Author: Alright lemme start this time with a based episode. This is suggested by "Greninja32," the idea aswell is pretty interesting too. I've been awhile, or away from updating this story. I am still on my resting way, plus I can't seemingly find the good mood to continue or make the story. Anyways, in this part, I also took awhile to think of the events will happen and of course it won't be exactly 100% the same since there are 3 new characters in the show, but also the dialogues will be originally made by me and took some words from the show itself. That's all and lets go on with the story :D
Season 4 Episode 7: Bats!
Chapter 10: A Flutter Bat Encounter
Shadow and Applejack were waiting for the sunrise. Shadow was standing with his eyes closed meaning that he is asleep, and as for Applejack, she is looking and staring through the fields of Apple trees while waiting the sunrise.
"Any minute now..." She said as she like ready's herself in a running position.
The words made Shadow opened his eyes and blinked, he then looked at the sunrising and then at Applejack who is ready to run at the fields.
"Hmph. Let's just get this over with." Shadow said as he did his stretching and prepares to run along through the orchards.
The sunlight hits the field as it glowed pretty bright. The field was enlighten with the sun as Applejack excitedly run straight to the apple tree.
"Yeeeehaww! It's officially Apple Bucking Day!" She said while running through the fields.
Shadow sighed and just skated his way following Applejack. Although he still remember the days Applejack was... off. Especially when he reached back to the barn. Shadow was thinking the situation Applejack was on. He knew that she doesn't feel good nor great at the time he went back to her barn. He wanted to ask about it, but the problem is, he is not good at that kind of stuffs. Until few days past that Applejack became excited in this day, it seems he knew that she used this opportunity to remove her sadness that Shadow doesn't know yet.
As they reached the fields, Applejack and Shadow where looking at the fine and good condition apple trees.
"Look at all these apples Shadow. Ripe and juicy, perfect for buckin'!" She exclaimed with a smile.
"I could totally see that Applejack, let's get this done and make haste on tasks to get the chaos emeralds." Shadow notify her and she find an apple tree to deal with.
Shadow then went on to the other tree that he desires to 'buck.' He used his training skills of 'bucking' by clenching his hands and hitting the apple tree with a balance impact but stronger effect as the apple fell on to the ground, it turned into some sort of mush. This then Shadow noticed and as he looked up that more of those apples hit his face. This made his temper to go on berserk, but he tried to contain this anger within. From a distance, Shadow heard that Applejack was surprised by this.
"What the heck is going on?" Applejack said as she walked closer to Shadow who is standing still trying to get that anger in control, "Shadow? You okay?"
As soon Shadow slowly looked at Applejack, his face is covered in apple mushes and this made Applejack almost laugh, but she knew that Shadow is really mad at this point. But then something came up to Applejack as she looked above of the tree.
Applejack gasped as soon she saw something, "Their back!"
Shadow's anger then was contained and his body released a chaos energy and it blowed the mushes away from his face. Though, the exploded apple mushes hits Applejack.
"Who's back?" Shadow said while wiping the leftovers in his body and as soon he looked at Applejack, her eyes were closed and slowly opened and seeing her covered in some of the apple mush. "Sorry about that AJ. Lemme just, use my gloves."
Shadow then wipes off the apple mushes, this made Applejack, a.) nervous b.) embarrassed c.) blushing and d.) remembering the time that Pinkie admits her feelings. While Shadow doing his thing, he heard a sound coming above of the tree. He stopped and understand 'who's' back.
"Wait. Don't tell me that those are..." Shadow stopped and looked at Applejack as she gave him a slight of nod, "Well, if they infested the place. Then I suggest I scare them away."
Shadow then was about to walk away though Applejack's action made her hold on to Shadow's arm. Making him flinched and surprised.
"Hold on Shadow, I think the others need to know the situation." Applejack pleaded, this made Shadow stunned for awhile, and without any word he sighed in defeat.
They went back to the barn and Applejack then requested Shadow to ring the bell to call out the others. Applejack then called out the Mane 5 plus the Sonic, Silver and Spike to come approach the situation.
"Attention! This Sweet Apple Acres Code: Red!" Applejack yells out throughout the field calling her friends.
"Since when did Applejack sets up a color code situation?" Sonic said in his thoughts.
"I need all hands, and claws on deck!" Applejack said as the group stopped and looked worried at her.
"Calm down Applejack." Rarity tried to assure AJ.
"Calm down? How can I calm down in a time like this? Vampire Fruit Bats are attacking Sweet Apple Acres!" Applejack yells out and Sonic and Silver where confused.
