Applejack was now in the cellar of her house, along with Carrot Top. Hiding from what was now outside in the fields. Hiding from the unknown that had come to Equestria.....

Hiding from being captured again.

Applejack still remembered the Caribou invasion, when she was overpowered by the invaders, stripped, collared, humiliated and then raped by one of the High lords, Ivangir. She still remembered crying after she was returned to her brother. Remembering trying to kill herself after discovering that her little sister, Applebloom, was taken by the Caribou and was being used by those damn unicorns, Flim and Flam.

Now she was seeing a new invasion, by unknown forces that might as well be even worse then the Caribou.

Her brother had gone out to try and see if he could rescue anyone. After he had left, she decided to prepare for the worse cause and had asked Carrot Top to start getting things ready for all of them to leave when her brother came back.

It was not a idea she liked; being force to leave Sweet Apple Acres, her birthplace, her Home. She hated the very idea for being forced to run away from her home and perhaps not coming back ever again. The very idea scared her, Scared her more then anything the Caribou ever done.

She had been in the process of packing a few food items when she heard Carrot Top scream out her name. Applejack ran over to where she was and saw her point out the window, a look of horror on her face. Applejack looked out the same window and saw what had scared the poor pony.

One of the odd flying vehicles was landing just a few feet from the house!

Applejack first had to go to the main barn, where a few purple collars that were given to Big Mac by Gunne were kept. She unlocked the master lock and let the purples lose. Then she took Carrot Top by the Arm and raced into the Cellar, where they were hiding in now.

Outside, Applejack could hear the sounds of the Purples screeching and laughing and the sound of metal being hit and the odd 'Pew pew" sound that she did not know. Applejack soon saw a small window and decided to see out of it. walking quietly, Applejack peaked through it and saw what she could only call a Massacre on both sides.

The Purples were going berserk on a group of strange metallic beings. The mad mares were poncing on some of them, trying to rip them apart, only to be taken out by strange red bolts of light that hit them, leaving only smoking holes in them.

One of the Purple collars, a mare only known as Screw-lose, was shaking her head, holding an arm of one of the strange beings in her mouth when she was hit with the red light bolts. the poor mare fell down, slayed by the odd invaders. It was then that Applejack saw the thing that had killed the Purple collared mare.

The thing was standing on three claw-like legs that were connected to it's roundish lower body. The upper half reminded Applejack of a Cobra's hooded head or a praying mantis. the arms did not have hands, but two odd looking things that were smoking after it had shot Screw-lose with the red light bolts. It stood there for a second and then curled up into a wheel and then rolled away, much to her shock.

"A.J?" Carrot Top asked, her voice full of fear. "W--w-what is going on?" tears were forming in her eyes as she looked at Applejack. fear showing in them.

Applejack was about to answer when she hear the sound of the front door being opened violently and the sound of footsteps, Metallic foot steps, on the floor. strange sounding voices sounded from outside in the living room, much to Applejack's horror.

They were inside the house!

"Quick! Hide!" she hissed to Carrot Top as she quietly ran to a stack of boxes and went behind them. Carrot ran to a corner area next to an old stove.

Above, Applejack could hear the voices come close to the cellar door. They did not sound like any pony or caribou, in fact the voices did not sound like anything she had ever heard.

It was then that the Cellar door opened with a bang! the door itself being knocked out of the door-frame and falling down into the cellar. Light was coming in from the upstairs as she heard the sound of heavy metallic footsteps starting to come down. Applejack peeked out from behind the boxes and saw the shadow of something coming own the stairs and then the thing.

It was a large bulky being, grayish in color with it's right arm in a 'fist pump' position. it looked larger then a full grown caribou or even Big Mac. the thing looked to be made entirety out of metal! It was unlike anything she had heard about or seen, not even Lyra's stories of those 'hu-mons' that were said to live at the cursed Mount Kam-Geddo were like this thing.

It was followed by another metal being much like it. "Cheek in the corners and behind everything for any ponies." it said in a monotone mechanical voice.

"Roger, Roger." the second one answered as it started to head for the corner where Carrot Top was hiding.

Suddenly, the poo mare bolted out, screaming in fear at the metal being and trying to run from it, only for it to turn and fire a blue ring of what she thought was magic at her from it's now outstretched right arm. She fell to the floor and did not get up.

"Carrot Top!" Applejack Screamed, which was her mistake as the two metal beings now turned to her, one of them now pointing its Arm-weapon at her.

"Don't move." it said, approaching her.

It was then that Applejack started seeing not a metal thing, but in her mind, it was Ivangir, the very Caribou who she hated above all, save for Dainn. He was the one that stole her virginity, that made her walk in that damned military Parade that proclaimed 'victory' for the Caribou. Her mind replayed everything, the brutal gangrapes, the humiliation, the pain of penises being forced into her pussy and anal hole.

