"Vhere are your precious papers now, dummkopfs?" Fluttershy asked. "Right here. And if you vant zem back, you'll have to fight for zem."

"This accent is getting on my nerves!" Rarity said.

"Ya have problems with accents, 'darlin'?" Applejack asked, holding her Eyelander.

Big Macintosh stomped a hoof on the ground. Rarity's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"N-N-No! Of course not, darlin'." she said, smiling nervously and wearing her mask. "I have an accent too. It's just that I know her for quite some time and she never said a single word with that accent. And hearing her speaking like that sounds odd, so it's hard to accustom."

"Wait, she never told you she is from Germane?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Germane?" they all said at the same time.

"Yes, she moved to Cloudsdale after attending the Summer Flight Camp. I thought you all knew."

"Well, that explains the accent." Twilight said. "But doesn't explain why. I mean, she never--"

"Enough chit-chat, ladies." Derpy said, adjusting her Black Box on her shoulder. "Here they come."

They all looked toward the army of robots, they wre indeed moving toward them. Fast.

"Pinkie Pie, if you please." Rarity said.

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie said, placing a box on the ground. "Erecting a Dispenser."

Big Macintosh started rotating his Natascha.

Derpy loaded her Black Box.

Applejack shot a few stickybombs with her Scottish Resistance.

Spike aimed his Detonator.

Twilight pointed her Huntsman at them.

Rarity cloaked herself.

Rainbow Dash threw her ball up.

"Catch this!" she said before hitting the ball with her Sandman.

The ball flew at high speed and his a Rainbow Dash Bot's head, stunning her.

"ATTACK!" Derpy shouted.

Big Macintosh shouted as he started shooting. Applejack started shooting pipe bombs and Twilight shot an arrow, which trespassed three robots. Rainbow Dash started shooting her Soda Popper. Derpy started shooting rockets. Spike started shooting flares.

Everything went just fine until a Critical rocket hit the ground near them. Most of the mercs took small damage, but Rainbow Dash and Applejack took a lot of damage. The explosion also threw them several feet away from the group.

"AJ's a goner!" Pinkie shouted.

"Dash down!" Derpy shouted.

"RD, are ya ok?" Applejack asked, trying to get up.

"I can't feel my everything..." the Scout mare answered.

Applejack chuckled, then groaned in pain. "Can't Ah just die and respawn already?"

"I know how you feel, pal."

Rarity uncloaked herself behing the red robots, holding two sappers.

"Gentlebots!" she said.

The robots and Fluttershy turned around. Rarity pressed the Sappers against the chest of the robots. They turned off instantly, dropping the briefcases.

"Surprise!" she said, then pointed her Ambassador at Fluttershy. "Why are you doing this, Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy started laughing as smoke surrounded her body, revealing her true identity: a Rarity Bot. The true Rarity headshot her. The moment the robot fell to the ground, all the others did as well. The other mercs joined Rarity, Big Macintosh carrying Applejack and Rainbow Dash on his back.

"What happened?" Twilight asked.

"We were deceived."

"If that was not Fluttershy..." Applejack started.

"Where is she?" Rainbow Dash finished.

"Pinkie sense!" Pinkie Pie said. "Pinkie sense working!" she then lifted her right forehoof. "itchy hoof." her tail started spinning. "Spinny tail." she rubbed her forehead. "Sweaty forehead." she gasped.

"What does that mean, Pinkie?" Applejack asked.

"Sabotage!"

"But yer Dispenser and yer Sentry are still there. What in tarnation 'Shy may be--"

"The respawn device!" Twilight shouted.

Pinkie opened a panel in the spawnroom. A cloud of smoke and sparks came out of it, making her cough. She looked inside. All the wires were cut and screens were smashed.

"Oh, no." Rarity said.

"Boys, we have a traitor!" Derpy said.

Spike mumbled something.

"What are her intentions in doing this?" asked Pinkie.

"No idea, Pinkie, darling. No idea."

Rainbow Dash opened the spawnroom door. There she found Fluttershy looking down at wires scattered all over the floor.

"Oops! Zat vas not medicine."

"HEY!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

Fluttershy turned around and groaned.

"What the hay do you think you're doing, pally?"

She didn't answered, only dashed toward Dash, knocking her aside and leaving the spawnroom, flying away.

"You won't get away this time!" Rainbow shouted, flying after her.