"Vampire fruit bats?" Sonic wondered.
Shadow then jumps down from ringing the bell and lands on a bad-ass style, "It's what Applejack told me. It's like a bat the can lurk in the day and sips the juice out of the apples here." He explained making the two understand.
"Right. Never thought that there are different animals around here." Silver said as Fluttershy walked beside him.
"You never seen a Vampire Fruit Bat before, Silver?" Fluttershy asks.
"Oh, well, no actually, we never have that sort of animal. Even the name is unfamiliar, except for the bat." Silver told her about it.
"Well, maybe I could show you more of the animals here in Equestria i-if you don't mind?" She questioned Silver with a slight of hesitation.
Sonic was smirking behind Fluttershy while Shadow was just raising his eyebrow for something like a tease.
"W-What's up with those two?" Silver thought in annoyance and looked at Fluttershy to make an answer, "Su-" Rarity quickly came in to stop the conversation.
"Fluttershy! We need to focus the task on hand. Can't you see that Applejack doesn't want those nasty bats gets near to her giant apple?" Rarity said as Silver, Fluttershy, Sonic and Shadow all looked at the giant apple that Rarity mentioned.
"That is a giant apple." Sonic comments.
"Hm. How interesting." Shadow commented aswell.
"Oh um, maybe I could talk to Applejack about on what to do with those Vampire Fruit Bats." Fluttershy suggested to herself and flew towards Applejack.
As soon Fluttershy flew away, Rarity then asked Silver. "Silver darling, what did Fluttershy asked for you?"
This then made Sonic chuckles and Shadow to look at sky and whistles. This then made Silver caught in annoyance one more time and again answered Rarity's question.
"Oh it's nothing Rarity, she just wants to show me more of the different animals that are here in Equestria." Silver said while Rarity has her fingers in her chin.
"I see. Hm okay. Alright then." Rarity said as she walked back to the girls, "So, you wanna date Silver then Fluttershy? Oh I won't let that happen." Rarity thought with a jealous look on her face.
As soon she get far, Silver then looked at the two who is still like enjoying what is happening.
"Alright, both of you. What is the big idea of the chuckles and teasing faces?" Silver asked the duo who is pretending that they didn't saw what happened with Rarity and Fluttershy.
"Oh Silver, I never thought you're special." Sonic said only making Silver confused.
"What?"
"Yes. It seems that you are indeed attractive." Shadow said making Silver annoyed more.
"Come on guys, spit it out. This isn't funny." Silver said but before Sonic and Shadow said anything.
They saw Fluttershy flying towards to a tree while the Mane 5 follows her.
"Maybe we should join in to gather intel." Sonic suggested as Shadow nodded with him, "Right." Shadow said leaving Silver behind.
"What? Hey guys, you still haven't answered my question." Silver said as he just sighed and followed them.
They all watched Fluttershy get near to a tree with bats hanging on the branches.
Sonic then whispers to Shadow, "Are those the bats that Applejack mentioned?"
"Yes. Those are the ones that sucks up the apples around." Shadow whispered back.
Fluttershy then made an approach, "Um, excuse me, Mr. Vampire Bat?" Although she dodged a sucked up apple that was thrown by the bats and still, FLuttershy continued on with her approach, "We were just just wondering if you wouldn't mind that really big apple alone?" She said in concern.
Though the bats just respond by spitting a barrage of apple seeds at her. She retreated back to her group.
"Well? What'd he say?" Applejack questions her.
"Um... yes." Fluttershy thought of.
"Huh?!" Applejack exclaim.
"But... it could've been a no." Fluttershy thought again.
"Oh." Applejack went back to her angered face.
"This is the first Vampire Fruit Bat I've ever met and, well, it might take some time for me to really understand their language." Fluttershys said though Applejack doesn't seem to care.
"Uh-huh. And the meantime, this pest and his vermin friends are gonna go after my prized apple and, while they're at it, every other apple in the orchard! These vampire bats are nothin' but a bunch of monsters!" Applejack yelled out making Fluttershy surprised.
"Monsters?! Oh, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Fluttershy wondered.
"No, I do not." Applejack replied and then music kicks in.
"Uh, shouldn't we be part of the song that is going to play?" Silver wondered.
"What are you talking about?" Sonic looked at Silver in confusion.
"Don't be like Pinkie, Silver. She's the only one who breaks 4th walls." Shadow said.
