouted as tears began to erupt from her eyes, painful memories resurfacing as she continued to swing, her mind having snapped completely. "NEVER ALONE! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER!!"

Fluttershy dodged the swings but saw the damaged and scared look in her eyes. This wasn't a deranged psychotic pony.... okay yes but she clearly had some issues that extended far beyond just a mere 'kill and replace family who didn't live up to her standards' type deal.... she could relate to that. She almost felt bad for the psychopath… but there would be time for that later.

“I WON’T LOSE THEM AGAIN!” She screamed as she continued to swing at her, growing more and more frustrated as she missed. "My old family never wanted me, so I'll just MAKE MY OWN FAMILY! AND IF THEY WON'T BE THE FAMILY I WANT THEN THEY SHOULDN'T LIVE!!"

Fluttershy dodged the swings and then took a quick shot that hit Pinkie square in the nose and yanked the sledgehammer away from her. She then put her in a sleeper hold and saw her exposed.... pulsating.... neck.

Pinkie groaned as she struggled to free herself… and then felt a severe pain in her neck, she managed to catch a glimpse of herself in one of the broken mirrors and saw that the Batpony had sunk her fangs into her neck. "N-never alone... n-n-never... n-never..." She stuttered as she struggled to stay conscious… only to pass out completely...

Fluttershy wanted to keep draining. It had been too long since she had a meal this good but.... she controlled her urges and pulled back. She saw the family and went over and untied them. "Go. Run now." She told them coldly. When they didn't run she bared her teeth and hissed.

The mother and father quickly grabbed their daughter and ran like Cerberus was after them, however as the ran the daughter looked back at her and mouthed the words "Thank you Batmare”.

Fluttershy smiled at this before turning her attention back to unconscious psychopath. “Now, to get you back to the Asylum…” She said as she picked her up, however upon seeing the back of her neck she froze.

One the back of Pinkie’s neck was none other than a small "X" mark engraved in her skin.

“Harshwhinny…” Fluttershy growled in rage

"Wait.... she was a Suicide Squad survivor?" Rainbow asked her. Twilight and Fluttershy stared at her with shock.

"Um.... Rainbow how do you-"

"Hey I had time to read the internet AND hack into her private files. I know about these guys.... weird though she always noted Pinkie really enjoyed the missions.... until.... oh duh. Someone close to her died during her last mission."

“So her family vanished, she got forced into the Suicide Squad AND her friend died on a mission? Yikes... no wonder that girl’s messed up in the head..." Fluttershy stated as she turned her attention back to their prisoner, who was slowly waking up… “So what exactly are we going to do with her?”

“The X on the back of her neck signifies where the chip was implanted.” Twilight explained. “It may have some info that'll prove useful to us…”

“...and make for good blackmail material against Harshwhinny…” Fluttershy added with a fanged grin.

"What made you hate Harshwhinny Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked her. "I mean JEEZ."

“She's affiliated with Cadmus, the very same organization responsible for...that.” She explained, gesturing to the tube that held Rainbow’s former body. “Your life is just one of many that they've ruined.”

".... I don't like her now." Rainbow said as she glared at her old body. "I want to...... I have too......" Her eyes and the three dots started glowing red. "Bucking bitch..... coward..... hides behind children."

"Ugh… what in the name of pink hit me...?" Pinkie moaned before looking around. On the other side of the glass her “other half” smirked at her. “Well you got beat up by Sparkles over there, and then she gave you the world's most painful hickey.”

The moment Pinkie laid her eyes on Fluttershy she froze. "You...bit...me..."

Fluttershy's ear flicked a bit and she turned to Pinkie. "Come again?"

"You..... bit..... me..... that.... THAT MEANS YOU NEEDED ME!" She said with an excited look in her eyes. "OH YES YES YES! YOU NEEDED ME!" She exclaimed as she tried to force her way out of her cell.

“This mare has some serious abandonment issues…” Rainbow said as Fluttershy backed away, thoroughly creeped out by the pink mare who was just hours ago eager to rip her head apart. "She is one sick puppy."

"YOU WANTED ME! NOBODY EVER WANTED ME! BUT YOU DID!!" Pinkie shouted, pressing her entire body against the glass with a gleeful smile on her face.

"Sure.... we'll go with that." Fluttershy said as she started to pull down her mask... that proved to be a slight mistake.

