After getting tired of Rainbow Dash's pranks, Applejack seeks help from Twilight and Derpy to even out the odds. When a Sentry Buster appears before her, Applejack finds a way to get back at Rainbow Dash.
After seeing Applejack suffer from multiple counts of Rainbow Dash's pranks, she asks Twilight for help on dealing with it. When Derpy tampered with the portal in Twilight's Castle, a two-legged walking time bomb appears out of the portal, along with a set of instructions and a remote ipad controller. Upon seeing what the robot is capable of, Applejack comes up with the most wildest prank ever.
On one bright afternoon, a female orange earth pony came to the marketplace in Ponyville hauling a wagon full of apples and apple pies to sell to the other ponies. She had a cowboy hat on her head and has freckles on her face, with her yellow mane and tail tied to her back with a red braid. After spending several hours selling apple pies, she went inside SugarCube Corner to get some cakes to snack on. As soon as Applejack finished eating, she went back to her wagon unaware that the hub caps on her wagon wheels came loose and the next thing the farm knew is that as soon as she went up downhill, the wheels came off an instant and the wagon that Applejack was hauling shoved her in the flank, sending her flying 15 feet in the air. Applejack started screaming her head off as she landed inside the wagon, all covered up in smashed apples. To make matters worse, the wagon that Applejack was on sliding down the hill so fast that she screamed her head off again as she crashed into a nearby house. When the other ponies came to check up on the fiasco, they see a dizzy Applejack lying on top of the wrecked wagon with small wheels circling around her head. After she shook her head, Applejack sees Rainbow Dash, a light-blue pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail, laughing her head off while in mid-air. After Rainbow Dash left, Applejack's face turned bright red, while sulking on the ground.
On the next morning, after Applejack woke up, she went down to get some breakfast for the Apple family at Sweet Apple Acres. As soon as she is done prepping the food for Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, and Big Mac, Applejack hears the doorbell ring. When she went to the door to see who's there, Applejack sees a mail pony deliver a package just for her. The moment Applejack unwrapped the package, a huge huckleberry pie sprang out of the package and smash onto the earth pony's face. The next thing Applejack saw was that the mail pony revealed herself as Rainbow Dash.
Enraged by such trickery, Applejack charged forward and tried to leap at the blue-pegasus only for her to fly upwards and disappeared into the sky.
"RAINBOW DASH!!!!" Applejack yelled in annoyance.
After Applejack took a bath in the barn on the next day after, she went outside only for her to slip over the waxed pavement. Before she could see what was going on, Applejack crashed into a nearby tool shed. As soon as the farm pony got out, Applejack tripped over a bucket of water with her right, front hoof and landed her face onto the dirt. As she looked up, Applejack sees Rainbow Dash cackling like a hyena while in mid-air, before she flew away. After Applejack experienced three days of pranks done by Rainbow Dash, she started to get angrier and angrier.
"GOSH DARNIT, RAINBOW DASH." Applejack snarled out of humiliation. "I'LL DESTROY HER!!!!"
Believing she's had enough, Applejack decides to consult with Twilight Sparkle in her Castle, at the map room, for some advice on how to get back at Rainbow Dash. During their conversation, Derpy, the female cross-eyed pegasus with the yellow mane and tail, was taking a detour around Twilight's Castle, when all of a sudden, she bumped into a portal inside the castle library. Before she could do anything, Derpy sees the portal activating on its own, as a red, swirling light started lighting in the portal's gateway. The next thing Derpy saw was a 15ft tall two-legged robot, with a huge, blue metal, circle-like body filled with blue-lit spikes. Right beside the robot, Derpy sees an instruction manual that illustrates the robot seen right in front of her. After reading the first page of the manual, Derpy concludes that the robot in front of her is called a Sentry Buster, a walking time bomb that beeps until it reaches its target and explodes as soon as it gets close to it. On the left of the Sentry Buster, there is a black ipad. As soon as Derpy placed her hoof over it, the Sentry Buster started moving. It turns out that the ipad was a remote control meant to move the Sentry Buster at will. Upon learning about the Sentry Buster briefly, Derpy came up with the most wildest idea ever; and idea that might help Applejack even out the odds against Rainbow Dash the prankster.
During her consulting with Princess Twilight Sparkle, Applejack was asking if she had any ideas to get Rainbow Dash to stop pulling pranks on her. Just when Twilight was about to give up, Derpy came into the map room, along with the Sentry Buster. Upon seeing the two-legged robot, Applejack and Twilight screamed their heads off.
"EYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Twilight shrieked. "What in the name of Celestia is that thing???"
"DERPY, WHAT IN TARNATION???" Applejack screeched while in a panic.
"Guys, I want to two to meet the Remote Sentry Buster." Derpy said happily as she handed the two ponies the instruction manual.
"Remote Sentry Buster??" Twilight asked. "I never heard of a Sentry Buster before. Derpy where did you find that thing??"
"It appeared from a strange portal inside your castle library, Twilight." Derpy answered while grinning.
When Applejack read the instruction manual talking about the Remote Sentry Buster, it gave Applejack a totally wicked idea.
"You know what, Twi?" Applejack asked the purple alicorn, as she smirked. "Ah think ah have a very crazy idea on how to get even with Rainbow Dash. Derpy, Twi, ya think ya can help me operate this bad boy?!"
"Well, we'll see what we can do, Applejack." Twilight replied with a small smirk on her face.
After making several attempts on operating the remote Sentry Buster, Applejack decides to use the Sentry Buster to make her first move against the prankster Rainbow Dash.
"Just you wait, Rainbow Dash." Applejack snickered to herself while using the ipad to control the Sentry Buster. "You're going to be in for one explosive ride."
After taking the Remote Sentry Buster for a couple of more test drives, Applejack started cackling like a maniac, while Derpy was used as a lab rat when being chased all over the castle by that robot. While on the sidelines, Twilight was snickering when seeing the Sentry Buster run all over the castle hallways through the ipad that was controlling it. The ipad displayed a small screen where the user could see everything through the Remote Sentry Buster's front camera. On the ipad's left edge, it shows 4 directional buttons pointing left, right, forward, and backwards. On the ipad's right edge, it shows a circular mini-radar that displays dots, indicating signs nearby. Just when Applejack is going crazy over controlling the Remote Sentry Buster at will, Twilight ordered her to stop and wait until nightfall, where Rainbow Dash will be caught off guard.