"Oh, sorry. I just wanna sing ya know?" Silver said.
"Don't care. Let's just end this song. It's getting long now." Shadow suggested.
They watched and listened to the song. Sonic was yawning and Silver was interested while Shadow didn't care. After the song is finished, the boys looked at Fluttershy who is seemingly frighten. Silver made a move to help out his friend by giving her a hand, but before he could closer, he was levitated away from Fluttershy. "Hey! What gives? Woah!" Rarity then decides to help her out instead.
Fluttershy opened her eyes seeing that Rarity is the one giving her a hand to get up, "I'm sorry, Fluttershy, but I believe Applejack has made the better argument. These vampire fruit bats sound downright dreadful." Rarity said while the other girls minus Applejack, known the jealousy from Rarity, giggled and smile.
"So let's get to roundin' them up so they don't destroy the rest of my orchard." Applejack said as Shadow nods and followed her with Pinkie behind him.
"Fruit bat round-up, fruit bat round-up!" Pinkie said in a tune.
"Um, excuse me, but, um, what if instead of rounding them up, we... let them have part of the orchard?" Fluttershy suggested though Applejack made a sound of whinny stopping the group from continuing.
"Have you lost your pest-lovin' mind?!" Applejack shouted.
"Easy, Applejack, maybe Fluttershy just had an idea on what to do." Silver tried to calm her.
"Yeah, sure." Applejack's reply has a bit of salty in it.
"They're only here because they're hungry! If we build a sanctuary for them, they could have their own apples to enjoy! After a while, they could even help the rest of your orchard! The vampire bats don't eat the seeds of the apples, and when they spit them out, they grow into even more productive apple trees!" Fluttershy explains and ends up pointing to a bigger side apple tree with Silver nodded in that plan.
"Listen, Fluttershy. That sounds real nice 'n' all, but every second we spend buildin' this so-called 'sanctuary' is a second they'll spend destroyin' orchards! You don't know what it was like the last time there was an infestation, but Granny Smith has told me enough stories about it that just the thought of it gives me nightmares!" Applejack explained and then a vision of the past showed, "Granny says we lost a huge section of orchard that year. They had to ration out apples all winter!"
"What about the cider? There was still cider, right?" Rainbow wondered.
"Not. A. Drop" Applejack replied.
"No cider?! No cider?! We need to round up these monsters, and we need to do it now!" Rainbow said in a hurry.
"Seems she likes cider huh." Sonic said while looking at her.
"How... weak." Shadow muttered.
"If Granny Smith wasn't with Apple Bloom an' Big Mac checkin' out our produce competition in Appleloosa, she'd be here tellin' us to do just that!" Applejack said pointing out at Rainbow.
Silver then whispers to Shadow, "Whose Granny Smith, Apple Bloom, and Big Mac, Shadow?"
"Their are her family." Shadow whispered back.
"You met them?" Silver asked.
"I slept here for weeks Silver. What'd you expect." Shadow whispered in annoyed tone.
Twilight then decides to assure Fluttershy, "I'm sorry, Fluttershy, but I think Applejack is right. I just wish there was another way we could convince them not to eat them in the first place. Maybe there is..."
The gang walked back to Twilight's home to look for the spell that Twilight needed. It took some time for Twilight to find the right spell though it seems that there is a slight of trouble.
"So, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I found a spell that can get the vampire fruit bats to stop wanting to suck the juice from the apples." Twilight continued as she walked to Fluttershy, "But in order for the spell to work, I need the bats' full and complete attention."
Fluttershy's eyes widen as she knew what Twilight meant, "Oh no."
"Fluttershy, I need you to do your Stare on the bats." Twilight said and this made the trio hedgehogs to get confused.
"Stare?" Sonic thought.
"It's Fluttershy's ability to make any animal behave or have full attention." Rarity explained to Sonic as Silver and Shadow nodded in understanding.
"Oh, gosh, I don't know." Fluttershy looks down seemingly she doesn't want to do it.
Rainbow then swoops in to asked Fluttershy, "What's the problem? You've used the Stare plenty of times before."
"Yes, but it's not something I take lightly. I've made a vow not to use it except in dire circumstances." Fluttershy said while she walked pass Rainbow.
"This circumstance is plenty dire to me." Applejack said.
"Me too! Think of the cider! Won't someone please think of the cider?!" Rainbow kneeled down and act all dramatic about it.
"And here I thought that Rarity is the one who is good at acting." Sonic thought.
"Ehem, I'm right here you know." Rarity said while she crossed her arms and look away.
