The BatPony

At the food court, the girls were eating their meals when Sunset wondered if the Flutterbat they fought was actually Fluttershy from Equestria.

"You don't think that Flutterbat is actually the Fluttershy from Equestria do you?" Sunset asked. AJ looked a bit skeptical.

"I don't know. It's best to contact Twilight just to be sure."

"Yeah, you're probably right. I just hope she doesn't think I'm loosing it," Sunset said taking out her journal.

"Sunset, A lot of weird things happen in this world and Princess Twilight knows it. This isn't anything new!" Rainbow told her.

Sunset began writing in her journal.

Hey, Twilight. This question is going to sound completely random but is Fluttershy with you? If not I think she might be over here. I don't know how it happened but she somehow turned into a bat-pony hybrid and then started attacking everyone. I know I sound crazy and I don't blame you for thinking I am

Your friend,
Sunset.

"Guess we'll have to wait until she replies," Rarity said. After they were done eating they decided to shop around a bit more. Rarity and Sunset went to a nearby clothing store. In it, they were checking out outfits. Sunset picked out a white jacket with golden patterns on the side.

"Hey, Rarity. How do I look?" she smirked as she tried it on.

"Absolutely stunning! It really fits your style."

Rarity picked out new shoes and a few skirts to wear. After about 15 minutes, they paid for it at the register and left. Once everyone was done shopping, they got back in their car and mapped the address to Aisha's house. While driving, Rarity turned on the talk radio for more updates. As predicted, more bodies were found slaughtered. It was very clear this creature needed to be killed. Once they pulled up to Aisha's house, they parked the car and got out. They went to the front door and rang the doorbell.

"This is a really nice house," Rarity commented.

"Yeah, and look at that Porsche!" Rainbow exclaimed looking at the silver colored vehicle. "I would love to drive one of those!"

A young woman answered the door but it was not Aisha. She had light blonde hair that reached past her shoulders. She wore a dark gray skirt and black shirt.

"Oh, you must be who Aisha was talking about!" She said cheerfully. "Please come inside!" The girls followed the woman inside and into the living room. "Oh and let me introduce myself. I'm Laila Blossom, but you can just call me Laila.

"Well it's a pleasure meeting you, Laila. I'm Rarity." Rarity said. The rest of the girls introduced themselves respectively,

"Sunset Shimmer."

"Rainbow Dash."

"AppleJack."

"Fluttershy."

"Pinkie Pie."

"Twilight Sparkle."

"It's great to meet you all, now why don't you stay right there while I go get Aisha for you?" Laila said as she left the room. While they waited, Sunset's journal vibrated. She opened her journal to see Twilight's reply.

Hi, Sunset

I saw your message and want to let you know Fluttershy is here with me, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on. It seems like you guys are in danger. I'll try to be over there to help as soon as I can. Something is going on I can just tell.

Your friend,
Twilight

Sunset closed her journal and told her friends about Twilight's reply. "Twilight told me that the Flutterbat who's been attacking us is not the Fluttershy in her world."

"So you're saying that Flutterbat is NOT the Fluttershy from Equestria?" Rainbow asked.

"But how can that be? I can't think of any explanation for this," Rarity wondered.

"Maybe Flutterbat is a super evil doppelganger of Fluttershy!" Pinkie gasped.

"I highly doubt that, Pinkie." AppleJack told her. "But it is strange, nonetheless."

Laila came back with Aisha who smiled at them. "Alright, Aisha. I'll be heading home now. Just send me a text if you need anything." Laila said

"No problem. Have a good night," Aisha said as her friend left. After that she turned her attention to Sunset and her friends. "I'm so glad you're here. Can I get you anything to drink?" The girls politely declined. "Alright then, follow me."

"I'll catch up with you in a bit. Do you know where the bathroom is?" Rainbow asked.

Aisha pointed down the hall. "Down the hall third door to your right."

"Thanks," Rainbow replied.

The rest of the girls followed Aisha where she led them to the basement. At first it was dark and they could not see anything until Aisha turned the light switch on. What they saw made them gasp in shock. It was a full on laboratory with numerous machines and science equipment. All the girl's were surprised, especially Twilight who had a laboratory of her own.

"You have a lab? That's so cool!" Twilight squealed. "And I thought mine was cool!"

"You have one too?" Aisha asked interested.

"Yea but it's nowhere as cool as this hehe." Twilight chuckled slightly.

Aisha walked over to one of the safes and punched in a code. In it was a syringe she took out with a glowing red liquid inside. "This right here is the key to defeating Flutterbat. So I need your help to capture her for me so I can put an end to her terror. Don't worry if you have to fight her. Nothing else will kill her except this."

Rainbow Dashed stepped out of the bathroom and went to go look for her friends when she accidentally bumped into Aisha's son.

"Umph!" Comet exclaimed. "Sorry!"

"Don't worry, kiddo. It was my fault I wasn't watching where I was going." Rainbow said. She noticed he had dropped a keychain and on it was the PostCrush Logo. "Oh! You're a fan of Post Crush?" She smirked.

