Fillydelphia Freedom 2: Furry Fury

The group took cover behind Kris' cab as Kerfuffle waited for a good shot. "Come on out!" Kerfuffle shouted. "Or I'll start targeting civilians!"

Blossom looked at Aloe. "Go out the long way and try to get behind her. Tia? If she gets distracted enough, run out and grab her."

Aloe flew off as Tiaplate crossed her arms. "Run out and grab her? Seriously? I didn't travel across space to get fried by magic."

"I said if she gets distracted enough. I don't want you getting hurt, either."

"What if I turned into her?" Bubbles asked. "I could confuse her."

"I think she'd know who the real one is. Besides, we could attack you by accident."

"How? She's got the staff."

"Blossom's right," Copper said with a sigh. "Too risky. We're gonna have to just charge at her. She can't hit all of us."

Kerfuffle waited as her staff crackled and sparked with magic. "Since you love countdown clocks so much, how about I count down until I start killing civilians?! Five!"

"Shit," Kris muttered. "She's not waiting anymore."

Elza looked up at the mare before she looked at the griffin standing beside her. The griffin gave her a smile and pulled her close. "Awake?" She asked. "Just in time for the show."

The hyena gasped and looked at the staff. "That was inside me?"

"Sure was."

Kerfuffle twirled the staff. "Four!"

Elza went to move forward, but Shroud pulled her back. She realized she was still too weak to fight. The griffin pulled her close to her and reached up with her left hand to hold the hyena by the shoulder. Her right hand went down to rub her crotch.

"Behave," Shroud cooed into her ear. "Afterwards, we can play together."

"Three!" Kerfuffle shouted, slamming the bottom of the staff against the pavement.

Blossom sighed and peeked out. "I'm going for it."

"Are you fucking insane?!" Kris exclaimed. "She'll fry you!"

"No choice."

Copper nodded and got next to the white mare. "I'm with you, Blossom."

Kris stared at them, shocked. "Well... I guess I'm with you, too."

Bubbles smiled and got behind Copper. "I can help shield you, but I'm not sure how strong her hyena magic is compared to my changeling magic.

"Two!" Kerfuffle yelled, gripping her staff tightly as a smirk spread across her face.

Elza could feel some of her strength coming back and growled, before she tilted her head forward and bit down on the griffin's arm. Shroud exclaimed in pain and pulled away as Elza dove forward.

"One!" Kerfuffle yelled as Blossom and friends ran out from behind their cover.

Kerfuffle raised the staff to fire when Elza tackled her to the ground, the magic attack striking the hijacked truck's cab. It exploded in a fireball as Bubbles skidded to a stop and looked back.

"Dammit," she muttered, running back to check on Luster, Lymee, and Strawberry.

Shroud pulled out a gun and fired, making Copper and Blossom scatter as Kris ducked. Kerfuffle growled and pulled her right arm free before she elbowed the hyena in the face. Elza pulled back and held her face as Kerfuffle kicked her hard with her metal leg. Elza fell backwards with a grunt as Shroud fired again. Kris scrambled to her feet and went to take cover behind a parked car.

"Oh," she said, seeing Blossom hiding behind the adjacent parked car. "Hey."

Kerfuffle looked around before she looked down at Elza. "You do realize you're nothin' to me now, yeah? I already got your magic."

Elza growled softly as Blossom peeked out to see what was going on. "What do we do?"

Kris shrugged. "Wait, where's Copper?"

The F.U.F.F. agent had dove into an alley and had her back pressed against the brick wall. She pulled out her gun and checked the ammo. She peeked out to see her former boss circling the hyena, her hand clenching her gun.

Kerfuffle twirled the staff in her hands before she pressed the tip to the underside of Elza's chin. "I can't decide if I should kill you or give you to Shroud."

The griffin walked over to them, gun still in hand. "I'll gladly take her."

"Oh, I'm sure you would," Kerfuffle cooed.

Blossom glanced across the street to see Copper. She then looked at Kris, realizing she just had to go for it. "Fuck it," she said, before she stood up and stepped out from behind the car.

"Blossom, what the fuck?!" Kris exclaimed.

"What else can we do?" Blossom asked as she began to walk forward.

Kerfuffle spotted her immediately as Shroud raised her gun. "No," the pony ordered. "Keep an eye out for the others. I can deal with this one."

"Why?" Blossom asked as Shroud began to scan the environment with her predatory eyes. "Why do this? What do you get out of this?"

"Have you heard about those gang wars over in Ponytropolis?" Kerfuffle asked with a smirk. "I figured... what if I took over this city? I spent all those years protecting it. And for what?! Now, I have the magic. I have the power! No one can stop me!"

"You're right," Blossom said as she crossed her arms. "Although... there are those in Ponytropolis who can stop you."

"So?"

"What if they decide to branch out? Save other cities from psychos like you. What will you do then?"

"I'd have a much better fight than whatever the hell this is."

"What could I possibly do? I have no magic."

"Exactly! So... Wait..."

"Look out below!" Lymee shouted before she fell on Kerfuffle, her gooey body covering the pony from neck to toe.

"What?!" Kerfuffle grunted as she tried to move her arm, but couldn't.

Shroud aimed her gun and looked up to see Bubbles hovering above them. When the griffin aimed upwards, Blossom lunged at her and punched her in the head, knocking her out. The griffin collapsed, unconscious. Blossom shook her hand as if doing so would make the pain go away.

Copper stepped out from the alley and walked over to the cyan mare. "Well, this isn't how I saw this ending, but..." she then reached out to grab the staff.

Kerfuffle growled and tightened her grip before she yelled and created a magical explosion. Lymee became liquid and splattered against the nearby building as Blossom and Copper were knocked back.

"Enough of this shit!" Kerfuffle yelled, her eyes glowing as the staff sparked. "You didn't think I'd get this magic to not use it, right?!"

She raised the staff and aimed it at the sky. Thunder boomed as clouds rolled in, blocking out the sun. Lightning struck a nearby street light, shattering the bulb. Blossom propped herself up on her arm and looked up as Kris stood up. Copper looked over at Lymee as the slime girl began to reform. Bubbles landed by the trucks as Strawberry, still holding her bleeding arm, Tiaplate, Luster, and Aloe all looked up at the sky.

"Is this it?" Luster asked.

"Bummer, man," Aloe said as she landed on Luster's head in a kneeling position. She leaned forward to rest on the horn, which slid in between her breasts. "So close, too, ya know?"

"It's not over," Bubbles said as she looked at Kerfuffle. "It's just harder."