"I'm sorry. I just don't like the idea of taking away the thing that really makes the vampire fruit bats *inhales* vampire fruit bats! It just feels wrong!" Fluttershy yelled out.
"But if we don't do this, there won't be any apples left for anypony here in Ponyville. Doesn't that feel wrong, too?" Twilight mentioned making Fluttershy have a no choice.
They once again walked back to the Sweet Apple Acres. While their heading there, Silver noticed that Fluttershy is looking down, knowing she doesn't want to do this and in addition her friends saying. Silver then walked beside her and decides to make her feel better atleast.
"Hey, you okay Fluttershy?" Silver started.
"Oh, I'm not sure. I don't really want to do this." Fluttershy said in a sad tone.
"Don't be like that Fluttershy, listen, I know that you don't want to do this. But, once we made all of them gone. We could start working on the sanctuary that you were talking about." Silver said as Fluttershy then looked up to him.
"You really want that idea?" Fluttershy wondered.
"Of course. I do have the same feeling that we shouldn't remove of what mades them." Silver said with a smile making Fluttershy smile too.
While they're having a conversation. Rarity was listening through their talk and she holds on to her chest and felt jealousy. Not to mention, she did she a single tear hearing that Silver is with her and the idea. They arrived at the barn, though Fluttershy is still unsure on what she is about to do.
"So what's it gonna be, Fluttershy? Will you do your Stare on the bats or not?" Applejack asked.
"Um... um..." Fluttershy couldn't decided and she looked down, she then slightly raise it seeing Silver nodded makes her smile and decided. "I'll do it."
"Good choice. I knew you wouldn't side with those icky bats!" Rarity yelled out.
"They're not icky." Fluttershy muttered.
"First round of cider's on me!" Rainbow exclaimed as she flew and landed on her roof.
"Not so fast there Rainbow." Sonic said stopping her excitement.
"Sonic's right. We've gotta round up these beasts with wings first. Time's a-wastin'!" Applejack finishes what Sonic meant.
The gang then nodded on what to do. Sonic then walks up to Rainbow to make a challenge for a faster clean up.
"Hey Rainbow." Sonic said catching Rainbow's attention.
"Hm? Oh, hey Sonic." She replied with a slight of blush and a smile.
"Want a race?" Sonic asks.
"You mean a race whoever catches a lot of bats? You're so on." Rainbow replied.
"Alright, this would be a challenge now. I won't lose." Sonic said with a determined look.
"Let's just see about that." Rainbow said.
In the distance, Twilight was hiding her self from reading the spell she needs to use, but by looking at the speed duo, it made her again feel the jealousy that she hasn't think of yet. Though she let that aside and focus on what is actually needed. Applejack wraps a towel on Pinkie's head making it look like a fruit hat but the fruit hat is full of apples. As soon she is done, Pinkie gladly bounces and the bats then started to follow her. Rarity walks up to a tree while wearing some sort of toxic suit. She also carries a net with her. As soon she got close, she tried to get one by jumping though it hit the branch with an apple and it fall right in her mask.
The mask that got covered in apple juice made the bat land on Rarity which made her disgust and scream, "Wah! AHH! Ew, ew, eww!" She runs off with a dozen more following her.
Silver was walking with Fluttershy back to the area that they need to be group on. Silver was just using his psychokinesis to grab alot. While they're talking, Rarity run by while screaming and followed with more bats.
"Hold on Fluttershy, I need to help Rarity. Rarity hang on! I'm coming!" Silver said leaving Fluttershy alone.
"Oh... okay..." Fluttershy said as she just watched Silver trying to pull the bat away from Rarity's mask.
Sonic and Rainbow Dash are dashing through the trees while grabbing the bats. As soon they couldn't hold much, Rainbow decides to perform a rainbow tornado to hold much more.
"Heh, show off." Sonic comments while watching Rainbow just carry the bats with her tornado.
They all grouped the bats and it seems that some are still missing, Rainbow and Sonic returned with the bats they hold.
"Looks like I win." Rainbow proclaim.
"You use your tornado, that's unfair." Sonic said.
"But, why didn't you used your magic in the first place?" Rainbow wondered making Sonic realize it just now about it.
"Oh yeah. Well, I guess you wi-" Sonic stopped finishing his sentence as he saw that Silver is levitating a load of bats.
"Guys, guys, if this is a competition I wouldn't brag but uh, I may be the winner." Silver said while smirking making Rainbow and Sonic's jaw drop.
