Gems, Recognition, and A Lot of Explosives

by Tempered Steel
A strange quest request from the princesses themselves and a bountiful treasure equals danger, consequences, and certain death for most ponies. Fortunately, most ponies aren't like Applejack and her crew.

Everypony wants it now and then. The feeling, the feeling of the air blowing in their mane and the adrenaline of facing certain death for the glory of an ancient treasure. Sadly, most ponies are a too cowardly for a mission that is too herculean even for the toughest of stallions.

But most ponies aren't anything near Applejack.

With her farm far behind her and adventure in her blood, she sets out to find the only thing that pirates of this era have been searching for their entire lives, Blackblood's Gems. With her crew by her side and an infinite amount of explosives in stock, she's sure to take what is rightfully hers.

That is, if she can take down haywire titan clockwork ponies, defeat an old enemy, and most importantly, not dying!
