The viewership of this story is obviously sham.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS:
• This is no clop nor is it in any way related to a sponge, a squid and a crab in Bikini Bottom;
• Don't even give it a try if you don’t like classic SciFi (~ 1950);
• My style is certainly quaint (read: clunky);
• The cover image has hardly anything to do with the story;

Now you’ve been warned! :-)

Applejack discovers a strange hole in one of her orchard.
Inside lies a small and weird berry, that will soon turn out to be one of the most ruthless and threatening opponent Equestria has ever known.
All implacable enemies are not evil… nor clever.