"Was that...?" Twilight asked.

"да." Big Mac answered.

Fluttershy was flying faster than ever. Even Rainbow Dash was surprised. She was even more surprised when Fluttershy suddenly turned around and shot a syringe with her Crusader's Crossbow, hitting her pursuer's left wing.

The Scout mare grunted. She couldn't flap her wing because it felt numb. She soon fell. Fluttershy landed a few feet away from her, holding her Übersaw. Rainbow Dash quickly got up and shook her head.

"You and me!" She then galloped at full speed toward the Medic mare.

Rainbow Dash tackled Fluttershy, making her drop her Übersaw. When she hit the ground, her Blighted Beak mask fell. She got up, shook her head and opened her eyes. Rainbow Dash gasped.

"Fl-Fluttershy! Wha-What happened to your eyes?"

She grabbed her mask and threw it away. "Guess zhere's no reason in hiding it now. A while ago I did an experiment. Ze experiment vent vrong and I ended up like zat."

"Is that experiment related to your... New personality?"

"New? Zhere's nothing new here. Vell, ze mask vas new, but it's useless now." she pointed her Crusader's Crossbow at Rainbow Dash. "Ze hole in your chest will be new as vell."

Rainbow Dash smirked, grabbed a can of BONK! Atomic Punch (Cherry Fission) from her backpack and drank it in a single gulp. Fluttershy shot a syringe, but BONK!'s effect had already kicked in and she quickly dodged it.

"You can't hit what ain't there!" she said, then ran in circles. "I'm running in circles around ya."

Fluttershy grabbed her Übersaw and closed her eyes.

"Not so tough now, are ya? Are ya?"

"Drei, zwei, eins..." Fluttershy mumbled.

Fluttershy attacked the exact moment BONK!'s effect wore off. Dash's pupils shrinked to small dots and she felt to the ground, pressing her hooves to her stomach, trying to keep herself from bleeding out. The pain was unbearable.

"You have 30 seconds to live." Fluttershy said, poiting her Crusader's Crossbow at Rainbow Dash's face.

"This sucks on ice..." Dash said, closing her eyes.

A loud bang. Fluttershy's crossbow flew from her hoof, landing meters away from her. She turned around and saw Twilight standing on the top of a building.

"Here's some advice!" she shouted, waving her hoof. "Next time, shoot first!"

Pinkie Pie, Big Macintosh, Derpy, Applejack and Spike appeared from behind the building and Rarity uncloaked herself beside Rainbow Dash, pointing her Ambassador at Fluttershy's head.

"Just lay your weapons down and walk away."

The medic mare smirked, dropped her Übersaw and raised her forelegs. Rarity looked down at Rainbow Dash, still pointing her gun at Fluttershy.

"Are you ok, darling?"

"I don't know. How bad is the wound?"

"Pretty bad."

"Then I'm not ok. Trixie, can you fix that?"

"Trixie is not here, darling."

She smiled. "Oh. Yes. Right. She hates me. I should have treated her better. She's part of the team too."

"Please, don't talk, darling. Save your energy. We're gonna--"

Fluttershy headbutted Rarity and grabbed the Spy mare's Ambassador. Twilight quickly pointed her Sniper Rifle back at her.

"Bloody piker!"

A bullet trespassed Twilight's skull before she could pull the trigger. She dropped the Rifle and fell, dead.

"Danke for ze advice, 'mate'." she said.

"How dare you!" Rarity shouted, grabbing her Knife.

Fluttershy put the Ambassador's barrel in Rarity's mouth. "Stop whining." she said before pulling the trigger. Rarity's body fell to the ground. Fluttershy quickly turned around. Derpy was pointing her Reserve Shooter at her, Pinkie Pie was pointing her Frontier Justice and Spike was pointing his Detonator. Applejack and Big Macintosh were running toward her, Applejack wielding her Eyelander and her Splendid Screen.

Fluttershy didn't thought twice; she headshot both Apple siblings and flew toward Spike. He shot a flare, but Fluttershy dodged. The Pyro dragon ran away. Fluttershy shot once, but missed.

"Hold still, Schweinehund!" she shouted. "Zis vill only sting for a moment!" Spike tripped. Fluttershy landed on top of him. She could feel a few bones cracking under her hooves. She chuckled. "Dummkopf." he pointed the revolver at his head. Headshot.