As soon as nightfall appeared in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash was hanging out at a nearby pub with her fellow Wonderbolt members. After the rest of the Wonderbolts went back home, Rainbow took for a stroll down the town square. Without warning, Rainbow started hearing a strange beeping noise, creeping from behind her. Not wanting to think that there's something bad behind her, Rainbow started whistling with her eye looking upward into the clear, blue night sky. As she went to a nearby lamp post somewhere nearby the Gazebo, Rainbow heard thumping noises heading straight for her.
"W-What was that noise?" Rainbow Dash muttered before getting her ego back on. "Hey, Applejack, are you out there? You're not scared of the dark are you?"
Back at Twilight's Castle, Applejack was at the castle's map room with the controlling ipad in her hooves. Upon seeing Rainbow Dash through the Remote Sentry Buster's main camera, the farm pony mare started laughing her head off, while the rest of the Mane 4 watched from behind her.
"This is it, Rainbow Dash." Applejack snickered in excitement. "Your days are numbered!!!"
Back at the Town Square, the light-blue pegasus turned around to see what's behind her. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash's eyes widen with horror after seeing a tall two-legged robot appear next to a lamp post, with its light shinning upon it. Upon seeing the robot walking towards her position, making loud beeps and ticks, Rainbow Dash screamed.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Rainbow shrieked in fear as she started to fly at full speed away from the robot. "What in Sweet Celestia is that thing???"
"Target confirmed! Subject Rainbow Dash, locked on!!!" The Sentry Buster spoke in a robotic voice before it started running in full speed. "ENGAGE RAINBOW DASH!!"
During the chase, Rainbow Dash went hiding underneath the school bell. Unfortunately, the Sentry Buster appeared from the shadow right next to her. Upon seeing it up close and person, Rainbow shrieked like a loud chicken before she took off again, with the Sentry Buster in hot pursuit. In her next hiding place, Rainbow hid near a storage area full of crates. But in just seconds, the Sentry Buster popped out from one of the crates a few feet away from the scared light-blue pegasus. After taking flight again, Rainbow went up to a nearby forest to hide. Then again, the Sentry Buster popped out from one of the trees and appeared right behind the light-blue pegasus, scaring the living vibes out of her. When Rainbow went inside the train station to take a breather, she turns around to see the Sentry Buster appear right behind her again, making loud beeping, ticking noises. In just an instant, the Sentry Buster chases the light-blue pegasus around the ticket booth a dozen times before she flew out the main entrance, like a bat out of hell. Similar events of Rainbow Dash getting chased by the Remote Sentry Buster started occurring from left and right, all over Ponyville. Realizing that there is no escape from the Sentry Buster, Rainbow Dash started going crazy, while screaming her head off. After hearing the loud noises from their houses, the rest of the ponies came out to see what was going on. As robot continued to chase Rainbow Dash all over Ponyville, Derpy makes her announcement through the P.A speakers at the town square.
"ALERT!! A REMOTE SENTRY BUSTER HAS ENTERED THE AREA!!!" Derpy said in a high-pitched tone, while Applejack was controlling the robot with the ipad she had in her hooves.
"EEEEEEYAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed her head as she bursted through the sky while getting chased by the beeping Sentry Buster. "Why won't that bucket of bolts LEAVE ME ALONE??? I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!"
As soon as she reached her home in Cloudsdale, Rainbow immediately slammed the door shut right behind her and barricaded every single door and window all over her house, so that the Sentry Buster will not follow her any further. Even though it was a success, the Sentry Buster keep showing up outside of the windows, freaking out the poor light-blue pegasus to death. After having a runaway experience with the Sentry Buster, Rainbow Dash started sweating like a pig and covered herself up in a huge blanket, while in her bedroom, not wanting the Sentry Buster to harass her any further.
Meanwhile back at Twilight's Castle, Twilight told the Mane 4 on how to operate the remote Sentry Buster with a big ipad. Upon seeing the look on Rainbow Dash's face through the Sentry Buster's sights, the Mane 5 started laughing their heads off, along with Derpy who is sitting at a nearby crystal bench. The next thing they saw from Rainbow Dash was when her mane and tail started stretching out like a lighting bolt.
"This is so fun." Pinkie cheered in a happy, squeaky voice. "Can we do it again, please? Pretty Pretty Pretty, please?"
"Maybe next time, Pinkie Pie." Applejack said otherwise. "For now, let's get some rest. It's way past our bedtime."
After every pony, except Twilight Sparkle, left Twilight's Castle, Applejack took the ipad with her. When the farm pony went back to Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack led the Remote Sentry Buster inside the barn before going to bed. As soon as Applejack closed her and went to sleep, she started laughing and snickering in silent as she made an evil smile.
As for Rainbow Dash, she was not able to sleep at night. Instead, her eyes turned bloodshot red while the light-blue pegasus started hyperventilating after getting chased by the two-legged robot for over a chaotic 30 minutes tops.
"I-I don't know what was going on here, but I-I hope I don't see t-that mechanical horror again next morning!!!" Rainbow Dash said as she started shivering while on top of her bed, covering herself up with her bed sheet.
Early in the morning, Rainbow Dash left home and flew to Wonderbolt HQ to get some breakfast at the cafeteria. By hanging out there, now that she's a full-class Wonderbolt, Rainbow Dash is hoping to get away from the Remote Sentry Buster in no time flat. A few hours later, Spitfire, a yellow female Pegasus with a bright-orange mane and tail, who's also Rainbow Dash's team leader, came by to get breakfast at the cafeteria, she spots Rainbow Dash eating alone at the tables.
"Hey, Rainbow Crash." Spitfire spoke. "You seem to show up earlier than expected. You do realize that our daily warm up routine doesn't start until 0900 hours. So, may I ask why are you here so early in the morning?"
After Rainbow Dash finished stuffing her mouth full with food and gulped it all down her throat, she turned around to face Spitfire before answering her question.
