Dead on Arrival

"C'mon, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash was trying to push Fluttershy through the double doors of the TARDIS. Her hooves firmly stationed at each of the corners of the doors, bringing unpleasant flashbacks for Rainbow on the day of the dragon migration.

"Why? To get captured by some scary hairless ape?! NO!" Fluttershy argued at her chromatic oppressor.

        "Are you sure you want to miss out on learning about an entirely new ecosystem, chock full of new animals to meet?" Twilight encouraged from the inside of the TARDIS.

        "On second thought ... YES!" Fluttershy screamed, face obviously strained from countering Rainbow's strong wings with her measly legs.

        "Fluttershy, please! We know so little about this new world and its incredibly intricate ecosystem! You're the perfect one to study it!" Twilight continued.

        "Thanks, but, no thanks!" She squeaked, her eyes firmly shut. Grunting with incredible effort to counteract Rainbow's attempts at pushing her through.

        "Come on, Fluttershy! We brought you back from the dead, it's the least you could do! You owe us!" Rainbow Dash argued, frustrated at her ungrateful welt of a friend.

        Fluttershy's expression melted from fearful coward to one of anger, eyes squinting and mouth frowning in utter fury. "I said ... NO!" Fluttershy let herself get thrown in the TARDIS then took to the sky, revving up for a good bucking before she made her escape until she was captured in Twilight's field of magic.

        "Oh no, you don't!" She exclaimed. Twilight hogtied the cowardly pegasus in her magic and brought her to the ground. Her field keeping her in the air disappeared, but the sparkling bindings on her hooves and wings remained, keeping her restrained. Fluttershy did not like that one bit. She growled in rage, grinding her teeth and thrashed wildly on the ground in a fruitless attempt at escape.

        "Be still, Fluttershy! Doc, fire up the TARDIS!" Twilight commanded, keeping a careful eye on Fluttershy's struggles. "Are you coming, Rainbow?" Twilight asked over the growls and groans of Fluttershy to Rainbow, who was still just at the entrance of the TARDIS. the Doctor was contemplating on whether or not he should obey the princess' demands. His eyes shifted to empathy at the conflict the revenant on the floor was having, but who could disobey a direct order from royalty?

        "Nah, they need me at Wonderbolt headquarters," she excused. "Hope it goes well with her," Rainbow wished to Twilight, gesturing a hoof to the squirming Fluttershy. She took off out of the Doctor's laboratory and into the clouds, leaving a desperately struggling Fluttershy flopping on the floor like a dying fish. The Doctor was morally conflicted. To see Fluttershy's best friends be so blasé about her struggle and how they just tied her up and threw her into this mission she never wanted to go on angered him. When he abducted people to go on adventures he always made sure they were at least consenting. Was this what it was like when he dismissed their woes with such apathy? When he treated Applejack's deathly heart condition so lightheartedly? He hovered his hoof over the lever ever since the princess commanded a few moments ago, yet dared not pull.

        "It's no use, Fluttershy. Here, put this on," Twilight levitated a gold diamond necklace to Fluttershy. "It'll protect you from the magic vacuum," she explained. She slipped the necklace over her head for her, it was no easy task with a head that mobile. Fluttershy stopped trying to struggle her way out in a matter of minutes while Twilight and the Doctor watched her burn through her oil in suspicion and conflict respectively as Fluttershy kicked and thrashed the last of her fuel away and laid curled on the floor, depleted of her fighting vigour. She faced away from the Doctor and Twilight and to the wall in crushing defeat and dread, panting like mad. Twilight trotted over to her friend's aid within a few minutes after she had some time to cool off. She trotted across the clanking steel floor and knelt down.

        "Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of. The girls and I have explored here plenty of times, and we're okay," Twilight comforted, a little bit nervous of a surprise attack.

