Chapter 4: Doing it Ourselves! (Applejack's PoV)

She watched Twilight close her eyes, shock pulsed through Applejack at the calmness in their dying friend. Most ponies are scared of death, Applejack was one of those many ponies. She had watched her parents die, and had watched her best filly friend die. Applejack was not about to let somepony else close to her pass away, not when she could do something about it!

"No no no,Twilight please don't die! I need you!!!" Spike cried.

Applejack still clung to the purple unicorn's hoof, scared that if she let go Twilight would die.

"What are we gonna do now?! I say we go after that wretched, ugly, swiss-cheese monster!!!!" Rainbow screamed.

"Here here!" Rarity joined.

"I will personaly crush her stupid, worthless skull! No one takes my friends away, NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fluttershy was full of rage and hatred. Also love for Twilight Sparkle.

"We should do the most logical thing possible ya'll that would be tell Princess Celestia and let her decide what to do," Applejack countered knowing that Chrysalis was too strong for them to take on without the elements.

"I agree no pony should get more hurt than they need to," Pinkie Pie agreed.

"I'll get on that letter!" Spike grabbed a quill, ink , and parchment. He quickly jotted down their situation and sent it to the Princess.

"We should get a response any minute now," he informed them as he continued to hug Twilight.

He was quite right because not long later he got a message! It read:


Dear Spike,

I wish you had told me of this earlier. I believe the best thing to do is for me to send some guards to her banishment land. There they may kill her and then Twilight shall be free. I will send my guards right away. Meanwhile do not let anypony else know of this.

Your Princess,
Celestia

After Spike read the letter aloud, everypony was shocked that Celestia was so calm!

"I still say we try and find and kill her ourselves!" R.D. stated.

"Yes! Victory will not be sweet unless we protect her ourselves," Fluttershy joined.

"Let us go and defend our friend!" Rarity cheered.

"Uh, hate to break it to ya'll, but we have no idea where the Swiss Cheese Queen was banished," Applejack lectured them.

"Oh, right," Rainbow smiled sheepishly.

"There must be some way to track her down!" Rarity pressed.

"Wait! Didn't Chrysalis get sent back to where she came from?!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Pinkie has a point," Fluttershy commented.

"There must be a book or something egghead like that that can tell us where she comes from!" Rainbowdash said.

"Ah reckon some of them there boks in Twilight's library can tell us," A.J. told them warily.

Applejack still didn't want to be brash about it , yet there was something inside of her. Anger? No. Hatred? No. Protection? Yes! She now knew what she needed to do! "Lets go and kill us a Changeling Queen!!!!" A.J. cheered.

"I knew you would come around!" Rainbow told her.

"Lets do this!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"I'm gonna go crush that skull!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fluttershy screamed.

"We can do this ourselves!" Rarity joined.