"Let's just say that some whacked-out, living contraption wouldn't stop harassing me last night. And that, I need to find a safe place here in Wonderbolt HQ."
"What kind of living contraption is it?" Spitfire asked, putting pressure on Rainbow Dash further.
"I think it's best that you don't know." Rainbow replied not wanting any pony else get involved in her problems recently.
"Well, if you need anything, I'll be in my office." Spitfire said as grabbed a tray filled with breakfast food before leaving the cafeteria.
Shortly after Spitfire left, an male light-blue pegasus with a black mane and tail appeared in the cafeteria. Upon seeing him, Rainbow's face started showing a small blush on her cheek, for she recognizes the male pegasus as Soarin. When Soarin saw Rainbow Dash at one of the cafeteria tables, he sat down right next to her before asking any questions.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash." Soarin spoke to the female light blue pegasus. "I saw you running around like a scared little chicken back in Ponyville last night. Are you feeling okay?"
"For now, yes." Rainbow Dash replied to her pegasus Colt friend. "I was just only having a flying exercise during the night after I left the pub. Heh! Heh! Heh!"
Despite listening to Rainbow Dash's story, Soarin is still suspecting that his mare friend is hiding something from him, something that scared the living Tartarus out of her. After Rainbow left the cafeteria to do some workouts, Soarin decided to follow her from behind, making sure that nothing happens to her.
Meanwhile back at Sweet Apple Acres, after Applejack ate some breakfast, she went to the barn to check up on Remote Sentry Buster. However, as soon as she got there, Applejack finds that the Sentry Buster is nowhere to be found. As soon as she turned around, Applejack sees Scootaloo and Apple boom riding on top of the two-legged robot, much to the dismay of the elder farm pony.
"Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, get down from there." Applejack ordered impatiently. "That's not a toy."
As soon as they went down, Scootaloo accidentally bumped into the iPad controlling the Sentry Buster. In an instant, the Sentry Buster started moving on its own and disappeared into the clear blue sky as thrusters flare up from it's feet. Just when Applejack looked at the iPad, she sees a waypoint map of the Sentry Buster heading towards the direction of Wonderbolt HQ.
"Oh neilly!!" Applejack shrieked in fear, before turning her attention to the two fillies in anger. "What did ya two whippersnappers do??"
"Well, we thought ya made an invention for us to ride on." Apple Bloom answered sheepishly.
"You cannot touch ma stuff without permission, sis." Applejack snapped in anger. "Twi's gonna be really mad at me for letting something like this get outta control. She already told me to handle it with care. Yet, you gals tampered with it so that it'll fly to Wonderbolts HQ?"
"Well, why did you left it in da barn then, ah?!" Apple Bloom asked her elder sister.
"That ain't yer concern, Apple Bloom. Now get back inside the house." Applejack hissed before she went grabbed the iPad before heading to Twilight's Castle to sort this mess out. "And you, Scootaloo, git on home."
Back at Wonderbolt HQ, Rainbow Dash was performing several aerial drills with her fellow Wonderbolt members, with Spitfire directing to do barrel rolls, sky crawling, and various flying maneuvers. After one hour of drills, Spitfire ordered her Wonderbolt team to land outside of the landing area. As soon as the entire team that Rainbow Dash is in landed on all fours on the ground in the training field, they heard the alarm go off. In just a few seconds, the Public Speaker started raising its voice all over Wonderbolts HQ.
"MAMMA MIA!!! A REMOTE SENTRY BUSTER IS IN THE AREA!!!" The P.A speaker spoke in a high-pitched tone of voice.
"Every pony, form up in a defensive formation." Spitfire ordered her team as they formed up in a straight line defensive formation, 5 feet apart from each other.
Before Spitfire could issue any further orders to her team, however, Rainbow Dash's eyes widen with horror as she spots the remote Sentry Buster pop out from the outdoor checkpoint at the Wonderbolts Training field, much Rainbow's fright. In just an instant, the two-legged robot charged straight into the Wonderbolts team, sending all of them flying in different directions, and started chasing Rainbow Dash all over Wonderbolts HQ.
"GREAT SCOTT, NOT AGAIN!!!" Rainbow Dash shrieked as she tried to make a break for it, much to the confusion of the rest of the Wonderbolt members.
As Rainbow Dash flew as fast as the wind can carry, she hid in the HQ locker room. Just all seems quiet, the Sentry Buster bursted in the locker room and detonate itself in front of Rainbow Dash, causing an explosion. The explosion busted a hole from inside the lower part of the HQ, sending Rainbow spinning upward into the sky by the resulting shockwave. Ultimately, Rainbow was able to regain her flying altitude. But before Rainbow could descend on the ground smoothly, another Sentry Buster appeared, ran past the security checkpoint and started chasing the light-blue pegasus all over the training field.
"YEEEEEEEEKKK!!!" Rainbow screeched in horror while running away from the Sentry Buster. "Some pony save me!!! MAKE IT STOP!! MAAAAAKE IT STOOOOOOP!!"
"Hang on, Rainbow Dash." Soarin said as he flew up into the sky and dived down at the rampaging robot.
Unfortunately, before Soarin could do anything, the Sentry Buster hopped out of Soarin's way and continue to chase Rainbow down the runway. In an instant, Rainbow flew straight behind air traffic control tower. After hiding for a couple of minutes, the Sentry Buster jumped down from the top of the tower and started chasing Rainbow Dash again past the flight training school near by. The Wonderbolt recruits were all standing around not knowing what to do with the robot chasing Rainbow Dash around the area.
As for Spitfire's team, she contacted the Pegasus Royal Guard and the emergency response ponies. At the Cafeteria, Rainbow went inside the area and shut the doors behind her, hoping that the Sentry Buster will not come out from there. However, in just 5 minutes later, the Sentry Buster crashed through the windows from above and smashed a couple of tables upon landing on its two legs. After seeing the two-legged robot crash into the cafeteria, Rainbow Dash yelped in shock and screamed as she bursted her way out the doors and into the corridors of the Wonderbolt Barracks.
