The Amazing Superfilly

A new morning shined over Ponyville. The same sun over the same landscape. Another day in the land of Equestria. But not everything was the same. A little filly had recieved an extraordinary gift, and she was going to use it for good. For her friends, for the town. But she couldn't go out in public just like that! There several steps to be made. And she would miss none of them. Or at least, none that mattered.

"Alright. First things first." She said as she shoveled through her closet, pieces of clothes and garments flying out. After a few seconds, she pulled a small, blue blanket. It was a little dusty, but nothing a shot rinse could fix. She would need Sweetie's help for this though, but that would come later. Fishing through her closet once again, she took out a cyan shirt, which she immediately put on. Wrapping it around herself like a small cape, she made sure to put small, slightly tight hood over her head, making sure to remove her pink bow first. Carefully, she placed a safety pin through the sides around her neck. It was a little crude and it would fall off if she wasn't careful. There was nothing she could do for her flank though, but the lack of a cutie mark would avoid easy recognition.

For probably the only time in her life, she thanked not having a cutie mark.

"Don't wan't any unwanted attention now... she thought, remembering the mob of ponies that nearly assaulted Mayor Mare as they tried to congratulate her. They would end up trampling her! Or at least, stomp her into the ground. She gave a small laugh at the thought.

"Now, Ah' need a name..."

Grabbing a paper and a pen, she sat down and started scribbling, removing her hood.

Mega Apple? Too obvious.

Superior? Too Tiara like.

Ponyneitor? Too creepy.

Super Fruit? No. Just no.

The list went on and on. A few minutes later, she threw the paper into the trash, missing by a few inches.

"How can this be so hard!? Why can't I-uh?" Her ear twitched. It was soft. Very soft, but there nonetheless. A very soft cry. Almost a whimper.

"Somepony is crying for help! Names can wait." She said as she ran to the door, stopping right in front of it.

"If Ah' go out that way, mah' family will see me." she thought. How to get out then? The whimper continued, pressing on the young filly. Apple Bloom looked around and saw her exit. With a short race, she jumped out the window, giving a quick flip and landing on the ground below with a thump. Following the source of the whimper, she ran at amazing speed, the hood barely staying on her head. She soon arrived at the stream, somewhere between Sweet Apple Acres and Fluttershy's cottage. While it was normally shallow around the farm, the initial rains from autumn had made the stream grow surprisingly rough as it distanced itself from the orchid. At the shore, a young green mare was trying to pull a cart loaded with crates from the water. She was losing the battle and if she didn't manage to pull out soon, she would end up being carried away.

"Somepony help me!" She screamed. Apple Bloom didn't hesitate for a second.

"Here Ah' am! Ah gotcha."" She said as she jumped in front of the mare. Bitting one of the shafts, Apple Bloom started pulling. Her hooves dug a little into the ground with each step, but she didn't give up for a moment. The green mare could only stare in amazement as the little filly easily pulled the her and the cart behind her. After a minute, once both her and the cart were at a safe distance, Apple Bloom let go of the shaft.

"There you go ma'am." Apple Bloom said with pride.

"T-thank you! Thank so much! But how did you do it?" She asked, her mind trying to understand what she saw.

"Just doin' mah' job." Apple Bloom said simply. The mare stared with her jaw open before trotting away with the cart behind her, her mind still reeling from the experience.

"Who are you?" she asked, stopping for a moment

"Ah am...eh...am...Ah' don't know yet." Apple Bloom answered lamely, though the mare didn't seem to care.

"Well, thanks anyway! You saved me and my perfumes! I owe you one!" The mare said happily before trotting away, cart in tow. A sense of satisfaction came over Apple Bloom. She did it! She saved somepony! Her first step in road of a hero was complete! It easier than she thought really. Looking up, she saw how the sun approached the middle of the day. She still had some time.

"Alright, lets go do some heroics."

Deciding against entering the town, at least for now, Apple Bloom strolled around in hopes of finding somepony else in need of assistance. It didn't take her long before she could hear a grunt. Nopony was around her upon inspection. Looking up, she saw a yellow pegasus mare holding a bag, or at least trying to. The rather large sack of mail seemed to be filled to burst and it was even bigger that her! With a snap, the bag broke free from any restraint, starting a free fall. Right on top of the spot where Berry Punch and her daughter Ruby Pinch were having a picnic!

