Chaos For A Day

Fluttershy gasped in shock.

"Sweet Celestia, there's something on your face!" the pegasus exclaimed as she delivered a hoof slap to Bon-Bon's cheek. "It is pain!"

Fluttershy flew away, giggling as she left the dazed mare on the ground.

"Ha, these losers are so easy to get owned. What should I do next? Perhaps dumping a pail of dirty slops onto somepony's face? No, I did that to Equestria's number one egghead. What about "accidentally" breaking somepony's belongings? Nay, a weirdo's lyre had suffered enough. Letting out my good little Angel and his bunny army into Dweeb Apple Acres would be nice, but those gluttons had waaaaay too much carrots on the other farm. Urgh, oh where, oh where can I find a more satisfactory target? Ponyville is simply too small for anyone worthy of my victimisa-EEEP!"

The yellow pegasus dodged just in time higher up into the air before a wave of ballet buffaloes came stampeding by, their horns missing her by an inch.

"Oh you stupid cows, dare to mess with Fluttershy huh? Think that I'm not assertive enough? I'll show you! " Fluttershy threatened through her gritted teeth, clapping her hooves together.

"Bison? Bye son."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"All right my little ponies, it's lesson time!" Cherilee sang.

The whole class groaned. Why should there still be school when Discord was rampaging out there?

"And now it's over," deadpanned the schoolteacher as she took a swig of hard cider and slammed the mug onto Diamond Tiara's table. "ring ring ring, heard the bell? Now off you go, little chaps."

The class cheered and emptied the classroom in a flash, leaving several overturned tables and flying worksheets. Meh, who needs homework when you can just go out and play?

Cherilee left as well, now gulping down a bottle of appletini. The school was rather quiet as all the colts and fillies had gone, but she swore that she heard something which happened to sound like "cutie mark crusaders harbingers of doom yay!"

The mare ignored it. Who cares about some little fillies playing some foalish games? Not Cherilee.

As she continued on her way home, she reached the town plaza and saw a sight to behold. A yellow pegasus, normally known for her timidity and shyness, was annihilating a whole platoon of brawny bisons in tu-tu. The heap of battle-scarred, blacked out bulls gradually increased in size under the fury of Fluttershy’s martial arts.

Left hook, right hook, spinning kick, grab, choke, overhead toss, tail whip, the lot. With one final uppercut, the last buffalo was launched into the air and landed on the tip of the pile of his defeated comrades. Fluttershy sneered and turned around, as if nothing had happened. Yes, nopony messes with Fluttershy and gets away with it. Those bovine idiots are the perfect example.

“What are you looking at?” Fluttershy questioned when she realised Cherilee was staring at her. “What? Cat got your tongue? Too afraid of me to talk? Well, you should be.”

Cherilee was a little taken aback by her sudden change in target, but she quickly came back to her senses, “Ha, afraid? Nopony is afraid of an animal-kissing tree-hugger like you. Who do you think you are?”

“And who do you think you are? Why don't you just go back to your kindergarten, show your foals some tender loving care and change their diapers. I bet they are crying their heads off ’cause their irresponsible so-called teacher is out here all drunk and woozy.”

“Hey, I'm not drunk. And by the way, the applejack I’m having now is goooooooooooood!”

“Ooh, how romantic. Please accept my hearty congratulation for this... one of a kind relationship.”

“Shut up, I meant my drink, dunce. And you, what about your one-of-a-kind absorption into overprotecting your puny pets? I bet you’ll put a bird nest on your head to teach your pampered eggs what it feels like to be on a tree. Oops, I forgot that you've already did. Totally French haute couture.”

Cherilee really had messed with Fluttershy’s fuse. Steam billowed out of the yellow mare’s ears as she menacingly retorted, “I would sew up your bickering mouth with a traditional blanket stitch, but I guess yours need a satin stitch to keep it shut!"

“Oh my Celestia! I’m so scared that I have Fluttershys in my stomach... but I won't mind another.” The purple mare licked her lips.