With the Sentry Buster chasing the female light-blue pegasus from behind, Rainbow spot 2 rows of eighteen doors right in front of her. She opened up a door on her right, with the Sentry Buster following from behind. After one minute, Rainbow came out from another door and went through the one on the left, with the Sentry Buster on her trail. In just an instant, Rainbow came out from another random door, with the Sentry Buster choosing a different door while chasing her. At random, the pegasus and the two-legged robot start going through door to door, unable to chase each other around, and sometimes, the pegasus started chasing the Sentry Buster instead. After 10 more minutes of chasing each other in the corridors, Rainbow finally reached the exit leading outside of the Wonderbolts Barracks. As soon as the Sentry Buster appeared right behind her, Rainbow immediately took to the skies once again. Before Rainbow could see what was going on behind her, the robot started using its rocket thrusters to levitate itself into the sky before pursuing her while in the air.
Rainbow Dash flew straight into the clouds, hoping to get a storm cloud to zap the robot. However, as soon as Rainbow started zapping the Sentry Buster with a storm cloud, the robot stopped in mid-air. Just when Rainbow Dash got closer to check on the Sentry Buster, the robot acted up again and did something that caught her off guard all of a sudden. The Sentry Buster started flying as fast as a speeding bullet, straight up into the sky to right where the light blue pegasus is. Before she had a chance to react, the Sentry Buster slammed its mass body straight into Rainbow Dash in the face. Upon impact, the light blue pegasus crashed behind the clouds and after she reached the highest height in the sky, she started plummeting straight into the ground, crippled after taking the full brunt of the robot's mass weight. Ultimately, Soarin finally came to Rainbow's rescue. Just when Soarin and Rainbow Dash both landed on the ground again, the Sentry Buster jumped right in front of them, scaring the two Pegasus as they made a run to the security checkpoint, while they both screamed like chickens. However, before the Sentry Buster could chase the two Pegasus outside of the Wonderbolts HQ, it stopped immediately and disappeared after a static flash. Upon seeing this, the two Pegasus started have huge question marks above their heads.
"Just what in the name of Celestia is going on here?" Soarin said as he freaked out after seeing Rainbow Dash injured in his hooves.
Back at Twilight's Castle, Applejack request some help from Twilight on how to disengage the Sentry Buster's automatic functions. After tinkering with the iPad's controls, it turns out that a double-tap on the downward arrow will make the Sentry Buster stand down and a circular motion around the movement arrows will make it teleport itself back to where the iPad is. As soon as Applejack did those commands on the iPad, the Sentry Buster appeared right in front of the farm pony and the purple alicorn, just a few feet away from them. Before any pony could say anything, Twilight Sparkle stepped in.
"Okay, Applejack. How about you let me keep the Sentry Buster for awhile?!" Twilight suggested to the female farm pony. "We still don't know everything about this robot yet; I have to go through a couple of more tests with it first."
"Uh, okay sugar cube." Applejack said, while being ashamed for leaving it alone. "I guess I picked a bad place to store that Sentry Buster, eh?"
"I send you further reports on what I learned about the Sentry Buster." Twilight explained. "For now, just forget what happened at Sweet Apple Acres."
"Thanks, Twi." Applejack acknowledged as she left Twilight's Castle.
At Wonderbolts HQ, the fire team ponies and the medical staff ponies came by to check up on the damages around Wonderbolts HQ and on the ponies involved in the incident. Fortunately, no other pony was injured other than Rainbow Dash. As soon as Rainbow came out of the medical tent, she reveals herself to have bandages and stitches all over her face, head, and stomach. Outside of the HQ checkpoint, Royal Pegasus guards stood by, keeping the other ponies from interfering with the investigation. As for Rainbow Dash, she was, again, traumatized from the fact that the Remote Sentry Buster followed her all the way to Wonderbolts HQ, unnoticed. After taking a few deep breaths from experiencing such a fiasco, Spitfire went up to Rainbow Dash before asking any questions.
"Rainbow Crash, do you even know what that thing was at all? The one who was chasing you all over our HQ?" Spitfire asked while glaring at her sternly.
"I swear I don't know!!!" Rainbow responded in a frightful tone. "I mean, this was second time I was chased by that bucket of bolts. I almost got a heart attack trying to get away from that thing!!!"
"How about you go back home for now, Rainbow Crash." Spitfire suggested for the injured light-blue pegasus. "We'll help deal you deal with that thing later, okay? For now, just go get some extra rest."
"Thank you, ma'am." Rainbow said as she saluted her before being escorted out of the HQ with Soarin's help.
"I swear, to the name of Celestia. If I ever find out who made that robot chase after me, I'm going to buck them straight into outer space!!!" Rainbow Dash snarled to herself as Soarin escorted her back to her home at Cloudsdale.
Twilight's Research Studies, Rainbow's Counseling Therapy
Next Morning, at the Castle of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle made a couple of more tests with the Remote Sentry Buster by reading the instruction manual while operating the iPad that controls the robot. After several more minutes of reading, Twilight finds that if a Sentry Buster gets destroyed, another takes its place immediately. During Twilight's findings, the Remote Sentry Buster can move automatically by pressing all four movement arrows on the iPad all at once. Meanwhile, Derpy Muffins appeared outside of the Castle to deliver the latest headlines from Gabby Gums. After knocking on the castle door several times with her hooves, Derpy finally gets a response from Princess Twilight. The moment Twilight opens the door, she sees the newspaper in Derpy's delivery bag. In an instant, Twilight uses her magic to levitate the newspaper before reading it. The newspaper states that "An unidentified robot wreaks havoc at Wonderbolt HQ." After reading the headlines, before Twilight could say anything, Derpy makes her first speech in front of the princess.
"You should see the look on Rainbow Dash's and Soarin's faces." Derpy cackled happily. "It was so priceless, that I almost fell out of my seat laughing. Her parents were causing quite a commotion at Wonderbolts HQ out of worrying for their daughter's safety."
"Oh. Oh. Oh." Pinkie spoke as she hopped right in front of Derpy and Twilight as she waved all four of her hooves left and right. "When I heard about what happened at Wonderbolt HQ, I just couldn't stop reading this newspaper article for like a dozen, gazillion, trillion minutes this morning. The look on Rainbow Dash's face was just so funny, I even posted it onto Cheerlie's School. The entire class was laughing with me; it was AMAZING!!!"
