Tomorrow is Another Day...

Under the dim moonlit sky, a single Red Pegasus draped in bright golden armor was standing over the body of a mutilated creature, looking like it could be a child, at the edge of the forest, her long pink hair flowing down past her shoulders, soft like silk. Her gaze was intently focused on the poor soul who had met their end, Her eyes sparkling a light shade of cyan. Her hooves were split in the front, and lightly chipped, a light gloss still on them as she knelt down to examine the body. Her legs were surprisingly thick and muscular for a pegasus, leading all the way up to her wide hips and along the rest of her voluptuous body.

The dead creature's face reflected in the shimmering golden breastplates on her armor, shivering a bit as the metal was cold against her fluffy and ample bosoms, before returning her attention to the poor creature. "Hmm...this couldn't be a timberwolf...something isn't right here.." She said, her cyan blue eyes quickly darting from tree to tree, looking for any possible traces of the attacker.

Even as Fluttering Knives eyes scanned the land, she could not find anything that could have caused this. The strange creature looked like it was just dropped here from another world, after being brutally murdered. Knives gave a sigh and reached into a satchel on her hip, grabbing a gem in the shape of a rainbow cloud, gripping it tightly which caused it to flash colors.

"This is Captain Fluttering Knives, I have an unidentifiable creature in my vicinity, the creature has gashes in its back, legs, chest cavity, is missing one eye, and one of its hands seem to have been torn off, requesting a..."

She was cut off by the sight of something appearing near the creature's body, the moment she had blinked, a small toy had appeared, red fur with one tooth hanging out of its mouth, a hook on one of its paws and a eyepatch. Knives looked at the toy with a confused look and was about to tell her comrades when it...shook.

Then something she did not expect happened, the small hook on its arm slowly grew, sharpening and turning more crooked. The other hand started to tear until a metal, clawed hand with what looked like small discs on the fingers burst from it. Then the legs shot the creature up, much higher than Knives.The chest then burst open, showing a mangled chest with metal parts inside. Finally the cute fox head ripped apart, showing a mangled muzzled head with jagged teeth and a long, metal tongue. But the worst part was when it opened its eyes, eyes that looked like Discord himself had forged them with his own, fiery madness.

It then opened its maw, the hinges screeching as they did, and let out a blood chilling scream. Knives felt her ears slam down onto her skull, cringing as she heard what could only be described as a child in pain. It then rushed at her, faster than was expected from something made from so much metal. It raised the crooked hook, slashing at her, but she was not the captain of the Cloudsdale flying brigade for nothing, strifing to the left and sliding to the ground, her hoof swiping at the mechanical creatures leg.

As soon as her hoof made connection with the creature leg, it let out another one of its screams, falling to the ground and causing the very ground to shake. Knives was quick to rush to the fallen monster, her wings spring open as she grabbed a large machete, growling as she brung the blade down on the creatures back. As soon as the blade made contact, black sparks came off of it and the monster let out a scream, its tongue slithering out and wiping at her own leg, slicing through her flesh like a hot knife through butter.

She let out a gasp of shock, the pain soon slamming into her brain. She could feel blood gushing from her leg and hissed in pain. The monster suddenly lunged at her, slamming into her barrel with the power of a train. All the breath was knocked from her lungs as she was crushed under the monster's weight. She slowly opened her eyes and they instantly snapped open as she was looking into the maddening eyes of the monster. It suddenly screamed, showing its mangled teeth and the smaller set of teeth inside it.

Her hand searched the area around her, soon feeling her hand brush against her machete blade. Quickly grabbing it she pulled it in front of her, the creature's teeth biting into the handle. As soon as the threat of its teeth were out of the way, she placed her hooves onto its chest and launched it into the air, the machete flying from its mouth as it screamed. Knives was quick to her hooves, grabbing her machete and calculating where the monster would land. As soon as she knew she rushed to the spot, shoving the handle of the machete into the ground.

Soon the monster started to fall, slamming into the ground and the machete blade, the stainless steel cutting into its chest and out the other side. The creature let out a scream louder then all of its others. Knives was about to go snap it's neck when, in one blink, it was gone. She was instantly on guard, her eyes scanning the field. No matter where her eyes scanned, she could not find the monster.

She suddenly heard the distant flapping of wings and clinking armour. As soon as she knew it was her comrades, the pain in her leg suddenly lashed at her, causing her to crumple to the ground, right next to the mutilated creature. The last thing she saw before passing out from the pain in her leg and the blood pooling from it was the creatures eyelid give a very small twitch.

Then she saw nothing.

Knives gasped as her eyes snapped open, her chest heaving as she found it hard to breath. She then felt a hand touch her cheek and flinched, only relaxing when she felt it was not metal, but fur. She closed her eyes as her bedside lamp clicked on. Laying in the cloud bed next to her was a very skinny and very weak looking stallion. He had mitch matched eyes, one green and one brown. His mane was a short, light white with a small horn poking out from it, and his actual fur was a light pink. Many would call him a filly but Knives called him what he truly was.

Her love.

"W-What's wrong F-F-Flutters?" He asked, his voice high pitched and stuttering. She felt his hand slowly comb through her long mane, sighing as she felt his comforting touch. Soon he wrapped his skinny arms around her much thicker, much muscular body and pulling her body into a hug. While she was the stronger of the two, the nightmare had drained all of her energy, making her weak so he was able to move her easily.

"J...Just a nightmare love..." She whispered, her voice shaking a bit as she nuzzled into the crook of his neck. He started to let out a small, melodic hum, rocking back in forth with her in his grasp. She closed her eyes, a small tear making its way out of her eye. "L...Love...can you check on Loka....please?" She whimpered, her mental state in a very fragile state.

"Of c-course Flutters." He cooed, slowly slipping out of bed. Without the blanket Knives was able to see his figure, which looked like he had not eaten in weeks. On his back was his cutie mark, three music notes surrounding a skull. He then walked out of the room, leaving her alone in their bedroom. After what felt like hours, but was really minutes, he returned, sliding back into bed.

"He is f-fine Flutters, s-s-sleeping soundly." He stuttered, a small twitch to his brown eye. She let out a soft sigh of relief, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him close to her body, letting the blanket slide over them. He smiled, leaning in and kissing her lips.

"Good night my sharp butterfly."

"Good night my deadly melody."

Celestia looked down at the strange plush in her room. She was wearing an elegant white dress with golden trimmings. The dress had some trouble holding in her bountiful breasts, her large hips and rear also straining the dress. Her mane flowed in a non-existent wind, as did her tail. her beautiful eyes were fixed on her bed, a plushy with golden fur, a purple bow tie and top hat. The eyes were as black as coal but she saw two, small white dots in the eyes.

And they were looking right into hers.
