in the previous episode.

"Mother, can I borrow your Gatling?"

and now the rest of your program.

1An apple a day

"Stop, Nashandra you're hurting me, say something mom !!"
James was pinned to the ground on his stomach while Nashandra was on his back while twisting his right arm, his left arm twitching in all directions from the pain that was in him.

"Your really too stupid James, you really think mum is going to let you take her gun, you're really dumber than it seems!" Nashandra was nothing but gentleness just like the rest of her sisters.

"You deserve that I burst your mouth for having said this sentence." Nadalia is delicacy embodied.

"Oh, oh me, I'm going to bury you alive in the sand until the blow and leave you to the vulture " Elanna cares so much about animals, it's so touching.

"You are just a baboon, a troglodyte." Alsanna is like a book, a collection of knowledge that she shares with everyone.

"Even after everything that happened to you, you want to continue down this path .... take him to his room, girls" James senior was disappointing

James saw his father's face, a face filled with sadness, he wanted to say everything, confess everything but the words did not want to come out, the pain was so great.

"I ... I"

"Don't say anything more James, please don't disappoint me anymore."

"Don't disappoint me anymore," James, after hearing these words cracked and released everything he had on his heart.

"I MUST SAVE MY FRIEND !!!!"

Everyone was shocked to see James scream like this.

"I promised I would come back and save him, but you can't understand, I'm not like you...I understood that's a long time ago when I was imprisoned there ... I saw the consequences of my actions..and I don't like it.

"James looked at his hands"

I felt the eyes of the people, these honest people who had asked for nothing ... this poor woman who lost her husband all this because I wanted to be like you ..."

He started to cry again"

I have his blood on my hands...Don't you understand... I will never be able to remove it, but the worst thing ... is that on the day of my execution, this poor woman looked me in the eyes and ..."

"And what did she tell you, James?" James senior wanted to know because he saw that his son was in pain.

"SHE FORGIVEN ME FOR KILLING HER HUSBAND!!!"

James couldn't hold back.

"After all, I have done, she found the kindness to forgive me who is nothing much but a crackerjack of failure."

Suddenly her mother's voice was heard.

"Release him, Nashandra."

" But Mom."

"Did I stutter!"

So Nashandra released James without saying anything but you could see in her face that she didn't like the decision.

"Now listen to me James, get ready and save your friend ." said his mother quietly.

James didn't understand, usually, his mother always yelled at him ... even when he was little.

"Really, mom? "

His mother nodded

"..So I don't have a minute to spare, I collect some provisions and go there… and thank you, mom."

Some moment later

"I'm ready," Said James who had two huge bags on his back. "

"What's in these bags?" Nadalia asked

James smiled and took out ... an apple

"Why an apple." Nadalia was confused

"Because an apple a day keeps the doctor away... forever and everyone knows the high rate of mortality of sick or injured patients's so I take precautions."

"My son is going to die" James senior is a pessimist ... or a realist.

Her mother's smile faltered for a moment.

"James ... Go."

"You're right, I have to hurry."

James walked through the front door and headed for the family stable. On the tenth anniversary, the children of the Kallacity family are sent to the Wild West to capture a foal in one of the many herds of wild horses, it grows with them and quite often the horses become as aggressive as their mistresses. ... but James's is a whole other matter.

" So where are you hiding my pretty."James went to the back of the stable and that's when something attacked James.

"HAAA HELP"

James screamed then all the noise ceased.

"Hahaha stop, you make me laugh hahaha."

"The creature that attacked James was nothing but his mount, a Cob Gypsy in a bay dress and blond mane, this one having the distinction of having a spot resembling a heart at the level of the neck. this breed is suitable for harnessing as well as for mounting. The name of this mare is ...

"Mother !!! I missed you my horse."

James rested his head on Mother's and stayed that way for a twentieth of a minute.

"Mother, it's time to hit the road, I have to do something important and you are going to help me, you don't mind my dear.

"Hiiiihiiiihii" Mother neighing

"... I take that for a yes."

James got out of the stable, straddled his mount, looked at his family one last time, and galloped as fast as he can
.

"You've grown so much, James ... promise me to come back safe ."

James Senior was proud of his son because he wanted to do something right, he kissed his wife and then went to feed the horses. It was then that the girls rushed to their mother and asked.

"Why did you do that mom?" Nashandra was confused"

It's true, you never act like that with James!" Nadalia was not very happy.

"Sniff, do you like him more than we do now sniff sniff?" Poor Elanna.

"James is just a drop of water but you treat him like he's the ocean, why Mother?” Alsanna has spoken.

"My dearest daughters, have you read the newspaper."

