Fluttershy couldn’t believe what she was watching. She didn’t want to believe what she was watching. The two hooded ponies were carrying Angel towards the same table they had just slaughtered a deer on. She could see a brief flash of her beloved pet being killed and brought back to life as a mindless zombie in her mind. The yellow pegasus shook her head defiantly to rid herself of the horrible images.

“We can’t let them hurt Angel.” Fluttershy whispered in a concerned tone while looking down to her two friends. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie shared the yellow mare’s sentiment as they watched the two carry the rabbit with dread.

“I know… we need to go out there and stop them! Tom…? Tom?!” Rainbow Dash whispered loudly to the tree where the human had been hiding. The cyan pegasus was confused to see the tree empty with the slayer nowhere to be seen.

“Where the hay did he go?” Rainbow Dash whispered in a frustrated tone while looking around for the human. The other two ponies shared in the cyan mare’s confusion, until a familiar voice spoke up loudly from inside the camp.

“Evening gentlemen…” Tom announced to the two hooded ponies while walking forward with a confident expression. The two swiftly turned around to face the human, before jumping slightly in surprise from seeing the intruder.

“Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?!” The unicorn yelled in a fierce tone. He was obviously trying to sound more threatening than he actually felt as he nervously watched the human staring at him. The earth pony tapped his partner on the shoulder frantically while looking at him with wide eyes.

“That’s the guy the others were talking about! That’s the slayer!” The teal stallion said on the verge of a panic attack. The unicorn gulped nervously while shoving his friend slightly to calm him down. He then turned to face the human and put on his best threatening expression.

“What do you want?” He asked with a slight twinge of nervousness in his voice. Tom smirked slightly as he watched the blue pony trying to sound brave.

“That rabbit you got there is very important to a friend of mine… give him back.” The human instructed with a firm tone while stepping closer to the pair menacingly. While his partner was reduced to a quivering mess, the unicorn tried to be confident in the face of imminent danger.

“See… I would, but we need this rabbit for a little science experiment we’re working on. So you will have to come up here and take it.” The blue pony cringed as he realized what just came out of his mouth. Tom chuckled briefly before pulling out his sword and bringing it to his side.

“Alright, if you insist.” The human said with a smirk while stepping closer. The two ponies’ eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as they watched the slayer walking towards them slowly.

“Wait, wait, wait! We can sort this out peacefully!” The unicorn pleaded while setting Angel down. “Go ahead and take him. The charm he’s under will wear off by morning, just go!” He said frantically while shoving the rabbit forward and backing off.

Tom chuckled while stepping forward and picking up the rabbit. He then turned around to face the tree line and spoke up.

“Alright girls, you can come out.” The boy said to his friends hiding behind the tree. Fluttershy and the others were hesitant to walk out, but got over their concerns and walked forward. Upon seeing the human holding her pet, the yellow pegasus rushed forward eagerly and happily accepted the rabbit from him.

“Angel! I’m so glad you’re ok!” Fluttershy said while hugging the rabbit close. She then looked up to see Tom looking at her thoughtfully.

“Go free the other animals and wait around. I’ll deal with these two.” The human said while motioning over to the pen where the other animals were kept. Fluttershy nodded before recruiting her two friends to help her with liberating the trapped animals. The three mares quickly rushed over to the pen and opened it before looking inside.

“Oh my…” Fluttershy held her hoof up to her mouth to catch a gasp. All of the animals in the pen were standing around idly with dazed looks on their faces. All of them had glossy and unfocused eyes. There were wolves and foxes, deer and small birds alike. None of the animals seemed like they even knew they were sharing a pen with possible predators or prey.

“Come on. Let’s get them out of here.” Rainbow Dash said while grabbing one of the deer and gently nudging it until it started walking forward. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie followed the cyan mare’s lead and grabbed an animal to escort out into the forest.

While Fluttershy and the others were leading animals out of the pen, Tom turned to the hooded ponies and adopted a more serious expression. The unicorn and the earth pony could feel their spines melting into their feet when confronted with the icy glare being given by the slayer.

“You two have got a lot to answer for. You’re coming with me, and we’re going to take a little walk.” Tom said suggestively while leering at the two. The two ponies backed away slowly while the human walked forward.

