Previous Chapter

Rarity, Applejack, Applebloom, and Vex all went down the stairs. As they went Rarity used the spell telekinesis with her horn to pick up the bodies as they went down the steps. Vex actually didn't notice the horn so he was first surprised as the bodies were magically picked up. Applebloom was talking to Applejack as they went down. Vex didn't pay attention much but they were talking about if other members of the Apple family made it. It actually sounded like they were the only ones left with names of uncle and aunt orange to there closes family member granny smith dead from the illness. As they got down the steps a large red fur horse with blonde mane and tail.

"This is Macintosh," said Applejack, "but we call him Big Mac. May I ask you were was you in this." Big Mac looked out of a window in the door in the living room. Vex looked out more. Outside were apple trees were one of them had recently looked like it was bucked of its apples. Vex then noticed that Big Mac had a basket of apples on his back. Rarity had then opened the door and tossed out the rotting corpses outside with her horn still.

"So how do you guys know each other miss?" asked Vex.

"Its Applejack," replied Applejack, "and related cause he's my brother, oh and that's my sister Applebloom even though you've met her already." Vex looked at Mac who nodded hello then looked at Applebloom.

"Hello," said Applebloom who waved at the same time with her hoof.

"Hey," yelled Applejack who opened a door near the stairs. "This way um."

"Its Vex" replied Vex.he then followed Applejack in to the door which was greeted with steps down to a basement. The basement was a bit dark only illuminated with a candle that was just lit by Applejack. The room was filled with old little things like small furniture and and antiques. Applejack then pulled a chair out with her mouth then started trying to spit out the dust. Vex did the same thing and sat in his chair then Applejack.

"Let me ask you some things," started Applejack, " do you know the elements of harmony?"

"Yeah" replied Vex,

"Do you know who they are or what they look like?"

"I only know of Princess Twilight and she governs magic. The other ones are loyalty, generosity, kindness, laughter, and honesty. I only know what the gems look like, but I don't know who have then. Can I ask why your asking me this?"

Applejack sighed.

"Alright," began Applejack, "most of us here are part of the elements of harmony. The ones who isn't an element is may siblings and Frank who's that light brown pony." Vex stared at her thinking if she's telling the truth. He got up and used his horn to put away the chair behind him.

"Prove it," said Vex. Applejack had un-button her shirt revealing a gold necklace with a gem that was orange but looked like it was shaped an apple.

"Believe me now," replied Applejack

"Okay, were everyone else's?"

"Most likely in there bags that y'all carried in here."

"Okay I'm listening."

"Good," Applejack then got up and trotted to a map at the corner of the room. "How long have you been out here with the forgetters?"

"Who are they?" replied Vex.

"There what we call those things that are the walking dead," answered Applejack, "any more questions?"

"Yeah, were are the other elements if its only you four?"

"I'm getting to that. So hold on to all you questions till I'm done. Now since Dash is injured and unable I need you to do something big for me. I need you to go to northwest to a place called filly camp. There you'll find the other elements."

"Wait?" Vex interrupted "why?"

"Cause you and Frank are the only good enough fighters that we have. I need you and him to travel up there and escort the other elements. A pink fur and pink tail and mane who's name is Pinkie Pie, and the other is Twilight Sparkle."

"Wait, I'm not sure if I can do this?"

"I thought you may say that, so if you are do what you told we'll give you so many of apples that you will never scavenge again until they rot." Vex remembered the trees out back and druled at the thought of having that many apples.

"Yeah," said Vex "I'll do it."

"Good," said Applejack "Oh, and one more thing."

"What?"

"Never head inland or east or north."

"Why?" Applejack sighed

"Its better if you don't know" finished Applejack.