"No mother"

"I don't know how to read" Elanna is a lost cause

"Nashandra read it to your sisters."

"Yes, mom." Nashandra took the newspaper and started to read it, at first the girls didn't understand than all of a sudden they started to smile.

"You really are the worst mom."

"Merci Beaucoup Nadalia, it really touches me"

Then all the girls laughed.

Somewhere in the plains of Equestria. James, still on the back of his mare, galloped at full speed towards Ponyville, he wanted to save his friend as soon as possible but fatigue due to both the heat and the race began to weigh on Mother and James saw it.

"We'll slow down a bit, okay."

James looked around then spotted a small town not far from him.

"Perfect, we'll go over there to rest a bit, okay.

" "Hiihiihhii." Mother was happy

James then changed course and headed for the small hamlet. This was nothing more than some building here and there, with as in all small towns: a lounge to quench your thirst, a shop to buy food and drink, an armory because we are in the city. West and voila. James approached the entrance panel

"Dodge City ... Is not the Empire of Hoodoo Brown but it works."

James continued to advance while greeting the inhabitants of these very pretty hamlets.

"Hello to you."
"Beautiful day isn't it,"
"How lovely you are ladies." + honor.
"Enough blah blah James, now let's find this saloon."

James looked around but couldn't find it, so he noticed the local sheriff and asked for directions.

"I apologize for disturbing you on this beautiful day, Mr. Sheriff, but could you tell me where the saloon is, please."

The sheriff looked at James from head to toe suspiciously, then answered him.

"At the end to the left of the street."

"Thank you very much, Sheriff, let's go, my dear."
"Hiihii."

The sheriff looked at James walked away then said.
" This Boy won't last 2 minutes in the saloon."

James continued while humming.
"No one dared to ask his business

No one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had
A big iron on his hips ... A big iron on his hips ... "

He finally arrived in front of the saloon, get off of his mount, and tied it near the trough.

"It's going to do you some good my pretty, I'll be back soon, I'm going to do some shopping."

James caresses Mother's mane then walked into the bar.

2: Apple juice, please

Music, one of the most important things in the West, whether it's balls, birthdays, or saloons, is always synonymous with parties ... But there is someone who spoils them. (Classic bar hubbub)

James walked into the saloon and immediately the music stopped as well as the chatter, the laughter, the chants, and everyone looked at him like he was a wonder of the world but he didn't understand and looked behind him

. "No, there is nothing behind me ... it may be on me."
James looked at its clothing.
"No, it's all clean ... I'm thirsty."

And so James walked over to the bar while everyone watched him.

"Hello bartender, apple juice please."

James had barely finished his sentence when everyone in the bar laughed.
"HAHAHA, apple juice, and how about a glass of milk while you're at it." said a man with a big mustache

"Even better HAHAHA water."

"LENNY !!"

And everyone started laughing again but James does not like being laughed about things he loved so openly because you know that apple juice is one of the most consumed drinks just after orange juice. -

De one, Apple juice helps digestion, it is packed with vitamins and antioxidants, it is also a recognized anti-depressant -

-two, according to a study made by researchers in the Massachusetts, apple juice helps against Alzheimer's disease but not many people know it ... Let us pay tribute to this drink which soothes the body as well as the spirit.

" Oh say, can you see
by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
throw ’the perilous fight,"

"Looks like he's going wet himself"

this sentence said by a disagreeable customer woke James from his dream of apple juice. The laughs continued

"So what do you wanna drink kid?" Asked the bartender ...that's when James pulled out his top-break revolver and put me on the bar .... Everyone fell silent in the saloon.

(Inside James' head)"my sisters would surely have done the same.

"... A few moments later ... still in the bar.

"NOOOO"

It was then that James walked through the saloon window, apparently people don't like it when barely puberty kids play cowboy

." you amaze me, two minutes and 1 second."

The sheriff looked down on him because James was so low, then he left

"AHHH"
James stood up painfully then glared then said.

"Your saloon stinks anyway and your alcohol is probably poor quality.

Painful breathing "I need food for the road."

So James dragged his carcass to the nearest store; this one found just next to the saloon ... how practical. James stepped inside.
DING

"Hello and welcome dear customers ...."

The owner stopped speaking when he saw James who was covered in dirt, dust, bits of glass, and cuts.

"Hello, Do you have canned peaches?" there was a silence

"... besides alcohol in the back."

"Cool, thank you"

James then began his shopping, he took peaches, oatcakes for his mount, lotion for his hair, thread, and a needle to sew up his shirt and to finish gumball.

"Well, that should be enough to go and rescue Bullets."

James made his way to the cash register when he saw several jars on the counter stacking them one on top of the other with a sign saying "Sweetness of Dodge City."