"When did they even get there?!" Apple Bloom thought.

Ruby Pinch was about to grab a sandwich when she was suddenly pushed at amazing speed from her place just as the pony-sized bag slammed on the spot where she was. Stopping a few feet away, Apple Bloom let her go, careful of hiding her face from her classmate. As soon as the shock passed, Berry Punch run towards her daughter, checking her for any injuries. The yellow mare smiled sheepishly as Ruby Pinch gave her a glare.

"Thank you! Oh thank you!" Berry said repeatedly as she hugged her daughter. Apple Bloom was about to respond when a loud crash was heard. Not far, she could see a young worker stallion dangling from the roof a two stories high house, a few tiles falling and shattering on the ground. His shirt was caught a loose nail, slowly ripping away. In a single bound, Apple Bloom arrived right at the roof. The roof trembled a bit with the impact, making the shirt finally rip free and letting the worker, closed his eyes in fright, fall to his death. After a few seconds of darkness but no pain, he dared to look up. Apple Bloom had caught in the nick of time, bitting hard on his shirt.

"Wow..." Was all he manage to say as Apple Bloom pulled him up.

"I almost died. You saved my life!" he thanked.

"No problem, Ah' was just doing ma-ups!" Apple Bloom tried saying before stepping on her cape, sending her tumbling down the roof and all the way into the ground with a soft thud.

"Hey! Little filly! Are you okay?" the stallion shouted from the roof.

"Ah'm fine..." she grunted in response after a few seconds. That had hurt a little

New idea for costume: Shorter cape.

"You're sure?" he asked.

"Yes. Ah'm sure." She said before standing up. Trying to save as much pride as possible, she gave a dramatic twist and left at top speed, heading for her house. Just as she was about to enter the orchid, a small scream stopped her in her tracks.

"You gotta be kidding me!"  she mentally cursed before bolting off.

Straining her ear, she tried following the sound of the scream but it was hard, as it was slowly getting quieter. After nearly five minutes of running around, she finally arrived to her objective: Orange Orchid, Carrot Top's field of carrots and perhaps the only farm in miles that could boast of being of the same quality as Sweet Apple Acres. The wood fence was all torn up at one point, bite marks all over it. Clawed paws had run through the fertile earth, tearing out a few of the carrots. On of the windows was broken, slobs of what appeared to be tree sap on it, along with a few dark wooden splinters.

"Ah got a bad feeling about this..." Apple Bloom thought as she climbed through the window. The inside of the house was a mess, almost everything was torn up. A loud crash from upstairs caught her attention. Immediately running up the stairs, she gasped at what she saw.

A large timberwolf was holding Carrot Top down and about to bite her head off! Without wasting a second, Apple Bloom jumped forward, kicking the timberwolf of Carrot Top and crushing one of it's eyes. One of it's legs fell apart as it slammed on the wall.

"Run!" She yelled at Carrot Top, who ran down the stairs and out of the house. That second of distraction was all the beast needed to rebuild itself. Apple Bloom found herself flung across the room as the wolf swiped a half formed claw at her, making a gash on the shirt. The stubby claws felt like small stings. Not that painful really, but they were there.

"Hey! This was a new shirt you dumb toothpick head!" she yelled as she stood from the collapsed table she fell on. The timberwolf ignored her anger as it charged again. But the young hero was ready for it. Using the partial blindness of the creature, Apple Bloom dodged to the side and gave a potent buck to its head, making explode from the sheer force, sending  shrapnels and wood pieces everywhere. Lacking a head, the rest of the body soon collapsed. Having heard about their rebuilding qualities, Apple Bloom picked the largest piece she could find of the defeated timberwolf and threw it out the window as hard as she could. The rest of the beast so started following the main part, all the way to the Everfree forest.

"Well that was easy." she said with a grin as she stepped outside, only to immediately hugged by a sobbing Carrot Top. To say that she felt awkward was an understatement.

