Description Summary:
Applejack's Orchard was flooded with the Vampire Fruit Bats, and it's up to the Mane 6 to stop them before all her crops were losed.

Before review:
Before we review this episode that has some flaws for anypony reading this and has many flaws for me...
and we have ALOT to discuss.

____________________
Review:
The episode starts with Applejack waiting for the sunrise to begin her Applebucking Day.

When the sun rose, she begins immediately.

After she bucks the tree, Something... dark happened.
AJ now relizes the apples were all rotted up... which means allowing the Vampire Fruit Bats to come back since a long time ago. *Ahem! Granny Smith's Backstory!*

(I was going to re-edit the intro to "Bats!", but i have no time for this. DERP!)

After the intro, We cut to the Mane 6 all gathered at Sweet Apple Acres to tell them about the Bats returned to rotten up more apples.

And AJ really didn't want the bats to get her (I Quote) "Prize Winning Apple" (End Quote)

AJ told Fluttershy to tell the bats to leave the big apple alone,

but...
...
... It Didn't.

Fluttershy went back to AJ to tell her that they said No.
And then... the worstest song for me (and best for others) that will harm Fluttershy's feelings happened.

Sure some bronies agrees with Fluttershy and stays on Fluttershys side... i'm on Fluttershys Side, too.

after the song ends, Fluttershy asks AJ to let the bats have part of the Orchard... but, AJ disagrees.

Then, we fade into Twilight's Library where Twilight makes a plan to cast her "spell" on the bats...
but in order to do that, they need Fluttershys stare to do it.

Fluttershy dislikes the idea... And (the major part of this episode) the Mane 5 started to be mean to Fluttershy...

back to Sweet Apple Acres, Fluttershy agrees and they begin to "Stop The Bats"...
...
After Twilight cast her spell on the bats while Fluttershy uses her stare and the plan succeeded, something went wrong with Fluttershy...

The next morning, The Same thing happened, but... the spell didn't work.

so they planned to do "a steak out" to find out whoever or whatever destroyed her apples.

then, after long search... IT CAME! FLUTTERBAT! THE BAT PONY THAT THE MANE 5 DIDN'T RECOGNIZE WELL!

The Mane 5 made a plan to use the reversal spell on Fluttersh- Wait... did i say "Fluttershy"? I ment "FLUTTERBAT"- and it worked... also, AJ was worrying about Fluttershy at the very end for some reason... and I wonder why?

The next morning, AJ build the bats their sanctuary and apologizes to Fluttershy for not taking her suggestion in the first place.

in Fluttershy's Cottage, they wrote on the book of their lesson: "You shouldn't pressure on anypony of thinking it's not the right thing to do."

After a funny thing from Pinkie, a fang from Fluttershys teeth showed... meaning part of the Bat Pony blood still running through her somewhere...

and the episode ends.

__________________________
My Major Complaints:

Almost throughout the entire episode, the Mane 5 was being mean to Fluttershy and she didn't even know what to do in this point.
The Mane 5 didn't regonize Fluttershy now that shes turned into a Bat Pony fully.
Applejack acting like a "Bad Pony" almost throughout the entire episode.
The Song "Stop The Bats" is just to mean-spirited to my Fluttershy... that is why i didn't like the Song and this episode in the first place.

And the Mane 5 didn't take Fluttershys opinion in the first place.

__________________________
How "Bats!" really should've ended:

After Rarity saying, "I believe Applejack have made a fair argument. These Vampire Fruit Bats seems DOWNRIGHT DREADFUL!"
Fluttershy was triggered now that Rarity calls the bats 'dreadful' and 'icky' later on.
Before they're ready to prepare to stop the bats before they destroyed the orchard though,
Fluttershy says (like she did to the dragon from "Dragonshy"), "How dare you."
The Mane 5 stopped.
AJ turned around and says, "Ah beg your-"
Fluttershy cuts AJ and yells, "HOW DARE YOU!"
And so, Fluttershy stands up to the Mane 5, confidently.
Fluttershy steps closer to AJ while saying,

"LISTEN HERE, MISS! JUST BECAUSE YOUR AN APPLE, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BECOME A BULLY!
YOU MAY HAVE A PLAN TO STOP THE BATS, BUT YOU DO NOT!
I REPEAT.

YOU DO NOT! HURT! THOSE! BATS!

You got that?"

AJ was nervous...

Fluttershy says, "Well?"

Finally, AJ responded, "But the bats are destroying the orchard."

Fluttershy said calmly, "And i am very sorry about that. But you're brave enough, and you should know better.
You should also be honest enough to know that you're harming other creatures to do the harvest for you."

AJ responded, "But, Ah-"
But Fluttershy cuts her off saying in a more serious tone, "Don't you 'But I' me, AJ. Now, what do you have to say to yourself?"
AJ didn't responded.
Fluttershy says once again, "I said, WHAT do you have to say to yourself?"

AJ gulps and turns to RD.
"Do we have to?" ask Rainbow Dash.
AJ turns back to Fluttershy, and sighs.

Later on, AJ finally builds the bats their sanctuary before apologizing to Fluttershy... just like the end of this episode.
