“So what are you telling me is that you are from a different dimension where all the inhabitants are anthropomorphic ponies, and you are a princess of a race called the changelings?” Jackie asked in one breath.

“Yep.” I replied without hesitation.

“Alright, why the fuck not?” He laughed. “You said you need help to return to your world right? Well, we need help to defeat Celestia before she summons the Angelus. My powers are severely weakened in the city, and I cannot fight the Angelus in my condition.” He said standing up offering me a hand. “Help us, and I will find a way to return you to your world.”

“So what’s the first step?” I asked grabbing his hand.

“The first step is introducing you to the whole gang of course.” He said and jumped down into the dome. I followed him and landed right next to him. “You already know Dusk and Dawn I presume.” I nodded, and he continued. “Then wait here for a moment, and I will call the whole gang.”

After some phone calls and a long wait, two more men entered the room followed by eight girls. “Alright, here in order we have Star Chart, Neon Light, Octavia Melody, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer.” He said, I cringed at the mention of Sunset.

‘Mom…’ I sighed. “Nice to meet you all, I’m Appolonia.” I said with a smile.

“It’s nice to meet you, darling.” Said Rarity.

“Same.” Said all the others. Pinkie though was eyeing me.

I neared a grey woman who wore an elegant grey suit and fedora, on her back, there was a violin case. “Who are you?” I asked her.

“I’m Octavia Melody, head cellist of the Aria Grande. A pleasure to know you.” She said in a refined voice and accent.

“So why exactly are you here? I mean what is a cellist doing in Jackie’s gang?” I asked.

“A fair question, you see I encountered Jackie when I was leaving one of my concerts, he told me that he greatly appreciated my music and we started to talk a bit. Unfortunately, the Lightbringer where there too, turns out they saw Jackie enter the Opera and waited for him to exit to strike, I was caught in the crossfire. Long story short, Jackie killed them all and saved my life. From there I started to help him take them down.”

“I see.” I told her, she nodded politely and walked towards the Nights who were having a contest of iron arm. ‘I wonder how they are fairing. I hope Twilight isn’t in any trouble because of all this.’

“Hey, girl.” Rainbow called. “The Nights says that you can shapeshift into other people?” She asked I nodded. “Cool, transform into me come on!” She asked eagerly. I took a strand of her hair and shifted into her.

“So, what do you think? Awesome isn’t it?” I asked her in her voice.

“So cool! What are you an alien?” She asked immediately Twilight and Sunset were over me like vultures and the others followed shortly.

“You can say that yes. I ended up in this world after an ‘accident’ with explosive results.” I explained.

“You're the thing that exploded in the alley!” Applejack shouted at me pointing her finger.

“Yes, yes I am.” I replied.

“You’re an alien!” Sunset and Twilight shouted in unison, from there I was bombarded with a multitude of questions and propositions to be studied. I answered their question but refused to be tested, my excuse was that I carried a deadly virus and I would kill them if they spilled my blood. That made them step back a bit.

“So she completely destroyed a demon head and survived a grenade explosion?” Jackie asked them. I overheard them and neared them to enter the conversation a bit after leaving the girls on their own.

“Yes, I did.” I answered. He turned back and watched me.

“How though?” He asked curiously.

“I’m an evolved, a race of almost unkillable beings.” I replied. “But I’m not here to answer these questions. I want to fight you.”

He laughed at my proposition when he finally calmed down and regained his breath he talked again. “Girl, if what you say it’s true then I cannot fight you. Not here, we would have to go outside the city, my powers are severely weakened here.” He replied. “Sorry to disappoint you.”

“I'll fight you!” Rainbow shouted zipping between us blocking Jackie. “I can do it!”

I put a hand on her shoulder. “No offense here Rainbow but… You are simply too weak, you wouldn’t manage to damage me at all.” I said.

She clenched her fists. “How about this!” She shouted and punched me in the face with all of her strength, unfortunately for her the only thing that happened was a sickening crunch. She yelled in pain and fell on one knee before standing up trying to kick me. Jackie intercepted the kick.
“Stop it Dash, you are going to destroy your body before you even move her.” He said to her. Tears were at the edges of her eyes, she freed herself from Jackie’s grip and ran away. “I’m sorry for that.”

