Chapter 4: Part 4: "My Skill Is Vasted On Zis Team"

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Fluttershy's right eye was normal once again. Her left eye was still covered by her mane. She was cleaning her bloody Übersaw in the infirmary's sink.

"How does it feel?"

"Killing ponies?"

"No. Winning. How does it feel?"

"Awful."

"Why? That vas your first victory since you joined zis team. You should feel great."

"Yes, I won. But at what cost? I killed ponies. I also assisted kills. I'm a murderer."

"Ja, zat's vhat you're supposed to do."

"No, I'm supposed to heal ponies, not kill."

"Heal, kill, zey sound ze same. Just pretend zey are."

"But I can't."

"Pony up, dummkopf! Zis is war against your nemesis, not a valk in ze park vith your kamerads."

"They're not my nemesis, they're my friends."

"Oh, for ze love of... Zey killed you many times, called you names and you still consider zem your friends? Zere are no friends in ze RED team!"

"But Twilight--"

"After all ze headshots?"

"Applejack--"

"She blew you up more times zen I can count."

"Big Mac--"

"He punched you in ze face. ZE FACE!"

"What about Rain--"

"Rainbow Dash? Don't even get me started. She insulted you, taunted you, threw things at you... Do you want me to keep going?"

"N-No..."

"Wunderbar."

"But what am I supposed to do?"

"I'm glad you asked."

* * *

"Have you seen Fluttershy?" Rarity asked.

"Nope!" Pinkie said.

Spike shook his head.

"No, ma'am." Derpy said.

"Right. Thanks, anyway." she said, then trotted toward the Medic mare's room and knocked on the door, which swung open. "Strange. Fluttershy always close the door. Are you here, darling?"

The room was empty, nopony there. She was about to leave when a white spot on the blue blanket caught her attention. Rarity levitated it toward her; it was a letter with the words "To BLU Team" written on it.

"What's that?" she opened it and proceeded to read it. She gasped and let it fall on the ground. "A-A goodbye letter?"

* * *

Fluttershy walked down a road, pulling a small cart with her stuff in it; her Medi-Gun, Kritzkrieg, Übersaw, Syringe Gun, Crusader's Crossbow and her BLU Medic uniform. Her mane was still covering the left side of her face.

"I hope you know what you're doing."

"Trust me, Fluttershy. What I'm doing is ze best for both of us."

"Will I ever see them again?"

"Vell, I will."

"Wh-What do you mean with--" she closed her eyes and fell to the ground with her hooves on her head, screaming in pain. "W-What are you doing?"

"Subjugating you. Claiming vhat's mine. Vhy do you think I separated you from your kamerads? Nopony to stop me, nopony to save you! Hahahahahahahah!"

"No, please! No! NO!"

"Too late to stop. Auf wiedersehen, nurse!"

Fluttershy screamed louder before fainting. A few moments later she got up again, panting. She opened her right eye and it looked exactly like the left one. She smiled and uncovered the left side of her face.

"Let's go practice medicine!"

* * *

"Fluttershy... Fled?" Rainbow Dash asked, shocked.

"Yes, I just got this letter from Redmond Mann, telling us the BLU Medic resignated." Twilight said, levitating the letter. "And unless there's another BLU Medic, we're talking about Fluttershy."

"But why would she flee?" Applejack asked.

"Maybe she took everythin' to a personal level." Big Macintosh said.

"Darn it!" Rainbow Dash said, throwing her Shortstop at the wall. "It's my fault. I never gave her a break." Rainbow Dash sighed and sit on the floor. "I know her since we were foals, so obviously I know when something is hurting her feelings. And I was hurting her feelings. But I was having... Fun! So I just ignored."

"Congratulations, Rainbow." Applejack said, opening a bottle of hard cider. "Yer a terrible friend."

"Gimme a break, AJ! I'm already feeling bad anough without you throwing my flaws at my face."