"Um...it's okay..." She awkwardly consoled the mare while patting her in the back.

"Oh my Celestia I was so scared! Thank you thank you thank you!" she thanked before letting go, leaving a very ruffled Apple Bloom, who was doing her best to hide her face.

"S-sure! No problem!" She said. After a few seconds more or making sure Carrot Top was okay, she trotted away, her job fulfilled. She had saved four ponies. All before lunch time!

Lunch time.

"Oh pony feathers! Ah' completely forgot about lunch!"

Running as fast as she could, she quickly jumped over the fence of the orchid and reached the house, a trail of dust behind her. Reaching the side of the house, she jumped all the way to her room. Quickly ditching the cape, she hid the mangled shirt below the bed and tied her pink bow on her mane, just in time as Applejack opened the door.

"Apple Bloom, lunch time." She said.

"Oh, eh, sure, Ah'll, Ah'll, let's go." She said, panting heavily.

"Eh...you alright sugar cube? You look you ran all the way from the library." Applejack asked. Apple Bloom repressed the urge to chuckle.

"Ah've been, eh, jumping on my bed! Yeah, jumping....'cuz it was fun." she invented, giving a glance at her messy bed. Thank all the gods in heaven for her not remembering to make it this morning. Applejack raised an eyebrow, making Apple Bloom put the most convincing smile she had. Which was not convincing at all.

"Alright, let's go, Granny made apple fritters!" Applejack said with a smile before leaving.

"Right behind yah!" Apple Bloom said before letting a long relieved sigh. That was a close call. A few seconds more and Applejack would have found out! Pushing those thoughts out of her head, Apple Bloom went for lunch. All this heroics had made her ravenous!

"Boy, Ah' sure am hungry today." Apple Bloom said as she chomped one of he fritters.

"That's 'couse you're growing up! Ah bet you're gonna be big and strong, just like your mama." Granny Smith said.

"And a bit tidier Ah' hope. Ah don't wanna sound like Rarity, but yer room is a mess Apple Bloom." Applejack said between mouthfuls

"Don't you worry none sis! Ah'll have it done right after lunch!"

"You better. Ah don't want mah sister to be known for her messy room." Applejack said.

"No problem!"

Usually, putting a room in order would take a normal earth pony between ten to fifteen minutes. Apple Bloom managed it in nearly forty five seconds. Super speed had some perks, and she would certainly take advantage of those. But in doing she realized she had a problem. A big problem.

"How in the world am Ah' supposed to use this now?"

The cape was dirty and visibly roughed up in many spots and the cyan shirt was pretty much garbage at this point. The three gashes were long and wide. There was no fixing it. At least, not by a normal tailor. She couldn't tell her family about it or they would ask questions and this was certainly beyond Sweetie Belle's skills. She needed a special tailor. Somepony who's very being was dedicated to clothes and fabrics. Somepony like-

"Excuse me?" Rarity said as she allowed Apple Bloom inside the boutique.

"Ah' need this fixed please." She asked, taking out the damaged cloth out of of her school bag. Rarity nearly gasped at the dirty mess she was presented with. That dirty blanket, that mangled shirt, oh horror!

"How in the world did you manage to do this?!" Rarity as she inspected the damaged suit.

"Ah...Ah took a little fall in the Everfree forest and...Ah' fell on a bush." she said. Rarity didn't seemed convinced.

"Honesty is not my forte, but I do recognize a lie when I hear it." she said.

"Well... Ah was... Ah was..." Apple Bloom stammered, trying to come up with something.

"Apple Bloom." Rarity said firmly.

"Ok ok! Ah have superpowers now so after the whole mess yesterday Ah decided to use to help ponies so Ah made a costume and it got torn up after Ah saved Carrot Top from a timberwolf and now ah have no costume and PLEASE DON'T TELL APPLEJACK!" she finished frantically. rarity raised an eyebrow.

"It's all true Ah' swear. Look all prove it!" Apple Bloom said as she ran scooted one of the heavy designing tables. With a little grunt, she stood up, lifting the whole thing, fabrics, plans and all. After placing it back, she ran in front of Rarity, putting the best puppy eyes she had.