“Uh… umm… uh...” The unicorn stammered nervously while back peddling. He suddenly turned around and looked off into the rest of the camp.

“Dust Kicker!” The blue stallion yelled as loud as he could before turning back to watch the human nervously. Soon, a brown furred pony walked into view.

Judging from the two wings poking out of his hoodie, the pony appeared to be a young pegasus stallion. There was a small dust devil on his side as a cute mark, and his hair was black. The stallion carried himself with a lot of confidence and seemed to have a threatening air about him.

“What the hell is going on over h-” Dust Kicker spoke up in annoyance before noticing the human and the other ponies in the camp. He then snickered to himself with a smirk on his face.

“You must be the slayer I’ve been hearing so much about.” The brown pegasus said with a confident smile. Tom was surprised to see such a cocky display.

“I guess my reputation precedes me… and who might you be?” The human asked curiously while observing the stallion.

The two hooded ponies scrambled to get away from the confrontation in front of them. They hid in one of the tents and peeked out to watch the inevitable fight. Fluttershy and her two friends watched the two anxiously as they sized each other up.

“Who I am doesn’t matter… what matters is that you need to keep your nose out of our business.” The brown pony replied sternly.

“Sorry, but my business is to stop people like you from harming others.” Tom said sarcastically. The pegasus chuckled to himself at the bold statement.

“Is that so? Well you must really suck at your job, because from what I hear, things didn’t go so well for a few people down at the hospital.” Dust Kicker mocked in a harsh tone. Tom was slightly upset to be reminded of what happened at the hospital, but he wasn’t about to give the pegasus the satisfaction of affecting him emotionally.

“I’m a bit confused as to what you guys are doing… everyone else in this world seems to be relatively nice, whereas you guys seem to be heartless cowards that use monsters to do your dirty work for you.” The human stated casually. This made the pegasus shift his expression into a leer.

“We can do a lot more than you think… the monsters are just a means to an end.” The stallion explained with a sour attitude.

“And what exactly is that end?” Tom asked with a firm tone. Dust Kicker merely laughed at the human, as if he really expected him to just tell him.

“I’m not at liberty to say, but if you stick around long enough, you should figure it out fairly easily.” Dust Kicker chuckled while explaining with a smirk on his face. Tom and the three ponies behind him were unsettled by how sinister the hooded pony’s statement was. It almost sounded like a threat.

“Well… If we can’t settle this peacefully, then I guess I’ll just have to beat it out of you like a piñata.” Tom said while gripping his sword and stepping forward, Pinkie Pie giggled quietly at the joke. She was glad to finally hear a reference from the human that she understood.

Dust Kicker leered at the approaching human and stood his ground. While his two terrified workers were shaking nervously from watching the action unfold, the brown stallion was unwavering in his resolve that this human posed little to no threat to him.

“If you take one more step you’re going to regret it.” The hooded pegasus announced in a threatening tone. Tom chuckled in his mind, allowing a soft smile to come out to express his feelings. How could a pony half his height think that it could harm him?

The human paused for a moment for effect. He then lifted one leg and extended it forward to take a single step. The pegasus didn’t like how the boy was smirking at him in provocation. After taking a moment to contain his anger at the pretentious act, Dust Kicker smiled deviously.

“Alright, you asked for it.” The stallion said sarcastically while looking down for a moment to concentrate. Fluttershy and the others were uneasy from the pegasus’s threat, but they weren’t sure if Tom was confident because he knew that he could handle the situation, or because he thought that the hooded pony posed no threat.

Dust Kicker’s front hoof suddenly started glowing a mixture of dark black and bright purple. The shadowy glow enveloped his hoof like a fire made out of shadows. The pegasus lifted his hoof and stamped it back on the ground forcefully, causing the purple glow to exit his hoof and travel along the ground to a spot in front of him.

The purple substance shimmered and shifted in place as it stretched out a short ways. After growing to a suitable size, the shadow-like film rose out of the ground and started taking shape in three dimensional space.

The shape being formed seemed a little bit familiar to the human, and as it formed further he recognized the creature taking shape. The monster had a broad frame with four clawed legs sticking out of the large hump that served as its body, and a large mouth filled with sharp teeth dripped a disgusting form of saliva. The creature that stood in front of the slayer was a darkling.