"Ah'm just pointin' a fact."

"Oh, so you chucklenut knows what 'fact' means?"

"Yes, Ah do. And ya know why? 'cuz Ah wasn't kicked out of school!"

"Alright, alright. No need to be offensive." Twilight said, but they ignored her completely.

After a few more insults, Rainbow Dash lost her temper, grabbed her Sandman and hit Applejack in the face.

"RAINBOW DASH!" Twilight shouted.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hitcha. Oh, wait. Yeah, I did!"

Applejack cleaned her bloody muzzle and chuckled before grabbing her Eyelander. "Oh, Ah'm gonna beat ya so hard ya'll have a twitch."

"Big Mac, stop them!"

"да." the Heavy Weapons Pony said, then lifted both mares by the collar.

"If you order now, I'll throw in a second beating, absolutely free."

"Go to Tartarus and tell Hades Ah'm comin' for him next."

"Alright, I've had enough! You two better stop and apologize to each other before I report you to Mr. Redmond. And I'll make sure to suggest him to fire both of you. What do you mongrels want? Apologize and keep your bloody jobs or be fired and thrown in a filthy alley and keep arguing there?"

Big Mac dropped both mares, who landed on their rumps.

"Ah'm... Ah'm sorry, RD." Applejack said, looking down. "Ah let mah anger get the best of me."

Rainbow Dash, still with anger in her eyes, only turned around and entered her room. "Whatever!" she said before slamming the door.

"She will apologize. Eventually." Twilight sighed. "I hope."

* * *

Fluttershy stopped in front of a big building's gate. The building had "Gray Gravel Co." written on it. She smirked. "Knock knock, Gray Mann." she whispered, picked her Crusader's Crossbow and Übersaw up and flew over the gate. AS she landed, an alarm rang and dozens of robot ponies based on her friends and her surrounded her. She laughed maniacally. "IT'S JUST YOU AND ME, ROBOTS!"

* * *

"We don't need another member!" Rainbow Dash said. "The four of us are enough. And now that Fluttershy is gone the teams are finally balanced."

"First, there are nine classes." Twilight said. "We can't leave one class out, it's part of the rules. Second, Mr. Redmond already hired a Medic. Third, I wouldn't say the teams are 'balanced' since you're not fighting anymore."

"So, you mean I'm just staying around, being useless?"

"That's not what I said."

"You know what? I'll join you in the next mission, just so I can rub in your face that I'm not useless." she looked at Applejack. "In your face too!"

The door swung open, revealing their new Medic, a blue unicorn. She was holding her Medi-Gun and posing. There was light coming from behind her and an epic music playing somewhere. Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Applejack gasped.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is pleased to work with the Famous and Wealthy Redmond Mann and his-- YOU!"

"YOU!" the three mares said at the same time.

"Trixie changed her mind. Trixie refuses to work with you."

Twilight facehoofed. "Look, Trixie. We're not looking after working with you either, but once you're in, you're in until the contract expires. And that's a long, LONG time. Well, unless you flee. And since we already had an escape recently, I doubt the security wasn't redoubled. There is only one way out: being fired. And believe me, that's hard!"

"But-- Trixie--" she sighed. "No way back then, right?"

Twilight smiled and held Trixie's hoof. "Since we're stuck together now, let's do our best to forget the past and try to get along, ok?"

Trixie slapped Twilight's hoof away, grunted and walked toward one of the empty rooms.

"What's Redmond's problem?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Why would he hire her?"

"Give her a chance, Dash." Twilight said. "I bet that if we give her a chance, she'll change."

"Says you, egghead. I find it hard to believe that she will ever change."

Author's Notes:

Sorry if I'm not updating in a regular basis, but I have a reason: I love writing fanfics, but when it comes to typing them, I get kinda lazy. So I write a part, then I stop, write another part, stop... Again, sorry! But look on the bright side, I never leave you guys hanging. I always finish what I started! :D
