Farmer vs Murderer: Lumberjack's Revenge

Applejack's chance to confront Lumberjack again was uncertain to Sunset. She already knew that Lumberjack was the dark and evil side of Applejack, but what about the spell? Would it actually help Applejack as Princess Twilight's letter said it would? Sunset was very hopeful that it would. What if it doesn't work? she thought nervously, What if Lumberjack could live inside Applejack forever?!?

"Sunset, are you okay?" asked Fluttershy, who was feeling concerned about her.

"Looks like you're having some worry warts again," said Pinkie, who's also feeling concerned.

"I'm fine," said Sunset, "It's just that I'm worried sick about Applejack."

The other girls knew what exactly she's talking about.

"Come on, Sunset," said Rainbow, "AJ already beat and confronted Lumberjack, remember? If she still has the strength to fight her, then she'll do it again."

"They're both equally strong," said Sunset, "So there's no telling who would most likely win the fight." Then she looked through Princess Twilight's reply one more time before that moment would begin. "Tonight at 11:50, we'll have to go to the middle of the forest," she said, "And as long as I have my journal, Applejack should permanently be free and her life should turn back to normal."

"We have to tell Applejack to meet with us," said Sci-Twi, "But where do we need to meet?"

"At Applejack's house," said Sunset, "It's located closer to the same forest anyway."

When the sun was going down, the girls arrived to Applejack's house.

Meanwhile inside, Applejack was in her room, waiting patiently until she heard some knocking on the door. She quickly ran down stairs and answered it. "Thank gala yer here!" she said, "Winona just got my weapons out."

"Your weapons?" Sunset questioned as she looked inside and only saw Winona.

"Come on in," said Applejack as she welcomed them in.

The other six girls saw her weapons and were confused.

"Um...you do realize that Lumberjack is a cursed soul, right?" Sunset asked.

"Of course I do," said Applejack, "She turned out ta be as solid as the rest of us after I was fightin' 'er."

"So you've got out your lasso, a rifle, a pair of pistols, an axe, and a shotgun," said Rainbow, "That's a lot of weapons."

"Well, better ta be prepared than sorry," said Applejack.

"Speaking of prepared, we need to get to the middle of the forest at 11:50 tonight," said Sunset, "It's 11:40 right now, so we need to head out."

All of the girls and Winona made it to the middle of the forest at the scheduled time

"As long as I have my journal, you should permanently be free and your life should turn back to normal," Sunset said to Applejack.

Applejack nodded. At 11:59, she was told to stand on a same spot where she was before. Sunset handed her journal to her and cued her to read the same first spell:

"Cursed soul be gone from me and control me never more. Now the time has come to end this evildoing and I will be free forever more."

And just in time, the full moon shined on her and Lumberjack was separated from her body.

"Again? Seriously?" exclaimed Lumberjack, "Oh well. At least I'll get a chance ta become mortal as long as I live."

"By controllin' my body? I don't think so!" Applejack protested, "You'll get a chance ta be banished from my body ferever!"

"No matter what you'll do ta try ta keep me separated, I'll still live inside ya ferever," said Lumberjack, "And there's nothin' ya can do about that; nothin'."

"Oh no? We'll see about that," Applejack said as she handed the journal back to Sunset, "Come at me. I dare ya."

Lumberjack gave her a sinister smile and accepted the challenge. She then ran towards her and was about to punch her.

Applejack quickly dodged that attack and punched her right on the left eye, then the right eye and finally underneath the jaw. She had a great start so far.

Lumberjack was knocked down for about a few seconds. Then she got up with some bruises on her jaw and both of her eyes. "Not bad fer a cowgal," she said with the same smile, "But that ain't gonna stop me from reclaimin' yer body as my own."

When Applejack was about to be attacked again, she kicked her right on the left jaw joint.

Then Lumberjack was down again.

"What'dya have ta say fer yerself, sugarcube?" Applejack asked as she placed her right foot on her back, "Do ya surrender?"

Lumberjack struggled for a little bit. "Never," she replied as she pushed Applejack's calf to make her fall down on her back.

Applejack stomped on her lower back, stood up and faced the other way. She then picked her up, spun her fast and threw her against the tree next to the dead body.

Lumberjack was then unconscious for a few seconds.

Sunset handed Applejack her journal. "Read the second spell before Lumberjack wakes up!" she said.

Applejack nodded and then started to read the second spell:

"Beyond the depths of control, begone from me you'll remain. Your murdering times are finished, and you're forever banished from my domain."

Then Lumberjack, the tree stump and the bloody shed started to glow white and then disappeared in a flash. All that left were some sparkles.

The dead body and the beheaded head of Haywire started to connect together and was resurrected. Haywire had never felt so alive for many days. "I'm alive!" she exclaimed, "I-I thought I died!"

"Not anymore, sugarcube," Applejack said as she and her friends approached to her, "Ya don't have ta worry about Lumberjack anymore."

"Who's Lumberjack?" Haywire asked, "She looked a whole lot similar like you, but her eyes were red."

"She's the one who killed ya," said Applejack, "Since that evil clone of mine's gone ferever, ev'rythin's back ta normal."

"Did that happen before?" asked Haywire.

"It did once," said Applejack, "Now, it's gettin' pretty late so meet me at my house t'morrow so I'll tell ya how all that chaos began ta happen ta me."

Haywire wanted to hear her story so she agreed to do so. She didn't know much about her since she just saw her after the resurrection. After she went back home, she saw her parents asleep on their bed. She went inside the room and gently tried to wake them up.

Afterwards, they woke up and couldn't believe their eyes when they saw her standing in front of them. They hugged her tightly and cried.

The next weekend morning, Haywire walked towards Applejack's house to hear the story she promised to tell. After the greeting, she and Applejack started to get to know each other and their brief bios.

Applejack did promised to tell her how her horrible life with Lumberjack inside of her began. She took her to her room and did exactly that. It was getting quite long though.

"I'm besties with Thrush Sentry!" said Haywire, "I knew her ever since we were little!"

"Well, I guess y'all two have somethin' in common," said Applejack, "And that's y'all were victims of that same varmint."

"Speaking of Thrush, what's she up to now?" Haywire asked. Just then, she received a text message from Thrush, saying that she wanted to hang out at someplace. She replied by suggesting Applejack's house to hear some stories. About a few minutes later, Thrush replied by telling her that it's a great idea and using a happy face emoji at the end.

After a few minutes of waiting, Thrush came and walked inside. Haywire was excited to see her. Thrush was excited to see her and especially Applejack. It's been a long while since they've seen and met each other in the middle of the forest.

Applejack offered Thrush to hear the same story, and Thrush agreed. The two girls started to listen to her narrate the true story of how the chaos all began.