“Really…? That’s all you got, a darkling?” Tom asked while trying not to break out into laughter. “I can take care of darklings in my sleep.” He stated confidently while holding his hand out in front of him. He then fired off a blast of bright blue light, causing everyone in its path to shield their eyes from the intensity.

After the light died out, Tom smirked in expectance as he saw a few faint puffs of black smoke rising into the air. The human’s smirk quickly faded as he noticed that the creature was still standing. The snarling beast only had a few trails of smoke leading off of it as it stood its ground.

The beast stood in place while leering at the slayer with its glowing purple eyes. Tom just noticed that this darkling looked vastly different from the ones he fought earlier. The monster had bright purple stripes and accents all across its body that pulsed and shifted along with the creature’s normal shadowy skin. And the monster’s eyes, which were normally barely noticeable tiny dots above its mouth, were now glowing a sinister bright purple that gave them a chilling sort of emotion. An emotion that screamed of how much the monster wanted to rip any living creature to shreds.

“Well that’s bothersome…” Tom muttered nervously under his breath while staring at the shadow creature that just weathered his blessed light like it was a flashlight in its eyes. Dust Kicker laughed as he observed the distraught expression on the human’s face, and the fearful expressions on the three ponies’ faces behind the boy.

“I guess you should be more careful with who you act like a smart-ass to. It might be better for you and your friends in the long run.” The hooded pony smirked evilly while lighting up his hoof again with the flaming shadows from before.

He raised his leg in the air and paused for a moment while concentrating. He then slammed it down with great force while grunting from exertion. The glowing shadows flowed out of the stallion’s hoof and into the ground. The black substance split off into three streams and traveled forward as the pegasus strained to project it.

The streams rushed along the ground past Tom and zipped to Fluttershy and her two friends. The nervous mares moved out of the way of the moving shadows and watched them with a growing sense of alarm. The streams united under the three ponies before splitting off again and traveling to the sides and back of the nervous group.

The streams of the substance focused into three spots around the ponies, creating a circle to trap them inside. The spots slowly rose up and formed into three more darklings that stared at the ponies eagerly. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie backed into each other as they tried to get away from the beasts that were waiting eagerly for their master to give them free license over their prey.

“Let’s see how Equestria’s hero fares under pressure… Kill them!” Dust Kicker shouted to his minions with a devious smirk on his face. Tom turned around to watch the beasts snarl and growl as they reared up to jump the three ponies.

“AHHH!!” Pinkie Pie shrieked in terror as one of the darklings lunged for her. Rainbow Dash grabbed the pink mare and moved her to the side as the monster jumped past them. Fluttershy ran backwards in an attempt at getting away, when another one of the darklings cut her off.

“Girls!” Tom exclaimed in a panic as he rushed forward to assist his friends. The boy yelped in pain as the first darkling jumped forward and bit into his leg. The monster shook its head as it wrestled the human to the ground with his leg firmly placed in its mouth.

“Agh! I don’t have time for this!” Tom exclaimed through clenched teeth as he coped with the pain of the monster digging into his leg.

The slayer grabbed his sword off of the ground and plunged it into the darkling’s head. The blade impaled the creature, causing it to let go of Tom’s leg. The wound poured black smoke as the darkling slowly dissolved around the blade.

“I guess you aren’t indestructible.” The human stated with a smirk before returning his attention to the ponies fighting for their lives.

Fluttershy backed away nervously while staring at the monster in front of her with wide eyes. The beast was growling and bearing its teeth as it stared down the shy mare with its burning eyes. The yellow mare wasn’t sure what to do. On top of trying to keep herself alive, she had to worry about the entranced bunny that she was carrying with her.

As the creature jumped forward in an attempt at catching the pony off guard, Fluttershy yelped in fright and jumped to the side defensively. After barely clearing the darkling’s sharp claws, the yellow mare ran in a desperate attempt at getting away.

While running by her two other friends as they stared down their predators, Fluttershy caught the unwanted attention of the other two darklings, which bolted after their friend in order to chase the fleeing pegasus.

“Fluttershy!” Rainbow Dash cried after her frightened friend. Fluttershy looked behind her only to see three vicious creatures giving chase to her. While she was slightly glad to have lured the monsters away from her friends, the timid pony was also terrified that she was now being hunted by a pack of horrific beasts.