"Put em down now Silver. This is no time for jokes." Shadow said and Silver did listen and put it down.
There are some tried get out but Rainbow puts them back.
"Good work, everypony! I think we got 'em all!" Applejack said and turns to Fluttershy, "Now all we need is for you do to your Stare."
"Oh, um, are you sure I really need-" Fluttershy looked at her friends and they all nodded. "Okay."
She flew towards to the bats eating the apples all setup, "I really, really, really hate to do this to you... I just hope you can forgive me..." Her final worlds as she closed her eyes and opens with a stern look.
Sonic and Silver were surprised and amazed on what she just did. The bats got her attention and just staring at her eyes.
"Good... now you go, Twilight." Applejack motioned her friend to do her thing.
"Alright." She replied with a determined look.
She walked closer and her horn glowed along with her hands. She closed her eyes and focused her magic to the bats. Seeing this made Sonic saw the magic working. Twilight finishes her magic and ends with a smile knowing that it must've worked.
While Twilight was proud on her work she looked at Fluttershy who is still staring, "You can stop staring Fluttershy."
Fluttershy closed her eyes and noticed that she had done it. Silver looked worried and made things difficult for her but it has to be done. She flew down and Twilight walked back to the group.
"Did it work?" Spike wondered.
"It has to." Sonic replied.
"Well, there is only one way to find out." Applejack said as she nod at Rainbow and she nods back aswell.
Rainbow grabbed an apple and give it the bat. The bat sniffs it and just looked away and fly off as an answer.
"Ye-he-heah, whoo!" Rainbow cheered as it worked.
"My crop is saved! Yee-haw!" Applejack cheered aswell.
"We'll be drinking cider all winter long!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"I wanna thank you for your help. I couldn't have done it without you." Applejack said in gratitude.
"Aw, don't mention it, Applejack. It was my pleasure! Really!" Spike said as he leaves the group alone giving him a puzzled look, but they just moved on.
"Now all we gotta do is sweep up these cores so I can start buckin' fresh tomorrow mornin'!" Applejack said as the group followed her.
It's early in the morning again as Shadow is again standing with his eyes closed while crossing his arms and Applejack waiting for the sunrise.
"Apple Bucking Day, take two!" Applejack said to herself.
The sun rosed up again and it shined the whole field.
"Yeeehaww!" Applejack shouted making Shadow wake up from that, "Let's go Shadow!" She said while running to the fields again.
"Hmph... alright." Shadow said as he just followed her.
"Time to collect those juicy, sweet apples." Applejack said while looking through the field.
"Hm." Shadow's reply.
Applejack kicks an apple tree as an apple fell and it turns out to get turned into a mush again. This then made Applejack frowned and Shadow surprised.
"I'm gonna call them back again." Shadow said leaving Applejack alone with her sad face.
Twilight then inspects the apple that is all dried up.
"The spell didn't work." Twilight said from conclusion.
"You're darn tootin' the spell didn't work!" Applejack said making Twilight ashamed.
"Woah, hold on Applejack, Twilight did her best in this. I'm sure it must've work." Sonic said trying to protect Twilight from this.
This made Twilight shock that Sonic tried to reason with Applejack that it worked.
"I'm sorry... but I think we're gonna have to take more extreme measures." Applejack corrects her self by inhaling and exhaling.
"I hear ya, Applejack. C'mon, everybody! Let's track down those vampire bats!" Rainbow said yelled out as the group followed her as she dashed to the tree where the bats are.
They found the vampire bats that used to sucked the apples, but it turns out that they're just hanging around and flying. Rainbow tried and offered an apple to the bat though the bat's response is slapping the apple away using it's wings. The apple that the bat slapped at landed on Rarity's horn. Silver then pulled the apple away and decides to clean it by Rarity's cloth that she gave to Silver. He slowly cleaned the horn while Rarity is blushing towards this. Fluttershy was just staring at the two as she then heard a voice from Twilight.
"Fluttershy, you're our animal expert. Do you know of any other creature that might be capable of this?"
"Huh? What?" Fluttershy regained herself from Twilight.
"I said, if there is any other creature that might be capable of this?" Twilight asked again.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I don't." Fluttershy answered.
"Well, there's only one way to find out. We'll have to catch whoever it is in the act." Twilight said.
"And how do you propose we do that?" Rarity wondered as Silver finished cleaning her horn.
"A stakeout...!" Twilight answered.
"Alright. I'm bringing stakes." Sonic said though it made Shadow annoyed.