Comet's face turned red with embarrassment. As much as he didn't want to admit, he had no idea how Rainbow would react. "I umm not...exactly," he stammered.

Rainbow realized her mistake. "Wait I didn't mean it like that! I'm sorry. I just think it's really cool you're a fan." She was hoping Comet would not see her as someone who just made fun of him for liking a pop star duo. She saw he was still uncomfortable so she thought of something to make him feel a bit easier. "If it makes you feel any better, two of of my friends, Sunset and Pinkie are huge fans."

That seemed to get the child's interest. "Wait really? How long have they been a fan?"

"Beats me. Probably when they first heard about them." Rainbow chuckled. "So what song is your favorite?"

"True Original!" Comet said confidently. "I just can't get that out of my head!"

"That song is really cool not going to lie," Rainbow admitted. "I'm not a huge fan myself but I do enjoy listening to them at time to time." She gave him back his keychain. "And I'm also guessing you went to one of their concerts judging by the keychain."

"Mhm. One of my friend's mom took us to see a concert. It was really fun! The best moment in my life even!" But then...my friends and I stopped hanging out."

"Oh...I'm sorry," Rainbow said a bit sad.

"No I mean we're still friends but my mom doesn't let me go out anymore," Comet explained. "To be honest I don't blame her. There is a man eating creature on the loose."

"You could say that." Rainbow said with a slight laugh.

"Also you're name is Rainbow Dash right?"

Rainbow ran her fingers through her hair. "Gee I don't know. A girl with rainbowed hair can't possibly be called 'Rainbow Dash'" she joked.

Comet giggled at her humor. "So it is you! I think you're powers are so cool! Going really fast that is."

"Oh thank you. My powers are pretty cool!" Rainbow said in a cocky tone. "With them, I'm pretty much unstoppable."

"Wow that's awesome! so you're like a superhero!" The child said happily.

Rainbow chuckled and nodded. "I gotta get going now. I gotta admit you're pretty cool, kiddo." she playfully ruffled his hair. She left to go find her friends leaving Comet alone.

After the girls left for the night, they started to head on home. "So basically we need to capture Flutterbat and bring her here so Aisha can put her down." Rainbow said making sure she got the mission right. Her friends nodded.

"Well she could be anywhere, so we better be on a look out," Sunset warned. "Hopefully when Twilight gets here, she can help us with this task."

The girls got in the car and drove back home. Since this was a special mission, they decided they were going to sleep in the same location in case anything happened. They made their way over to Pinkie's place and got out of the car. They started to hear a strange noise coming towards them.

"Hey, Twilight do you hear something coming towards-" Rainbow was interrupted when she felt a pair of hind legs kick her sending her hitting the side of the car. She groaned in pain. Flutterbat screeched and flew straight towards Rainbow but Twilight used her magic to fling the creature away but it was not very strong and only tossed her a few feet. Flutterbat started to ruthlessly attack the girls while making inhuman screeches. At one point she managed to tackle AppleJack to the ground and was preparing to rip her apart but the farm girl used her superstrength to kick her off. She then grabbed her by the tail and threw her making her hit the wall of a nearby house. Flutterbat quickly got back up and flew towards AppleJack. This time being prepared as it dodged the attack and bucked the latter sending her crashing into Rainbow. Rarity threw a diamond projectile at the creature hindering her attack and was about to go for another until she heard Sunset shout

"Rarity behind you!"

The fashionista spun around to see one of the gang members attack her. He knocked her to the ground and got ready to plunge the knife into her chest until he screamed as a diamond shard came out his forehead. Blood splattered all over Rarity much to her horror as he fell over dead. Rainbow Dash helped Rarity to her feet and more gang members showed up. Rainbow went for her first victim and gruesomely sliced him right in the neck followed by a combo to his face. Another tried to attack with a knife but Rainbow sliced his arm off and used her shards to sever his head. Blood splattered all over her clothes but she didn't care. She was about to go for another kill but Flutterbat intervened. Sunset used her gun to shoot the creature in the forehead. Flutterbat screeched in pain but it did not kill her. If anything, this only made her more angry. Her screeching became even louder as she dodged sunset's bullet and lunged forward until a car came flying hitting her. Twilight hurled another car at Flutterbat and this time, it knocked her unconscious. The gang members decided to retreat with Flutterbat now being temporarily unable to fight. They carried the creature to their cars and drove off.

"Holy shit, that creature is insane!" Rainbow gasped. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"We really need to find a way to bring her back to Aisha," Rarity said.

"Yeah but how can we do that if that creature is just going to keep attacking us every second?!" AppleJack asked.

"And then there's the 'Blood Shadows'!" Rainbow said. "I mean we fought bad guys before but not like them. All the others we fought we easily won!"

"Maybe it's because this time we're facing against ACTUAL bad guys this time," Pinkie said. "Not just teenagers with emotional issues."

"I guess your right," Rainbow sighed. They all headed in.