The yellow pegasus could feel her heart pounding out of her chest as she ignored her aching muscles and hyperventilating to continue running. She held on to Angel tightly while trying to motivate herself to run faster.

“Ooof!” Fluttershy grunted in surprise as her foot caught a tree root on the edge of the clearing. She tumbled on the ground in a painful roll before slamming into a tree with her back. The force of the impact made the frail pony’s head slam into the side of the tree as her body bent back from the momentum.

“Ugh…” The yellow mare lifted her head and tried to make sense of the blurry mess that was now her vision. As she came to her senses, Fluttershy noticed the three darklings slowly approaching their vulnerable prey.

“Eeek!” Fluttershy squeaked in fear and grabbed Angel while trying to slink backwards, only to be met by the solid tree blocking her path. The failure of her escape attempt crushed the shy pony’s very being. She knew that she was going to die, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

Fluttershy tearfully placed Angel behind the tree and hid him amid the brush in an attempt at sparing him from her gruesome fate. She then turned her attention forward and started shaking with fear as the creatures approached.

Suddenly, one of the monsters tilted sideways as something impacted it from the side. Fluttershy noticed Tom’s katana was now sticking out of the darkling’s neck, causing a fountain of black smoke to pour from the wound. The creature thrashed its head around and yelled in pain as it tried to remove the sword.

The other two darklings watched the loud commotion as their friend screeched and roared in pain. They almost seemed to be expressing confusion through their large mouths as they stared at the spectacle with blank expressions.

Just before the other two creatures could return their attention to Fluttershy, Tom leapt over the three monsters while grabbing his sword’s hilt. The human twisted the embedded blade as he flew over the beasts, causing the injured darkling to be decapitated from the blade slicing through its neck.

As Fluttershy and the two darklings shifted their glance from the dissolving creature to the slayer, he whipped his sword around and lowered it to a battle stance. The human then charged forward and kicked the two creatures to the side so he could stand between them and the helpless pegasus.

Meanwhile on the other side of the camp, Dust Kicker was watching the distant battle unfold with growing frustration. He growled under his breath before looking over to his two awestruck assistants that were glued to the action with unyielding resolve.

“Stop standing around and go get the book! We need a diversion so we can pack up and leave.” The pegasus’s sudden outburst made the two hooded ponies jump slightly in fright. They looked over to their angry leader before taking a quick glance around the camp to find where they left the book.

“Right away, Dust Kicker!” Both ponies said in unison while scrambling away to get the book. They practically tripped over each other as they tried their hardest to complete their mission quickly. Dust Kicker watched the pair fumble around with an expression of disappointment.

As the pair of hooded ponies was racing towards the front of the camp where the book was located, Rainbow Dash turned her attention from Tom’s battle with the darklings to watch the two. She furrowed her eyebrows as she thought about what the ponies’ sudden motivation could be about.

“What are those two doing?” The cyan mare thought out loud while glancing over to make sure that the human didn’t require her assistance. She then returned to observing the two ponies frantically run around the camp with an idea forming in her head.

“Raaagh!” Tom yelled as he swung his sword downwards towards one of the creatures. The beast barely managed to jump out of the way, catching the blade across its side as it traveled downward. The darkling looked at its smoking wound and growled deeply at the human.

Suddenly, the other darkling leapt at Tom in an attempt at knocking him down. Being wise to the monster’s tactic, the boy ducked down to avoid the leaping beast before reaching up and grabbing it by the leg.

Tom swung the struggling monster sideways toward its friend. The makeshift club collided with the surprised creature, causing both darklings to tumble sideways from the impact. Seeing a perfect opportunity, Tom quickly plunged his sword through the back of one of the monster’s head.

Fluttershy watched the battle with mixed feelings. She was excited, terrified, concerned, and anxious all at the same time as she observed the slayer at work. As the boy finished off the last darkling, the yellow pegasus smiled and trotted up to him to give him a cheer and to thank him for saving her life again.

“You did it Tom!” Fluttershy said while brimming with joy and excitement. Tom was happy to see the fruits of his labors as he was pulled in for a joyful hug by the elated mare. It gave him a sense of accomplishment to save the innocent ponies from certain doom.

“Thank you so much… Angel and I would be mincemeat without you.” The shy mare stated with a grateful smile as she released the human from her grip.