"Don't try to make a pun intention there faker." Shadow said.
"What pun? Ohhh.." Sonic then realized what Shadow meant with the stakes for bats with a stakeout in the name.
They waited for the night came. Shadow made himself busy by just meditating, Sonic fell asleep and from afar Twilight and Rainbow were both watching him, but neither of them don't know that they are both staring at him while sleeping, and Silver is trying to reason with Spike about Rarity. The night became much more darker as Sonic then woke up by Shadow who kicked him in the head.
"Ow! Mind shaking me instead of kicking?" Sonic said while he is rubbing his head.
"Get yourself together faker. It's time." Shadow said as Sonic looked at the group who is seemed ready but slightly frighten.
"Alright then. Lets go." Sonic said while the group nodded.
They went deeper in the fields and Applejack gave them each flashlight.
"What are these for?" Sonic wondered.
"These are signals, whoever finds something suspicious use this to signal the others." Applejack said giving Sonic a flashlight.
"So were splitting up to cover more area. Seems fine to me." Sonic said making the others more frighten.
"Ready? Let's go." Twilight said as all of them nodded and walk inside.
Shadow was just walking around using his extreme eye skills to identify the situation that is going on around. He immediately stopped as he sensed something already.
"What's this... a chaos energy?! How? Why here..." Shadow said in his thoughts as he looked up in the sky seeing a signal from a flashlight, and it has a symbol of Applejack's cutie mark. "Applejack!" Shadow quickly skate towards Applejack's place.
He dodge the obstacles and managed to reach Applejack who is seemingly staring at a tree.
"AJ! What's going on?" Shadow asked the cowgirl who is still staring above.
Shadow then looked at the area where Applejack was looking and his eyes widen seeing a giant bat-like creature hanging in the tree.
"The chaos energy, it... leads to..." Shadow said in his thought as the bat wings opened it's wings revealing Fluttershy.
Fluttershy hisses and flew towards at them. Applejack was still in shock and so Shadow had to act quickly. He grabbed the flashlight and throw it towards Fluttershy. She saw this and dodged it but it made Fluttershy look at the thrown flashlight. Shadow took this opportunity and his hands glowed in a flash of light.
"Chaos Spear!" Shadow shouted as he shoot a light flash at Fluttershy.
Though she still sense this and dodge it and flew away. Pinkie then came out of nowhere as she is hanging in the branch and she opened her flashlight at Fluttershy directly causing the bat-girl to hit the branch that Pinkie was on.
"Woaahhh!" Pinkie yells out and Shadow caught her just in time, "Oh, hi Shady!" She giggled with a blush.
"Pinkie? Are you alright?" Shadow asked the pink girl.
"She's fine, hurry up Shadow, she's getting away!" Applejack shouted while running towards where Fluttershy flew.
Shadow brings down Pinkie and skated following Applejack. Pinkie followed the two by bouncing. At Twilight's position. She is running towards to the flashlight that Applejack's cutie mark revealed but it disappeared before she get even closer.
"I wonder what could've happen to Applejack..." Twilight said to herself in worried tone.
She continued to run, but then a light shines from the sky. She tried to go to the direction where it come from but while she is looking up. She didn't notice her path, which then she bumped into someone in the process.
"Ow! Who did I just bumped into?" Twilight wondered as she tried rubbing her head.
"Argh... I should've look where I'm going." The voice is very familiar to Twilight as her eye widen that it was Sonic that she bumped into.
"Oh my... Sonic, I'm so so so sorry!" Twilight quickly said so.
"Woah woah, easy Twilight. I'm sorry aswell, I looked to where I'm going, I'm sorry." Sonic tried to reason, "A-Are you alright?"
Twilight just slowly nods. Sonic quickly gets up and give Twilight a hand. She slowly puts her hand into Sonic and then slowly she stands up. She is blushing for a reason, her heart beats faster again, and the temperature is getting hotter again even it's pretty cold in the middle of the night.
"Looks like Shadow has found the culprit." Sonic said while looking at the sky.
Twilight didn't answer. She is looking down and wondered that she wants to know this feeling, and she wants to know to the person that made her feel like that, hopefully to get an answer or something.
"We should continue to where we are heading at." Sonic was about to run but Twilight grabbed his arm making him confused, "Uh, Twilight? What's wrong?"
"Sonic, c-can I ask you something?" Twilight slowly asks.
"Oh, sure thing, Twi. Fire away." Sonic said as he looked at her.