"Well, now that you mentioned it, has any pony seen Rainbow Dash lately??" Twilight asked both Derpy and Pinkie.
"I think Soarin took Rainbow Dash straight to a counselor to go over her traumatic experience she received at Wonderbolts HQ." Pinkie answered, smiling with a happy squeal.
Meanwhile at the Ponyville Hospital, Rainbow Dash was scheduled for counseling therapist. After explaining the incidents revolving around getting chased by a two-legged robot at Wonderbolt HQ, Therapist Silver Watch writes down everything that Rainbow said in his notepad. He was a red earth pony with a silver mane and tail. He had glasses on his head and bears the cutie mark of a silver pocket watch. In his office, he's sitting on a red chair that's 8 feet across where Rainbow Dash is. She was sitting on top of a green couch in front of Silver Watch. Rainbow's parents and Soarin are sitting outside of Silver's office, hoping that he may have come up with a solution in dealing with the robot that was chasing Rainbow Dash all over the area. After he finished writing down everything that Rainbow Dash explained started from last morning, Silver gets out of his seat before asking questions to the light-blue pegasus.
"So, you're so say that you were chased around by a robot twice? Once at Ponyville and once at Wonderbolts HQ?" Silver asked while adjusting his glasses.
"Y-Yes, it's like that thing was trying to kill me!!!" Rainbow said in a panicked tone. "Even my fellow Wonderbolts weren't able to stop him from coming after me!!!"
"Is this the robot you're talking about?!" Silver asked as he showed Rainbow a drawing of a two-legged robot with a huge round body on a sheet of paper with his left hoof.
Upon seeing the image on the paper, Rainbow yelped in fear and curled herself into a ball, cowering in fear behind the couch.
"I'll take that as a yes." Silver Watch said to himself as he put the picture away in his briefcase. "Do you have any pony that can escort you around?"
"I have Soarin comforting me." Rainbow said while still under a state of fright.
Somewhere outside of the Ponyville Hospital, Applejack was hiding behind a bush while spying on Rainbow Dash at the 3rd floor in the 5th window with a telescope. Upon seeing the light-blue pegasus freaking out, Applejack couldn't stop snickering at herself; however, for some reason, she's starting to feel pretty bad in turning Rainbow Dash in a total laughing stock again. It's just like last time when Gabby Gums was gossiping about Rainbow Dash being a "Super Speedy or Softie" and that the CMC were behind this. However, this time was different because the farm pony was the one making Rainbow Dash look bad in front of the public. Yet, a part of Applejack didn't want to admit it because she still wanted to show Rainbow Dash the error of her ways for pulling too many pranks behind her back. Inside Applejack's self-conscious, it's telling her that she needs to tell Rainbow Dash the truth very soon before it gets worse. After taking a deep breath to herself, Applejack leaves the area while still deciding whether she wants to tell the truth or not.
Back inside the Ponyville Hospital, after asking a few more questions during Rainbow's therapy, Silver finally came up with a solution to minimize the light-blue pegasus' fears.
"Okay, Ms. Rainbow Dash what you need to do is have some pony act as a decoy to lure that robot away from your position." Silver suggested to the light-blue pegasus. "While it's distracted by the decoy, you try to track it down to its source. Once that's done, your Wonderbolt team members will apprehend the one that's controlling that robot. What do you say?"
"That might work." Rainbow acknowledged Silver's solution, followed by a mischievous grin. "And I think I know the perfect pony to do this job."
In just a few hours later, after Rainbow Dash left the Ponyville Hospital, she and Soarin went to Sugar Cube Corner to speak with Pinkie Pie while the rest of the Wonderbolts wait outside. Inside the bakery, they see Pinkie passing out cupcakes to the CMC sitting at a table across Rarity and Fluttershy. After she drops off the cupcakes at their table, the pink pony turns around to see Rainbow Dash staring straight at her in the face, much to her shock. My
"Hi, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow said as she spook the party pony in an instant.
Upon seeing the light blue pegasus pop out of nowhere, Pinkie made a startling, high-pitched scream with her eyes bugging out and her tongue stretching 5 inches at Rainbow's face. The next thing Pinkie did was make a friendly giggling.
"Hee. Hee. Hee. Good one, Rainbow." Pinkie replied in a happy squeaky sound. "So, what brings you and Soarin to Sugar Cube Corner?"
"Pinkie Pie, I have a job for you where your amazing random abilities would be put top good use." Rainbow told the pink pony while she smirked.
"OOOOOoooooo!!! What is it? What is it?" Pinkie asked out of curiosity.
In just seconds, Rainbow goes up to Pinkie and starts whispering in her ear, telling her of a plan of how to expose the suspect behind the Sentry Buster incident at Wonderbolt HQ. As Pinkie went all ears, she started cackling to herself because she happens to come up with a plan of her own.
"Oh goody!!!" Pinkie cheered. "I just can't absolutely, positively, excitedly, amazingly, encouragingly, enthusiastically, wonderously WAIT TO GET STARTED!!!!" Pinkie cheered excitedly as she jumped 10 feet up in the air shouting at the top of her lungs before she covered up her mouth with both of her hooves.
"Easy there, Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said in a calm voice. "We must not let any pony else get involved in our plan other than the Wonderbolts.
Back at Twilight's Castle, Derpy volunteered to help Twilight with her studies over the Sentry Buster's capabilities, along with Applejack. During Twilight's research, they accidentally brought in two more Sentry Busters from the portal inside the Castle Library. As Applejack tested the Sentry Buster trio with her iPad, it now displays a larger screen that shows interior cameras of all three Sentry Busters and a rectangular map that indicates their position. Impressed by such new improvements, Applejack insisted on seeing how it would affect Rainbow Dash getting chased by all three Sentry Busters all at once. Upon looking at the Sentry Buster's target list, which was indicated on the upper right of the iPad's screen, it still holds Rainbow Dash as their primary target. Before Applejack could continue harassing the light-blue pegasus with the three Sentry Busters, Twilight gives out a fair warning not to get carried away with this mechanical prank. However, without saying another word, Applejack ran out the door with the iPad, much to the purple alicorn princess' annoyance.
