Setting: The deer village, parts of Whitetail Woods, Elder's teepee. The opening scene would work best sometime in the morning, the ending being set at dusk.
Summary: A creature is destroying the deer village, Twilight teams up with Treebark and the deer warriors. Treebark defeats one of the beasts, another one comes, and Treebark, being a unicorn, uses his magic to defeat the second monster.
Opening Scene: Twilight, having read about the deer community, is on her way to visit Whitetail Woods. She's intercepted though by the silent warriors. They ask her to leave, when she tells them she's come from Ponyville and she wants to study the deers' habitat, they say sorry, but it's a bad time. Apparently, a creature has been terrorizing their village. She says she can help, she shows them her magic, they relinquish and guide her to the village.
Act I: We enter on the village, [Really showcasing everything, this script is primarily set there] Twilight is amazed at how they live, with some modern conveniences, but mostly lean-tos and teepees. Twilight meets with the village Elder, she had seen the destruction the beast had done, so she volunteers her magic. The Elder is grateful, she nerds out a bit, asking irrelevant questions, but she focuses up when she notices Treebark entering the Elder's teepee, as a young warrior, he's informing the Elder of damage reports, casualties, etc.
Twilight freaks a bit, calms down and asks the Elder about him when he leaves, "Ah yes, only a matter of time before a pony would come wandering in and ask about Treebark," he explains that his adoptive parents found him in the Woods as a baby. They accepted him as their own, knowing that one day he would come to know his true identity as a pony. He grew up strong, taught the deer way of being one with the forest, and eventually accepted as a warrior-in-training. [If you're wondering, the Treebark I'm using is older, if you consider the CMC maybe 9, then he is at least 12, also this would be a flashback pretty much]
There is commotion from outside as they hear a ferocious roar from the border of the village, Twilight rushes outside, seeing the monstrosity, she panics for a moment, but her resolve is found with the warriors who have gathered in formation to fight the beast. [Among them Treebark] Rushing at them, the beast tears through houses as he goes, zero ******** given mode, the warriors try spears but they don't do much, Treebark manages to get him right in the eye, he tumbles, crushing more homes, covering his eye, he starts charging away, to recover for the time being. [I would have him kill some deer, but that wouldn't be MLP:FiM acceptable]
Twilight walks over to Treebark, the other warriors are congratulating him on his hit, Twilight asks him if she could talk to him privately, [As mentioned previously, this an older Treebark, and a much more badass version, adding to this, he's a unicorn, it's essential to the ending I have planned out] Twilight explains his predicament, Treebark is shocked, he goes to talk with his deer parents, they confirm it, unsure of what to do, he visits the Elder, finding Twilight there as well, he talks about his newfound realization, when TB asks the Elder what to do about it, he replies with, "Why don't you ask yourself that? Your true identity is within you."
Act II: TB walks around the village with TS, discussing Ponyville, she asks if he would like to visit, he declines, but says he would have to go eventually. As they walk, warriors rush past them, TB run up to them asking what's wrong, "There's another one, Treebark, it arrived shortly after the one you hit with spear left," [Why wouldn't they have seen it or heard it? The village is spread out, not in a clearing or anything. Some parts are, but mostly it's dirt paths connecting the houses with trees surrounding everything. The first monster fight scene was in a clearing]
TB and TS go with the warriors reaching the point where the monster has created a clearing by knocking down a ton of trees, Twilight gets to work this time, confusing the beast by teleporting around him, sending small projectiles to hit him in the head. Eventually fed up, the monster rushes at the warriors, knocking them down before they react. [I haven't suggested a monster because I see it as kinda pointless, writing this has given me some ideas, possibly a minotaur, troll, giant, cyclops etc. some sort of large beast who can charge very fast. I really don't know so suggestions will help.]
Twilight tries to rush to their aid, but the beast, having speed on his side, knocks her to the side, not caring in the slightest. Looking around, the situation looks hopeless, the beast turns to Treebark, they eye each warily, the beast being aware of his fellow beast's injury from this deer pony, "Leave monster, you know what I did to the other one of your kind, leave this village and it's people, before I do the same to you." [Considering giving the monster dialogue, perhaps some sort of intelligence, but that would mean having to give more backstory as to why they want the village destroyed, so for the time being it will remain voiceless]
Act III: The monster, undeterred, charges at him, Treebark takes a stance, and from within him, releases a wave of magic that sends the beast flying back, the creature, landing rough, bouncing, and coming to a rest, unconscious, at the end of self-made clearing.
The warriors and TS recover, Twilight bounds the beast with rope, and the warriors carry him off. Twilight talks to Treebark [Just a thought, but since this is a badass version, Treebark doesn't really fit, badass tree names requested] about the magic he used against the beast, commenting that it was incredibly powerful. She asks him again to come to Ponyville, train with her. He accepts, but the use of the magic has drained him significantly and he stumbles, Twilight tries to help him. He shrugs her off "After a rest, I'll be fine," they reach the road back to Ponyville, Treebark tells her to come back in a few days, then they will train.
Episode ends with Treebark staring at Twilight walking down the road, with Ponyville in the distance.
Characters: Treebark's personality is fairly mature, not particularly shy, he's a strong independent deerpony, who don't need no white pony. Twilight is inquisitive, helpful, and concerned of Treebark's existence as a deerpony. The Elder is wise and old.
