After being abducted by a gang of bandits to work in a diamond mine as slave, Applejack attempts to escape to find her sister. With the help of an arrogant unicorn bounty hunter, she travels across a western style Equestria, piecing together the events that lead to her capture. Unfortunately, the leader of the pack of thieves has a reputation for ruthlessness, and she has an unusual hatred for Applejack's new partner…

Inspired by a whole bunch of western movies and games, not to mention MLP: Friendship is Magic. Also inspired by Meldazzar's "Pony Quest."

Nothing is really canon in terms of events in the show, save for names and character attitudes. Rated teen for use of weapons and some distressing situations (death, for example).

Criticism is greatly appriciated since this is my first time writing something in a VERY long time. Also, I apologise for the obscenely long description. You can start reading now.
