Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition

Laboring in the orchard, Applejack, worked away trying to keep her mind off of the humans. In a way she grew fond of Ray and the others, and she was worried about how much trouble they would get into if left unattended. As she bucked a tree she caught sight of a human sitting in one of the trees. When her hooves planted on the ground she walked over to the human.

“Huh? Who are ya?” Applejack asked.

“Neither a foe, nor an ally…at least not yet. The name is Ryan.” Ryan said.

“What’re ya doin’ up there?” Applejack asked. He snapped his fingers and appeared beside Applejack. This sudden use of magic startled her.

“Well I was admiring the view, it’s quite colorful here.” Ryan said.

“Does anypony know yer here?” Applejack asked.

“Nope. As a matter of fact none of my friends, except for Gavin and Ray, know I’m here.” Ryan said. He took Applejack’s hat placed it on his head then flew up a little bit. “My intentions are not very good if I must be frank. From what I gather from this world, you are a very honest pony.”

“How do ya know ‘bout that?” Applejack asked. Ryan poofed back down to Applejack and placed her hat back on her head then poofed up a book.

“I’ve done some light reading while I waited around for some stuff to be done.” Ryan said. He chucked the book and it exploded in the distance. “I know for a fact you love your family too.”

“Yeah, what’s it to ya?” Applejack asked.

“I want to make a proposition,” Ryan said.

“Ah really should git Princess Luna.” Applejack said.

“No, that won’t be necessary.” Ryan said.

“Why?” Applejack asked.

“Just listen to me.” Ryan said.

“Ah’m listenin’.” Applejack said.

“I would like for you to help me with a little thing.” Ryan said.

“Like what?” Applejack asked.

“I want you to help me take over Equestria.” Ryan proposed.

“What?” Applejack asked.

“I know this comes as a surprise to you, and you’ll probably say no then run off to get the other so you can figure out how to stop me, but let me say it won’t be that easy.” Ryan said. Applejack took a step back but Ryan restrained her with his magic. “I understand that you don’t want to help me. However if you don’t help me there shall be some dire consequences that may follow, like for instance your little sister is on the moon with her friend and my friend. You don’t want her to be trapped up there forever.”

“Git her back here.” Applejack growled.

“Or what? I have you restrained by magic.” Ryan said.

“Ah’ll…Ah’ll think of somethin’.” Applejack said. She struggled and Ryan smiled at her.

“Oh dear sweet Applejack, I promise I won’t harm her nor any member of your family.” Ryan said.

“Wait what?” Applejack asked.

“I won’t harm any of them, as long as you serve me.” Ryan said.

“Never. Ah would never help harm pony folk!” Applejack yelled.

“It’s not like I need your help. However I won’t harm your sister…she’s cute.” Ryan said. Applejack stopped struggling then looked at him. “However, you will become my pawn whether you like it or not.”

“You don’t mean.” Applejack said.

“I like you Applejack, you are hardworking and you are the least colorful out of all of your friends. I won’t harm your family but you are going to serve me, King Ryan.” Ryan said. He snapped his fingers and then just like when Discord put Applejack under his spell, Ryan put Applejack under his spell.

“Ah will serve you King Ryan.” Applejack said.

“For now, you shall await orders. Diverting the attention away from me and my intentions.” Ryan said.

“Yes my liege.” Applejack said.

“I’ll take care of your sister.” Ryan said.

“As long as nothin’ harms mah family, Ah shall follow ya to the end.” Applejack said.

“Good. I must be off.” Ryan said.

“Best of luck my liege.” Applejack said. As soon as Ryan snapped his fingers, he was gone then Applejack returned back to normal. “What jus’ happened?” She went back to work without any recollection of the conversation between her and the Mad King. The spell went dormant until her new master called upon her.
