The BatPony

During the night, the girls had trouble sleeping mainly due to the fact that Flutterbat was still on the loose. At about 4 in the morning, Fluttershy went downstairs to get a drink of water. The cold surface of the floor made her shiver a little as she walked downstairs. In the fridge was a few unopened bottles along with dozens of whipped cream. This made her a bit confused but she didn't think about it too much. She took the bottle and quietly drank from it. After closing the lid she turned around to go back upstairs and almost had a heart attack. There, standing outside the window was Flutterbat. Fluttershy was too afraid to move. The creature was right outside her window. Staring at the girl. Fluttershy knew Flutterbat could easily break down the window. She waited...and waited but the expected never happen. Flutterbat quickly turned around, letting her mane flow. She flew off leaving Fluttershy confused. Why didn't the creature attack? She had the perfect opportunity. The timid girl went back upstairs and got back in her sleeping bag. For the rest of the night, the girls slept peacefully until morning rose.

"Good morning, everyone!" Pinkie suddenly yelled causing the girls to wake up. They all groaned.

"Well at least it was Pinkie's yelling we woke up to and not that awful shriek from last night," Twilight said still somewhat asleep.

After the girls got ready, they all discussed how they were going to capture Flutterbat and bring her to Aisha. All of them had different ideas.

"I say we lure her using sweet treats, then we capture her!" Pinkie suggested.

"How about I trap her in a crystal sphere so we can bring her back?" Rarity asked.

"I can use my lasso..." AppleJack said.

"Um guys, those seem like great ideas, but we have to keep in mind she's probably not going to be alone so they might not be the best." Sunset told them. Everyone immediately knew what she was talking about.

"Oh them? There just a bunch of pushovers!" Rainbow scoffed. "I can easily wipe them out! You saw how I sliced one of their heads clean off right?"

"Oh yeah...It was pretty graphic," AppleJack muttered.

Sunset was about to say something when her journal buzzed. She took a look at the message. "Princess Twilight is going to come here any minute now."

"Oh good! I know she'll be able to help us," Rarity said.

After the girls got ready they got in the car and drove to the Canterlot High statue where they would meet Princess Twilight.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, the portal glowed and out stepped Princess Twilight. Everyone was obviously happy to see her. They enveloped her in a group hug.

"Oooh I'm so happy you're here!" Pinkie said excitedly. "Did you hear about the blood thirsty monster on the loose?!"

"Pinkie, that's the whole reason she's here," Sunset chuckled.

"How you been, sugarcube?" AppleJack asked.

Princess Twilight smiled at them. "It's great to see you all again and I'm doing good thank you." She noticed her human counterpart and smiled at her. The human Twilight returned the smile.

"If it helps avoiding any confusion, I'm fine with going by 'Sci-Twi' if that's okay," Twilight's human counterpart said. The girls all agreed on it.

"Alright then, I'll go by Twilight," Princess Twilight said.

"How about we grab a bite over at the Sweet Shoppe, and we can discuss what's been going on?" Rarity suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea, Rarity. I am kind of hungry," Twilight said. They all went in the car and drove over to Sweet Shoppe. While on the ride, AppleJack turned on the radio and one of Post Crush's song was playing which was True Original. Hearing this made Rainbow Dash remember that Comet was also a huge fan.

"Hey that song reminds me that Aisha's son is a huge fan." Rainbow said.

"Wait really?!" Pinkie said with excitement.

"He likes Post Crush?" Sunset said with interest.

"Oh yeah, he told me he was a huge fan. I actually thought that was pretty cool," Rainbow said. "At first, he seemed really shy about it so I told them you and Pinkie were fans to help him feel better."

Sunset smiled as they pulled over at Sweet Shoppe. They went inside and ordered their foods. While they waited, they told Twilight everything that had happened. Even though she already got the picture she felt she needed to hear what happened again.

"So based on what you're telling me, there's this creature that looks a lot like Fluttershy but is a hybrid between a pegasus and bat?" Princess Twilight asked. Her friends nodded.

"Hey, Twilight, didn't you mention earlier you also dealt with another Flutterbat creature?" Sunset asked as she remembered what Twilight had mentioned earlier in her message.

"Yeah, I dealt with another Flutterbat," Twilight laughed a little. "But the one I dealt with didn't seem to be as..." She paused for a moment trying to find the right word. "Aggressive."

"That's putting it mildly, darling," Rarity told Twilight. "The one we're dealing with is a savage blood thirsty creature."

"That's...pretty disturbing," Twilight shuddered. "I mean the one from my world was aggressive too but it mainly went after apples. You're saying the one here attacks humans?

The girls nodded. "About like 40 people had already been killed," AJ said with a serious tone. "And it's not a pretty sight either."

"I umm actually saw her last night while you guys were asleep," Fluttershy spoke up. All the girls turned to look at her.

"What?! You mean you saw her?! Did she try to attack you?!" Rainbow asked with shock and worry.

"No, actually. That's the confusing part. She was outside and just...flew away."

"So you're saying that Flutterbat legit saw you and just flew away not even attacking?" Sunset asked. Fluttershy nodded. She was very confused and so were her friends.

"Maybe it's because you look like her so she decided you were on her side?" Pinkie suggested.

"I mean that's the only possible explanation," Rainbow said. "But that's the least of our concerns. We're still trying to figure out how she got here."

"Oooh maybe someone breeded a bat and a pony together!" Pinkie said.

"Pinkie, I don't think that's genetically possible," Sci-Twi told her. "And even if it was there's two things wrong with that theory. One, Flutterbat has wings so the chance of a bat and pony having an offspring with wings is impossible. Two, it wouldn't explain why she's so hell bent on tearing our flesh apart."

"Sci-Twi does have a point, Pinkie." AppleJack said. "Especially the last part, no creature is born that way."

"Hey, AppleJack going back to when you said Flutterbat's killings were not a pretty sight, did you mean like gruesome?" Twilight asked.

AppleJack nodded. "Mhm. Very gruesome indeed." Just saying it made her shudder at the thought of the corpses.

"Just like how Rainbow sliced someone's face!" Pinkie suddenly said.

"WHAT?!" Twilight asked clearly shocked.

"Another thing is that Flutterbat isn't alone. There's this group she's always with who they call themselves the 'Blood Shadows'." Sunset quickly explained.

"I only did it to defend myself and my friends," Rainbow said. "I don't know where they came from but I think it's safe to assume they are not from your world. They were from over here it seems."

"They've done nothing but spread terror across town," Rarity said. The girls continued to talk for a little while more until their order arrived and ate.

Somewhere in a rural part of town, stood quite a few safe houses. All of them were occupied by the members of the Blood Shadows including their leader. Who was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette. Ande saw one of his members come up to him.

"Sir, what should we do about those girls?" he asked. Ande only chuckled as he took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Don't worry about them. Sure they may have super powers but I doubt they can handle Flutterbat. After all I did tell her to take it easy a bit. If they piss me off however, I might just tell her to go full ape shit on them." He continued to laugh some more as he put out as he put his cigar back in his mouth.