Unsurprisingly, she didn't answer. She just seemed content with having a staring contest with the floor. "Okay, well you think about it. I'll just be waiting over by the Doctor if you want to talk," Twilight got up from the floor and trotted back to the control panel next to the Doctor. As she walked, Fluttershy rolled over to turn to Twilight, head flopped on the floor and mane tangled and messy, her legs still tied up in the most uncomfortable of manners. She whined softly to Twilight with a nervous frown and huge eyes,

        "I'm still scared," she squeaked, quiet as a mouse. Twilight turned her head to face Fluttershy with sympathy, even though the answer was painfully obvious. Twilight trotted back to the mess of a Fluttershy to give her some more encouragement.

        "I know that what you went through was hard. Nopony should ever have to go through what you did. Harry eating almost all of your animals in your absence when we forgot to call a sitter, watching your own autopsy, dying in one of the most unheard of and horrible ways ever known to ponykind, having a crude depiction of a penis stained on your forehead for weeks and weeks on end, no matter how much you washed," she trailed off.

        "Thanks for reminding me," Fluttershy answered sarcastically, turning away from Twilight and back to facing the ground, rolling to her other side.

        "But we still need your help. There's an entirely new world out there teeming with life. None of us have the same level of expertise as you do with animals, and we can't go any further into researching this world's vastly complex ecosystem until we do. Aside from the Everfree, It's the first one we know of that has the ability to operate entirely on its own. It confuses us, and you're the best shot we have of understanding it," Twilight encouraged in a soft, gentle tone. "Well, you keep thinking about it," she finished. She laid a hoof on Fluttershy like an alien touching down on another planet, attempting some level of comfort, but failing. Twilight wished Applejack was here. She always knows how to give a pep talk. Twilight trotted towards the Doctor when Fluttershy spoke up, turning to face Twilight,

        "Okay, I'll go," Fluttershy finally said in a tone weak as thin, brittle glass. Fluttershy couldn't leave her friends hanging. Rainbow was right. She died for her foolishness and it was their combined effort that undid it. The least she could do is meet a few animals. Twilight turned to her and smiled softly, then turned to the Doctor.

        "Okay, let's go," Twilight replied in an encouraging, yet soft tone. She turned to the Doctor, "Somewhere pretty, please," the Doctor did as he was asked and flung the knobs and switches, but with a confused expression. The transportation of the vessel caused the entire structure to rumble once more, as it has hundreds of thousands of times. It stopped moments later at their destination as the screaming of the Doctor's device slowed to a stop. Twilight trotted to the door and pulled it open with magic. "You ready, Fluttershy?" Twilight unbound Fluttershy from her magical shackles. She rose to her hooves, fixed her mane, and turned to Twilight. She walked to the door slowly and nervously. Her necklace swinging like a pendulum around her neck, shivering in fear. Sunlight poured in through the door, a portal to a beautiful realm of pristine wilderness. Twilight walked out casually and waited beside the door, leaning on the TARDIS to wait for Fluttershy. She let the poor mare take her time to face her fears. Again.

        Fluttershy shut her eyes tight as she tiptoed next to the door, the warm summer air breezing past her coat and the soothing sunlight seeping through her eyelids. "Okay, here I go," Fluttershy squeaked, her voice quivering with fear. She remembered a tactic for facing her fears Pinkie taught her a few years ago and repeated it as best she could by memory.

        "A hop," She jumped on all fours, crouching down to the floor just before the door, eyes shut.

        "Skip," She leant on her front legs, lifting her hind ones in the air like she was rearing up for a buck, but brought them down; kicking her off into the air a few feet forward and through the door, the smells of summer breezing into her nostrils as her face zoomed to the ground.

        "Oof!" She face-planted head first on the grass. Twilight snapped her attention from the incredible scenery to Fluttershy's crumpled form, her hind legs dangling in the air.

        "Fluttershy! Are you okay?" Twilight offered a hoof to Fluttershy.

        "I guess I forgot to jump," She answered sheepishly with a little smile. Twilight giggled as Fluttershy took her hoof and used it to push herself up, opening her eyes to a fantastic world.

