Illusi0N

Applejack wandered around the farm, distinctively doing what she did when these events were still fresh. She went near a tree, bucked the tree, and a handful of apples fell from the basket. She looked at the basket only to find an odd thing. Something was with the apples, and Applejack lifted it up. Fluttershy, who was with her, looked at the mysterious object as well. The two looked at each other, and threw the mysterious object away, only to be found by Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Applebloom.

"Uh... what is it?" Applebloom asked, "is it that potion?"

"Well..." Scootaloo looked at it. "Yup, it is."

"Let's go to Zecora, maybe she could help what potion you both are talking about!" Sweetie shouted, trotting off.

"Hey, wait!"

"Sweetie!"

And the CMC went to Zecora and the zebra inspected the potion.

"This is not a regular potion in a bottle, opening it will open nothing but trouble," she warned.

"Okay Zecora! We're not gonna-" Applebloom stopped in shock as Scootaloo ran off with the potion. "Scootaloo! Don't!"

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle took chances and chased Scootaloo until the potion gets smashed in front of them, Applejack, and Fluttershy. A mysterious smoke rose from the smashed pieces and entered through the ponies as soon as it could, including Rarity who just passed by unaware. Twilight witnessed this and ran into the library as quickly as she can get. I don't have wings, what am I thinking?! She looked outside and locked the door after she entered.

After a few days, Twilight decided to pay a visit to both Applejack and Fluttershy.

"Twilight Sparkle, no matter what I do, you're never allowed. Now get off my farm, it's off-limits!!"

Twilight looked at Applejack, stunned. "What did you say?" asked Twilight.

"I said," Applejack pulled a gun from her cowboy hat and pointed it to her, "this farm is off-limits."

Twilight Sparkle backed off, knowing what the gun can do, "Who are you?"

"What do you mean 'who are you,'" asked Applejack, "you know me already."

"No, I mean who are you?" Twilight asked back.

"I'm Applejack, the most feared of all ponies of Equestria!" She shot an apple with her gun, scaring Twilight. "Now, get off my property!"

Twilight tried to protest, but fearing of death, she simply went off into her library, scared.

"Now," Applejack hid the gun and wore the hat, "No more trespassers on my property."

Twilight Sparkle went to Sugarcube Corner, trying to stay away from Sweet Apple Acres for a reason only herself should know. She trotted until she bumped to Applejack, and as instincts told her, ignored her. Applejack, confused, just went to Rarity's and went to the basement.

The Carousel Boutique had a second basement for Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy to use. Fluttershy is already in the basement, greeting Applejack with a smile.

"So, anything yet Applejack?" Fluttershy asked, a little shy in tone.

"Nothin' except for Twilight tresspassing yesterday," Applejack replied with the accent, "Experiment wasn't seen at all."

"Good," Fluttershy replied, the shyness seemingly vanished, "you're clear to go. Don't let Twilight see you."

"The experiment is comprised," Applejack muttered, "must salvage and head here."

Applejack threw the gun under her hat in a chest in the second basement and went outside, only to be tackled by Twilight Sparkle, who was waiting for her, and who took her hat.

"He-hey, sugarcube, wha' in carnation are you doin'?!" Applejack asked, "Let me go!"

"I saw you with a gun last night, and I saw you hiding it in your hat, explained Twilight, "where is it?"

"What gun?" Applejack asked, obviously lying.

A few of the ponies spot them and Twilight quickly stood and looked at Applejack. After the ponies passed by, Applejack smirked.

"No one's gonna believe you, Twilight," she whispered, "no one."

Twilight looked back at Applejack who already went off, happily smiling. She also had her hat, which made Twilight confused and stunned. Twilight went to a bush where Pinkie, in her camo, was hiding.

"See anything?" Twilight asked.

"Nope, and don't worry Twilight, I still believe you!" Pinkie said, before they went to Sugarcube Corner again for a cupcake.

Twilight looked at a piece of paper as few days of silence passed by the town of Ponyville. She then left and went to Fluttershy's cottage, which had an unfamiliar magic. Spike took a peek at the paper and was stunned at its contents.

Illusi0N Protocol Report:

Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle got a mysterious black smoke entering last 5 days.

Applejack seemed to become hostile after I checked 4 days ago.

"They're hiding something. I can feel it."

~Twilight

Applejack smiled as the experiment they were making was finished. She pressed a button and it sparked to life. The experiment was a device that could absorb somepony's magic, and it was modelled after Lord Tirek. Fluttershy and Rarity helped make it more life-like before they released it into the wild. They tested its capabilities on Sweetie Belle, who also was with them along with Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"The experiment is awesome!" Sweetie Belle shouted before fainting due to lack of magic.

"Oh, expecting quite something Sweetie." Rarity returned tried to return her magic but only gets wounded and watched her get killed in horror...

"I want to use it on Twilight," Applejack said, "for revenge."

Current Time, Canterlot Castle

Princess Luna was forced to watch the events as she had the ability to cast the spell, and determined who created the machine which she nicknamed Tirek, and sent a few Guards to them. It seemed like the ponies affected by this spell entered a state of coma, a state which worried Princess Celestia. Princess Luna visited Celestia's room where Celestia was looking at the window.

"Lulu, are my little ponies gonna be fine?" she asked, looking at Luna.

"She's strong, Tia, they sure will." Luna went closer and looked with Celestia at the slowly setting sun.
