A not so shy Fluttershy

Fluttershy slowly opens her eyes; her head pounding. She tries to move, but her legs are strapped down to a metal table and her wings tied to her sides. Her head is the only thing not strapped down, so she looks around the room. Straight ahead of her Fluttershy sees a mirror; she also sees a big bruise on the side of her head where the bat had made contact. Next to the mirror was a dark room and in that room she could barely see a shadowy figure. Fluttershy's heart skipps a beat, 'is that the same figure from my room?' she thinks.

The figure walks into the light; it was a stallion. "You can call me Dr. Birch," he says, "let's get started shall we?" Dr.Birch pulls out a syringe.

Fluttershy looks at the needle, "What are you going to do?" she asks.

"Oh, I'm just going to take some of your blood to make a copy of you," states Dr. Birch, “Then I'm going to have that copy kill all of your little friends."

Fluttershy's eyes start to water "k-kill?" She asks.

Dr. Birch laughed then says, "why yes, and we'll start with the weakest one, you." He sticks the needle into her leg drawing out some blood. Streams of tears fall down Fluttershy's face at the thought of her friends being dead.

She asks in a shaken up voice "w-won't the co-copy be like me?"

Dr. Birch chuckles at her question as if it were a joke, "if it was just your blood, then yes," he explains, "but it's going to be mixed with the blood of a dragon; he's both aggressive and blood thirsty." He goes back into the dark room; from the room Fluttershy hears a click, she's then blinded for a couple seconds. As soon as Fluttershy could see again she opens her mouth in awe and in fear. What she sees in the room was a big machine; next to it was a seduced dragon that was in a cage. Dr. Birch starts to hum while he pours her blood into the machine. The machine starts to shake; after a while it makes a strange buzzing sound. The sound of a door opening came from the room, but Fluttershy couldn't see where it was opening from.

Dr. Birch walks out of the room and stands in front of her. "Let me introduce you to Anti-shy," he says happily. A yellow Pegasus walks into the room; she looks exactly like Fluttershy. The only physical difference between the two was their eyes. Fluttershy's eyes were a light blue color while her copy's were a light green. The two stare at each other for a while, only for their eye contact to be severed by a roar. "Looks like the dragon's awake," says Dr. Birch excitedly, "let's test our copy's creativity." Fluttershy hears clicking sounds from within the room. She looked inside and sees the caged dragon ascending up through a hole in the ceiling. When she looks back Anti-shy was gone, but she could be heard trotting away.

"Where's she going?" asked Fluttershy.

Dr. Birch looks at Fluttershy and says, "She’s going to go kill the dragon, and until she's finished you're going to take a little nap." He pulls out another syringe and sticks it into her other leg injecting her with an anesthetic; within seconds she falls asleep.

When Fluttershy wakes up she finds herself lying on a soft sandy surface. She looks up; what she sees almost makes her vomit. Lying on the ground in front of her is the dragon. Its eyes were gauged out of its sockets, it was missing chunks of flesh all over its body. Worse of all, its torso was ripped open revealing it's broken ribs, punctured lungs, and missing heart. Fluttershy looks beyond the dragon and sees Anti-shy wielding a bloody combat knife in her mouth. She has no injuries and wore the smile of a maniac. Fluttershy slowly gets up, not wanting to fall back on the ground. She looks around, the walls had mold on them and there was no ceiling. 'Where am I' Fluttershy thinks.

"I see you're finally awake," Dr. Birch’s voice echoes, "welcome, to the abandoned arena."

Fluttershy looks around some more before seeing him, standing behind her, “why did you kill that dragon?" she asks.

"It's so I can see if Anti-shy is ready or not," replies Dr. Birch, “and it looks like she is."

Not breaking eye contact Fluttershy asks, “what about me then, why am I here?"

Dr. Birch laughs, “do you not remember our conversation?" He asks, "I said you were going to die. Of course, since you're the weakest, she'll go easy on you." He nods at Anti-shy who drops the knife and waits impatiently for Dr. Birch to say the word. "I'll be back in a bit, have fun." Dr. Birch tells Anti-shy as he walks through the only exit.

Right when he says those words, Anti-shy flies up into the air, and starts circling Fluttershy like a hawk circling its prey. Anti-shy then advances on Fluttershy with a thirst for blood in her eyes. She strikes down at Fluttershy with her hoof. Fluttershy side steps her attack at the last second. Anti-shy sees this, so she quickly turns and bucks Fluttershy in the face. A sickening crunch echoes throughout the arena; she falls to the ground and starts whimpering. Fluttershy tries to get back up, but Anti-shy is already a step ahead of her. The copy jumps onto Fluttershy's back and bites into her wing. Anti-shy twists Fluttershy's wing and pulls it towards her snapping the bone in half. Fluttershy starts screaming once the pain fully registers. Anti-shy digs her teeth deeper into the wing and pulls up. The sound of tearing flesh could hardly be heard over the screaming. She pulls one more time and the wing detaches from its owner. Blood gushes from the freshly made wound; the wing falls on the ground next to the injured pony. Fluttershy slowly turns on to her side only to get a hoof forcefully rammed into her gut. This makes her vomit a mixture of blood and stomach acid. Anti-shy swings again, but is stopped by Dr. Birch.

"It's time to go," he tells her.

Anti-shy looks at Dr. Birch," I was starting to have fun," she complains.

He lets go of Anti-shy's hoof, "I bet you were," Dr. Birch states, "but if we don't go now we'll miss our train to Ponyville."

Anti-shy nods, but looks at Fluttershy, "what do we do with her?" she asks.

"Just let her bleed out, nopony's out here, so she has no chance of surviving," he exclaims as he walks through the exit. Anti-shy fallows him out the door; they were gone, leaving the Pegasus to die.

'So this is how it ends for me' Fluttershy sadly thinks. She closes her eyes; the last thing seen being a blurred outline of a pony.