Fluttershy had enough. She roared as she charged towards Cherilee, leaped with hooves out front, pinning the earth pony to the ground. Cherilee retaliated with a buck to the pegasus’ stomach and threw the assailant off, got back on her hooves as fast as possible and pounced onto Fluttershy. Soon, a wild cat-fight commenced, and lasted for an entire Discordian night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun rose, and so did the two mares, huffing and puffing as they got up.

“Well played, pegasus,” Cherilee wheezed, “but that's only... because I am not ready. I’m sure I can... finish you off easily by the time... I got prepared. In fact, so easy that even my students can beat you up, feeble flyer.”

“Oh yeah?” Fluttershy snapped, “And I’m sure that my ’puny’... ’overprotected’ animals can defeat you... in a blink of an eye. You and your foals... are NO MATCH for my bunny army!”

“So... it’s war?”

“It is.”

“An hour later, same location. Try your best not to to flee in fear.”

“It is you who shall flee in fear by the time I pulverised your namby-pamby foalish army.”

The two mares turned and walked away from each other with a humph, but smirking as they think of how the other would have been like after the battle ahead has ended.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Critter Battalion, action stations! General Fluttershy here demands your wit and guts to fight to the death against our foe, Captain Cherilee. It’s a red alert situation!” Fluttershy yelled as soon as she returned to her tree-house headquarters.

“Major Angel, you lead Long-legged Lagomorpha Company and act as the vanguard. Lieutenant Squirrely, provide air support with your Flying Rodent Squad, while you, my favourite,” the pegasus turned towards a sleek, distinguished raptor with flaming feathers of grey, “Colonel Philomena, I believe you can take out at least half of our enemy forces with your fiery Kamikaze bombardment, all by yourself.”

Fluttershy winked while the bird gave a squawk of honour.

“Good, the rest of you shall follow me and fight by my side. Mama’s proud of all of you. Now off we go to the plaza, [size=20and unleash our inner beast upon that babysitter!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Cherilee is busily gathering her own forces of destruction.

“Tiara-obsessed foal, get out of your filthy rich mansion and bring your silver minion along!” “Snips and snails, you two come with me! No questions!” “Featherweight? Now, where have that little guy been?" "Alula..." "Archer..." "Cyan Skies..." "Cotton Cloudy..." "Out out out! All the colts and fillies!"

“Now where’re those three fillies of terror when I need them? We could use their doomsday devise to our advantage.”

Cherilee was about to keep looking for the fillies when she absent-mindedly glanced towards the clock. She cursed and quickly began her short but powerful lecture.

“Atteeeeeeeeennn-SHUN!” The colts and fillies stood straight with one simultaneous thud.

“It’s about time, kids. We shall have our vengeance soon, but don't ask about what it is, it’s none of your business. Just listen. Our tactic is to travel to the town plaza via the soap roads and get there before the enemy. Don’t ask who our enemy is, it’s none of your concern too. Then, we wait for those turtles to show up. Is that clear? Good, ’cause you shall have great honour fighting alongside your leader and mentor. We’ll teach that zookeeper a lesson she’ll never forget! Cherilee’s Youths shall triumph!”

“All hail Cherilee!” the class saluted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“At the plaza, at the plaza, where a holocaust shall be! We’ll wipe out all non-ponies with the wrath of Cherilee!” the purple mare sang, her Youths sliding on the road right behind.

“Oh, lookie here. What an adorable nursery rhyme,” said a yellow pegasus as Cherilee’s Youth reached the plaza.

“What?! How did you get here so fast?”

“We flew...” Fluttershy teased with her out-stretched wings. “And oh, here comes my foot soldiers. Talk about vanguard being the back-up instead. But forget that, as now we shall fight, slowpoke!”

“With pleasure, feather-brain.”

Cherilee made the first move as she pointed her hoof towards her adversary and ordered, “I choose you, Diamond Tiara. Now use Taunt!”

