My Little Pony: Justice is Served

The best way to find Fluttershy would be to ask her friends where they last saw her. Where would they be? They still think that Pinkie Pie is dead so they must be somewhere quiet and reserved. Maybe they’re at the library with Twilight Sparkle.We gallop past Sugar Cube Corner and over to the library. I knock on the door. Spike answers the door.

“Sprinklejinx? You’re supposed to be dead, unless... YOU’RE A GHOST! GET AWAY!” Spike screams. He sprints the the other side of the room and cowers in a corner.

“I’m not a ghost. I’m only pretending to be dead. You can’t let anypony know that I’m still alive yet. Do you understand?” I ask. The purple dragon flinches and presses his back up against the wall. “Do you understand?” I repeat. The baby dragon nods.

“What are you here for? Twilight didn’t kill anypony. Twilight wouldn’t hurt a parasprite.” Spike says nervously.

“We’re not after Twilight. We just need to ask her a few questions.” Thunderwing says.

“It’s a bit of a bad time. She’s been having a rough time since Pinkie Pie died and Rainbow Dash vanished.” Spike says.

“Pinkie’s not dead either. She’s hiding.” Honey Flower says.

“Rainbow Dash is safe with Spitfire.” Thunderwingsays.

“The mares are upstairs.” Spike replies with a grin on his face. We trot up the stairs. I hear quiet sniffling behind the door. I push the door open with my hoof. The three discolored mares cry together on the bed. Twilight Sparkle lays on her bed with her face buried in her pillow sobbing. Applejack sits next to her and strokes her mane, trying to comfort her. Tears roll down her orange freckled face. Rarity levitates used tissures into the garbage can. Her makeup is smeared down her cheeks. For once she didn’t seem to care about how she looks.

“Hello?” Thunderwing asks..

“I want to be alone now.” Twilight says.

“We have good news for you. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are alive.” Honey Flower says. Applejack shakes her head in disbelief. Her cowgirl hat nearly falls off of her head.

“Pinkie Pie was hung. We saw it with our own two eyes.” Applejack says.

“Hanged.” Twilight says correcting Applejack.

“Sprinklejinx loosened the knot of the rope with her magic. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are hiding.

“Really?” Rarity says.

“Yes. I just need to ask you a few questions.” I say.

“About what?” Twilight asks.

“Fluttershy.” I reply. Fluttershy’s friends gasp.

“Fluttershy?” Rarity asks.

“Yes, how has she been behaving?” I ask.

“Paranoid. All she ever talks about is the killer coming to get her.” Twilight says.

“She thinks the whole world’s out to get her” Applejack says.

“When was the last time you saw Fluttershy?” I ask.

“After Snowflake was killed, she took off and said she was going to hide in the Everfree Forest. She told me to come with her. I didn’t go with her because I knew Pinkie Pie was in trouble.” Rarity says.

“She was goin’ so fast that even me and Rainbow Dash couldn’t catch her.” Applejack says,

“Rainbow Dash and I.” Twilight says correcting Applejack once more.

“Thank you.” I say.

“It was nothin’” Applejack says. I trot down the stairs and out the door. What would have happened if Rarity went into the forest with Fluttershy? Would she have killed her? We exit the library at a breakneck pace. We weave through the ponies in the streets. Near the Everfree forest, I spot a figure with a hooded cloak running through the trees. I pick up speed inching closer to Fluttershy’s tail.

“Stop!” I command. “Where are you going?” I grab the cloak with my teeth to try to slow her down. She falls and the cloak falls off her body, launching me into the air. Fluttershy’s body is covered in deep gash marks. Clumps of feathers are missing from her wings and her mane is a frizzy mess. Her body is covered in teeth marks and her coat is stained with blood. She struggles to get back up to her hooves.

“Come with me. Hurry! He’s coming for you!” Fluttershy says wincing in  pain.

“Who?” Honey Flower asks swallowing a lump in his throat.

“B-Brownie!” Fluttershy stutters.

“Brownie the bunny?” I ask.

“No time to explain. Keep moving!” Fluttershy panics.

“Wait a minute... Do you expect me to believe that your little bunny killed everypony?” I ask,

“No. But if you don’t come with me he’ll eat you!” Fluttershy says with her soft shaky voice..

“Eat me? Bunnies don’t eat ponies. They’re herbivores.” Honey Flower says.

“Bunnies aren’t big enough to eat ponies. We’re not afraid of bunnies.” Thunderwing says.

The ground rumbles from underneath my hooves.

“Here he comes!” Fluttershy squeaks. The brown bunny pops out of its tunnel. The bunny was about fifty times my size. I remember back when he barely fit on the bottom of my hoof. The mutant bunny lunges at me with full force. I swing my shovel at his face. The bunny flinches for a moment and rubs his eyes with his paws.  Brownie roars loudly. His breath smells like pony flesh. My heart beats wildly in my chest as I gallop through the trees. The wind blows my mane in my face and the branches hit me as I pass by. That isn't enough to stop me from trying to escape. A cloud of dust forms from beneath my hooves. Everything around me is shaky and blurry. I pant loudly and my body is covered in sweat. My green coat blends in with the environment. Brownie can't see me, but he could smell me.  Honey Flower kicks dirt into Brownie’s face as a distraction. The beast turns around and charges at Honey Flower head on. She screams and ducks behind a tree. Brownie rips the tree out of the ground by the root and throws it into the air like a scroll. Before the monster could bite Honey Flower, Thunderwing flies in Brownie’s ear. That only makes Brownie even more enraged. Brownie thrashes violently and throws himself on the ground. Brownie scratches his ear with his back leg launching Thunderwing into a tree.

“Um, guys! I’m stuck!” Thunderwing says trying to get his wings untangled from the branches.

Honey Flowershakes the tree by the trunk. Leaves fall off of the branches, but Thunderwing is still struggling through the branches.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you down.” Honey Flower says shaking the tree louder. As Honey Flower tries to get Thunderwing out of the trees, Brownie hops behind him.

“Look out!” Honey Flower screams. Brownie pounces in the air with his claws aimed at his chest. Honey FLower gets knocked to the ground. Brownie’s sharp claws pierce his skin and blood pours from his wound. Brownie leans forward and opens his jaws showing his sharp teeth.  Brownie steps on his stomach and comes closer to his face. I kick the bunny in the face with his front hooves.

“OUCH!” Brownie yelps. Did that bunny just talk? How did Fluttershy teach this bunny how to talk?

I sneak behind the bunny and levitate Thunderwing out of the tree. He glares at Fluttershy with his crimson eye. Fluttershy covers her eyes with her wings.

“Stop it, Brownie!” Fluttershy begs.

“You should have fed me the ponies you hated when you had the chance. Now I’m going to find my own meals.” Brownie says plowing through the trees of the Everfree Forest.