“Don’t be. It was her mistake. Not yours.” I replied to him. “We could leave the city for a bit for our sparring though.”

“It’s too dangerous. We don’t know when Celestia is going to act, we must remain here.” He said firmly. “We can spar after all of this is over alright?”

“Fine.” I said still disappointed. The party continued without anything of note happening. The day after I was asked by Jackie to enter the Canterlot High School and try to get some information about the Lightbringers.

“How would I even enter the school? Shouldn’t I enlist in it or something?” I asked him.

“No, that's completely unnecessary. You legally don't exist right now no one will recognize you, and with your abilities, you will be able to infiltrate the school nicely” He took a brief pause and continued.

“You start tomorrow.” He said smiling and exiting the room. After all the people were gone I jumped from the building and returned to the city, I wanted to explore the school exterior before doing anything. I found the school pretty quickly. The school was a majestic building decorated with finesse. Near the front was a statue of a horse, I neared the figure to examine it better but before I could the statue’s eyes flashed white, and a portal opened on one side of the pillar that supported the statue.

From the portal exited a figure wearing a white dress with jewelry and golden inlays, immediately after another figure exited the school doors. She was tall and wore a white blouse over a white shirt, she also wore a pair of plain blue pants. I immediately morphed into a mouse and waited to see what would happen. I was in time too, because the mysterious figure looked where I stood, seeing nothing it continued to walk forward.

“Celestia.” She said in a feminine voice.

“Hello, Celly.” Celestia said.

‘Celestia is here!’ I thought, panicking. ‘This is bad, this is really bad if this world's Celestia is an ally of our Celestia than we have a big problem, I need to stay low and spy on them as much as I can.’
“Come inside, would you care for a cup of tea?” Celestia asked.

“No, I’m not here for long, and I’m not here to indulge into pleasantries with a mortal. I’m only here to get your report about the Angelus.” Celly replied.

“As always.” Celestia said looking bothered. She took an envelope from her purse and gave it to Celly. Celly took it, and without saying anything left through the portal, it closed immediately after her.

I could have killed Celestia and the memories I needed from her but, doing so could worsen the situation in my world, I needed to play my cards right. I followed Celestia inside the school and I saw her heading for her office when she entered she closed the door behind her. I started to pass under the door in the form of tendrils, I made one of them so that it could give me the location of Celestia as well as some hearing. I heard a soft click and then nothing, I entered the room completely, it was empty.

‘There is a secret door or something here. I just have to find it.’ I checked the whole room and found a button hidden under Celestia’s desk, I pressed it but nothing happened. I pressed it again but this time an alarm rang in the air, the windows closed with metals and the door shut itself. I went towards a window and destroyed it running away. ‘Fuck, this is not good’

Twilight informed me Celestia used the mirror today, and that the meeting was nearing its date. ‘Perfect timing, but why was she in the mirror again? Could it be, she found Applejack? No, if she did she would have already captured her to use against me. We need to enter that portal one way or another.’ “Twilight, what do you see?”

“Celestia just exited the mirror and is boarding the Astra. Our spy plants cannot follow her there.” Twilight said connected to the main brain of the castle.

“Excellent, we will wait a little more and then we move in.” I said. “Are the infiltrator ready Rarity?” I asked her.

“Yes dad, quick, deadly and silent just how you ordered them.” She replied. I asked her to create a type of bioform that could infiltrate the castle to retrieve vital information, so far the results were good. The infiltrator was a pitch black bipedal creature with no visible eyes or mouth, they could see via thermic vision and had very acute hearing. They were fast and could turn invisible for a period of time, they can also shapeshift to fool the guards.

“Perfect, deploy them immediately.” I ordered and Rarity nodded. For this operation, I built an extra room of the castle where Twilight stored a giant brain which served as a mainframe for all the operations, from there we let the infiltrators go and waited for Celestia to get further away.

“Your highness.” Xarx said entering the room. “The squad you requested is here.” He said.

“Perfect, Rarity go and tell them what to do. They are all yours now.” I said to Rarity and she nodded exiting the room with Xarx. After the door closed I sighed and stared at the big bio form. ‘We will save you AJ.’