        Fluttershy's pupils exploded in excitement and beauty, taking in as much of the crystal blue lake perfectly reflecting the majestic rocky mountains like an aquamarine mirror. Seemingly billions upon billions of towering evergreens shrouded the land below like grass blades. She plopped on her haunches, taking as much of the godly pure sight as her retinas could ever manage as the warm beams of alien sun soaked in her skin. Her mouth was cracked open in pure joy, curling into a smile of wonder. Her eyes twinkled in amazement.

        "Well, what do you think?" Twilight asked, relieved to see that reconnecting her to her love of nature brought her out of some deep cuts in her past, even if just for a little while.

        She responded to this question by beaming a smile wide as a mile, not even looking at her when she uttered "It's just magnificent!"

        "Do you want to see the animals? They're everywhere around here," Twilight encouraged her even deeper love of animals to flourish. It worked like a charm. Fluttershy turned her head to Twilight, her eyes brimming with excitement, and mouth smiling pearl white teeth in the same. Her very being radiated pure happiness. "I'll take that at a yes," Twilight gestured Fluttershy to follow.

        As they scaled down the path, Fluttershy was disappointed at the lack of animals she saw. Hardly a squirrel crossed their path without so much as a glance,

until Fluttershy saw something on the lake. A canoe dock, to be specific. A pang of anxiety ran through her. "Twilight? Are you sure we're alone here?"

        "What do you mean?" Twilight turned to Fluttershy curiously to listen to her evidence. She pointed a hoof at the canoe dock with dreadful eyes. Twilight took notice and tried to calm her nerves.

        "Oh, that thing? It's miles away! I wouldn't worry about it," Twilight tried to reassure her, but instead sounded a little dismissive, but it sort of worked. Her face loosened up, but her ears were still twitching on high alert for any humans.

        About a mile down their nature walk, Twilight pointed something out, "Look!" she nudged Fluttershy out of her nervous trance causing her to jump, and pointed to a rotting tree to the left of their path about 11 feet in the forest, swarming with bees. "You wanna try working your magic?" Fluttershy was elated to find some kind of fauna besides themselves here. She shot Twilight a smile, and fluttered over to the swarm, practically buzzing with her own excitement.

        "Hello! My name's Fluttershy. It's always nice to meet a new swarm," She introduced herself to the prickly pollinators as politely as she could, landing a few feet away from the decaying tree. She felt more at peace and relaxed now that she has some creatures with her. She always felt soothed by them. She could connect with them better than with almost any pony she knew, and in most cases, vice versa. She was right up next to the rotting bark of the tree, face to face with a seething wall of bees, leaning in to hear their response. Finding none, she leaned in a little closer, curiously.

        "Hello?" She bent down closer, bringing her muzzle so close to the fuzzy backs of the bees she could almost feel the tickle of their fuzz. She kept waiting for a response with excited, open eyes. After a few seconds, a curious bee crawled on her muzzle, waggling its bottom and sniffing for nectar. Possibly confusing her for a strange variety of moving dandelion. "Oh, hello! What's your name?" She asked her furry acquaintance kindly, however, the sudden shaking and moving of her muzzle as she greeted flung the poor thing around, frightening it considerably, and stung her right on the nose.

        "Youch!" Fluttershy jumped back from the swarm a few feet onto her haunches, bringing her hooves up to her nose to nurse her wound. The bee buzzed off and back to the hive to resume its duties, not even giving her a second glance. No bee has never stung Fluttershy before, she was always so kind and considerate to them they never had to. They always at least acknowledged her words with a waggle, but these bees didn't even seem to care she was there. She brushed the stinger off her nose and started to worry, her brows creasing in sadness. "Was it something I said?" she gasped, "Was I too intrusive? I'm sorry!" She apologized to the bees, yet they didn't even acknowledge her. Fluttershy got up off the ground, brushing twigs and leaves off her flanks as Twilight called out to her,

        "Is everything okay over there?" Fluttershy turned her head to her.