The Medic mare looked at where Derpy and Pinkie were. The Engineer mare was cowering behind her Dispenser and the Soldier mare was still pointing her Reserve Shooter at her. She was trembling.

"W-We have you surrounded!" Derpy said, then gulped. "A-At least from this side."

Fluttershy smirked and slowly walked toward them. Derpy dropped her shotgun. She and Pinkie hugged each other.

"I-I-I can't giggle her away!" Pinkie said. "Sh-She's not a ghostie."

Fluttershy smirked and pulled the trigger. And again. And again. But nothing happened. She groaned.

"Out of ammo." she said, then threw the Ambassador away and picked Derpy's Reserve Shooter up. "Look at you. So veak. So scared. Just like... Like..." she looked down at the Reserve Shooter. "Just like me." she shook her head. "No! Zat's not me anymore. I'm strong. I'm powerful. I'm fearless. I'm unstoppable. No, I'm not. I'm a gentle Medic mare who cares about everypony. The embodiment of kindness. I'm Fluttershy. No! Shut up! I'm Übershy! And Übershy cares not about anything and anypony but herself! And winning. Winning is good, isn't it? Only when you win nicely and fairly."

"Is... Is she ok?" Derpy asked.

"No idea!" Pinkie answered.

"Girls." Fluttershy said. "Please. Kill me!" she screamed in pain, anger and sadness. "SHUT UP, NURSE! I KNOW VHAT'S BEST!" she pointed the Reserve Shooter at them again.

Derpy and Pinkie hugged each other tighter, closed their eyes and waited for the projectiles to trespass them, ending their lives. But nothing happened. They slowly opened their eyes and saw Fluttershy with a pained expression on her face. Behind her was standing Trixie, holding a bloody Amputator. Fluttershy's right wing was half sawn.

"Did that sting?" Trixie asked. "SAW-rry!"

Fluttershy tried hitting Trixie with the shotgun, but Trixie dodged the attack and hit Fluttershy's elbow, making her drop the Reserve Shooter.

"You have amazing bones. I'll enjoy sawing each and every one of them!"

Fluttershy bucked Trixie's stomach, sending her flying. Trixie hit the building, breaking the wooden wall. She grabbed the RED Medic mare's Amputator and slowly walked toward her. Trixie got up with difficult. Her eyes widened when she felt something cold against her neck; it was Fluttershy, pressing the Amputator against it.

"Would you like a second opinion?" she asked. "You are also ugly!"

Fluttershy fell to the ground, disoriented. Trixie turned around and saw Rainbow Dash standing there, one hoof holding her Sandman and the other on the wound in her stomach.

"How's that feel, wimp?"

"Ra... Rain..." She raised the bat and hit Fluttershy's head. Knocking her out.

"What have we learned?" she hit again. "I!" hit. "Always!" hit. "WIN!" Rainbow Dash dropped her bloody Sandman and turned her head, not wanting to look what she just did to her oldest friend. She slowly walked toward Pinkie Pie and Derpy. "Are you two ok?"

They slowly nodded.

"Come over here!" Trixie said, holding her Medi-Gun. "I promise I will heal you."

"It's too late, Trixie." she said. "But thank you. And sorry for..." she fell to the ground before she could finish the sentence.

Trixie pointed the Medi-Gun at Rainbow Dash and pushed the lever.

But it was too late.

"Much obliged, Engie!" Pinkie said. "And sorry for making you come back here, even though you're retired."

"Nah, not a problem, Pinks." Dell said, cleaning his swaty forehead with a handkerchief. "Life out there is quite calm an' Ah like it, but sometimes Ah catch mahself recallin' the old days Ah spent here, fightin' for Points and Intelligences."

"Your happiness is my happiness! Still, I couldn't fix it because I don't have the schematics, and even if I had I wouldn't touch it, because it has the name Conagher in it, and Pinkie Pie messes with no family business."

Dell chuckled. "Ah still can't believe Flutters did all those things ya told me she did. When Ah met her she didn't looked like that kind of pers-- Sorry. That kind of pony!"

"I am no Applejack, but I never lie!"

"Ah know, Pinks."

The Engineer hit the panel with his Wrench. Many lights in it turned on.

"Whoooowee! Ah'm done. This beauty is ready to go on for a few more decades. As long as nobody and nopony messes with it again."

