Author's Note

This was intended to be a stand alone story but the Story Approver ruled that it should be included with the original as a chapter update instead. Just think of it as a totally different story in a package deal with the first, because it is in no way an extension of the original story.

THE SEQUEL: "gotta save women 2: the ultimate save"

I woke up and I was scared. I was scared for my ponies.

But then they were all there. In my toybox. I had Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack (no hat though), Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and two Fluttershys cause I got one for my birthday after I already had a different one.

The second Fluttershy had some glitter wings and sometimes I would be moved by the beauty of her wings and tricolor hair. In those days I would say a prayer to her to take me onto those wings and lift me up into the clouds where there is no sweating anymore. We would sing together with birds and lightning and pound out the sweet raindrops that would nourish beautiful delicate flowers blooming in wormdirt made from roadkill skunks.

One day I think I overdid the feelings. I couldn't concentrate. I had the blue feeling of suffocating, I felt my ribs squeeze my heart and I held Fluttershy to my heart. I was on the floor on my side, writhing just a bit. The walls were all gone and the world was too wide open and I was all alone and dizzy, and I cried because I wanted Fluttershy to be my friend so I wouldn't be all alone.

The sun suddenly became very bright through my window. It was beautiful at first. But it got hot and then I actually got hurt by it. The sun kept getting brighter and descending towards my room. I had to look away because the sun was too bright.

My bed exploded into fire because of the heat, and before I knew it the fire had me surrounded. There was smoke and fire and it was so hot. I held Fluttershy to my heart because I didn't know what else to do. I was crying and I was so lonely and the light was so bright and it was hot.

* * * * *

When the fire died down, I was in some woods on a mushroom. The sun was a normal brightness. I heard a voice singing and I ran towards it.

It was Fluttershy who was singing! She was singing to her animals.

When she saw me she became excited. "Oh, uhm, hello! What kind of animal are you?" she said, shyly.

"I am a human boy," I said.

"Wow!" she said. "This is new... Uhm, will you please be a dear and wait here while I tend to the other animals?" She gave me a rub between the ears. It felt nice.

While I sat down on the spot and waited, I started thinking. I thought it was strange to see Fluttershy being real and alive. She was always a doll before. I wondered if the doll had come to life because of my wishing, or if it was some other kind of magic or maybe science that did it.

Either way, Fluttershy's joints really pivoted now, her wings really flapped, and her voice really carried a tune. This was new.

I had to watch her moving carefully so I could see if it was just somebody in a pony suit flying around pretending to be Fluttershy. Best I could tell though she was for real.

Eventually she finished up. Then she settled down in front of me. She sized me up.

"Why don't you come inside, sweetie?" Fluttershy said. "We'll get you washed up and fed, and try to figure out what you are."

I was a little confused. "I said I'm a human boy."

"Now, now. Don't growl," she said. "Don't you know that's not nice? You'll scare the others!" She flapped up and started giving me a back rub. It felt nice. I didn't know what else to do, so I went along with it.

Soon enough we got into Fluttershy's cozy little forest house. I had an opportunity to caress her crest and withers and I took it. The hair was bristly and smelled a bit. Fluttershy was very affectionate with me. She gave me a bath and scrubbed me all over. I hadn't realized how dirty I was before then: a lot of dark black soot was all over my hair and even my body. I blushed at first but I got used to it.

After drying me off she started looking through a few books. "Uhm, let's see... you're definitely a mammal, maybe some kind of chimp?"

"I'm a human," I said.

"Oh my, how inconsiderate of me! You must be starving," she said. "Here..." She flew upstairs.

When Fluttershy came back down she had her hooves full of bananas.

* * * * *

"Hi, Fluttershy!" said Twilight Sparkle, peeking in the doorway. "Angel said you needed my help?"

"Oh, yes, Twilight. Please come in." Twilight wiped her hooves off and stepped through the door. I was wearing a towel because I didn't have anything clean to wear. "Do you know what this animal is?" Fluttershy asked meekly. "I found the poor thing in the woods, covered in garbage."