"Sir, what's the sweetness of Dodge City?"

The owner looked at James and said

"These are cherries in brandy ... It makes you $ 1 and 20 cents."

"... Add a jar of sweetness please." James loves cherries.

Once finished, James left the store and returned to his mount.

"Look what you bought honey," James pulled out an oatmeal patty,

"Your favorite.

"Neigghhh." Mother was happy.

"You deserve it." And Mother devoured it.

"Well, honey, now I'm going to finish setting up the food and we take off; understood.

"Neigghhh."

"Hahaha."

"How adorable."

"Uh?"

James turned around and saw three people standing in front of him.

• Two-man in black suits with short hair, One had them black while the other had them brown but they both had a pair of colored glasses, probably the bodyguards of the third person, a woman with wavy red hair held by a yellow headband with cherries on it, wearing a white dress with a bustier a cherry embroidered on the right side, a pink scarf covering her neck; This woman had a delicate face with a mole on her left cheek. Such a beautiful woman cannot mean anything good.

"Can I do something for you, ma'am?"

"Silence! ... So it's you playing hard in the saloon and then throwing like old moldy apples out the window."

This does not smell good for James, how will he respond.

"... I just wanted a drink but I wasn't served and they laughed at me ... I gave them a chance."

James who has such a gentle nature had suddenly turned so cold but don't be fooled, this is just bluffing.

"Little rascal! Do you know who I am ?! I'm Cherrie Jubilee, the biggest cherry grower in the entire region, I control this town, and every new decision to improve this town goes through me first before final approbation. and you come like a flower and you hit the anthill with the only goal of knocking me down, don't you ?! "

James and Cherries 'bodyguards were confused by Cherries' reactions because the problem with her is that the power has gone to her head and she acts as THE most important person in all of Dodge City, the locals are afraid. of her so he plays the comedy otherwise her would be the end of all. And as you have noticed, Cherries Jubilee doesn't like it when you stand up to her.

"What are you going to do now, cowboy?"

James thought about it and said.

"You knew, it is not good for your throat to scream like this, you risk an irritation or even worse loss of voice, if your throat hurts, drink hot honey milk, this sweet and hot drink will relax you and you will feel better. " The three individuals looked at James, he was fascinated by his stupidity, that's when Cherry Jubillee came closer to him, she was literally an inch from James' face and said.

"... You are just a simpleton..We are leaving."

And so the three friends leave, leaving James alone with Mother.

"...Just like home imma right Mother."

"Hiihiihii"

5 minutes later

"It's finally ready:
-provision installed
-horse feeds
-My revolver. "

"It's finally time to take off and save my friend, a long road awaits me but nothing scares me. Mother, let's go."
James got on his mount.
"Hiihiihii."

So James was finally ready to go save Bullets but before leaving the sweet and calm Dodge City, he heard words spoken by a child.

"Daily newspaper, ask for your daily newspaper, big city news on a piece of paper."

James approached curiously.

"Give me one, kiddo."

James was still on his horse.

"Here is sir, that will be 20 cents please."
James gave him 50 cents.
"Keep the changes, kiddo."

"oh thank you sir."

James stood at the entrance to Dodge City and began to read his newspaper.

"I wonder if Grandpa has robbed a bank recently."

James started leafing through the newspaper when he inadvertently came across an article talking about "the Ponyville Massacre."

"W ... What?"

He hesitated to read the rest but he had to know. He then reads the article aloud.

"Last Monday, the small town stalking of Ponyville was the scene of violence and death when the infamous Sister Kallacity interrupted the execution of what would appear to be their brothers by ..."

James found it hard to continue.

"By ... cowardly killing Father Pie at a long-distance ... but he was not the only victim, the matriarch of the Apple family was seriously injured like her grandson, Sheriff Big Mac who had his right hand amputated after it was horribly reduced to flesh by a violent detonation. "

Tears run down James's cheeks.

"But the worst was when the sheriff's wife attempted a heroic charge to rid the land of this miserable bandit which was disfigured by Alsanna the pale, the third sister Kallacity ... In response to all this violence, it's was decided that the prisoner who shares the cell with of the " brother Kallacity", a Native-Equestrian who is likely to be an ally of the family will be entrusted ... will be entrusted to the 501 battalions which will take him to Fort Faust where the soldiers will restore themselves before taking the prisoner to Canterlot, the capital of Equestria where he will be permanently locked in "the Tartarus" the high-security prison of Canterlot. ..Impossible."

James couldn't take it anymore.

"The transfer will take place on Tuesday nightfall..."

James dropped the newspaper and didn't move, it was as if all his strength had left him; then he said in a trembling voice.