"Something tells me that Applejack is going to get busted for this!!" Twilight said to herself as she sees Derpy leave with the farm pony after heading out the castle doors.
As Rainbow Dash, Soarin, Pinkie Pie, and the rest of the Wonderbolt members left Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie reached out her hoof to her left outside of the 4th wall and grabbed several huge, ugly disguises of Rainbow Dash. The last time Pinkie presented a costume of an ugly version of Rainbow Dash was during the time that they were on a journey to rescue the CMC from Queen Chrysalis. It was no different from like last time because Rainbow Dash was freaking out twice when Pinkie forcibly stuffed her inside that ugly costume. Before Rainbow Dash could say a word, she sees her colt friend, Soarin get stuffed inside a Rainbow Dash costume.
"GUUUUWAAAAAAHHHHHHH, PINKIE STOP IT!!!!!" Soarin shrieked as he felt his body getting stuff into that ugly Rainbow Dash costume again thanks to Pinkie Pie.
"Relax, Soarin. This is the only way to lure those robots away from the real Rainbow Dash, while she and the rest of her team go in and investigate all over Ponyville to find the source." Pinkie explained in a smug facial expression as the other two Wonderbolt members disguised themselves as Rainbow Dash.
"Why do I feel like I'm not going to enjoy this??" Soarin complained to himself.
"Remember Soarin, you are to do your duty and follow orders without question." Spitfire commanded at the top of her lungs. "IS THAT UNDERSTOOD??!!!"
"Yes, ma'am!!" Soarin replied with a salute in front of his squad leader.
Right next to Soarin, two more team members discarded their Wonderbolt jumpsuits and put on huge Rainbow Dash costumes. Before any pony could say anything, Spitfire steps in front of the three disguised Wonderbolt members, with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash standing behind her.
"Alright ya ladies, your mission is to keep the rampaging robot distracted while Rainbow Crash, Pinkie Pie, and I search all over Ponyville to find the perpetrator behind this robot chase." Spitfire said while issuing orders to the Wonderbolts. "If any of those robots veer away from your position, you contact me immediately incase any of them is about to go after Rainbow Crash again. During your mission, you must make best use out of those Rainbow Dash costumes for as long as possible, until we succeed in catching the perpetrator. Try not to get too close to them and try not to take off those disguises for any reason. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!!!"
"YES MA'AM!!!" All three disguised ponies responded as they saluted their drill sergeant.
After acknowledging Spitfire's orders, the three disguised Wonderbolts flew away to draw attention of the rampaging robot. As for Spitfire, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie, they all hid inside Sugar Cube Corner until they give out the signal.
At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Applebloom went inside the barn to do some more demonstrations with the Sentry Buster Trio. Just when Applejack is about to use the iPad with her hooves again, she notices that her little sister started snickering out of excitement.
"Are ya sure ya want to see Rainbow Dash get chased by the Remote Sentry Buster again?" Applejack asked Applebloom, who is sitting on her right. "If you do, promise me that you won't tell any pony about this."
"Ya know ah won't Applejack." Apple Bloom replied with a happy squeal, followed by a huge smile on her face. "Besides, this is a very fun thing to do!!!"
"Alrighty then, it's show time y'all!!!" Applejack smirked as she activated the startup of the trio Sentry Busters.
In just mere seconds, all three Sentry Busters ran right out of the barn and straight into Ponyville. Upon seeing the three robots appear in their sights, the three disguised Wonderbolts flew away from Sugar Cube Corner in different directions with the robots chasing after them. As for the other three ponies, they split up in search for the culprit behind the Sentry Buster chase. During the chase, the Sentry Busters keep running into other ponies along the way. Lyra and Bon Bon were walking pass the gazebo when suddenly, a wonderbolt disguised as Rainbow Dash flew right past the two ponies. The next thing that happened is when one of the Sentry Busters bumped right into them, sending them crashing into a nearby house.
"Wha?? What in Sweet Celestia is going on here???" Bon Bon asked while in shock.
While the second disguised Wonderbolt made her way past the gazebo, the P.A speaker started raising its voice towards the public.
"HEADS UP!!! A REMOTE SENTRY BUSTER IS IN THE AREA!!!" The P.A Speaker announced.
In less than a second, the second disguised wonderbolt made a beep-beep noise as she ran from the gazebo to right past Cheerlie's School, with the Sentry Buster following from behind. As for the third disguised Wonderbolt member, she lured the 3rd Sentry Buster towards the train station and continued to fly down the railroads, while spitting raspberries at the robot chasing her. During the chase at the train station, every pony, including the train conductor, was staring at the situation dumbfounded.
"NYA! NYA! Can't catch me!!!" The 3rd wonderbolt teased as she sticked her tongue at the robot.
Before she could see what was in front of her, the 3rd Wonderbolt crashed into Derpy while loading up several packages in the storage car. Upon impact, several boxes flew all over the place, with one hitting the Sentry Buster right in the face. After getting hit in the face by a flying box, the Sentry Buster started turning red, with steam coming out of it. Before Derpy could see what was going on, the Sentry Buster started running around the train station in endless circling repetitions. Every pony seeing this, started to get really dizzy and fell right on their backs, totally confused by the robot's fast movement, except for Derpy.
"Woo Hoo!!! Look at that robot go!!" Derpy cheered, while making a funny train noise. "Choo! Choo! Choo! Choo!"
While the Sentry Buster kept running around in circles, the 3rd Wonderbolt was finally able to get up after struggling through the boxes that fell on top of her. Upon seeing the robot run like crazy, the wonderbolt started laughing her head off before flying away from the train station. As for Spitfire, she went to the mayor's office see any pony acting suspicious during the Sentry Buster chase. Rainbow Dash, who is wearing a grey cloak that's covering up her entire body, went around the market place to seek some answers. As for Pinkie Pie, she started popping in random places all over Twilight's Castle, Rarity's Boutique, Fluttershy's Cottage, and all over the Apple Farm.