Saying the name 'Twi', made her heart beat go faster. "D-Do you ever have that feeling? Whe-where... you know... uh.."
"I'm listening Twilight." Sonic said as he got closer.
"D-do you ever have that feeling... where your heart beat goes faster? And then the temperature is getting hotter when you are t-talking to that someone?" Twilight bravely said so but atleast it is understandble.
"Am I thinking what she is saying? W-Wait! I-I don't know what to say!" Sonic said in his thoughts while staring at Twilight.
"I..." He was about to say something until he looked behind Twilight that there is a figure flying towards them.
"Sonic?" Twilight wondered as Sonic replied by holding to her shoulders.
She got startled and Sonic quickly pushed her away from the direction of the figure heading at. They both landed in the ground and the creature flew pass them.
"What the hell is that!" Sonic shouted as he also heard from footsteps coming from the other side, "Shadow?"
"Faker." Shadow replied back.
"Twilight, you okay?" Applejack asked her friend as Sonic helped her again standing up.
"Yeah, what was that anyway?" Twilight looked behind her.
"It's Flutterbat! Pinkie yelled out.
"Flutterbat? You mean, Fluttershy is the one who sucks up all the apples?" Sonic thought.
"Yes, but I don't know how did this happened." Applejack said.
Twilight then thinks for a moment and understand how it did turned out to be like, "The magic was supposed to be target at the vampire bats, but somehow it must've backfired because of Fluttershy's stare and the vampire bat's desire was then transferred to Fluttershy. We need to get her attention, I can use a reverse spell to make her back to normal."
"That won't be easy Princess." Shadow said as all of them looked at him, "That Flutterbat has chaos energy, your magic will be useless and getting her attention would be alot difficult."
"How can she have a chaos emerald?" Sonic wondered.
"That, I don't know." Shadow said and then a familiar scream was heard in the distance.
"That was Rarity's!" Twilight yells out.
"Let's go guys!" Sonic said as he leads the way with the others following him.
They reached the area where Rarity screamed. They all saw that Flutterbat has her feet standing on Rainbow Dash's body while cornering Rarity
"Fluttershy! Stop this." A voice was then heard from the other side.
It was Silver who is levitating, he landed on his feet and tried to reason with Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked at Rarity and then back at Silver. Her red light filled eyes squints. She removed her feet off from Rainbow and grabbed her. "Let me go!" Rainbow said trying to fight off Fluttershy. Though she did let her go, by throwing Rainbow Dash towards Rarity. She flew straight to Silver. Silver didn't act fast enough as he got grabbed by Fluttershy.
"Argh! Fluttershy?!" Silver shouted but Fluttershy just replied him with a hiss.
Shadow then pursuits Fluttershy with a dash. As he is in mid-air, he was about to reach Fluttershy but she used her bat wings to hit Shadow. Though, he quickly teleports behind Fluttershy and gives a punch but Fluttershy continued to spin around causing Shadow to pushed back downwards. Shadow groaned and the two chaos emerald came out of his quills. The emeralds then ended up infront of Sonic. Sonic's eyes widen as he saw a purple smoke coming out of it.
"If only we had Fluttershy here to do her stare on the Flutterbat." Pinkie suggested as Twilight gasped from an idea.
"That's it! But we need to get Silver." Twilight said as she looked at Fluttershy flying away with Silver.
"Oh, can you please save Silver?" Rarity questioned her while carrying Rainbow Dash's arm around her.
"Fluttershy is pretty strong aswell." Rainbow remarks.
"Give me time. I'll do something really quick." Sonic said in a serious tone and he grabbed the chaos emerald and runs off.
"What the! Faker give me back the chaos emerald!" Shadow shouted as he stands up.
"I'm gonna go and save Silver. You guys be ready on what you are going to do." Sonic said running off to the distance.
The group just looked at Sonic running away.
"Well, Princess? You're plan?" Shadow asked Twilight and she then started to work on it.
Twilight was levitating a giant object hidden with a curtain.
"Okay, let's go get our friend back. Action stations." Twilight said as Rainbow removed the curtain it showed the giant apple that Applejack had.
This then made Shadow surprised as they have to use that.
"So much for having the winning apple in the Appleloosa State Fair, huh?" Rainbow said as Applejack sighed from losing it.
She grabbed a knife and cut the apple as apple juice flow down. Rainbow used her wings to make the scent flow and hopefully get her attention. Back at Silver who is being cuddled by Fluttershy, though it is weird at Silver's perspective. Fluttershy then sniffs the scent that the giant apple had. She flew towards the giant apple was.