"Hmm..." said Twilight Sparkle. "Let me have a look at him."

She walked deliberately over toward where I was sitting on the floor. I had to look up at her as she looked down at me. I watched the heave of her chest as she breathed and the twitching of muscles beneath her skin. It was still strange that my dolls were alive now, but I was getting used to it.

"Hey there little guy," Twilight said cheerfully. "Mind if I check you out?"

Somehow my towel lifted itself off from around my waist, so that I was completely exposed. Then I began to float. It was very frightening, and felt deeply wrong. I felt a cold chill in the deep part of my heart. It paralyzed me and I had to try hard just to keep breathing.

Frightened like that, I spun around in the air for a bit, disoriented. Then what I saw made it even scarier: there was an invisible sparkling glow surrounding Twilight. And I saw with the eyes of my soul that she was the one doing the magic, and that she was controlling me.

In an instant, all of the cruel, grotesque deformity of the situation flashed before my mind. Dolls—playing with me! A perfect inversion of the natural order established by God at creation. A deep cosmic horror at once penetrated the marrow of my bones and my mouth became dry.

In that instant, I knew with a cold horrible certainty that my dolls were not really alive. Only... only devils could be responsible for such a sinful thing. And my beloved dolls were being possessed by devils, and—and—and I had to save them.

I looked into Twilight's eyes, and nearly cried because I knew that the life I saw in them was only a demonic illusion. But I had to save her, so I struggled against her magic.

She broke her spell and backed up a little. "Whoa, there, little guy! Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you..."

I couldn't take it any more. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. So I shouted, "Go back to hell, you devil!" Then I punched Twilight Sparkle in her beautiful face with all my might.

She collapsed immediately. The devil had stopped possessing her.

I looked down at Twilight, and then I looked around and saw Fluttershy. She was standing on the floor, too stunned to move. I started hobbling towards her. I had to save her, too.

"Don't worry, Fluttershy," I said. "I won't let the devil controlling your body defile you any longer. All this sinfulness will be over soon."

Fluttershy gave a cry. She tried to pull out her wings and fly away, but they would not come uncoupled from her side. I saw that the devil in her was terrified, and I watched her make a break for the stairs. I ran to stop her from getting away, but the rabbit leaped into my face and starting biting my nose and cheeks, and I heard her hooves pounding the stairs.

With a holy rage, I forced the rabbit off my face. Then I hurled him bodily through the nearest window. I didn't know if he was an ordinary rabbit or if he was possessed by a demon too and needed to be saved. But I wanted to save Fluttershy most of all, so I ran up the stairs.

The door was locked, but I kicked it in.

I didn't see Fluttershy. I thought she got away through her window, but then I heard a whimper and I knew she was hiding under her bed. In a flash I grabbed her hind legs and dragged her up onto her bed.

She looked at me, and she was crying and begging. "Please, Mister Chimp, I'm sorry! I don't know what we did, if we made you angry, whatever it was I'm so, so sorry, please don't hurt me! Please!"

I was moved by her appeal, and, and her flesh was very soft and warm and cuddly. And I loved the feel of it, and I loved the smell. And I loved, loved, loved the sound of her voice.

The feeling of her breath on my neck sent chills up my spine. I had dreamed of feeling that breath on my neck for years.

And in a flash I wondered... couldn't I just forget what I knew? That she was a doll, possessed by a demon—couldn't I just overlook it? And start a new life here, with Fluttershy, and not be lonely any more?

But as soon as the thought entered my mind, I was overcome with a violent revulsion. Conspiring with demons to defile the woman I loved most in the world! The shamefulness of the temptation, no doubt also demonic, redoubled my anger and resolve.

So I put my fingers around my doll's neck, and with a cold righteous anger, over several minutes, I strangled the demon out of her.

* * * * *

After I had saved Fluttershy, I rested a while. I ate some bananas and drank some tea. But then I realized my other dolls might be possessed too.

So I dressed myself in my old dirty clothes, put on my shoes, and strode out the front door of Fluttershy's cottage, ready to do God's work.
