After Flutterbat is successfully defeated, her friends go home to get a good nights rest. But Fluttershy, alone in her cottage, can't seem to fall asleep. As she tosses and turns in her bed, an alluring smell hits her nose. It's sweet, succulent, and is coming from her bunny Angel.

An instinct is rising within her. An instinct that will drive Equestria into war. Battles will be fought, lives will be lost, and leaders will fall. Will the power of friendship prevail? Or will it become forever lost in pony legend?

This is the Rise of the Batponies.