"Guys! Help meeeee!" Silver said while Fluttershy flying at high speed.
As soon Fluttershy got closer to the apple, Applejack kicks it revealing a mirror held by Spike. Fluttershy saw her reflection and she looked away, though as she looked away, she saw more of the mirrors. She then managed to stare at a moment. Twilight got closer and use the spell, but as the result worked out. Nothing happened.
"What..." Twilight was surprised by this.
"Princess! She still has chaos energy! We need to find the chaos emerald in her before or the spell won't work." Shadow said while holding the mirror.
Fluttershy then shakes her head and she holds out Silver in her other arm and she punched the mirror. She knew the situation so she had to fly away.
"She's getting away!" Shadow raised his hands but then they all heard a howl.
They looked around to where it come from, and Fluttershy stopped flying away. A long hand stretched at Silver's feet and grabbing him away from Fluttershy's grasp. "Woah!" Silver shouted as he hits the ground and he then got pulled. Fluttershy decided to follow Silver then a punch coming straight towards her, she saw this and dodge it. The hand returned and then a howl again was heard. A figure then came out in the dark and attacked Fluttershy.
The beast pinned the wings, but Fluttershy used her eyes to make a beam hitting the beast in the head. As the beast lose it's strength, Fluttershy punched the beast in the stomach and pushing him away. Making her fly away again. But it didn't stop her. The beast use his other arm to grab her while her other one to rub the pain. He pulled her and smash her down to the ground.
"Silver! Now!" The beast said in a growl like voice.
Silver came out while levitating with a bunch more mirrors. He landed and placed them all around the beast and Fluttershy.
"Twilight use your magic again!" Silver shouted.
"But, I didn't work!" Twilight shouted back.
The beast then struggled to holding her down again. But something he sensed with his nose and it came from Fluttershy's hair. He grabbed in there and remove it successfully. "Do it now!" The beast shouted once more. Twilight saw the chaos emerald that the beast removed making it the chance to use it again. She did and everything flashed in a purple light.
It reached morning when everything becomes normal. Applejack sets up a sign to where the vampire bat's area lies.
"I'm sorry I didn't take your suggestion in the first place Fluttershy." Applejack said.
"And don't forget, now you'll get seeds that will grow to bigger and better apple trees." Fluttershy replied to her friend, "I'm sorry I caused you all trouble." She finished as she looked to everyone by looking down.
Twilight walked to Sonic and wondered, "That Werehog you told last night, you only became like that when it turns nighttime?"
"Yeah. Sorry took me awhile to get into action. Gathering more mirrors is a tougher task, and knowing the fact that Fluttershy might break the mirrors, I bring more just in case." Sonic replied, "If you wanna see it again more. You could check it out later at night." Sonic said as Twilight nodded with a smile.
Fluttershy then walked into Silver while Rarity is treating his bruises, "Silver, are you hurt?" Fluttershy just asked Silver.
"Oh, not really, but Sonic smashing me in the ground isn't the best idea ever." Silver said glaring at Sonic.
"Hey, I wasn't sure how to get you out of the situation." Sonic said as he scratched his head.
"Sonic, your Werehog form is 20% way past cooler!" Rainbow remarked the beast that was last night.
"Thanks Rainbow, though I never have that comment before." Sonic said as he looked down.
"Whats wrong?" Rarity questioned her.
"Well, it's just that the way it looked horrible to the vision of others. I can't communicate at them at that time because they all looked at me like a monster." Sonic said as he clenched in fist.
"Woah hey! Listen, no ones gonna think you're a monster in that look. You're not a monster to me." Rainbow said making Sonic calm.
"Thanks Rainbow." Sonic smiled.
"N-No problem." Rainbow scratches her head with a blush.
They group laugh at this but Twilight just looked at them. While the laughing is happening, Shadow then looked at the chaos emerald that Sonic thrown off.
"Hm... it has Fluttershy as it's vision it gave me, and it seems I can't sense the other chaos emeralds... without activating them. Looks like our search or hunt is much more difficult now." Shadow thought of it.
Author: Well, this wasn't I was expected. I'm pretty sure you guys noticed that there are some parts that are missing here and there from the original episode. I do apologize for that because I tried to make this part much shorter, and Werehog's appearance is rather short. I don't have time to refix his part and how make it work. But basically he needs to find a moonlight clearly in order for him to activate it again. But this just made things much more longer. That's all for me, Moonlight here. Over and out.
