Sweet Apple Revenge

“Come, and see for yourself, because you have entered in my domain. It is here in the realm of Amnesia, where all types of fears are born. Those who enter this world seek to conquer their fear permanently, and those who come out are forged anew from their dark trial. It is in this place where I keep check of all fears, and it is here where I know the fears of everyone, including yours.”

-Miedo, the Avatar of fear

Applebloom started waking up and she tried opening her eyes as quick as she could. When she fully opened them she thought it might have been a little dark. But as unusual as it is, she was waking up in total darkness. She got up to her hooves and examined the area around her, and it was definitely nothing but darkness. She couldn’t really see anything except she knew something or some pony is behind her. She jumped forward to get a far distance from what it is and turned around, only to see that it was Miedo. She scoffed and gave him an angry look “Let me guess, this is the Amnesia Realm? well I gotta tell you partner, it doesn't look like what I was expecting.”

Miedo was silent for a minute and gave the mare a reply “it is because you are in the heart of the Amnesia Realm, which is my domain.”

“Well then how come I'm not facing my personal fear?”

“Just to ask you a simple question”

“I’m listening.”

“What did you think of your brother before the incident?”

Applebloom stood there for a moment, how can he ask her something like that. After all she was going through and hearing she has been dead for five years. She stood there silently and didn’t know what else to say. Applebloom wanted to say something but she couldn’t let it out. Miedo then got closer to Applebloom and knelled down to his left knee “we will get to that part later, but now your trial begins.” Miedo's eyes then started glowing as an orange light started to surround Applebloom. She didn’t know where it was taking her but she was making some good guesses on what it could be. When she opened her eyes she noticed that she was in Sweet Apple Acres, but its a little... dead.

The Apple trees are all dead, the barn is in ruins, the clouds are dark, and the soil is hard. She didn’t know what all of this could mean. She looked to her right only to see Miedo staring at the ruins of the apple family farm. Applebloom was about to ask him if this was her personal fear but Miedo started speaking before she did. “Do you see what is before you? You have always feared what would happen if you left the apple family for good. you are looking at this now.”

Applebloom looked at Miedo with anticipation and confusion in her voice “what happened? please tell me, I’m begging you.”

“When you left, rather you're still alive or not, what would happen is this. Granny Smith dies, Macintosh becomes the new head of the family and hordes due to his hidden lack of leadership. The entire family goes broke and started to rebel against Big Mac. And I can tell you that it was one bloody battle, they did have guns after all.”

“I need to know” Applebloom said to Miedo “I need to know what happened.”

“It would be best if I show you.” Miedo walked to the center of the Apple tree’s that doth the Apple Family farm. Applebloom followed him and as they got there, it wasn’t what Applebloom wanted to see. It was her entire family in their skeletal form, with one skeleton at the center wearing a straw hat. It could only mean one thing for Applebloom, that skeleton is Applejack’s. At that moment Applebloom started to tear up, Miedo turned to look at the sad mare “This is not only your personal fear, but if you don’t fight Big Macintosh, I fear this may be the fate of the apple family.”

Applebloom wiped a few tears from her eyes and started seeing something come out of the skeletons. At first it looked like a bunch of orange energy come out, then that energy took the form of the entire apple family but with black bodies glowing orange, and their eyes and cutie marks are orange. Applebloom started shivering at the site of this, but she knew that if she kept getting scared, it will only make the problem worse. She looked at the ghost like figures and stepped towards them. Then she grew a serious look in her eyes and started shouting at them “do you honestly think I’m gonna let this happen to all of you? I’m wont let that happen, so sit back cause when I get my hooves on that backstabber of a brother. Believe me, you do not wanna be there when it happens.”

After giving that little speech she blinked and then noticed she was back in the heart of the Amnesia Realm. Behind her was Miedo possibly looking at her with approval, but she didn’t really know due to the fact that she can only see his eyes. He then started speaking “I am impressed, you were able to handle that well. I don’t think Scootaloo will be able to get that done fast as you did.”

Applebloom turned to Miedo and shot an angry glare at him “Ya know, it wouldn’t be that much of a problem because of what you said to her!”

“I just thought I make hers more challenging, by saying the two words that drives her personal fear.”

“And what exactly would those two words be?”

“I hate to break it to you, but only Scootaloo can tell you. But anyways you take a little time to yourself, while I go check on SweetieBelle.”

SweetieBelle started waking up, at first things were starting to be a major blur. But then she realized that she woke up in her bed. She wanted to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming, so she did a few reality checks back when her friends tried getting their cutie marks in lucid dreaming. She was well awake all right, but then she heard hoof steps coming from her door. When the door opened Rarity came out, and she noticed right away that something was different about her. She was a little bit taller, her mane was down, and most importantly... she has wings. SweetieBelle looked at Rarity and was both excited to see her sister again, and a little confused about why she is an Alicorn. Rarity looked at her sister with a smile on her face “ah darling it’s good you're awake, for a minute there I thought my little SweetieBelle was still asleep.”