“...and that’s all I know I swear!” The Lightbringer soldier said scared. Apparently, the only one who can access the hideout under the school is Celestia herself or her right hand who’s name I didn’t find yet. I looked at the terrorized soldier and whispered in his ear.

“Runaway or I’ll eat you.” I said flashing him a smile with sharp teeth, scared he run away. I scoffed and shook my head as I returned to Jackie’s hideout. After I entered the room I searched for him and found him at his desk looking at some papers.

“Hey Jackie.” I said to him, he put the papers down and looked at me.

“Any news?” He asked.

“The only one who can access that hideout is Celestia or her right hand, unfortunately, I don’t know who that is and neither does her common grunts.” I said.

“That’s unfortunate.” He sighed and looked outside, the sun was coming up. “Your first day on the field starts today, go.” He said. I shrugged and exited the room heading towards the school. The school shined under the morning sun like a beacon for the students all attracted by it, but I knew what that building really hid. I entered the school, hundreds of students were all going around busy with their lives. Suddenly I felt someone touching my shoulder and I turned around to find Bon Bon staring at me, I flashed her smile and brought her to a more secluded place where we could talk privately.

“Oh my god Appolonia, I’m so happy to see you! Do you attend this school too?” She asked me, she wore a white shirt and a butter skirt with three green pieces of candies on it.

“No.” I said shaking my head. “I’m just looking around. Mind giving me a tour?” I asked her with a soft smile.

She nodded and replied. “But of course I will follow me.” She said and took my hand, I followed her around the school, she showed me the gym, the library, various classrooms and in the end we arrived at the headmistress's office. On the wall, though I noticed something I completely overlooked last night.

“What’s up with that casket?” I asked Bon Bon. There was a casket made out of blue and black roses with a picture of a dark blue-skinned woman in the middle of it.

“That was the office of vice-president Luna. She was found murdered two weeks ago in her room. Celestia was destroyed after that and secluded herself in her office.” She explained.

“Huh, interesting.” I muttered. “Let’s continue.” We visited the whole school but there were no signs of the Lightbringer anyway, I would have to return later after school hours.

“Thanks, Bon Bon.” I said to her when we returned to the hub of the school. “Now I have to go, see ya.” I said and waved her goodbye she waved back and I exited the school. I didn’t have anything more to do so I wandered the city exploring it in the meantime. I continued to wander the city until five.

I returned to the school just in time to see several cars parking on the front of the school, I saw a man exiting his car he had a suitcase in his hands but he fell and the suitcase popped open revealing the robes of a Lightbringers before he quickly closing it, decided to follow him. When he entered the school and I was sure no one was around I grabbed him from behind forcing his mouth closed as I brought him to the bathroom and consumed him, assuming his identity. Turns out there was a meeting with the officer that commanded the south part of town today at five thirty.

Just in time.’ I thought while exiting the bathroom, finding the secret entrance behind the broken locker in the locker room was easy enough, I put the code in the lock and entered the room underneath the school. There were several men all waiting for this officer to shows up.

When the officer arrived everyone made space for him, he was a tall guy with a light blue coloration and deep blue hair, probably in his forties, he wore the same robes of everyone else but he also had a cape and the symbol of the sun over his heart.

“Greetings, I’m officer Nightlight and I’m the newly appointed officer for the south part of the city.” He then proceeded to explain the route that the patrols must follow to get around the city and avoid the police. He also said to bring the unworthy that are found inside the abandoned warehouse.

After the meeting ended I exited the school and went back to Jackie to tell him the news. I found him on the roof this time watching the sunset.

“Any news for me?” He asked perking up looking at me.

“Yes, the Lightbringers got a new officer for the south part of the city a man called Night Light, seems like he knows how the police move and also appointed the abandoned warehouse as a holding cell for the ‘Unworthy’.” I told him sitting down putting emphasis on unworthy. “What should we do? I’m all for going there and killing them all.” I said eagerly.

“I know you want to, but there would be too many witnesses and we cannot cause a panic especially if said panic is brought forth by an invincible man-eating woman.” He explained.

“Fine.” I accepted, I didn’t like it but I could see his reasoning. “And what about Nightlight?” I asked.

“Nightlight eh?” He said. “Where did I hear that name…?”

“What?” A voice asked from under us. I looked down and saw Twilight looking up at us.