Something with her Applejack finally snapped!

CD-6179 hated this.

Even for a Battle Droid there were times that one would dislike their lot in life, even if it was part of their programing. For See-Dee, it was the mundane task of being a commander. Namely being in command of a bunch of over sized mis-programmed idiots.

And it was not his type; The B-1 Battle Droids he was talking about, it was the B-2 Supers.

Sure he and his fellow B-1s were not the brightest droids in the known Galaxy, but the B-2s were nothing but brawn over brains. They did not listen to orders of B-1 commanders, thinking them inferior. They had the bad habit of bowling down other droids, not understanding tactics and just plain rude.

And he was here, commanding ten of them, well, nine as one of them was taken down by one of the female equines with a purple collar. In fact over 12 droids were destroyed by the crazed natives before they were put down as directed by the Central Control Computer on the Lucrehulk -class Droid Control Ship Stockbroker and by orders of Count Dooku and General Grievous.

Yet he was also thinking why would the purple collared equines be lose? Intel stated that the purple collared females were mostly kept in cages, pins or on leashes all of the time because they were totally insane and them getting out by themselves was impossible as their mental state was that of a very young organic. So they had to have been let out, which meant that the being who let them out was still somewhere in the area of the farm they had landed in.

See-Dee, three fellow B-1s and four B-2s had now entered the structure, which seemed to be a dwelling for the Equines. The main habitation room seemed to have a lot of furnishing and a lot of pictures and paintings, most of them pictures and paintings of some odd red fruit that was native to the planet.

Did they have some odd fruit fetish or something?

While he was looking at the pictures, two of the Supers had knocked down a door that lead to the cellar. It was then that See-Dee's Audio Receptors picked up the sounds of a blaster being fired and the sound of something hitting the floor. No doubt the B-2s had captured an equine that had hidden in the cellar.

Then came the sound of something screaming and them the sound of something being smashed.

"What was that?" one of the other B-1s asked.

Then suddenly, one of the B-2s that went to the Cellar flew out, screaming before hitting a wall and landing in it's ass. A Large hole in it's armored torso.

"What the-" See-Dee started to say as the damaged B-2 was trying to get up. Suddenly something bolted out of the cellar, yelling and screaming.

If he didn't know better, See-Dee would have thought that it was a Wookiee.

The blur rushed to the fallen Super Battle Droid and in one swift motion, lifted it up and then ripped it in to two!

See-Dee then saw that the thing was a female Equine, one with a red collar on it's neck, yet it was very muscular and had the shape of a warrior female. The brownish-orange colored female had a look of total anger and hate on it's face.

The two other B-2s turned and raised their arm blasters, only for the female to turn towards them and tossed the two halves of the destroyed Super Battle Droid at them, felling them before leaping on them and then punching through their armored bodies and ripping out vial parts.

"RUN FOR IT!" one of the other B-1s yelled, rushing out with the others as the equine turned at them, her eyes blazing with unholy flames.

The last thing See-Dee saw was the angered Equine punching right through his own body, before he deactivated forever.

Applejack saw nothing but red.

She had never felt anger like this in her life. Not even when the Flim-Flam brothers tried to takeover Sweet Apple Acres or when Starlight took her cutie mark had she felt such anger and hate as she was feeling now. Even as she was attacking and ripping the metal beings apart, all she saw were the faces of Ivangir, Dainn and The Flim-Flams.

This was pure hate.

She ran outside the house after destroying one of the thinner metal beings, encountering a lot more heading her way. She did not care as she was in a berserker mode. Her anger fueled by the horror of he rape by Ivangir, the humiliation of being forced to suck Dainn's dick and the disgust at seeing what the Flim-Flams did to her own sister!

She would kill them all! But She would start with these things that invaded her farm!

She charged right into the metal beings, grabbing one by the arm and swinging it like a bat while it screamed in terror. the metal beings were firing their strange weapons, trying to hit her. The shots kept missing her as she started tearing through more of the things, punching through many, ripping them apart.

In her mind, it was Ivangir, Dainn, Shining Armor and all the other sick monsters that dared to claim to be males. She would rip those bastards apart, along with those traitors like Rarity and Candace and all others who bows to the Caribou.

She was in such a battle rage that she failed to see one of the rolling metal things uncurled and aiming its arm weapons at her. It fired.

The powerful blasts stuck her right leg hard, blasting the lower part of it to bits and leaving a burnt stump were her knee would have been.

Applejack fell on her rear, the pain from her leg being blown off returned her to reality and to a world of pain. She screamed like a feral horse, holding her damaged leg. Her shin was totally gone and the knee was now a cauterized stump.

Applejack looked up, fear and pain her her face as the metal beings advanced on her, weapons aimed at her. She knew that they were going to KILL her!

This was the end of her life.

Suddenly it was stopped

"LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!"