        "Oh, It's nothing. I think I just offended them by accident," Her conscious mind quickly tried to formulate an explanation on the fly, "I don't think I know their language or mannerisms yet," She gestured to the bee swarm. A small welt was beginning to form on the tip of her nose from the sting.

        "Okay, well, do you want to move on? There's still a lot of ground to cover! I think I saw a dog or something around here one time, I'm sure he'd be more reasonable!" Twilight encouraged. At that moment, Fluttershy felt nature's call.

        "Just a second, I, uh, have to go," She squeaked to Twilight, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment. Her voice volume dampening as she finished her sentence and crouching slightly in shame, shifting her eyes in awkwardness.

        "Well, okay, I'll just wait here until you come back," Twilight turned her back while Fluttershy found a place to 'go'.

        Fluttershy trotted deeper into the wood, gawking at the forest ceiling as she tried to find a place discreet enough for her tastes. She looked deeper among the trees and found a thick gathering of shrubbery; about one and a half times her height. She glanced back at Twilight and noticed that she travelled quite a ways away from the path, almost out of earshot. She was so enveloped in nature that she didn't even notice. She pushed her front hooves into the bushes, pulling them apart and finding a small clearing in the forest. Just far enough away to feel a good sense of privacy for a pony of her nature, and enough space to swing a dead cat.

        She carefully tiptoed into the patch of grass and into the centre of the clearing. Before she went she did a final sweep of privacy around the shrubbery to ensure that no bird, beast, or human would catch her in the act, spinning in circles around the bushes. Once she was satisfied with the privacy of her improvised toilet, she crouched down just slightly and relaxed, sending a stream of pale yellow urine flowing out of her urethra. She still remained on high alert; ears twitching for the slightest stimuli and eyes peeled for the tiniest rustle. She was still on her tiptoes as she urinated, soaking the dirt in it, morphing it into a vile mud below her belly. She spattered her hooves with it just a little with a continuous splashing noise as she doused the ground in urine. She was just finishing up until she heard a rustling in the bushes directly in front of her, causing her to jump and stop prematurely. Her face exploded in red like a tomato as she shook with embarrassment.

        "Wh-who's there?" She squeaked through her trembling lips. The rustling continued until the head of a lone grey wolf emerged from out of the bushes. Fluttershy sighed in relief until she heard it growl and saw it bare its teeth. Fluttershy didn't understand why any animal would be angry at her, especially considering her special talent was working with animals and that she had done absolutely nothing to offend it. After a few moments of processing this unheard of event, she concluded that it was just intimidated by a new face in the forest. It just dawned on her that none of these animals have ever seen ponies before, and concluded that the reason why she must feel so alienated is because she was an alien. They felt strange around her. After all, she is technically from an entirely different dimension. In that moment, she was determined to finally give a great first impression.

        "you almost done in there?" Twilight screamed into the wood, yet her attempts at communication went totally unnoticed by Fluttershy. She was too enveloped in communicating with her new friend.

        "It's okay, little guy," She started. Fluttershy put on her most welcoming smile and sweetest motherly eyes she could and offered a hoof to the dog. All a genuine attempt at friendship in the most universally recognizable way she could manage. A hoof for friendship. But the wolf continued to growl, snarling at the gesture, and continued his prowl out of the bush with his head low to the ground. His intent was clear to almost anyone but herself, an intent Fluttershy never expected with her flawless experience.

        "There's no need to be afraid," she tried to calm the poor wolf. She carefully walked towards him, her hoof still offering friendship until it was right in front of the dog's face. The wolf's face wrinkled and scrunched at the buttery appendage jutting in front of his face. Fluttershy raised it over his head to pet him, but the wolf's muzzle tracked its movement over his head, turning his head side to side as it was directly above his head, trying to get a clear view.