“Hey, Twilight do you know a guy called Nightlight? He’s the new commanding officer for the south part of the city if you know anything it would be appreciated sugarcube.” I asked and Twilight immediately paled at my question. “Something wrong?” I asked concerned.

“It’s impossible…” She muttered. “It can’t be....” She then took me by force with her telekinesis and thrust me into the ground, breaking a part of the dome and the floor.
“You're lying!” She shouted.

The telekinesis was stronger than the first time we met but it still wasn’t enough to keep me down, so I stood up and walked to her, I looked at her right in the eyes and shouted angrily. “The fuck are you trying to do?”

“Twilight! Stop this immediately.” Jackie shouted emerging from the shadows.

“She’s lying Jackie! Dad cannot be a Lightbringer!” She shouted, running away with tears in her eyes.

“Nightlight is her father?” I asked Jackie.

He nodded, “Yes that’s where I heard the name before.” Jackie said realizing the problem. “Nightlight and Twilight Velvet are her parents.” He explained.

“What should we do now?” I asked.

“Nothing. She needs to calm down on her own.” Jackie said.

After an hour of waiting, we finally departed towards Canterlot. We disguised ourselves and flew towards the looming mountain, after landing we entered the city, the air itself was filled with prejudice and fear. No one could trust anyone, ponies were afraid of being seen with each other fearing repercussions from the guards. The once cleaned and polished streets filled with busy ponies were now a ghost of what they were, empty and abandoned few dared to go around the city in these difficult times, the presence of the guards didn’t do anything to ease those fears on the contrary, after the loss of the battle of the Everfree no one wanted to trust the royal guard. The few that were out were often criminals or homeless ponies who were hiding if the guards found them they were authorized to either banish them or killing them on sight. There wasn’t space for them in Her perfect Utopia. The very definition of harmony was crumbling under the heavy losses and an unforgiving system, the royal guards were patrolling the streets, we witnessed brawls and fights starting in the street. Canterlot was a powder keg ready to explode.

We managed to walk straight through the city towards the castle without any problems, we stopped near one of the walls and checked that no one was around. “Alright, Rarity tell the infiltrators that they can go in, Twilight prepare the device.” I ordered.

Rarity sent a signal to the infiltrators that were waiting outside the city while Twilight picked up her backpack and pulled out a specially made radar. Twilight engineered it so that it could track vast amounts of magic, it could also detect illusions so that even hidden magical artifacts could be found. We used it to find the position of the Vault, which resided in a secluded area of the castle hidden by multiple illusion wards.

Knowing that they were there I was able to break the wards easily enough and we then entered the door. The invisible door was in fact a portal like the one I had in my castle and teleported us to a crystal filled cave. The air was dry and buzzing with magical enchantments, in front of us loomed a giant door filled with beautiful decoration and at its sides there were two statues of a strange hybrid between a minotaur and a diamond dog, I paid them no mind and instead reached for the door as soon as I touched it the statues swung their hammers at me. I blocked their attack and destroyed the hammers, Twilight took them in her magic and teleported them in her laboratory to study. I pushed the door open and entered the Vault, there were a lot of magical items in there and I even saw the Alicorn amulet. ‘What should I do with this now? It is a dangerous artifact…’

“Hey, dad what’s that?” Twilight asked pointing to the amulet.

“This is the Alicorn Amulet, a powerful artifact that grants the user an increase in magical strength costing them their sanity. I should destroy it.” I explained.

“No, wait!” She stopped me. “Can I study it, Please?” She pleaded.

“I don’t know, I don’t want for you to become a victim of it.” I said.

“I won’t put it on, I’ll keep it away and use it for research only I promise.” She said.

I was still unsure about that though. “We will bring it to the castle, better there than here but I will supervise any experiments with it, Deal?” I asked.

“Fine.” She said rolling her eyes.

“Hey I’m not doing this because I don’t trust you, I don’t trust this thing.” I explained. I got no response. We continued to explore the room until we found the mirror, fortunately, it was undamaged but it was also deactivated, Twilight took it in her magic and teleported it home. Though immediately after that the radar picked up a powerful beacon spell and an alarm started to ring giving away our position to the guard and possibly to Celestia herself. We ran away from the Vault and took flight towards the Everfree.