At the town square, Rainbow Dash hid herself behind a nearby furniture store while the 1st Sentry Buster was chasing down the first disguised Wonderbolts member. Without warning, Derpy comes flying straight into the Sentry Buster on its right and knocks it down by accident. The next thing Derpy saw was that the Sentry Buster still moving its legs while spinning itself on top the ground, lying on its side. Upon seeing this, Derpy, Dinky, and the school fillies started laughing their heads off as they took pictures of the scene. Suddenly, the Sentry Buster made a loud beeping noise and in just less than a minute, it self-detonated in front of Derpy and the little fillies. Instead of being sent flying by the explosion, all of their faces are covered in black, their eyes widened, their mouths opened in shock, and their manes stretched out towards the back of their heads in stiff pointed features. Before any pony could see what was happening, they all collapsed on the ground.
"OH YEAH, TAKE IT TO THE BANK, BABY!!!" Derpy cheered loudly in a excited tone of voice. "LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!!!!"
Meanwhile, while Soarin was being chased by the 2nd Sentry Buster, with one of his Wonderbolt comrades switching places with him, still disguised as Rainbow Dash. During the chase, Soarin eventually lured the Sentry Buster straight towards Twilight's Castle. Just when Soarin went inside the Castle, the Sentry Buster crashed through the front doors and chased him all over the hallways. The next thing that happened is when Soarin went through one door and out the other, with the two-legged robot following him from behind. In the next minute, however, the robot went out from the other door across from where Soarin came out. Both the pegasus and the robot went zig-zagging from door to door in the hallway, while randomly chasing each other around. After 15 minutes of chasing each other, Soarin went into the library where he found the portal opening to another world. As soon as the Sentry Buster entered the library, Soarin immediately tripped over a large stack of books and fell face flat on the ground. In an instant, the Sentry Buster stopped chasing Soarin. Upon seeing this, Soarin started having question marks all over his head.
"W-What just happened??" Soarin asked himself.
Before he could say anymore, Twilight Sparkle and Spike appeared right behind Soarin.
"It appears that the Remote Sentry Buster no longer recognizes you as Rainbow Dash." Twilight explained to the disguised Wonderbolt. "May I ask, why are you wearing that big, scary-looking Raindow Dash disguise??"
"I was ordered by Spitfire to act as a decoy, while she, Rainbow, and Pinkie were on the verge of hunting down the perpetrator that wouldn't stop harassing Rainbow Dash with these robots." Soarin said as he answered Twilight's question. "By the way how an earth did you know the name of this......?? Hey, wait a minute. You didn't really have anything to do with this scary robot, do you?? TELL ME YOU DON'T!!!!"
"As a matter of fact, I have nothing to do with the Sentry Buster's chasing Rainbow Dash around Ponyville or at Wonderbolt HQ." Twilight explained. "From what I learned, this Sentry Buster can only be controlled by a iPad controller.
"So, that means that some pony is using an iPad to control that robot somewhere in Ponyville." Soarin pondered. "Do you know who's crazy enough to do this?"
Before Twilight could say another word, the Sentry Buster started beeping again. The robot was chanting "Target Unconfirmed. I repeat, Target Unconfirmed. Returning to base!!" In an instant, the Sentry Buster ran out of the library and left the Twilight's castle in a jiffy.
"What does that thing mean by returning to base?" Soarin asked as he turned towards Twilight Sparkle.
"I think he means Sweet Apple Acres." Twilight explained.
"If that's the case, then that must mean......" Soarin said to himself before he realized that a shocking turn of events started to unravel. "APPLEJACK!!! I should've known that it was her all along."
Upon hearing what Soarin just said, Twilight smacked herself with her right hoof out of embarrassment. "I warned her not to get too carried away with her pranking retribution."
"Pranking retribution? You don't mean...." Soarin exclaimed as his eyes widen with shock. "Wait, I thought you said that you have nothing to do with it!!!"
"Sorry Soarin, but Derpy caused another accident in the castle library that let the Sentry Buster enter my castle through a portal from another word. Upon seeing what that robot is capable of, Applejack came up with the most craziest idea to get revenge on Rainbow Dash for pranking her." Twilight explained. "She made this decision, leaving me out of this."
"The farm pony is so going to regret this!!!" Soarin hissed as he flew out of the castle through an open window in the castle library.
Meanwhile, back at Ponyville, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Spitfire were scouring all over the area to track down Rainbow's perpetrator. Unfortunately, after 30 minutes, there was no success at all. As Rainbow went on ahead, another Sentry Buster appeared and is chasing down Derpy and one of the disguised Wonderbolts spotted her and charged straight at her with all her might.
"OMGOSH!!! NOT THAT THING AGAIN!!!!" Rainbow shrieked as she flew as fast as a speeding bullet.
As for Pinkie Pie, she appeared dropping down from above the sky and landed right on top of the Sentry Buster, doing a cheerful rodeo.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Pinkie Pie cheered as she made a huge smile while holding onto the robot by its spikes. "WooHoo!! A Rodeo!!!"
While Pinkie latched onto the Sentry Buster, it started running around in circles as if it was trying to make the pink pony dizzy enough to lose her grip on it. Unfortunately, it made Pinkie even more excited than rather dizzy as she started laughing her head off. As for Derpy and Rainbow Dash, they both turned around to see Pinkie riding on top of the Sentry Buster, as if she was riding on a wild bull. Before any pony got closer, the Sentry Buster's beeping gets louder and louder and the next thing they saw was that the robot exploded, sending the Pink Pony crashing into Rainbow Dash, slamming both ponies straight into the wall of a nearby house, leaving behind a huge hole of the two crashing ponies on it.
"Pinkie, get off of me!!!" Rainbow shrieked.
"Oopsie Daisy!!" Pinkie squeal as she got off the light-blue pegasus.
As the two ponies left the house, they see Derpy chase another Sentry Buster that was also chasing one of the disguised Wonderbolt members. Unfortunately, all of the Sentry Busters in the area finally recognized the real Rainbow Dash and ran straight at her immediately.
"SWEET CELESTIA!!! MAKE IT STOOOOOOOPPPP!!!" Rainbow screamed as she took to the skies to shake off the Sentry Buster trio.
"Man, I don't think this would ever stop." Spitfire muttered.
"Ma'am!! I think we found the place where we'll be able to find the perpetrator!!!" Soarin said as he appeared from behind Spitfire.