“Aw shucks… I’m just doing my job, no need to thank me every time.” Tom said with a bashful smile while rubbing the back of his head. Fluttershy giggled at the display of humility before giving the slayer a friendly smile.

“Well I feel the need to, so thanks again.” The yellow pony said while walking over to the tree to pick up Angel again.

“My pleasure… now let’s go have a nice friendly chat with those hooded hooligans. I wonder what they must be thinking now that I beat all of their-” Tom was interrupted by the sound of loud chanting in some strange language. He looked over to see Dust Kicker reciting from the book used to revive the deer.

Suddenly, the human and the yellow mare could hear loud moaning and growling. They looked behind them to see numerous dark figures with green eyes emerging from the deep recesses of the forest. The two backed up from the trees before giving each other a nervous expression of agreement and running away from the tree line.

“What’s going on?” Pinkie asked in a nervous tone as she watched her friends running up to her. After catching his breath for a moment, Tom started to speak up when he was interrupted by the sound of Dust Kicker laughing sinisterly.

“You guys might want to start running. I just gave every undead animal in this forest a command to hunt you down and kill you.” The hooded pegasus said with a joyful snicker while handing the book off to his two underlings.

Sure enough, as the group looked around them, they could see several zombified animals stalking out of the woods. They appeared to be much more focused and vicious than before as they snarled and leered at the ponies with their lifeless green eyes.

“Uh… girls, I think it’s time for us to go.” Tom stated nervously while watching the animals slowly advance on them. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie shared the human’s desire to run, but there was something missing that prevented them from bolting.

“Where’s Rainbow Dash?” Fluttershy asked with a sense of dread as she looked around for her cyan friend only to be greeted with more zombies in the distance around her. Before the group could think of where the cyan pegasus would be, they noticed her quickly running towards them.

“Come on guys what are you waiting for?!” Rainbow Dash said urgently while rushing past the group and into the woods. The three looked at each other with confused expressions for a second before noticing the disturbing moaning around them and running into the forest after their friend.

Dust Kicker watched the animals run after the group and disappear into the woods. He chuckled warmly to himself before sighing happily and catching his breath. He then looked over to his two colleagues with a pleased smirk.

“Alright you two, let’s pack up and take our findings back h-” The pegasus paused mid-sentence as he noticed something, or rather the lack of something, amid the two ponies.

“Where’s the book?” Dust Kicker asked in an annoyed tone. The two ponies looked beside them to the table where they had placed the book. There was no sign of the tome amid the odds and ends placed on the small table.

“What the…? Where’d it go?” The unicorn asked in confusion. The surprise in his voice made Dust Kicker clench his teeth angrily.

“I gave it to you, what the hell did you do with it?!” The blue pony asked angrily to his earth pony friend. The teal pony looked shocked from the accusation against him.

“I put it on the table like you asked! What did you do with it?!” The other stallion asked defensively while shoving the unicorn. The two ponies started yelling at each other while pushing and shoving violently. Dust Kicker watched the pair argue with progressively increasing annoyance.

The pegasus growled under his breath at the display of stupidity. He could almost feel the veins popping out of his neck as he strained his muscles in anger. The brown pony finally sighed while slapping his hoof to his face in defeat.

“I’m surrounded by idiots…” Dust Kicker stated while shaking his head slowly. He then turned around and walked away to leave the camp. He could send someone else to deal with the frustration of corralling those two simpletons into being productive and packing up the camp once he got back to the mansion.

“Hehe… suckers.” Rainbow Dash chuckled to herself as she clutched the book to her chest while running. She almost couldn’t believe that they just left it out in the open for her to take. It was like taking candy from a bunch of babies.

“What do you got there?” Tom asked in between pants as he ran a little faster to catch up with the pegasus. Rainbow Dash shifted her head to look at the boy briefly before returning her attention to the many trees the group was zipping by.

“I managed to get this bad boy away from them. I thought it might come in handy.” The pegasus said while waving the book to show it off to her friends. Tom was impressed by the cyan pony’s quick wit.

“Good thinking, we might be able to use that to stop these things once and for all.” The human said while ducking around a tree.

“You really think so?” Fluttershy asked while trying her hardest to keep up with the others. The last thing she wanted was to be left behind.

