Applejack (3)
Previous Chapter"Granny Smith was right about one thing. We will change the world." - Applejack.
Applejack's enemy was split into two, and now both sides were about to attack her.
What are you going to do?" Apple Bloom said.
"I don't know!" Applejack wailed back. "Is there anything I can do?"
"Hey Dung!" Rainbow Dash called out. "Is this a fair fight?"
"It's fair enough so that you can defeat it," Dung Beetle replied.
"Alright then, looks like I have to give it my best shot," Applejack said. "Rarity, do you have that battle shawl with you?"
"Yes I do," Rarity said, slinging the shawl over Applejack's shoulders, "Best of luck."
Meanwhile, both mushrooms prepared their swords and charged towards Equextria.
"I can only take out one of them," Applejack said. "But which one has the vital point?"
"You better decide soon!" Rainbow Dash said.
"But if Applejack attacks the wrong one, we're done for!" Flash Sentry said.
Suddenly, the blue capped mushroom held its sword to its body to protect itself.
"What's it doing?" Fluttershy asked.
"I think it's trying to defend itself from any attacks," Twilight Sparkle said.
"If it's trying to defend itself, then that one must have the vital point," Rarity said.
"But it could be a trap!" Twilight Sparkle said.
"Then I best hold my ground," Applejack said, making Equextria assume a defensive position.
"Even if you go on the full defensive, there's no way you can prevent one of the mushrooms from attacking you," Scootaloo said, "We need to figure out which one to attack!"
"And we're screwed if we get it wrong!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Then I guess I'll have to make a gamble," Applejack said.
"You mean you're going to try to outwit a robot?" Princess Celestia asked.
"What other choice do I have?" Applejack answered. "Now let's see how they respond."
While Applejack focused on the blue mushroom, the yellow mushroom came up from behind and decapitated Equextria, sending its head sailing into the distance.
"Our head flew off!" Rainbow Dash cried.
"Are we alright?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Yeah, that wasn't where our vital point is," Applejack said. She then faced the yellow mushroom.
"Ya little varmint!" Applejack yelled. "If you won't come straight at us, then you must have the vital point!"
Equextria impaled the yellow capped mushroom with its hoof. Both of the robots went limp and fell to the ground, with the lights on the top of their caps disappearing. Princess Celestia let out a sigh of relief.
"Well done Applejack," Princess Luna said as the orange void around them reappeared, "Your bravery will be remembered throughout Equestria."
"I wish the best of luck to the rest of y'all," Applejack replied as her cutie mark changed back to normal. "Granny Smith was right about one thing. We will change the world."
"Applejack!" Apple Bloom cried out. "Don't go! Don't leave me alone!"
"You're not alone, Apple Bloom," Applejack said, hugging her sister. "You have your friends and the rest of your family. They'll keep you safe."
"But... but..." Apple Bloom stammered.
"Since I've won my battle, there's something I've been wondering about." Applejack said to the group.
"What is it?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"Remember back when Cadance's battle was going on?" Applejack continued. "She lured her enemy toward a mountain and trapped him when she got the chance."
"I liked that battle!" Derpy Hooves said with a smile.
"I think the same thing happened to me," Applejack said. "The enemy fell for my trickery, which probably means they're more than just a robot. They must have a heart, just like us."
"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Sorry everyone, looks like my time is up," Applejack said with a smile. "Thanks for everythin'."
Almost immediately after Applejack's lifeless body hit the ground, Apple Bloom came up and began sobbing over it.
"No... no... no!" Apple Bloom wept. "You were the only family I had left!"
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle went up and hugged their devastated friend.
"What about Granny Smith, dear?" Rarity asked.
"We didn't get the chance to tell you about it during this battle, but she passed away today," Apple Bloom said. "Now with everyone gone but me, I'm not sure what will happen to our farm now."
"I'll get in contact with the Apple Family," Twilight Sparkle said. "I'm sure they'll send down some close relatives to take care of you for the time being."
"And if they can't, you can stay at my house," Fluttershy said, hugging Apple Bloom.
"We'll see to it that your remaining days are filled with comfort, Apple Bloom." Princess Celestia said.
"It's nice that everyone is trying to help me and all, but I don't want to be a burden for anyone." Apple Bloom said.
"You don't mean..." Rainbow Dash gasped.
"Dung Beetle, select me next," Apple Bloom demanded with a look of resolve.
"Sorry, but no can do," Dung Beetle said. "The pilot order is chosen at random."
"Speaking of which, we should find out who the next pilot is any minute now," Flash Sentry said.
"I wonder who it will it be," Twilight Sparkle said.
"Well then," Scootaloo said, sadly stepping forward, "I guess I finally got my cutie mark."
