A Glow Shines on the Fallen
Chapter 21: Setting the Stage
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApple Bloom was on her phone, she had just sent a text to Sweetie Belle I need your help with something. I have a plan to bring down Sunset Shimmer once and for all.
Sweetie Belle sent a message back but her words were less than civil I have no interest in joining on the quest for vengeance, I am giving you one warning from one friend to another leave these behind you before you do something you can’t take back.
Apple Bloom frowned “So it seems my friends have abandoned me. It seems Ah will need to find others who have reason to strike at Sunset Shimmer.” She frowned as she listed out names of those that may help her. Lightning Dust, Trixie Lulamoon, Fido,
Spot, Rover, Flash Sentry and Garble.
She spent the rest of the day in her room until dinner, Apple Bloom and Applejack simply quietly ate their food not even bothering to look at each other. Big Mac and Granny Smith looked between the two unwilling to break the tension between the two girls.
Apple Bloom finished her food and smiled at Granny Smith “May Ah be excused?”
Granny Smith nodded “Yes you can.” She then turned to Applejack as Apple Bloom headed to her room “Did something happen between you two today?”
Applejack grimaced “Apple Bloom tried to hurt Sunset using a set of marbles Scootaloo got her. She is heading down a very dark path and Ah’m worried she will do something that can’t be taken back.”
Big Mac frowned “She is our family Applejack, we may not be able to stop but we must be there to pick up the pieces. I just hope that she doesn’t do anything foolish.”
Granny Smith nodded “Ah agree, still Ah will punish her accordingly if acts out of line.” Meanwhile Apple Bloom was laying in her bed sleeping with thoughts on her mind of how she was going to pull this off.
The next morning Apple Bloom arrived at the school with her sister, she glared at Sweetie Belle who was spending time with Scootaloo. She shook her head and went to find the first person on her list, Lightning Dust was out in the fields out the back of the school.
Apple Bloom approached the girl “Lightning Dust, Ah was hoping for you to help me with something?”
Lightning Dust frowned “You’re the little sister of Applejack, aren’t you? What do you want my help for anyway?”
Apple Bloom smiled “Simple, Ah want to take Sunset Shimmer down. Ah was hoping for you to assist me in this endeavour, Ah know she blackmailed you during her dark days.”
Lighting Dust growled “Little Miss Apple, do you take me for a fool?! I know your game, you want to bring her down through any means possible! I am not interested in vengeance! I cut my losses and moved on, now scram before things get messy!”
Apple Bloom left crossing off Lightning Dust from her list, surely Trixie would be interested. Trixie was in the auditorium practising her magic tricks when Apple Bloom approached “Ah have a proposition for you…”
Trixie frowned “You mean the same one you gave my girlfriend, no thanks. I may mock Sunset a little with a few words but that’s as far as I’ll go, long term revenge plans are not my thing.”
Apple Bloom had to get to classes as the bell rang, she grumbled to herself how the smarter people on the list didn’t join her. Still after classes she found Fido, Rover and Spot also known as the Diamond Dogs. Rover was gray skinned with blueish gray hair, Rover had dark blue skin and reddish hair, Spot had greyish gamboge skin with black hair.
Rover frowned “What does the youngest of Apple siblings want with Diamond Dogs?”
Apple Bloom grinned “Ah want to bring Sunset down, to get everyone to hate her but IAh need your help. Ah need to dig up secrets of people and blame it on her.”
Spot grinned “Well I like the sound of that.”
Apple Bloom frowned “Can you get Flash Sentry and Garble over here,Ah have feeling both of them will also join us. Also we can’t meet in school otherwise they will but we can exchange numbers and contact each other that way.”
Fido chuckled “This will be perfect, we will bring down the demon forever.”
It was not long before the Diamond Dogs had gathered Flash Sentry and a red skinned fearsome figure that everyone recognised as Garble. Garble growled “Okay why the fuck are we here exactly?!”
Apple Bloom grinned “To take down Sunset Shimmer, Ah’m sure she had something on you before. Well now we are going to make her pay but first we need a ton of secrets to post.”
Flash grinned “I’m game, I could use some payback that doesn’t get Cozy Glow targeting my balls.”
Garble laughed “I’m impressed, for one so young you have a good plan. Destroy her reputation with secrets and get the school to turn against her, this is going to be a lot of fun.” Apple Bloom giggled to herself, everything was going to plan and soon she would have Sunset hated by all.