"But ... but today is Tuesday ... I have to hurry."

It was then that James launched into a race against time and he must hurry if he wanted to save his friend.

James galloped at full speed across the desert plain of Equestria, he had to save Bullets but he couldn't just go out of the blue, his sisters never attack without being prepared, without a plan. Now it was James' turn to find one because it was getting dark.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world

The quiet little town Ponyville had become one of the safest and at the same time dangerous places in all of Equestria, why dangerous, because usually the 501 Battalion is only made up of the best soldiers of all Equestria, beings capable of infiltrating bases and other enemy territories without even being spotted, then once in position, launch a devastating assault ripping off the map any trace of threat ... it was only natural that he should be their leader. (A man emerging from the shadows.)

CLING- CLING

From his heart only hatred for bandits and other criminal scum of the earth.

CLING-CLING

His midnight blue uniform with golden tip, his golden buttons as well as his epaulets with four stars, his hat bearing the insignia of the eternal sun, the symbol of Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria ... His saber that shed gallons of blood.

CLING-CLING

AND this noise that comes from the many medals hanging on his coat, witness to the many battles he won, his most precious, that of the crystal heart, he was rewarded after having brilliantly defended the crystal empire against the false king (But according to a certain person, he was useless and that it would be the same person who would have saved everyone's ass in this two-dollar conflict) This man is ...

CLING-CLING

the General and Commander-in-Chief Shining Armor, husband of Princess Cadence of the Crystal Realm (he is called that because of his immense concentration of crystal and other crystal cave.) And the brother of Princess Twilight Sparkles (Classified as a defense secret).

"Where is the prisoner?... who gave me such incompetents! The General is annoyed because following the train incident, the 501 Battalion had to replace many of its soldiers who were injured in the explosion. Of the one hundred and twenty soldiers who composed it, three quarters were replaced by new recruits who were just ... bad.

“Private Snips and Private Snails, what are you waiting for to get the prisoner out of his cell!

General Shining is getting impatient...The soldiers respectively calling Snips and Snails are living examples of the word mediocrity, they don't know how to properly hold a gun, they never wake up on time, they often lose sight of their goals, they make up long sentences just to say yes or no but the worst is that they are inseparable, which always leads to serious consequences. Why are they still in the military? Why are they still here? The answer ... Supply and demand

• Following the numerous attacks of bandits in all Equestria, the army decided to recruit more soldiers to defend the innocent citizens of all regions. This is the demand

• But the good citizens of Equestria have already given too much, many are the families who sent the prodigal son to become a soldier ... and many are also those who have received the sad news that their child will not come home. Instead, the good citizens of Equestria sent, the simpletons, the illiterate, the prisons willingly gave the small ragtag to make room, in short, the lowest of the social scale. That's is the supply.

AND now the army has to do with it because there are no other choices.

"The Mayor says we are not allowed to take her." Said Snips, he is short and quite stocky, he has brown hair and he has a high-pitched voice and above all very irritable.

"Yeah ... she ... scary, eh" that's Snail, he lankier and thinner than his friend Snips, he has aquamarine hair, has light yellow freckles and unlike snips, his voice is more low and slow. The general looked them straight in the eye without saying anything and began to grab his sword to punish them for their incompetence when a shrill voice stopped him.

"Nobody touches MY prisoner, it is out of the question for LITTLE SOLDIERS to come to MY town and give ME ORDERS, Understood"

The Mayor of Ponyville couldn't stand the fact that there was a greater authority in her town and was doing everything possible to delay the inevitable.

"Now leave, My prisoner will be hanged tomorrow at dawn and nothing will prevent me from carrying out the will of JUSTICE." Then she fell silent

"…"

The general said nothing in front of this inflicting spectacle, he removed his hand from his saber, motioned for Snip's and Snail to leave then stepped forward and stood right in front of the mayor. She had to lift her head to look Shining in the eye. Suddenly he says.

"From the moment my gaze felll on your town, your prisoner became the property of the 501 Battalion of the Equestria army... Now begone. "

The Mayor did not know what to say, she was devastated because she lost again.-
The first time when the Kallacity attacked the city
- AND this new defeat against an incomparable force.

"... Take it and get out of here ..." Said the mayor in a frail voice.

" As you wish...Snips-Snail go get the prisoner.
"SIR YES SIR"
"YES SIR YES"

Sometime later the soldiers Snips and Snail came out of the prison, they had lost their smile because between them was the prisoner who was at the origin of all the disorder, They still advanced under the beaten gaze of the Mayor for in the final was facing face with the General ... they were silence then Bullets-Catcher spoke.

"You who command the men of war, my people will free me from your wooden castle."

"...I doubt."

The End