"GAH! PUT IT BACK ON! PUT IT BACK ON NOW! I CAN'T SEE YOU! LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA!" Pinkie kept saying as she covered her ears and looked to the sky.

"Alright fine, jeez!" Fluttershy said as she pulled it over her head again. Almost instantly Pinkie stopped singing and went back to gushing over the Batpony. “What's your problem with what I look like anyway?” Fluttershy asked in irritation.

"Oh that's easy! You're you! You're Batmare!" Pinkie said as though it was obvious. "But if you take that mask off.... well then.... i-it takes away the mystery...... like green bean over there and miss wingboner."

“The fuck did she just call me?!” Rainbow snapped while Twilight blushed immediately tucked in her wings, glaring at their prisoner. Fluttershy however, couldn't help but chuckle a little.

“Alright then, listen up Pinkie.” She began with a serious tone. “You happen to have some information that may prove useful to us, so here's the deal: you work for us, and you get to live here, instead of the Asylum. Deal?”

"No Asylum? Promise?" Pinkie asked her with watery eyes. Fluttershy rolled her eyes and smiled.

"I promise."

"But do you PINKIE promise?"

Fluttershy glanced back at her allies who simply shrugged. “...fine, I pinkie promise.”

“If she lies you die…” Her “other half” whispered.

"Wait! You have to do the motions!" Pinkie said with a scared look on her face.

Fluttershy groaned."What the.... nobody does motions for a simple pinkie promise-"

"DO IT OR I WILL SLIT MY OWN THROAT! WITH A BROKEN TOOTH!" She screamed.

“Go on, do the motions!" Rainbow teased while Twilight snickered.

“Ugh, fine! What do I do?” The Batpony groaned. ‘This is ridiculous…’

"Cross my heart..." Pinkie made an x with her hand over her heart."

"....cross my heart." Fluttershy did the same thing.

“Hope to fly…” She continued, making flying motions with her hands.

“...hope to fly…” Fluttershy continued with a sigh.

“Stick a cupcake in my eye!” Pinkie finished before pulling out a cupcake from…somewhere, and slammed it into her face

“...stick a cupcake in my-wait, what?” The Batpony blinked when she noticed she was now holding a cupcake. “Where’d this come from?!”

"STICK IT IN YOUR DAMN EYE!" Pinkie yelled at Fluttershy with a look of utter insanity.

With a small *splat* Fluttershy slammed the cupcake into her face, doing her best to ignore her comrades chuckling behind her. "There, happy now?"

"You didn't mean it..... you didn't mean it at all!" Pinkie yelled. She then did something that to Rainbow's last cell of power she swore she'd never forget. She opened her mouth and the crazy mare started BANGING HER HEAD AGAINST THE GLASS! Once a tooth popped out she then placed it near her throat. "DO IT RIGHT! DO IT RIGHT NOW!"

"Ok fine!" Fluttershy shouted before repeating the motions as enthusiastically as possible. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" She chanted, sticking said cupcake into her face once more.

"Wait, where did she get another one?" Rainbow asked, Twilight simply shrugged, still shocked that the mare was willing to go this far for a simple promise.

Pinkie then smiled and dropped the tooth. "There we go! See that wasn't so bad was it?" Pinkie asked with the same enthusiasm one would expect from a counselor talking to a recovering drug addict.

Fluttershy sighed as she wiped the remains of the cupcake off her face. “I need a fucking drink…”

"EEEEE! DRINK ME! DRINK ME!!" Pinkie suddenly squeed as she quickly pressed her body against the glass again, happily showing off her neck, which still had bite marks on it. "You can have as much as you want!!"

"Um....... it was just a figure of speech." Fluttershy said looking at the crazy mare questioningly. "I don't really need to drink right now... but I'll let you know when I'd need you."

"...o-oh." Pinkie slumped a little. She appeared to be hurt by the comment, completely oblivious to the looks the other two were giving her. "It's okay....you can always take a drink from me!”

"So... we're seriously keeping this psycho?" Rainbow whispered.

"We kept you." Twilight replied with a smirk.

Before she could retort, the screen started flashing is it shifted to a map of Equestria, it then zoomed in on a particular area:

The Badlands

Rainbow stared at the screen in confusion. "What-"

"It's a distress signal..." Fluttershy interrupted as she approached the screen.

"Well, it looks like Applejack finally found those basterds..." Twilight chuckled...