The pink tiara-wielding filly stepped out, one hoof in front of another. She opened her mouth and insulted the enemy leader with all her might, “What ’cha doing, BLANK FLANK?”

Cherilee facehoofed.

“What in the whole wide world of Equestria was that?” Fluttershy mocked with a chuckle, “Are you blind, my little foal? I’m NOT a blank flank and my Grandma can taunt better than you, and she’s not even alive!”

“Diamond Tiara!” barked Cherilee, “Try another!”

“Wanna go to my cute-ceañera party, BLANK FLANK?”

The purple mare facehoofed again. “Stop using the term ’blank flank’, you dunderhead!”

“Erm,” the filly became unsure, but then her eyes lit up just as fast, “Hey look, I have a cutie mark. You jealous?”

A noticeable dent appeared on Cherilee’s nose. She pulled her face down as she groaned in frustration. Fluttershy simply snickered.

“That’s all you and your foals can do? Well, it’s my turn now. Aerial assault, Lieutenant Squirrely!”

With a command, the squirrel and its highly-trained rodent pilots whizzed through the air and towards the enemy. Some crashed directly into the face of the opponent, knocking both of them unconscious due to heavy impact. Cherilee dodged skilfully as one zipped past her ear. The rodents who flew past the ponies pulled up, did an U-turn and were back. However, their targets were ready.

As the rodents dived, Cherilee’s Youths ducked. Squirrely and its men missed them completely while heading straight towards Fluttershy.

“Argh, friendly fir-” choked the pegasus. She spitted Lieutenant Squirrely out of her mouth and added, “You’re sooooooooo demoted. You’re now officially Simpleton Squirrely!”

“How’s that for a taste of your own medicine, dimwit?” said Cherilee.

“But at least I do not have to visit the hospital like you’re going be. Major Angel, full frontal attack!”

“Take no prisoners, my little ponies. Charge!”

The two teams merged into one huge cloud of dust. This is chaos at its finest, just the way a particular draconnequis likes it. The two forces fought with all they have, as they knew that there was only going to be one winner.

Fluttershy’s army seemed to take on an edge as they cornered Cherilee’s remaining forces.

“Now to finish this once and for all!” bellowed the pegasus. “PHILOMENA!”

The Discorded phoenix who was once perched on Fluttershy’s shoulder took to the sky. The bird reached a certain height and dived straight down, aiming towards the purple mare. Some of her Youths covered their eyes, while others stared in disbelief as they waited to meet their untimely demise. Cherilee, however, was unfazed.

“You know what to do,” she whispered to a filly with candy canes as a cutie mark nearby. The filly nodded and faced her rump towards the sky. Next, she swung her tail at full force.

The winds grew stronger, and soon it was a spinning column of red and white. Cherilee was pleased. Her mane and tail were frazzled by the tempest. She felt young again, just like when she was a teenager, when everypony had the same radical mane-style.

“Twist has evolved into Twister! Embrace the power of her posterior!”

Philomena, despite the speedy descent, was thrusted out of its course of flight and catapulted into the sky, creating a perfect trajectory of grey, right into Canterlot Palace.

Now it’s Fluttershy’s turn to panic, pushing her long pink mane away from her eyes, “How’s that even possible?! I’m not expecting this change of events.”

“That’s exactly what it does,” said Cherilee, “for you are now facing a plot-Twist! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!”

The purple mare laughed some more as the pegasus’ wings caught the draft and was propelled into the air, hurling towards the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy did one final threaten as she turned into a tiny dot and vanished.

“I’LL BE BACK!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fluttershy crashed through her window. She had returned, but beaten and humiliated. How can a bunch of foals be able to defeat her legendary Critter Battalion?

“I shall never give up,” Fluttershy spoke as soon as she found the strength to do so. “I shall recruit another batch of soldiers. I shall- EEEEP”

The pegasus fell to the ground again, landing on her back. She found herself hogtied, and a particular orange cowpony with an end of the rope in her mouth. She looked up and saw another pony, this time an unicorn, approaching.

Her horn glowed.