        Fluttershy brought down her hoof slowly to his head, that's when the wolf struck. His jaws opened wide and snapped at Fluttershy's outstretched hoof, clamping down on it with his incisors with the strength of a bear trap.

        Fluttershy winced in pain and inhaled sharply, a tear ran down her cheek from shock. This is the first time in her life that an animal has ever struck her, and it took her by surprise. It took a while to process what was going on, but once the wolf started thrashing it from side to side, sending spurts of blood spattering to the dirt and digging fangs deeper into her flesh, that's when it registered with her. Her face morphed into a terrified expression as she began to choke out a scream.

        "Fluttershy? Is everything okay?" Twilight called from the path. She was gone for a while now, and that sent a surge of worry through Twilight. Fluttershy didn't hear her, though. The wolf was too busy ripping her leg to ribbons.

        After the initial shock wore off and her arm thoroughly mangled, blood freely flowing out of the wound now, she batted her hoof at the angry dog, hoping to dislodge him from her leg. To her utter terror, with every strike she made, it only increased the wolf's vigour. Fluttershy was starting to panic. She unfurled her wings, hoping to take to the skies to shake off the angry beast in midair, silently screaming with every breath she took.

        She pumped her wings, taking to the air quickly. She pumped harder and faster, panting heavily. She knew exactly where to go. "Twilight!" She screamed, her voice choked with tears, making it barely audible to anypony but herself. She was a few feet off the ground now, but she didn't even know where she was. She was deep in the forest, and the path was nothing but a distant memory. She tried shaking off the dog, of which was standing on his hind legs, but his jaw held firm, wriggling and growling furiously. That's when 3 more wolves pounced out of the bushes, launching themselves at Fluttershy's left side, catching her off guard as she was busy with the one on her hoof. She was only about 4 feet off the ground when they struck.

        One wolf dug his teeth into her hind leg, his sharp incisors puncturing the soft skin and tough muscle of her hind leg, sparking a new source of pain. Fluttershy's head jerked to her left, squeaking in intense discomfort. She saw the other wolves about to strike, causing her to go into a frenzy of fear. Fluttershy pumped her wings even harder and bucked like wild, causing the wolf to fly backwards behind her while his brothers hooked onto her wing and her other front leg, grinding their fangs into her soft flesh, much to Fluttershy's displeasure. Their combined weight and crippling of one of her wings slowed her ascent significantly, but kicked her into overdrive. Fluttershy screamed bloody murder, bearing a face embodying pure terror. Her good wing flapping almost as fast as a hummingbirds just to stay airborne, yet she was still gaining height faster than she thought she ever could with so much weight.

----------

        The wolf barked in pain as he landed on the forest floor. When they sent Gunther to distract it they didn't know it could fly! He rose to his paws, regaining his bearings as quick as he could. The hunt was still on. He snapped his attention to their prey and realized that they were going to eventually lose their catch if he didn't do something quick. It'd eventually shake off his buddies eventually, and when that happens it'll fly away, never to be seen again. It'd be a shame to lose such an incredible, yet strange catch. He wondered what it tasted like. The wolf took a minute to think amidst the growling and screaming. What he needed was a perfect strike. One that'd bring down this strange flying ... deer thing right out of the air. He stared at his prey for a minute, until he noticed two small lumps of something soft and squishy on its underbelly, behind its dangling tail and dangerous legs. They were small, barely noticeable, and definitely hard to hit, but they sure looked sensitive. He finished his plan. He knew exactly where to clamp his jaws to end this hunt for good.