“Well they used the book to make these things, and they used it to give them commands, so I’m hoping that there is a way to kill them in there too.” The boy replied back to the concerned pegasus.

The howling and groaning coming from the woods around them was terrifying to the ponies. Just knowing that there was an army of walking corpses coming after them from all around the forest made them dart their heads around fearfully.

Suddenly, the sight of a pair of zombified wolves in front of them made the group slide to a halt. As the two animals rushed forward to attack the group, they instinctively ran to the side. Unfortunately for them, they each chose different paths.

Fluttershy looked behind her to check to see if she was still being chased. The yellow mare was shocked to see one of the wolves chasing her, but she was even more shocked to see only Rainbow Dash following her.

“Where are the others?” The nervous mare asked her cyan friend with a concerned tone. Rainbow Dash looked around before cursing under her breath at the realization that they were alone.

“I don’t know, just keep running!” The cyan pony instructed in a panicked tone while looking at the zombie wolf chasing them. Fluttershy didn’t exactly need any confirmation in order to keep running for her life. The sound of the undead creature howling and growling behind her was enough to keep the yellow pegasus motivated.

After making a few twists and turns to try and lose the beast chasing them, the two ponies quickly realized that their pursuer was too persistent to stop his pursuit. Fluttershy looked to Rainbow Dash fearfully to see if she had any ideas. The worried expression on the cyan mare’s face was very troubling to the timid pony.

“What do we do? I can’t keep running for much longer.” Fluttershy said while struggling to catch her breath. It was hard to hear amid the yellow mare’s pants and strained voice, but Rainbow Dash could tell that her voice was trembling in fear.

“I don’t know…” Rainbow stated while taking note of her own exhaustion. Suddenly, something ahead caught the cyan pony’s attention. There was a wide gap in the ground, as if a fissure had opened a pit in the earth. Looking at the size of the hole gave the pegasus an idea.

“Fluttershy, jump!” Rainbow Dash instructed to her friend as they were coming up to the hole. The yellow mare looked ahead just in time to process the situation and take action.

Both ponies leapt into the air and spread their wings. They each gave a single flap to get enough air to clear the hole. Fluttershy held onto Angel tightly to prevent him from sliding out of her grasp as she shifted her weight upwards. After landing on the other side, the two looked behind them just in time to see the undead animal plummeting into the hole after a failed attempt at jumping the gap.

It hit the bottom with a sickening thud, eliciting the ponies to peer over the edge to inspect the animal. The wolf was lying at the bottom of the hole with its legs bent at odd angles. The ponies would have thought it was dead had it not been for the gradual movement of its body as it tried to get up.

“Come on, we don’t want to be here when that thing climbs out.” Rainbow Dash spoke up to get her friend’s attention while walking away from the pit. Fluttershy gave a cursory glance to the fallen creature before following the cyan pony.

Although they weren’t out of the woods in any sense, metaphorically or literally, the ponies felt a sense of relief from their close escape from the undead wolf. They chuckled to themselves as they came down from their adrenaline high.

“That was pretty cool don’t you think? We almost did that perfectly in sync.” Rainbow Dash smirked happily at their escape from the creature. Fluttershy couldn’t help but feel joyful as well considering how satisfying it was to evade the zombie.

“Yeah, I’m glad you thought of that before we hit that hole. I don’t think I would’ve been able to think of flying over it in the heat of the moment.” The yellow mare chuckled nervously as she thought of what might have happened.

“Don’t be so hard on yourself Fluttershy. You did an amazing job back there.” The cyan pegasus praised her friend. Fluttershy looked down and blushed bashfully. She didn’t expect to be given such praise from doing something like that.

“Now we just need to find the others so Tom can read this book and stop these things.” Rainbow Dash said while looking at the book she tightly held.

“I hope they’re alright…” Fluttershy spoke in a worried tone while thinking about her friends in danger. Rainbow Dash frowned as she thought about what could have happened to the two after they were separated.

“I’m sure they will be fine. Tom wouldn’t let anything happen to Pinkie after all.” The cyan pegasus said in an attempt at cheering the timid pony up. Fluttershy felt a little bit better knowing that the pink mare was with the human.

Suddenly, a blood curdling scream pierced through the forest. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy paled when they recognized the owner of the high pitched scream.

“Pinkie!” They announced in unison with their eyes wide with fear.