One of the metallic soldiers turned and got a punishing punch, knocking it's head off, while blaster bolts started flying at them and striking a few as the metal beings fired back, only to get attacked by the two beings the her ripping through them.

Through the tears of pain, Applejack could see who it was that had come to her rescue.

Fluttershy and Cheerilee were holding the weapons that the enemy had, using them to blast the mechanical monsters left and right while the large Caribou warrior, Thungrox, was swinging a battle ax, chopping thought the invaders like trees.

But it was the one that Applejack saw that made her have hope again as Big Mac was fighting the metal beings, punching and kicking and ripping them to shreds, tying to get through to Applejack, which was not as hard as it sounded as pieces of the metal beings flew everywhere.

Soon enough, the last of the metallic fiends had been disposed of and Big mac went over to his fallen sister. "You ok, Sis?" the Big Stallion asked.

"C-Carrot Top....in cellar." She said, trying to speak through the pain.

Thungrox had heard her and went into the house. a few seconds later he came out with the Body of Carrot Top as Fluttershy came rushing over and checked on it, feeling for a pulse and turning to the others.

"She is only knocked out!" Fluttershy said.

"We need to get out of here!" Cheerilee said, pointing over to the direction of Ponyville, "There are more of those bloody Droids heading this way!"

"Then lets be on our way then." Big Mac said, holding Applejack in his arms as he raced to where the War Beast was.

Applejack was still in Big Mac's arms as they rode off from what was once their home. the sound of the clanking of metal feet as more of those things, 'Droids' Cheerilee had called them, were marching in the road towards the farm. Turning her head to where they were going, Applejack saw smoke rising from the right side of them and they were heading into an area that was not on fire.....

An area of the dreaded Everfree Forest, now seemingly the only safe place in Equestria.

Invisible Hand

The report that had just came in was something that Dooku had been waiting for.

Before the invasion had started, his allies had spies in Equestria to find out more about the effects of the Crystal itself, mainly on other races. From what a few on Epona had told his agents, it seemed that the Crystal mainly effected equine, such as Unicorns, Pegasi, Earth Ponies and Zebras. Changelings were not as much effected by the Crystal save for it acting like a mild poison as the insectoid creatures feed on love, with lust being a bit toxic to them. a race known as Donkeys were not even effected by the Crystal. The Corruption that was used with the Crystal also had no effect on those that were strong willed among the ponies. It did have a slight effect on Griffins.

He had also had his agents take a few 'Corruption Crystals', slivers of the Crystal itself and captured by his agents when the Invasion started, to test on a few POWs, three clones, two Republic Spies (a Bith and a Falleen) and a captured Jedi Knight. No effect on them what so ever. Which was good news to Dooku.

he was already planning on sending another person down to the planet and she was already on her way down in her Ginivex- class Starfighter. Dooku had even her orders to get rid of one pest on the planet that had not go. The Force Shield user: Shining Armor.

"LET GO OF ME YOU DAMNED BUCKETS OF SCRAP!" the young filly screamed as the two Droids were dragging her away from the Bordello that was now being turned into a bloodbath.

Apple Bloom was struggling to escape the grasp of these weird beings that had landed in her hometown and had blasted a good part of it into ruin.

The two perverted bastards, Flim and Flam, had taken her to Pinkie's Bordello to be 'used' by 'costumers' . In short, to be raped and molested by the perverted monsters that helped the Caribou take over Equestria.

Then these things came and they were dragging her off to who knows where and what she was seeing would scar any foal for life.

The metal beings were rounding up caribou and stallions, some of the stallions were being taken somewhere while teh rest, along with the Caribou males, were being killed, blasted by bolts of light. The Caribou cows were also being killed, along with a few females.

Mr. Cake was being dragged off, tears of grief and anger flowed from his eyes.

"YOU BASTARDS!" He was yelling, trying to break free from the grip of the mechanical things, "YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED MY WIFE!!!!!!"

The two beings holding Apple Bloom stopped a bit, this was the chance Apple Bloom needed as she soon kicked at the metal legs of the alien beings. The two fell down, letting go of the little filly and she ran, heading back up stairs to the room she knew that Sweetie Bell had to be in.

She raced to the very door, the sound of metal feet behind her and the mechanical voices trying to make her stop. She reached the door and kicked it open before racing into the room.

What she saw made her stop.

Hanging on a rope, was the body of Sweetie Bell, dead.

The young filly had taken her own life.

Apple Bloom just stood there in utter shock and horror. One of her Best Friends; dead.

Author's Note

Yep, I killed off Sweetie Bell now, by suicide.

Next we return to Canterlot as Dainn and his group face off against Manga Guards and Droid Commandoes while Shining Armor faces Dooku's most lethal assassin: Asajj Ventress!

Welcome to the Second Fall of Equestria.