The determined dog charged up for a risky attack. If he was noticed before he struck he'd get bucked, and if he failed it'd shake off his buddies and get away. Despite his pack's best efforts, it was gaining air fast. He had one shot at this. The wolf charged at full speed to the underbelly of the yellow beast until he passed under the tail as it swung like the pendulum of a grandfather clock, acted upon by the uneven flight of the small yellow deer. Mid-sprint, he glanced up at the squishy lumps. They already had a few bite marks on them, but that didn't matter to him. He reared up on his hind legs, and propelled himself up as far as he could, muzzle wide open. It was just enough. He felt one of the furry bulges of fat caress his nose, triggering him to clamp down as hard as he could. The taste of skin and distinct texture of curly hair greeted his taste-buds. As his teeth dug deeper into the bulge of fat, puncturing the skin, the irony taste of hemoglobin overpowered the taste of skin and fur, yet the texture remained. The blood was sweet.

-----<(Literally One Second Earlier)>-----

        Fluttershy was trying to flail her front hooves, but the dogs were too heavy. Instead, they swung like pendulums as they thrashed around, desperately trying to bring her down to the ground. She forgot all about getting back to Twilight. All she cared about now was escaping the wolves' fierce death grip and flying to safety, wherever that may be. That goal was severely hindered by the one wolf currently busying himself with breaking every bone in her left wing, leaving her to work with only her right while the other had its delicate hollow bones cracked and snapped under the wolf's jaws. She pumped it harder than ever before, the wing screaming in its own way with tire and pain with the burden of lifting 3 heavy animals and herself, but it worked. She was still gaining air. A pant of relief coming as another one of her screams escaped her mouth, as she was about 11 feet in the air. The wolves seemed to be coming loose, dangling in the air and feeling their jaws lighten in loss of confidence as they realized just how far up they were. She smiled in relief until an incredibly sensitive, intense, and cripplingly powerful pain exploded in her teat.

        "Eeeep!" Fluttershy squeaked. Her face exploded in blush and her nose scrunched in indescribable pain, eyes blasting open in shock. The intense agony coming from her privates was a far cry from the pain than what the other 3 wolves were inflicting. This pain was so incredible it caused her natural reflexes to kick in and overpower her fight or flight response. Her hind legs shut in to protect her underbelly, trapping what she felt was a rather cunning furry wolf between her legs, biting like hell at her most sensitive organ. Her right wing instinctively shut closed with a snap, sending her plummeting to the ground face first. She landed on the forest floor with an incredible

THUMP!

        Fluttershy's fall landed her right on her front hooves, knocking the wolves off her front legs and dazed the other two, but sending her forehead to slam with force into her own warm piss puddle. The wolves dislodged themselves from Fluttershy in shock, just enough for her to make her escape. She got up to her hooves and tried to fly with her good wing, still with double vision from the impact. She pumped it hard again, gaining a few feet of air, but without the stability of the other or a wolf to keep her balanced, she wobbled in the air and sputtered straight to the ground once more, bashing her head on the soft grass, a deceitful facade to hide the rock-hard dirt underneath. She opted to sprint instead. She wearily got up to her hooves, her head spinning, forelegs crying, and tried to gallop through the bushes she came in. But as she tried to move her hind legs, the same sensitive pain she felt when the wolf bit her roared back to her consciousness as she tried. She yelped in pain and collapsed to the floor, her shredded forelegs stretched out in front of her, and her hind legs outstretched behind her caused her teats to slam down on the dirt, sending the crippling pain coursing again, causing her to yelp in pain once more.

        She craned her neck behind her while she was lying on the ground to find the wolves just rising on their feet, wobbling in their own confusion as they tried to regain their bearings. Fluttershy turned her head to the forest shrubbery in front of her and opted to crawl instead, trailing blood behind her in streaks from her mangled legs and fun-bags.

        "Somepony, anypony! Help!" She screamed at the top of her lungs into the forest.

"Don't worry! I'm coming!" Twilight charged into the forest long ago to find her. Her extremely familiar screams of terror didn't go unnoticed. She galloped deeper into the forest to aid her panicking friend, yet as she galloped into the pines, hooves clopping loudly on the grass floor, she noticed that the further she travelled the harder it was to find her. Fluttershy's cries of pain were hard to pinpoint in the massive shroud of evergreen. Twilight looked in all directions, desperately trying to find where she might be. Twilight was closer than she thought, but the shrubbery Fluttershy chose to conceal herself was too effective, hiding her crippled form almost perfectly.