Pinkie took off Dell's hard hat and kissed his bald head. "Thanks, Engie!"

Dell chuckled and closed the panel. A few seconds later, Twilight respawned.

"I'm... I'm alive?"

"Of course you are, silly!"

"Pinkie? But... Wasn't the respawn device--"

"Engie fixed it, don't worry."

The Sniper mare looked at Dell. He waved at her.

"Long time no see, miss Sparkle."

"Hello, Mr. Conagher. And thanks."

"No problem."

Applejack and Big Mac respawned, soon followed by Rainbow Dash.

The Scout mare looked at Trixie, who was sitting on a bench, looking at her. Rainbow Dash approached her, scratching her scruff.

"Look, I don't know if you heard before I died, but... I'm sorry, Trixie. I said horrible things to and about you. Things that weren't true or unnecessary. We started with the wrong hoof here, so let's try this one more time, ok?"

She extended her hoof, smiling. Trixie looked down at it.

"Trixie agrees." she said, shaking Rainbow Dash's hoof.

"Let's go, Engie." Pinkie said, pushing him with her head. "My team's respawn device needs your help too."

"Alrighty, then."

Rarity was the first to respawn.

"My mouth tastes like steel and gunpowder..." she said.

Derpy and Pinkie hugged her.

"I... Can't breath... Darlings..."

Spike respawned too. The mares pulled him to the group hug. They all let go of each other when Fluttershy respawned near them. She was lying on the floor and wearing her Blighted Beak mask.

"Is she still...?" Depy asked.

"One way to find out." Rarity said, removing the mask from Fluttershy's face. She was unconscious. The Spy mare opened the Medic mare's eye and smiled. It was back to normal.

"Don't worry. She's back."

Both RED and BLU mercs, as well as Dell Conagher, were standing outside the BLU base. They were all looking at Fluttershy, who was looking down at her hooves.

"I-I'm sorry. For everything I did. I was a horrible mare. Even worse, a terrible friend. I don't think you'll ever forgive me for what I did, but I beg your pardon. Please, understand that I wasn't doing that on purpose. There was this... Voice in my head, telling me to do things. Until the voice took over and I couldn't even control my body. Please, please, forgive me. Please. I'm really, really, REALLY sorry!"

Rainbow Dash was the first to hug her. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity hugged her too.

"All is forgiven." Rarity said.

Dell looked around, confused. He was surrounded by ponies and a dragon, but now he was alone. All of them suddenly disappeared.

Fluttershy looked around. She was in the RED respawn room. She looked down and gasped; she was now wearing the RED Medic uniform.

"What...?"

She looked around and saw Rainbow Dash, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Twilight, all of them wearing the RED uniform.

"Teams are being scrambled."

"Well, this explains everything." Rarity said.

"да." Big Macintosh said.

"Since Trixie and Sparkle are no longer teammates, they can settle everything like true unicorn mares." Trixie said.

Applejack drank from her cider bottle and burped. "An' Ah can finally teaach that show-off Scout that Defense classes are as important and strong as Attack classes. Mah bombs are ready!"

"Well, since Pinkie is no longer here..." Rarity said, levitating her Sapper. "...I can finally use this!"

"Five. Four. Three. Two. One."

Trixie pointed her Medi-Gun at Big Macintosh and started overhealing him. When the gates opened they were there first ones to leave.

"Here Ah come!" he shouted.

"The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting." she said.

"Get 'em, boyos!" Applejack shouted before stickyjumping away.

"Give 'em Tartarus, boys!" Derpy shouted before rocketjumping away.

Rarity smiled before cloaking herself.

"Outta my way, outta my way." Pinkie said, carrying a box on her forelegs.

"Ready, Spike?" Twilight asked, nuzzling the baby dragon.

He nodded.

"Then give 'em a gob full!"

Spike cheered and they left.

"Ready, Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Ready!" Fluttershy ansered, sounding way more confident than before.

Rainbow Dash smiled. "Playball!"

They took off, Fluttershy followng and overhealing her.

"The Point is now avaliable for capture."

"Let's show them what we're made of, Fluttershy!"

"Right."

Rainbow readied her Soda Popper and landed on the Point, Fluttershy right behind her. Big Mac and Trixie were approaching. Rainbow Dash smiled. Big Mac started rotating his Natascha.

"Let us begin!" he said, smiling.