An uncomfortable silence floated for a few seconds.

"Oh...my..." Rarity said. She couldn't believe what she saw. Sweetie Belle was telling the truth!

"So you'll do it?" Apple Bloom asked hopefully.

"Oh? Oh! Eh, does Applejack know of this?" Rarity asked. Apple Bloom's cheerful expression immediately went down cast.

"No she doesn't..." she answered glumly.

"Well, you have to tell dear. As a big sister myself, I always prefer when Sweetie Belle is honest with me. It is the trust that all families should have. And besides, she is bound to discover the truth sooner or later. It would be a lot better if it was from you." Rarity explained.

"But what if she gets mad at me, or tells me to stop?! Ah've just started!"

"I'm afraid that is a chance you will have to take my dear Apple Bloom." Rarity said. Apple Bloom immediately became downcast. Rarity stared at her. Then she stared at the mangled pieces of clothing was levitating. Her heart tugged a little and she sighed in slight annoyance.She was the element of generosity and all.

"Listen Apple Bloom. Let's make a deal..." she said. Apple Bloom perked slightly at the suggestion. Rarity studied the clothes a little more.

"I will fix this...suit...for you, but you may only pick it up after you've spoken with Applejack." Rarity proposed.

"But-"

"No buts. That is my offer. I will talk with Applejack afterwards if it goes awry. Is that alright with you?" Rarity said sweetly.  Apple Bloom smiled a little.

"Alright. Deal." Apple Bloom agreed before leaving.

"Where's Sweetie Belle?" she asked just as she was about to exit.

"Oh, she's in bed right now. The poor thing is feeling terrible. Her throat is all sore and she feels absolutely nauseated." Rarity answered. Apple Bloom frowned a little. Sweetie Belle was sick and Scootaloo was with Rainbow Dash, which left her all alone this time.

Alright. Thanks Rarity!" Apple Bloom said before leaving.

"No problem darling! Now then, where did I put my sportswear fabric roll?"

Apple Bloom walked aimlessly through the town. The afternoon was starting, a soft wind blowing, though not enough to make Sweetie Belle sick. But that wasn't in Apple Blooms mind right now.

Right now she was busy concerning herself with her stubborn sister. She would be lying if she said she wasn't scared. Applejack was known for being protective if her family sometimes to a fault. It wouldn't be the first time that she would stop Apple Bloom from doing something by letting her concern and fear get to her head instead of actually thinking things through.

"But Ah' can't just stop. What would Ah' do with this powers besides helping ponies? What would have happened to them?"

Apple Bloom had saved the lives of four ponies today, one of them a filly like her. If she hadn't been there, what would have happened? Would have those accidents and dangers happened anyways? Grim images of possible results sprang to her mind. She shook herself of them before they got overbearing. She walked in front of the town hall, were a few warning signs had been placed in order to keep the population away. That made three more ponies she had saved.

"Ah' can't give up so easily. Ah have to convince Applejack no matter what. Ah'm a superhero after all!" she vehemently said to herself. With renewed confidence, she left the town hall, making her way to to Sweet Apple Acres.  As she left the town, her new found courage waned a little, but reminded herself of the decision she made. Finally arriving at the house, she steeled herself when she saw Applejack sitting at the table, helping herself to another portion of apple fritters, her stetson hat hanging on the chair. Big Mac was probably still working and Granny Smith was sleeping like a log on her rocker chair.

"Hey Apple Bloom! Want some?" Applejack offered.

"Hey Applejack..." Apple Bloom murmured. Applejack immediately recognized her sister's troubled tone.

"What's wrong sugarcube? Diamond Tiara's been bulllying you again? That no good-"

"No! Ah' mean, it's not that. Can we talk Applejack?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Course we can Apple Bloom, we're sisters!" Applejack said. The glare Apple Bloom gave her made the message finally sink.

"Oh, that kinda talk. Ok, let's go to upstairs." Applejack said. Both sisters slowly made their way to Apple Bloom's room.

"Alright sugarcube, what do you want to tell me?" Applejack asked with a smile.

