The One

So, we were up against a large army of some sort of creatures in the unknown, without a map, in the ruins of what seemed to be an ancient civilization, now inhabited and taken over by some sort of large creature. That was nice. I looked around at everyone. Rainbow seemed pretty much normal. Twilight looked downcast. Rarity was looking for something, as it seemed. Derpy was napping. Fluttershy was... "Fluttershy, why are you crying?" I walked over. "Are you alright?"

She jumped up and hugged me tightly. "I was just so scared... I thought you were hurt... I was just so angry! It made me kill it... The anger. It made me scared of myself. I was so violent. I just..." She broke down into deeper sobs, and I hugged her back. "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'm here..." I said, trying to comfort her. Her being sad made me sad, her crying nearly killed me. Rarity was watching, but I didn't care. Fluttershy needed the hug. So did I. We were all down, in some way or another. Except Derpy. She was happily asleep. She looked kinda cute... Meh. It's not the time for cute. I looked at Fluttershy in the face. She was asleep.

I lied her down quietly, and pulled a small blanket out and put it over her. She looked calmer now... I lied down next to her. It was amazing... Today. The strength we pulled out, all the fighting, it was so fun... After that, I fell asleep.

"Diminien!" I yelled, and jumped up quickly, unsheathing the swords. I lunged forward at it, and stopped in my tracks. It was Rainbow Dash. "Oops... Sorry Rainbow..." I put the swords away. She was looking really shocked. "My dreams were... really bad, last night. I guess I'm just really jumpy this morning. I'm sorry..." I looked down at where Fluttershy is... Or should be. "Hey, has anyone seen Fluttershy around here? She isn't in bed." I said, making sure everyone heard me. "I didn't see her." "Nor me." "This is troubling..." Everyone said no. "I'm going to look for her. Too dangerous to be by herself." With that, I didn't give time for someone to complain. I walked out of our safe little room and went to searching.

"Applejack, what are you doing here? Weren't you with the others?" I asked. Honestly, she hadn't seen us literally two rooms away? It was shockingly enough not surprising. "I'm sorry sugarcube, but I didn't know exactly where ya were... Mind pointin' me in the right direction?" I started to turn around to show her where, when I saw it: A giant hulking beast, about 11 feet tall, with solid black eyes, in a human figure once again, only... Odd. It had giant claws on it's hands. It was a brownish yellow figure, with the same liquid running through it as was through the Delsaber. It held one up hand up, and I jumped. "Applejack, watch out!" I jumped onto her, knocking her out of the way, as the arm fired at us. It quickly vanished and reappeared on the monster.

"Applejack." "Yeah?" "Run!"
