Author's Note

Sorry this one's short. I've had a "Titan World" planned for a while and I haven't seen ALL of Attack on Titan yet, so I thought I'd cut it short here. Hope ya'll enjoy it, and I apologize if I'm screwing things up in the storyline.


Titan World

Pinkie practically vibrated in place, Applejack beside her staring at the mirror. Twilight wanted them to go through the mirror this time. Used to Pinkie’s “Pinkie Sense”, Twilight wondered if this would be the one. The “Doozy” of the discovery of their new home. Nodding to the two of them, Pinkie and Applejack walked through the mirror and into their possible new home.

As soon as they entered it, Pinkie wrapped her arm around Applejack’s waist, fired a harpoon looking thing from her waist, and pulled her up to a high rooftop. “Where in tarnation are we?” Applejack asked and Pinkie looked around.

“Stay.” Pinkie said as she jumped off of the roof.

“Pinkie!” Applejack shouted only to see a spinning blur zipping between buildings. Giant... things... dropped like rocks every time she got near the back of their heads. Several people in similar uniforms stopped on the rooftop Applejack was on as Pinkie carved through the giants like a white hot knife through butter. Eventually a harpoon stabbed into the wall below Applejack’s feet and Pinkie shot back to them, clinging to the wall as multiple giants dissolved into smoke.

“How in the hell...?” One of the people that hand landed near Applejack asked.

“Uh... Pinkie... Ah’m assumin’ this ain’t the world fer us?” Applejack asked and Pinkie shook her head.

“Nopie Dopie.” Pinkie said before dropping off of the roof, her harpoon hooking into the wall where it had just been, and lowering down to ground level. Pinkie came up a second later with the mirror tucked under her arm.

“Guess we’re headin’ back then?” Applejack asked, touching the mirror. “What in tarnation?”

“It won’t work for twenty four hours Applejack.” Pinkie said and Applejack groaned.

“Great. This world is terrible and we’re stuck here until tomorrow.”

“I won’t argue that this world is terrible, but it’s our world.” Someone said as she approached Applejack. “Name’s Captain Dash. Who’re you?” Rainbow Dash said, extending a hand.

“Ah’m Applejack. This’s mah friend Pinkie Pie.”

“Hello.” Pinkie said, waving rapidly.

“Welcome to Ponyville District. Population, us and a bunch of Titans. Minus the seven your friend there took out.” Rainbow said then turned to Pinkie. “By the way, that one over there. Don’t kill it.” Rainbow said, pointing her blade at a Titan that was bull rushing its own kind. “She’s with us. Long story.”

“That’s Twilight and she has the ability to turn into a Titan, you don’t know where she got it, but she’s using it to avenge her mom’s death after her mom was eaten by a Titan. You’re Rainbow Dash, Captain of the Dash Squad, the best Titan Killers in all of Equestria. And you’re Sunset Shimmer, Twilight’s best friend who secretly has a huge crush on Twilight even though everyone but Twilight knows.” Pinkie said, pointing to each of them as she named them off. Rainbow quirked a brow at Sunset before turning to Pinkie.

“How do you know that?”

“Pinkie Sense.” Pinkie said and Rainbow opened her mouth to argue, only for Applejack to touch her shoulder.

“Don’t question it sugar cube. You’ll feel better in the mornin’ for it. Ah’m Applejack.” Applejack said and Rainbow nodded. They all jumped when they heard a roar off in the distance.

“That’s Twilight. Let’s go.” Sunset said, jumping off of the roof and speeding away by the hooks at her waist before Rainbow could argue. Rainbow groaned and followed Sunset, the others right behind her. Applejack took a second to get used to using her belt to move but she eventually met up with Rainbow, Sunset, and Pinkie. Pinkie was hanging back slightly as Twilight tore a Titan to ribbons, tossing it aside before starting on another one. When Applejack reached her, she opened her mouth to ask what was going on.