Apple Bloom took a deep breath.

Here it came.

Meanwhile, in the entrance of the town, a dark wooden creature made it's way through the back alleys, avoiding sight, with a single eye glowing a pale yellow. Close behind it, four more creatures followed closely, their four pairs of eyes glowing with the same color. Their fangs dripped tree sap as they snarled and growled, a fowl breath coming from their muzzles. All of them were here for hunting. But not their leader. He was for something more important.

Revenge.

"...and that's about it." Apple Bloom finished.

Silence reigned in the room. Applejack was amused for a while, but that changed when she realized how serious her little sister was.

"You're serious?" Applejack asked.

"Yes Ah' am. Look." Apple Bloom said as she lifted her bed with a single hoof. The entire thing creaked a little, but that didn't matter at all right now to Applejack.

"Well..." Applejack started.

"Well?" Apple Bloom repeated, trying to hide her hopeful tone.

"Ah gotta say no." Applejack sentenced, her voice stern as a rock.

"What?! Why!?" Apple Bloom asked.

"What do you mean why?! First time Ah' hear of this, even after Granny talked to you, and now you wanna go running around like some sort of hero? You can't be serious!" Applejack answered loudly.

"Ah tried telling you before! About the golden apple! And later about the town hall! But you didn't listen to me both times! You owe me!" Apple Bloom yelled.

"Owe you?! And don't think Ah' owe you letting you go running around and putting yourself in danger! Don't you know how worried we would be?" Applejack asked.

"You!? What about me!? You go running straight into fighting Nightmare Moon and Discord, and then, you go fighting those bug-ponies in Canterlot! Did you stop to think how Ah' felt? How Big Mac and Granny felt?! You don't have a horn or wings or that weird pinkie sense, and yet you pretty much fly into danger! You say you worry for me, but Ah' don't think you do, cause if you did you would at least warn me of it like Ah'm trying to do right now."

Slap.

Apple Bloom didn't expect that. She rubbed the spot on her cheek where the hoof hit her. Looking up, she saw Applejack her hoof still trembling in the air.

"Now you listen to me, Apple Bloom, and you listen to me well. Ah do all those things because I have to. Because otherwise, my friends would get hurt. Because otherwise, my family would get hurt. Because otherwise you would get hurt. You're right, Ah' don't have all those nifty things my friends have. And that's too bad. But for as long as Ah' can breath and buck hard, Ah will keep all of you safe. And that's all precisely because Ah' care." Applejack growled, her face right in front Apple Bloom's

"If you ever say that to me again, you're gonna wish you had twice the muscle you have right now! You understand me?" Applejack said before stomping out of the room, slamming the door in the process.

Apple Bloom was still rubbing her cheek. She didn't feel it. Actually, she hadn't felt the blow at all. But it hurt.

It hurt real bad.

"That...wasn't supposed to happen..." she sniffed, instantly regretting the words she said to Applejack. She was supposed to convince her sister, not argue with her. If there was any moment she really doubted her earlier decision, it was now. She was willing to risk herself, but not sacrifice her relationship with her family! A single tear fell from her eye.

Her ear twitched again.

She didn't want to go. She wasn't in the mood for saving anypony right now. Besides, almost all the accidents earlier could have solved themselves pretty much. She really didn't have to-

Her hear twitched again. This time she recognized the sound.

It was a scream. But something else too. A growl. A very familiar growl.

She looked out the window, the sun was almost gone now. She was about to jump out of reflex, but stopped. She looked at the door, her mind returning the argument. Her eyes switched between the town and the door. Her mind debated with herself.

"Sorry sis..." she whispered.

And with that, Apple Bloom jumped through her window.

Meanwhile, the main market zone was chaos. Ponies ran in fright as the pack of timberwolfs wrecked everything they could find. Four of them eating everything, the fifth one just destroying everything. Apple Bloom stopped at a safe distance, hiding behind a torn store cart. It seemed that they would stay there for a while. Good.

"Lets get that suit."

Rarity carefully set the table. Since Sweetie Belle was sick she wouldn't have worry much about food. A nice soup would do. But Celestia forbid she set the table by just throwing the plates on! All she needed was to serve the food. Carefully, she levitated a soup bowl, filled with steaming stew. She had to be careful now. She want to-

SLAM.

