Apprentices

Scootaloo just returned to her home after another grueling training day. She was resting from the whole ordeal. And it had been two weeks since Orion was found having committed suicide. His body was found hanging on a pole. Scootaloo had cried for a week. Her friends had different ways, but most had already Turned. They all had their own reasons why. Applebloom did it because she a had a sim, Babs Seed to make sure she wasn’t lonely, Sweetie Belle because her sister did it for her, and now Bunny because of Fluttershy. Scootaloo knew that, as she and Spike are the only ones left, they have to do whatever they can to keep their friends from going crazy.

Maybe Nightmare may know what happened to Fluttershy. Scootaloo thought.

It made sense; Nightmare did mention Fluttershy and the other were here. Maybe if she got information about the yellow Pegasus, she could find what happened to the others. Taking a deep breath, Scootaloo walked out of her house and to Nightmare’s office.

“So, it’s all here in this computer?” Scootaloo asked as she sat on the seat and clicked the file that read “Butchershy”.

“Yes, and it’s nice to see candidates doing a little research on one of our best Murderesses. Well, I’ll be leaving to take care of some documents, just call me if you need anything” Nightmare smiled as she walked out of the room.

Scootaloo nodded as she turned her attention back to the screen. She looked through the files, until she found the last one, “Final Battle”. She had no idea what that meant, but it was worth a shot. Opening the file, she found the video footage of what happened that day.

And it all made her throw up.

What she found gave her the shock of her life. In it, it showed footage of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash fighting in Single Combat. Rainbow then sliced Fluttershy in the chest, making her collapse in a pool of blood. The video ended with the sight of Rainbow crying at the corpse of Fluttershy.

Scootaloo knew this was bad. Not just because since she was related to Dash and that Bunny cared for Fluttershy, but because it was really bad. If Bunny finds out that her sister killed her Mistress, she’d snap. This would cause doom in her entire gang. Bunny would kill them all if she found out she Turned for nothing. Scootaloo had to think of something, anything, to protect the alien.

Then it hit her, the vial of Victim’s Blood she had with her. If Bunny used the victim’s Blood to help her find Fluttershy, then Scootaloo could do the same to protect Bunny. Without any more hesitation, she drank down the vial. Scootaloo’s eyes showed their first sign of Apprenticeship, the darker hue in pupils and black irises. They turned back to normal after a split second.
