The Royal Meal (Alternate Ending)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Two hours had passed when Dr. Hooves came out into the waiting room, approached Luna and said, "Princess Luna your Majesty, you can come back and see Twilight."

Luna nodded and headed back to the room where they had Twilight. Twilight was looking better than she was earlier but she could still tell that Twilight was still not in good shape. Luna grabbed her hoof and said, "I'm sorry this happened Twilight. I feel bad that I couldn't get her off of you sooner."

Twilight replied, "It's alright Princess, you saved me and that is all that matters."

The two then heard a crash and then ponies running around in terror. Luna knew what had happened, she knew that Fluttershy must have gotten into the hospital. While she was expecting to hear somepony screaming in agony as they were being fed on, that was not the case. Luna then began to wonder perhaps if it wasn't something else entirely that was going on.

She would continue to think that until she heard hissing right outside the door. She flared her horn up and suggested, "Twilight, if you can, get behind something. She is out there and I know that she is going to come after you, she wants to finish her meal."

Twilight nodded and hid behind the bed that she was on while Luna stood guard, ready to strike. Both felt a sense of dread as they heard Fluttershy trying to kick the door down. Twilight knew that if she got in and Luna couldn't stop her, that she would not survive. Finally Fluttershy kicked the door down and had a look of hunger in her eyes. She hissed, "Surrender her and I'll let you live!"

Luna yelled, "No, I will not surrender her." She readied herself to strike and yelled, "Stand down and maybe I'll let YOU survive!"

Fluttershy did not take kindly to the comment and charged towards Luna. Luna fired a bolt of energy but would miss and very quickly Fluttershy pounced on her, sank her teeth into her neck and began to feed. Twilight jumped on Fluttershy and tried to pull her off but would wind up getting kicked to the other side of the room. Luna tried to grasp Fluttershy in her aura to remove her but by that point she had grown too weak to even grasp her.

As she continued to feed, something began to happen to Fluttershy. She felt magic begin to flow into her body, she felt herself begin to grow and a horn grew out of her head. When she finally finished Luna off, she had all of her magic flowing through her. She then turned to Twilight and hissed, "And now, I shall finish my meal!"

Twilight was still rather fatigued and worn out from her previous encounter with her but knew that trying to stop her would be better than merely surrendering to her. Twilight powered up her horn but would be unable to stop Fluttershy as she attacked her too quickly. Fluttershy sank her fangs into her neck and began to finish her off. As Twilight was getting weaker, her cries became quieter and right as Fluttershy finished her off, a unicorn doctor got to the room.

He yelled, "You have killed many but that stops here!"

Fluttershy hissed, "Ha, a lowly unicorn stop me? I think not!"

She pounced on him and immediately began to feed. As he was thrashing about and growing weaker he yelled, "We have to get a hold of Princess Cadence, maybe she can stop....."

The doctor then went quiet as Fluttershy finished him off. The rest of the personnel in the hospital that night were earth ponies and they knew that they wouldn't stand a chance. Fluttershy looked out the window and noticed that it was still dark. Given that Luna was no longer alive to move the celestial bodies, she knew that she would no longer have to worry about daylight, she knew that she could hunt and feed at will.

She then decided to leave the hospital and head north into the forest. She knew that they were wanting to get a hold of Cadence and realized that if she could take her out, that there may very well be nothing that could stop her. The first thing running through her mind though was getting some rest so she headed to the castle of the two sisters to rest up before going after Cadence.
