"h-hey, y'all." Applejack greeted.

"How do you feel?" Sunset asked.

"Sore all over." Applejack replied with a grunt as she tried sitting up in the bed. "What happened?" She asked.

Rarity sat beside the bed, a concerned look plastered on her face. "You were attacked in your sleep a few nights ago." She explained.

"You mean... He's back?!" Applejack yelped in alarm, turning to Rarity. "He's back, isn't he?"

"I'm not certain, but this is the kind of thing DJ would do." Rarity replied. "I won't hesitate to fight like a ruffian if it means you'll be safe, Applejack."

"Thanks, Rarity." Applejack replied with a blush.

"Anytime, darling." Rarity mused and turned to Sunset. "Shall we?"

Sunset nodded. "Yeah. We've got some work to do." She said.

The others looked at Rarity said Sunset with confusion. "What in the hay are y'all talkin' 'bout?" Applejack asked.

"Well, we came to a conclusion that whatever happened to Rainbow and you, Applejack, wasn't an accident. Someone clearly wants us out of the way so they can continue their tyranny." Sunset replied.

"We have an idea who might be behind hit all." A pair of voices chorused. Two figures stood at the door to the room. One was taller than the other with grey spiky hair. He had dark blue skin and red eyes which glistened with betrayal and hatred. The other figure, shorter than the first, had long red and white hair and baby blue skin.

"Fire Blaze? Alopex?" Fluttershy asked, walking over to the figures.

"It's us alright, 'Shy." The taller figure replied. "Like Sunset clarified, this is no accident. He's back for revenge."

"Revenge?" Rarity asked. "He poisoned Rainbow Dash and almost killed Applejack, his own sister!" She exclaimed.

"DJ poisoned Dash?!" Fire and Alopex exclaimed.

"Tried to, yeah." Pinkie said. "You can go see her."

"Pinkie, I'm right here!" Rainbow pointed out from Sunset's phone screen. "Sunset, turn me around a sec." She said, pleadingly.

Sunset nodded and turned to face Fire Blaze and Alopex while still holding her phone out. "Better?" She asked.

"Yep, thanks." Rainbow replied before turning to her siblings. "Where's Mom and Dad?" She asked.

Fire sighed as he took hold of Alopex's baby blue hands. "They don't know about any of this." He admitted with a frown.

"And it's better they don't!" A gruff, country accent spoke. "You wanna know why?" Another figure jumped forward, connecting his right foot with Fire's side. "Because this is between us only!"

"D-DJ?!" Applejack gulped. "What do ya want from us?"

"My revenge!" DJ barked. "All of you, meet me on the sports field at CHS in 20 minutes!" Before the others could reply, DJ vanished into this air.

"Channel your geodes!" Sunset instructed. "As soon as we all put them on, well race to CHS."

"Great idea, Sunset!" Rarity replied, producing hers and Applejack's geodes and placing Applejack's around her neck. "We have a fight to win!"

They all pony up. Sunset walked over to Applejack and helped her out the bed. "Can you walk?" She asked.

"Ah think so." Applejack said. She took a step forward. "Woah, Nelly!" She yelped in surprise as she almost fell flat on her face if it wasn't for Sunset's quick reflexes. "Thanks, Sunset."

Sunset replied, "no problem." Before gesturing for Applejack to get on her back. "Hop on!"

Applejack gulped before placing her arms around Sunset's neck and hoisting herself up onto her back. "Let's fight!" Applejack thundered. "DJ's goin' down!"

"Lead the way!" Fire said, opening the door and allowing the girls to exit, with Applejack being carried by Sunset.

Author's Note

There's probably gonna be two more chapters before I end this story.

Can DJ be defeated by the girls, Fire Blaze and Alopex, or will he succeeded in defeating them?