Crash.

"Rarity! Suit! Now!" Apple Bloom yelled, the door nearly yanked from its hinges.

"What happened to the door?!" Rarity asked.

"Doesn't matter. Ah need the suit!" Apple Bloom demanded.

"Did you talk to Applejack?" she asked, her mind still in shock.

"Yes. No. Suit please!"

"We have a deal Apple Bloom, I would mend your suit and you-"

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

"BEASTS!"

"THE HORROR, THE HORROR!"

Rarity blinked a couple of times as the small crowd ran away, probably to the hills.

"Back dresser. Now."

Behind the curtains, on a small foal sized mannequin, was the Apple Blooms suit. Rarity clearly had some fun in it, as it was vastly different from before. The cape was still blue, while the uniform was still the same cyan, just a tad darker.

"I inspired myself with the wonderbolt academy uniform. I just added a mask over your eyes. The cape is shorter too, hat way you wont trip. I also used an enchanted sports fabric. It'll take a lot to tear it, but it will do little against a solid impact. Light, cool and durable. A perfect fit if I do say so myself." Rarity said proudly.

Despite her urgency, Apple Bloom couldn't help but to admire the thing. Rarity had proven once more why she was the master seamstress of Ponyville. A loud roar brought the filly back to reality. With a bit of help from Rarity, Apple Bloom suited up. The top of her mane was completely visible, but it didn't really mattered. It was a perfect fit. The cap hung nicely on from her shoulders and across her back. Her mouth was exposed, but her eyes were covered with a small mask, leaving her eyes free of obstruction.

"Let's do this." Apple Bloom said.

The pack leader snapped the last remaining stick of the selling cart. The market zone was ruined. Broken shafts and torn carpets were all that remained. He was vigilant and sharp, while the rest gorged themselves. The ponies had run to their houses, helplessly watching as the beasts destroyed everything. The element of magic was unreachable and there were no guards at the moment. Who could save them?

"Hey, toothpick head!"

The five wolves raised their heads. The pack leader growled as he recognized the scent from earlier. It was her.

Apple Bloom walked, planting her hooves firmly on the floor. There five of them, all with full grown, sharp claws, and only one of her. She was at a disadvantage. She had handled one of them with little problem. Five of them could be an issue.

"Here goes nothing..." was her final thought before she charged forward.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, Applejack washed the last reminders of tears from her face. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why did she hit her!? She let her temper get the best of her and now had screwed things up. Mean words and hoofs never fixed anything. Ma always said that before she passed away.  What would they think if they knew she had slapped her little sister? True, Apple Bloom said mean things, but that was no excuse.

"Ah' should go up there. Maybe we can try the talk again..." she said to herself as she climbed the stairs. She stopped at Apple Bloom's door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.

"Hey Apple Bloom? Can we talk?" she asked gently.

Silence answered.

"Ah just...want to apologize for hitting you, Ah' didn't meant it..."

Silence again.

"We could try it again y'know? This time in a more civilized manner?"

Silence once more. Applejack frowned.

"Y'know, If Ah' come here apologizing, you could at least open...the...door." Applejack stopped on her tracks. The room was empty. The window was open. The curtains were flowing outwards. A roar echoed through the air all the way from Ponyville.

It didn't take a genius to figure it out.

Applejack didn't even grab her hat as she bolted out of the house.

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom dodged the fangs of a wolf before punching with all her might, knocking out the jaw out of it. Not wasting a second, Apple Bloom delivered a follow up, finally punching the head off the body. Pain erupted from her side as another wolf slashed at her. The suit was undamaged by the claws, but Apple Bloom was not from the blow, making her stagger a little. Out of reflex, Apple Bloom bucked, making a whole in the body of her attacker, splitting it in half.

Two down, three to go.

As the two timberwolves ran upon her, Apple Bloom used her speed to dodge right between them, using her momentum to run through the legs of one of them. The other beast snapped her its jaw at her, nicking her on the hoof, only snap a few of it's fangs on steel hard skin and bone. Apple Bloom grabbed its jaw and pulled, ripping it apart.