        "Twilight! Help!" Fluttershy screamed again, the wolves were almost ready for another strike.

        "Where are you?" Twilight spun around the forest, she was desperately thinking of a plan B. The trail she came from was almost out of sight.

        "Help!" Fluttershy screamed again, but it was fruitless. It didn't help Twilight find her. It only made Twilight more high-strung, until she remembered the Doctor's tracking device.

        "Hold on for just a few minutes, I'm getting the Doctor! Wait here until we come back!" Twilight charged back out to the path, taking to the sky above the evergreens once she left the dense forest. Hovering just above the treetops, she wasn't very subtle. She flew as fast as she could to the TARDIS.

        "No! Don't leave me!" It was too late, Twilight was gone and the wolves have all but regained their bearings. They charged at her again. Even though Fluttershy didn't want to see them. She was staring straight as a statue at the bushes in front of her, petrified in fear, yet she could still hear them snarl and their paws pitter-pattering on the muddy blood and piss dirt and grass rang through her ears to her utter dread of what was next to come. Her legs pathetically crawled to the shrubbery, cringing at the pain in her groin and legs. It wasn't enough.

        Two wolves grabbed at her hind legs and tugged her to the centre of the clearing. Fluttershy screamed as loud as her lungs could allow, shutting her eyes as hard as she could manage as her limp body was dragged along, her front hooves trailing in front of her head across the ground. The dirt and friction rubbing, grating into the open wound was agonizing, yet she kept her eyes clenched. She didn't want to see what was coming next. Nature was coming next.

        The wolves dragged her over tiny puddles of her own blood, staining her coat small streaks of reddish brown until they came to her splotch of urine. Fluttershy was dragged to the centre of it, her stomach lying in the middle of the vile mud. She rolled on her side and curled up into a ball protecting her head, throat, and belly, trying to make herself last as long as she could. But is was of little use. Two wolves clamped down on her sides and rolled her on her back, but Fluttershy responded by bucking as hard as she could in an attempt to take one out in sheer desperation, yet all she hit was air, exposing her privates to the wolves. They had no problem with that.

        The same wolf that brought her down knew exactly where to strike. He thrusted his muzzle at her intact teat, just as Fluttershy realized how much she goofed, but it was too late. The wolf ensnared the tiny flesh-bag in his maw, clenching as hard as he could, ripping into the squishy flesh, tugging at it, causing detestable noises of ripping flesh to emanate from her crotch. Fluttershy seized up with intolerable pain, locking her legs extended in the air, exposing her fragile underbelly to the ravenous dogs. They took no time at all to capitalize on this opportunity.

        Two wolves thrusted their maws at the flabby, soft flesh of her underbelly. Feeling slightly tough and clenched abdominal muscles on their noses as they dug into the pale yellow flab, ripping it off her skeletal muscles with a bit of effort. Fluttershy screamed in agony, wincing and keeping her eyes glued shut and squirming like mad, each jolt of motion caused the wolf gnawing on her privates to clamp even harder down, sending her into another spell of crippling agony.

        While one wolf was trying to keep her in place by biting her weak spot, and the other two already feasting on the belly, her forelegs protected her face, throat, and chest. The fourth wolf wanted to end this quick and stop her squirming for good. He trotted up to Fluttershy's cowering face, which was buried in her own hooves, screaming and sobbing insanely. He leaned down and nipped at her forehead, trying to egg her to come out, but instead got her to sink deeper into her shelter as she squirmed in pain, crying loudly into her hooves. The canine would have none of this. He turned his attention to the ridiculously long mane. He got an idea. he grabbed her long pink mane and tugged, forcefully pulling Flutterturtle's head out of her shell. Her neck was totally exposed and sopping wet eyes pointed directly to the sky, only thinking of the pain, and home.