‘I’m coming Applejack.’

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ APPLEJACK POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Two full hours passed after Twilight outburst, her friends came here to ask about her but we didn’t know where she was either so we decided to wait for her to show up after calming down, this kind of news is not easy to digest. I was going around the city searching for more information about the Lightbringer when I saw two of them heading into an alley, I followed them and listened in to there conversation.

“Hey where are you?” A voice asked from a radio.

“We are patrolling the east sector why?” One of them replied.

“Why are you there, the commander called everyone.” The voice said.

“Fine, fine we are on our way. Stupid purple bitch ruining my day…” He muttered while the other just laughed.

‘Twilight!’

I ran as fast as I could leaving craters and destroying windows and cars as I passed by. I located her using the viral radar and In under two minutes, I reached her position Twilight was against the wall of a house trapped, her wrists were chained to the wall. All around her there were at least a hundred Lightbringers.

“Twilight Sparkle, I’m incredibly disappointed in you. I thought you were better than this. Don’t you see? The Light is the truth. But you decided to betray me and your mother, you betrayed the truth and sided with evil, with the Darkness!” Nightlight said shaking his head in disappointment. “No matter you will be used to call the Angelus and save the world! You should feel honored.” his face showing nothing but pure, cold determination.

Twilight couldn’t or wouldn’t accept reality and just kept crying from the betrayal.

I jumped into the air and plummeted to the ground destroying the body of one Lightbringer, I then created more arms, a total of six of them, and ripped and tore any that got too close, I took one soldier and used him as a mace against the others until he snapped in half so I just discarded him. I then thrusted tendrils inside some of them turning them into mindless bloodthirsty zombies that attacked their allies. From the original hundred soldier, there were only twelve around Nightlight.
I neared one of them and took his head, then I used it to smash open the skull of the one nearest him, I punched another one at to left with enough force to make him and the others behind him explode from the sheer pressure. The remaining two put their rifles down and started to run. I made spikes appear under them, impaling them, after that, I forced the remaining zombies to explode.

“Hello, Nightlight.” I greeted the man, I put a hand on his right side putting on a menacing smile charged with malevolence. “And goodbye.” I said grabbing him by his neck.

“No, wait! Please!” Twilight shouted flailing against her restraints.

“Let me think… No. He’s a traitor, the worst kind of traitor, he betrayed his family! He dies tonight.” I stated in a cold tone.

“Please have mercy.” Nightlight said gasping for air.

“Sorry, mercy ain't my element.” And with that, I pushed him into the ground and smashed his head and devouring him with my tendrils.

“Monster.” Twilight said without any emotion, her eyes were dead, a fire in them died.

“Yah, I am” I said freeing her from her binding, ripping away the metal around her wrists. “Let’s go to the hideout. You need rest and I need to talk to Jackie.”

“Me too.” She said. I put her over my shoulders and ran towards the observatory to report to Jackie.

We arrived at the observatory, I left Twilight outside the room so I could speak with Jackie alone and so she could wrap her head around what happened. I found Jackie at his desk, this time though there were three girls I didn’t recognize with him.

“You are just in time Appolonia. These three are the Dazzlings my best informants.” He said.

The three girls turned around and greeted me. “Hello, I’m Adagio” The one with red hair said, she wore a lavender shirt under a black trenchcoat, she also wore a purple skirt.

“I’m Aria.” The one with purple hair said.

“I’m Sonata!” Said the last one happily, “Pleased to meet you!”

“Uh, Nice to meet you too. Anyway, Jackie, we have a problem.” I said.

“We already know.” Adagio said. “That’s why we were here, Nightlight created a trap for Twilight.” She explained.

I nodded. “Yes he did, I already resolved the situation, Twilight is out the room right now and she’s fine. Though she hates me now because I killed her father.” I replied.

“You killed him?” Aria said sternly, “You should have captured him for information.” She said.

“I got some information from him, his wife is in the north region of the city preparing a big hit against the Canterlot bank to fund the cult. She will strike 48 hours from now.” I replied.

“Excellent. We must be ready, you can all go. Appolonia, send Twilight in please, I need to talk to her.” Jackie said. With nothing more to do, I told Twilight to enter left the room of the dome.