“We’ve gotta make sure Twilight survives.” Pinkie said and Applejack couldn’t have agreed more. Right up until Pinkie and Sunset dove off of the roof, their belts speeding them off towards Twilight. Rainbow sighed, sat down and pulled out a flask, taking a swig before offering it to Applejack.

“Shouldn’t we help?”

“They’ll be fine. Twilight’s a Titan and Sunset’s our best Scout.” Rainbow said as Applejack joined her on the rooftop. “Not sure about your friend though.” Rainbow said as Pinkie zipped through the open mouth of a Titan, slashing its mouth open by cutting its jaws as she passed. “Or not... she’s as good as Sunset. How long as she been training?”

“Um... she’s just a natural.” Applejack said, watching Pinkie tear through Titans like they were cakes. Applejack took a drink from Rainbow’s flask then looked at it. “Cider...?”

“Yup. From Sweet Apple Acres. The last we’ve got since the Titans overran the place a couple years ago.”

“Sweet Apple Acres is gone...?”

“Yup. Your brother, sister and grandma too.” Rainbow said and Applejack nearly spat out her drink before looking at Rainbow. “What? You think I wouldn’t recognize the name of my best friend. I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s good to see you again, AJ.”

“Yeah...” Applejack said, taking a drink from the flask before passing it back to Rainbow.

“I didn’t think Pinkie would be this good at killing Titans.”

“Ah didn’t think Twilight would be one’o those things.”

“From what Sunset tells us, Twilight was apparently eaten by a titan about a month ago then, suddenly, she tears her way out of it. She wasn’t exactly in control of her facilities at the time and nearly killed Sunset, but with Twilight’s help we sealed the breach in the inner wall and then sealed the breach in the outer wall when we finally found it. Now we’re just clearing the area so Twilight can get to the cellar of her house and find out some mystery.”

“Wow. So... ya’ll’re like... freedom fighters?”

“In a way, yeah.” Dash said, peering down over the edge. Applejack followed her gaze and nearly jumped out of her skin. There was a small titan staring up at them. Just staring. Dash opened the flask and poured some cider on its head. Its reaction was slow, opening its mouth slowly. Dash grinned, pulled out a lighter, and lit the stream of cider, dropping the flask. When the flask hit the Titan’s tongue, Dash yanked Applejack back as the things head exploded.

“You made mah cider explosive.” Applejack said and Dash nodded.

“We made do with whatever we could get.” Dash said as she produced another flask of cider, taking a drink of it.
“Hey, AJ?”

“Yeah Dash?”

“Promise you won’t get mad.” Dash said and Applejack looked at her.

“Sure. Ah promise.” Applejack said and Dash nodded, took another drink then turned and pressed her lips to Applejack’s. Applejack froze as Dash kissed her, Dash’s fingers finding Applejack’s hair and twining in the ponytail. The kiss wasn’t invasive, possessive or aggressive. It was chaste and unsure.

“I wanted to do that to this world’s version of you.” Dash said when they parted and AJ looked at her friend, touching her lips gently. “She... got eaten before I got the chance.”

“She didn’t come back as a Titan?” Dash shook her head, staring down at the burning corpse of the Titan. “Well, if it’s any consolation at all, yer a good kisser.” Applejack said, kissing Dash’s cheek. “Ah’m sorry Dash. Wish Ah could actually be her for ya.”

“But you’re going back. This world isn’t safe for your friends and family. I know.” Dash said and Applejack nodded. Pinkie dropped onto the roof, Titan blood evaporating off of her as she stood and stared at them.

“I saw Cheerilee, Rose and Lilly, Octavia, and a few of our other friends out there, Applejack.” Pinkie said, her mane flat.

“Did you...?”

“Did you kill Octavia?”

“No. I didn’t get the chance. Someone else showed up.” Pinkie said and Rainbow nodded.

“Vinyl.” Rainbow said as she stood up. Applejack followed Rainbow’s lead before the group dropped off of the roof and flew through the streets, scanning for survivors or more Titans. They were soon joined by a unicorn with two blades still steaming with Titan blood, her sunglasses unmistakable. “I’m sorry Vinyl.” Rainbow said and Vinyl merely waved her off. “Right... let’s get to Ponyville District.” Rainbow said and the lot of them flew over the walls.

Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie and Twilight all landed on a rooftop a few feet away from a group of Titans. “Is it just me, or does it look like they’re sifting through the rubble?”

“That’s exactly what it looks like.” Twilight said.

“Alright Twi, do your thing.” Rainbow said and Twilight nodded, jumped off of the roof and bit her hand. Applejack shielded her eyes as lightning struck Twilight. When the smoke cleared, Titan Twilight roared out of the smoke and full body tackled three of the larger titans. Rainbow was right behind her, slashing the neck of the smaller one. Pinkie and Applejack followed her lead, the three of them landing in the rubble of Twilight’s house.

“Now to get into the cellar... under this rubble...”

“Move.” A voice said and Rainbow ducked out of the way as a cannon was slammed into the chunk of wall. Looking over, she saw someone she hadn’t expected land beside her.

“Holy shit.”

“Sup Rainbows?” Arcane asked as his ODM retracted into the ready position.

“I saw you get eaten. By Twilight.”

"There’s your cue. Twilight ate me. It was a ruse. Had to get me into Ponyville somehow, right?” He said as he bent to move more rubble. He was gently pushed aside by a massive hand before a fist came down, shattering the door. “Well, that’s easy, isn’t it? Thanks Twi. You cover us. I’ll grab everything movable.” He said as he dropped into the cellar. Twilight nodded and turned to catch a tackle from a massive Titan made of muscle. Bulk Biceps. Pinkie followed Arcane into the cellar, followed shortly after by Applejack and Rainbow.

“Ok... what exactly is Twilight looking for here?” Arcane asked and Rainbow shrugged. A second later, Sunset dropped in behind them and walked over to a desk.

“Whatever it is, it goes to this key. Bring me everything with a lock on it.” She said as she tried the locks on the desk. Everyone scattered around the basement, collecting locked chests and books and carrying them over to Sunset. She tried every single one they brought. Eventually, Pinkie brought her another book. Sunset was about to open it when a hand reached through an opening in the roof and grabbed her, pulling her out of the basement and towards a pair of waiting jaws. Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow and Arcane all moved immediately. Arcane shot to the right before his ODM sent him rocketing at the Titan’s legs, a spinning wheel of sharp blades and imminent death.

His blades slashed through the Achilles tendons on the Titan, dropping it like a rock. Sunset rolled free, catching herself with her ODM and flying off towards Twilight, landing on Twilight’s shoulder as Twilight walked over, the Titan’s she’d been dealing with dispatched. Pinkie spiraled up straight through the Titan’s middle while Rainbow and Applejack crossed the Titan’s shoulder blades. The nape of its neck fell free as it keeled over. Sunset walked over and kicked one of its ribs out of the way, the force of her kick breaking the rib in two. Seconds before Sunset could open the book, Arcane arrived with the mirror Applejack and Pinkie had come through.

“Time for you two to go. Sunset, pocket that thing now.” He said as he looked towards the wall. Running at them was another Titan, this one covered head to toe in bone plates like armor. Sunset pocketed the book and Applejack was about to ask where Rainbow was when Arcane slammed the mirror over their heads, sending them through with an explosion of magic energy. Pinkie and Applejack tumbled through the Mirror Room, winding up against the wall, as the crystal leading to the Titan World shattered.

“No!” Applejack shouted as she turned to the crystal shards, picking them up.

“Applejack? What is it?” Twilight asked, staring at the crystal shards.

“Mark that world off Twilight...” Pinkie said, her mane going flat. Twilight nodded and marked the Titan World off of the list as Rainbow and Fluttershy walked into the room. Applejack ran over to Rainbow and hugged her tight.

“Whoa there cowgirl. What’s up?” Rainbow asked, hugging Applejack back. When AJ didn’t respond, Rainbow looked to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie shook her head, miming she’d explain later before she and Twilight walked off.