“I don’t understand?” SweetieBelle exclaimed “How come I’m not in the realm of Amnesia?”

“The realm of what now? Did you have a bad dream SweetieBelle?”

“Um no, It’s just that... well, why are you an Alicorn?”

Rarity raised an eyebrow “don’t you remember how we became Alicorn’s dear sister?”

Sweetie Belle looked at her sister confused and turned to her sides. And it just so happens that she does have wings. She turned to her sister and was going to ask her about this but Rarity stopped her for a moment “Now before you get anywhere darling let me remind you why we are Alicorn’s. You told me how much you didn’t want me to leave you so much, that Celestia made us both Alicorn’s so that we can live together forever as loving sisters.”

“That didn’t happen” SweetieBelle said in disbelief “I’m still in the Amnesia Realm, and YOUR not my sister.”

Rarity looked at her silently for a minute and then started laughing. Soon that laugh was starting to change from Rarity’s normal laugh to a cold, dark, masculine tone. The body that is Rarity was then surrounded by a dark vortex that lasted a few seconds. After being cleared up SweetieBelle was no longer looking at her sister, but Miedo instead. The hooded figure then started speaking “you certainly are a clever girl.”

The wings on Sweetie belle started to fade away and thus she was a unicorn. She started speaking back to him “I bet you're probably smiling after I found out about your little trick.”

“Why? I don’t have a smile, in fact I don’t have a face at all.”

“What are you talking about?”

SweetieBelle uses the magic from her horn to reveal Miedo's face from his hood, and when she did... all she saw was nothing but his glowing orange eyes. Her mouth dropped to the ground as her magic raised his hood covering his face again. Sweetie belle just shuddered a little bit and asked him “What are you?”

Miedo gave her another question “racial wise or name wise?”

“Duh, Racial.”

“Alright then, I am an Avatar.”

SweetieBelle raised an eyebrow “What’s an Avatar?”

“The Avatars are one of the elder races that once ruled over Equestria. While the Alicorn’s gave the world it’s magic, we gave it feeling and emotion. We are literally the embodiment of an emotion itself. We do have a body but it works like an emotion, you cannot physically see it, but you can feel it. So if you were to lay a hoof on my body, what would you think you would feel?”

“Um, fear?”

“Exactly, and like Anders mentioned before there was a time when the Avatars and the Alicorn’s went to war. But in the end, it was us that stood victorious.”

“How did it all happen?”

“The Alicorn’s back in the days before Celestia and Luna came were full of tyranny and no emotion. They declared war on us due to the fact that they thought our way of spreading feelings is a cancer. So we gave them emotions to feel, In fact after we gave them emotions, they regretted ever bad thing they did. So they made up for their past sins.”

“Wow” those were the only words that SweetieBelle could slip out of her mouth after hearing all of this. Miedo then continued “they say magic is the strongest source of Equestria, that is when they are wrong. No matter what the spell that is cast upon thy enemy, emotions will always remain the strongest. Using Happiness, Sadness, or Fear as power can make you, in my language ‘silen kako na Bog’.”

“Ugh, translation please?”

“As strong as a god.”

“Yeah well um, can we get back to my personal fear now?”

Miedo took a minute to clear his throat “tell me Sweetie belle, how does it feel when you lose your sister?”

SweetieBelle’s heart just skipped a beat, did he say what she thought he said? she stuttered a little bit “wh.. why do you wanna know?”

“If there's any blood relative that you hold on to the most, it is your sister.”

“Well, it all started when I was like two years old, Rarity and I got lost and separated from each other when we were at the pony ville market district. I didn’t know where else to go, so I hid in a small box in a corner of the market district. I felt so scared and alone I thought I lost Rarity forever. I spend two hours in that boxing crying silently and praying that Rarity would find me. But then Rarity found me in that small box. She took me back home and I held onto her tightly so I wouldn’t get lost again. She gave me a bath, read me a little bedtime story, and she stayed with me in my room so I wouldn’t need to feel so scared.”

Miedo then asked her “did you remember those words she said to you on that night?”

“Yeah, I never forgot those words the moment she said ‘I will never leave you by yourself, cause no matter what, I am always with you, in your heart’. OK, we both know that I am scared of losing her, but as long as I keep those words with me, then I don’t have a reason to be scared.”

The room then started becoming dark, then in the blink of an eye everything was gone. The whole area that looked like SweetieBelle’s room was now nothing more but total darkness. Sweetie belle examined her surroundings wondering where she is, while examining she sees Applebloom in a short distance from her. Sweetie belle ran to where Applebloom was and started hugging the mare. Sweetie belle released the hug for a few seconds and started talking in a relieving tone in her voice. “Applebloom it’s good to see you passed your trial.”

Applebloom turned to her friend and smiled a little bit “pffft, it wasn’t much of a trial really, and I don’t think yours was either.”