Only the pack leader remained.

"Alright toothpick head, let's finish this." She growled.

"APPLE BLOOM"

Apple Bloom looked at her side. It was Applejack, running at all speed. She was about to shout when a snap returned her t the battle. The pieces from the fallen timberwolves floated, slowly forming a small vortex around the pack leader. The mix between leaves and branches blocked her vision. As the vortex died down, she froze in place. A single giant timberwolf stood before here, nearly three times the size of a normal one. And it had seen Applejack.

"Applejack, stop!" she shouted. The large monster saw his chance and took it, slashing a claw at Apple Bloom, sending her flying to a small mountain of debris. Applejack was about to scream before she noticed the monster staring at her. The giant timberwolf roared before lunging at her. Applejack froze place as the large beast fell on top of her, its jaw a mere inches from her face. Raising a paw with a growl, the monster roared as he slammed it on her. Hard. Vengeance would be his.

But not today.

Applejack was frozen in terror and shock, as Apple Bloom did her best to stop the massive paw, pushing with both hooves and all her might.

"You can come here, roaring and grunting. You're pissed. Ah' get it...but..." She said as she slowly pushed the claw away.

"[Nopony messes with my sister." she growled. With a strong punch, Apple Bloom shattered the claw in pieces, making the wood monstrosity recoil.

"And Ah've just about had it with you!" she yelled before jumping, with all her might, at the chest of the monster, going right through it and landing safely on the other side, the head of the pack leader on her hooves. The large Timberwolf trembled for a few seconds before falling apart. Apple flipped the head of the beast in the air, giving it a powerful buck, sending it flying through the sky.

"That should do it." Apple Bloom panted before being hugged fiercely by Applejack. Apple Bloom reeled from the shock for a few seconds, but eventually hugged her back.

"Ah'm sorry sis...Ah shouldn't have said those things before." Apple Bloom said, sniffing a little.

"Ah' shouldn't have slapped yah. That was stupid from me." Applejack said as she cried.

"We both were kinda stupid weren't we?" Apple Bloom said, letting go of her sister.

"Ah guess..." Applejack chuckled as she wiped a tear. She had done it. Apple Bloom had done it. She had fought the monster and won, just like she said she could. Maybe she had a point when she said she wanted to be a hero.

"That kid saved Applejack!" Carrot Top shouted from afar.

"She saved us all!" The perfume pony shouted from behind her cart, far from the battle scene.

"But she's just a filly!" a worker stallion said.

"She's a superfilly!" Ruby shouted from a window. And that was it. More and more ponies started congratulating her and shouting ovations. Both sisters looked around as the town cheered their new hero. Applejack smiled sadly and gave in, realizing that her sister may not be completely right. She was naive and emotional. But she had a point. She could do the hero just fine. And Applejack would have to live with that.

"Superfilly uh?" she said as both of them walked home, Apple Bloom still in her outfit.

"Ah guess so...kinda cliche if you ask me..." Apple Bloom answered as they entered the orchid. Arriving at the house, they stopped just before the door.

"Listen, Applejack, Ah'm-"

"Nevermind sugar cube...You're right..."

"Ah am?"

"Ah've always been worried about you. Maybe, just maybe, a bit too much, And Ah ended up ignoring how you felt about it. So much that it took something like this to make me realize how much of a jerk Ah was being. So, what do say we start over. This time with all the details?" Applejack said with a smile. Apple Bloom stared at her sister before sniffing a little. And then started crying, blubbering apologies while hugging her sister.

"It's ok sugarcube, it's ok..." Applejack cooed while Apple Bloom calmed herself down.

"S-so...you're ok with me being a hero?" Apple Bloom asked.

"For now. But Ah' still wanna talk about tomorrow." Applejack said.

"Ok! Let's go sis!" Apple Bloom said, stepping into the house, followed by Applejack. The entire house was dark. Not a single sound could be heard. Both sister tiptoed their way through, until suddenly the lights came on, revealing a not so happy Big Macintosh.

"You two got some explaining to do."