        He had to strike fast, Fluttershy's head was already snapping back into the mild comfort of her hooves, so the wolf did was came naturally. He thrusted his jaws at her neck, but as Fluttershy's face was snapping back into the fetal position, his mouth bit directly on her gigantic eye instead. He clenched his jaws as hard as he could anyway, sending a deluge of blood and vitreous fluid pouring down her cheek, mixing with the tears in a slippery flood. He reeled back from the strike, bringing with him half her eye and her entire eyelid.

        Fluttershy screamed a guttural roar of agony. She instinctively bucked her hooves, causing a wave to ripple down her body. Culminating at her teat, which a wolf was clutching. This buck kicked him backwards off of her, but he never let go of her teat. It was at this moment that Fluttershy discovered new levels of pain that she never thought it was possible to feel. The wolf landed on his back about a foot away, gnawing on the fuzzy bag of flesh, pouring blood out of its sensitive capillaries. It had been completely torn off her body, leaving a gushing red spot of pulsing flesh where it used to be, right next to its mangled cousin.

        In this incredible, life changing pain erupting like Krakatoa from her crotch, Fluttershy couldn't control herself. She voided her bowels loudly on the ground below her, splattering her flowing tail with a thick stew of brown. Her conscious mind just can't take so much agony and stress, so, she fainted, like she has many times before in her life. Her body went limp, her legs relaxed and dropped to the filthy forest floor, soaked in mud created by her own blood and other fluids. Her eye shut while what was left of the other stayed open, as there was nothing to close, her body relaxed in its natural position on her back. One eye shut while the other remained open in a grotesque, broken wink the wolves had made. Her wings unfurled slightly, the crippled one hinging out like a broken door, feathers ruffled and bloody. her forelegs flopped to their respective sides and hind legs doing the same, spreading wide, revealing her shredded teats, tiny, filthy brown puckered anus and damp pinprick urethra. Her mouth drooped agape, revealing pearl white teeth, yet her fangs were nowhere to be seen. Her head fell back into the dirt, exposing her throat, effectively putting it on display for the ravenous dogs.

        The wolf that bit her eye, in the heat of the adrenaline of the hunt, thrusted at her exposed throat. Fluttershy didn't care. She was unconscious and unflinching to the attack. The wolf locked its jaws around her neck, gripping tight, and thrashed at her neck, shaking it vigorously as his brothers continued to feast on her abs. A sickening gurgle sputtered to life in her windpipe as blood poured in from her gushing carotid. The hot, runny crimson fluid spewed from side to side with each thrash of the wolf's jaws. Fluttershy's unconscious body convulsed in pain, the tear in her throat spewing a red mist through her improvised tracheotomy with each attempted gasp and exhale her slumbering body took.

        The wolf took her bloody neck in a tighter grip, feeling the hot breath pumping out through the gurgling blood into his maw. With one quick motion, the wolf jerked her neck side to side.

KRACK!

        The gurgle of blood stopped, it only flowed now. The involuntary twitches of agony ceased as well.

        It was done. The wolves began their feast amidst the cover of the shrubbery. Until they heard a bear's

ROOOAAR!

The wolves jumped up from their fresh kill on alert and paused a moment, still as stones. Once they heard footsteps of what they had to assume was a hungry grisly, they jumped up and opted to scurry away, leaving the mangled and broken remains of an unfortunate pegasus in their wake for the hungry bears to take.

"Woah, that's realistic!"

        "Oh, shit! Waddup?" 42 greeted, just as Fluttershy was regaining her bearings in the weightless dimension. Fluttershy opened her eyes, relieved that the pain and terror was finally over. Her limbs, mane, and tail dangled aimlessly in a very familiar fashion. Fluttershy took a moment to process what just happened to her and flicked her eyes in all directions, only seeing blinding white light, and realized where she was.

        "Oh, ponyfeathers!"