Miedo interrupted the two mares “both of yours wasn’t, but I fear it’s much of a real trial for Scootaloo.”

Sweetie belle stopped him for a minute “well if you didn’t whisper what you said into her ear, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“I was only trying to make it more challenging for her overconfidence, but I think I might have went a little overboard.”

“You don’t say.”

“What matters is that I’m sure she can be able to conquer her fear, If you want to know what I told her I will tell you.

“Then start talking buddy, what did you say to her?”

“Flightless Pegasis.”

Applebloom and Sweetie belle stood there with their mouths and eyes agape. Did he just say that Scootaloo was a flightless Pegasus? Things got silent for a few seconds until Applebloom broke that silence “how come she is a flightless Pegasus?”

Miedo gave her an answer “because she has a rare medical disorder with her wings, when she gets to a young age like the one she was currently after the incident with Big Mac. Once a Pegasus reaches that age, the wings stop growing and she is unable to fly.”

“And I bet she didn’t like it, every pony made fun of her and it scarred her for life and you have to go open your mouth.”

“ I was only trying to...”

“Trying to what? make her problem even worse. I thought you was gonna help us, but after hearing what YOU said to her. Lets face it you're nothing more but a SICK, CRUEL, BASTARD.” After hearing what Applebloom just said, Miedo grew silent for a few seconds and then started walking away from the two mares. Applebloom then started yelling “HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU GOING?” without giving her an answer Miedo surrounded himself in a black vortex and in the blink of an eye, he just disappeared.”

Scootaloo was lying behind a dumpster in the back alley of the pony ville market district on a rainy day. She has her head buried between her arms trying to cover up the tears she failed to hold back. Was she a little too overconfident? Or did Miedo say that on purpose? All she could think about is why Miedo mentioned those two words that she hated the most. “Why did I have to open my big mouth?” Scootaloo asked herself in disappointment trying to wipe the tears from her eyes. “I was so caught up on getting my hooves on Big Macintosh, I let my own overconfidence get the best of me.”

coming from behind her was a mare that was following her ever since Scootaloo got here 6 minutes ago (which of course is six seconds in Equestria.) She had a rainbow colored mane, and her coat has a cyan color. Of course it was none other than Rainbow Dash herself. The cyan mare sat next to her and laid her hoof around her shoulder “is there something wrong Scoots?”

Scootaloo sniffed a little “nothing, I’m fine.”

“Are you sure? you didn’t look fine when all of those fillies started laughing at you.”

“Just shut up, I know its you Miedo.”
The figure known as Rainbow Dash was then surrounded by a black vortex and within a second from clearing, it revealed Miedo. The hooded figure sat down and laid his back to the wall while still trying to keep eye contact with Scootaloo. The orange mare looked at Miedo with a nasty glare “let me guess, you're here to make my trial worse.”

“No Scootaloo” Miedo said lowering his head a little bit “I came here......... to apologies.”

“Wait..... what?”

“I came to apologies Scootaloo, I shouldn't have said what i said before we entered the Amnesia Realm.”

“So, you're saying this just now... what's the reason?”

“It’s not cause your friends told me to, Its just that.... after seeing what would happen to Applebloom’s family if she didn’t fight Big Macintosh, hearing the part about SweetieBelle getting lost and thinking that she won’t see her sister again, and remembering what I called you. I felt something that I never felt in my immortal life.”

Scootaloo’s tone was starting to get a little soft now and less angry “What did you feel?”

“Grief..... I felt grief, I shouldn’t be feeling like this but yet this.... grief is weighing heavy on me.”

“So what are you going to do about it?”

Miedo got up while still keeping eye contact with Scootaloo “I’m going to tell you that I’m sorry, and if you don’t believe me, then let me give you something that will show you that I truly am.... sorry.”

Scootaloo got up to her hooves “what are you gonna do?”

“Just to warn you, this will only hurt just a bit.” An orange light started to surround Scootaloo and worked it way only paying attention to the wings. Scootaloo at first was feeling warmth from the light, but then started feeling something from the bone part of her wings. It was strange but it was getting... bigger, and it was the same thing for the muscles and the skin part of her wings. They kept it up until the wings were as big enough as Rainbow Dash's. Scootaloo shut her eyes and flapped her wings a little bit, at first she thought that she was feeling a little lighter, but when she opened her eyes. She just couldn’t believe it... she was actually flying. Scootaloo’s expression quickly turned to a smile and just didn’t know what to say. Miedo then started speaking when Scootaloo couldn’t “know the time has come for all of you to return to Equestria.”

Anders waited by the river looking at his own reflection while awaiting for the arrival of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Anders turned his head to see a black portal and coming out of that portal was the Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves. The Alicorn looked only to see the three come out and not Miedo with them. As the portal closed Anders asked them a question “where is Miedo?”

SweetieBelle gave him an answer “well after he gave Scootaloo flyable wings, he disappeared out of thin air.”

“I see, well then the three of you should get some rest, because tomorrow........... it begins.”