We returned to the castle and Twilight immediately started working on the portal, without any good results though. Nothing was working and the portal stayed shut, I was wrecking my mind to find a way but unless we free Luna there was no one that could open the portal before the full moon.

“Dad!” Twilight shouted entering the throne room. “I found a way!” She shouted. “Basically the portal reacts to a very distinct magical imprint. I think it’s Luna’s that would make the most sense… Anyway we discovered that Rarity can charge it for us and force it open.” She explained.

“Excellent! I knew you could do it Twi.” I praised her. “How long do you think we will have to wait?”

“From my calculation I think two days, maybe three the portal is such a strange and powerful artifact it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will behave.” She said.

I sighed, “Fine then we will have to wait.”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~APPLEJACK POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After leaving the Twilight to Jackie I headed up towards the city for a walk both to unwind and to think.

“You monster.” Those words really stung, I did the right thing though. Right? “I must have, he betrayed his own daughter how can someone do something like that? But… maybe I should have just captured him? I don’t know, I don’t know what to feel, never before someone called me a monster for killing an enemy…”

“Is that what we are? Monsters… I can’t believe that my sisters are monsters nor my dad or mom they just can’t be. Dad is always right… Right?” With my head in turmoil I didn’t even notice that I bumped into someone else.

“Hey ow.” She said. “Appolonia! I called for you all this time and you didn’t even noticed me, what gives, something on your mind?” Bon Bon replied.

“No… I’m fine.” I wasn’t but those weren’t her problems.

“Liar. You are terrible at lying you know that? Come with me, I’ll guide you to my home and we can speak there in private alright?” She said over the sound of cars, lives and lights in the air.

“...”

And so we arrived to her home, her parents weren’t in and we immediately entered her room. It was a nice room, a lot of posters of a band I didn’t know the existence of, her bed was with light cerulean blankets and her walls were pink. There was a desk there filled with magazines and books. She sat on the bed and motioned to me to do the same, fortunately I left a lot of biomass at the hill and so I didn’t destroy her bed.

“So… What happened?” She asked me.

“Well… I did a mistake, or rather I don’t know if I did.” I said.

“You must be a little more precise there App.” She said.

“App?” I asked confused.

“Short for Appolonia come on don’t change the subject.” She replied.

“Fine, I- Let’s say I wanted to protect a friend of mine, but in doing so I hurt her too. Her dad attacked her and I injured him.” Such a fine lie. “And now she is angry with me, did I do the right thing?” I asked her.

“Although you are still lying somewhere there I think that she was just angry and-”

I couldn’t keep it up anymore, I can’t lie… Doing that makes me feel wrong so wrong. I just can’t. “Forgive me.”

“I killed him.” I said.

“W-what?” She replied numbly.

“I killed him, I killed her father. He was going to kill her and I killed him, not only that but when she pleaded me to let him go I said no and killed him in front of her. I’m a monster.” I said. The truth was out, as well as the tears. An arm got around me and Bon Bon hugged me.

“Shh. It’s alright.” she said in a soothing voice. “I want to understand, but I need you to tell me everything from the start.” A complete stranger which I met two days ago and I was already in tears before her…

“I’m pathetic… I just met you and I’m already crying.” I said.

“There is nothing more honest than tears that comes from the heart. And these one, are from it. So tell me, I won’t interrupt nor judge until you finish.”

And so I did, I told her about my world about who I am and what I am. She held true to her promise though not once she interrupted me until I ended my tale.

“I see… Well from what I understand, I think that you did the right thing. Maybe Twilight will hate you for what you did but you didn’t know any better. You were born into a world where killing is the common response. Now you do though, you do know better, you feel terrible about it right? But not because you killed him but because she called you a monster.” She said I just nodded. “You are not a monster Applejack.

“A monster doesn’t save her friends from danger, a monster doesn’t cry from pure guilt over a kill, I can’t ask you to not kill but. When you will have to, or you’ll have the choice to, try to think about what will happen, who will miss him or her what will be the consequences and if there is really no other way. If you do that and you still believe that killing is the right choice, than you have nothing to blame on you. And if you ever need help,” She said hugging me again. “I will be here waiting.”

“Thank you Bon Bon…”