After hearing what Soarin had to say, Spitfire ordered Rainbow Dash to lure the Sentry Buster straight to Sweet Apple Acres, with the rest of her team following from behind. As Rainbow flew through the streets of Ponyville, all three Sentry Busters chased her, while knocking down every single food stand and pony that accidentally got in the way. Somewhere at Sugar Cube Corner, Lyra Heartstrings came out of the bakery with a piece of cake in her mouth when all of a sudden, one of the Sentry Busters accidentally kicked her in the stomach. The next thing that happened to the mint-green unicorn was that she started rolling straight back into the entrance of Sugar Cube Corner like a bowling ball and crashed into Bon Bon, much to her annoyance and dizziness. As for Rainbow Dash, she finally flew into Sweet Apple Acres. Just when she turned around, Rainbow spit out raspberries at the three robots before zooming all over the Apple Farm.
Back inside the barn, Applejack sees Rainbow Dash flying straight into her home through one of the Sentry Buster's main cameras. Upon seeing this, the farm pony's eyes widen. She realized that Applejack is going to get busted very soon if she doesn't leave the Apple Farm immediately. However, as soon as the farm pony makes her way towards the back entrance of the barn, Spitfire and Soarin appeared right in front of her, with anger in their eyes.
"Oh nelly!!" Applejack muttered to herself in horror. "There goes the neighborhood!!!"
After looking at the iPad that Applejack had in her hooves, Spitfire's face turned bright red with steam coming out of her ears. Upon snorting out of anger, Spitfire ordered her Wonderbolt team members to arrest Applejack for her immediate fiasco with Rainbow Dash.
"APPLEJACK!!!" Spitfire roared furiously. "YOU'VE GOT ALOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!"
Before Applejack could say another word, Soarin grabbed the iPad with his hoof and used it to make all three Sentry Busters stand down from chasing Rainbow Dash all over the Apple Farm. After taking a few deep breaths from flying, Rainbow Dash fainted and collapsed onto the ground out of exhaustion.
"Oh boy. Oh boy!!" Derpy squeaked. "It looks like some pony is plum tuckered out after all that chasing."
After the Wonderbolts brought Applejack into the custody of Wonderbolt HQ, Rainbow Dash's parents filed in lawsuits against Applejack and her siblings and Granny Smith for the damages done on their daughter. Applejack's lawyer meets up with the female earth pony while she was still in jail, going over all the paperwork in the farm pony's civil case. As for Rainbow Dash, her parents and the Wonderbolts demanded a lawsuit of 5,000 bits from the Apple Family. Upon seeing Applejack behind the Sentry Buster incident, the light-blue pegasus was completely shocked and angry at what has ever become of her farm pony friend. For Twilight and Derpy, they have no choice but to secure the Sentry Busters and the remote iPad controller as evidence to be used against Applejack's Civil Case later on. In just several days later, a civil court was being held in session with Spitfire as the judge at Wonderbolts HQ.
At the judge seat, Spitfire is preceding which punishment will be carried out on Applejack.
"Order in the Court. Applejack, who are hereby put on trial for letting a Remote Sentry Buster stalk Rainbow Dash on multiple counts." Spitfire announced in a intense tone of voice. "After investigate all over Ponyville, we have discovered a remote iPad that was used to control these tall two-legged robots, in which has your hoof prints all over it. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF, YOUNG LADY?!!!"
"Well, Rainbow Dash was up to her pranks again." Applejack announced in her defense. "She humiliated me for like three days straight. So, I went to Twi to see if we came find a solution to deal with Rainbow Dash. Without warning, one of those Sentry Busters appeared through the portal, thanks to Derpy Hooves.
Upon hearing what Applejack had to say, most of the Wonderbolts and Rainbow Dash's parents are not taking any of Applejack's statements very seriously. After several minutes of bickering between them and Applejack's family, Spitfire slammed in hammer on the podium five times, ordering every pony to immediate silence before continuing with the civil case.
"Tell me, Applejack. Who else was involved with the Remote Sentry Buster incident?" Spitfire asked the ashamed farm pony.
"Well, Derpy bumped into the portal inside Twi's Castle before those robots came in." Applejack answered "For Twi, she did some research on them, after I gave them a test drive."
"Well, how do you explain that robot wreaking havoc at Wonderbolt HQ when Rainbow Dash was still there??" Spitfire demanded while giving Applejack a very stern look. "Letting an automatic contraption like that run all over a restricted area could cost us a quite a fortune, and can be punishable for 6 months to one of imprisonment!!!"
"Actually, it was on autopilot during that time. And Applebloom and Scootaloo were riding on top of it, tampering with the robot's mechanisms." Applejack said while being embarrassed with herself.
After hearing what Applejack had to say, Spitefire turned towards Princess Twilight for testifying against Applejack.
"So Princess, when you saw that two-legged robot, what did you do first?" Spitfire asked the purple alicorn.
"I went to do some research over it when I found its instruction manual stuck to the iPad controller." Twilight explained. "Believe me, I never touch that remote iPad controller at all. Unfortunately, Applejack just had to grab it and run out the door with it, cackling her head off before I even had a chance to explain the Sentry Buster's details."
"So, you have nothing to do with helping Applejack attack Rainbow Dash with those Sentry Busters?!" Spitfire asked, trying to get the full picture.
"No, I do not." Twilight admitted. "Well, Applejack came up to my doorstep and asked me how to stop the Sentry Buster's from being on autopilot. I did warned Applejack not to get too carried away with ordering those Sentry Busters run around Ponyville. Well, I guess you can say that she went too far in pulling this prank behind Rainbow Dash's back."
After going over what Applejack, Derpy, and Twilight had to say about the incident with the Remote Sentry Buster, Spitfire confirmed that Applejack was the one doing most of the damage upon Rainbow Dash and Wonderbolt HQ, leaving the grey female pegasus and the purple alicorn out of it. As Spitfire moved on, she interviews with Rainbow Dash, going over her witness testimony.
"So, Rainbow Dash, what did you do after we sent you back home to recover from the incident at our HQ?" Spitfire asked.
After giving it some thought, Rainbow finally spoke out to the rest of the public at the civil court. "I went to the Ponyville Hospital to seek some counseling therapy in trying to figure out on how to stop the Sentry Buster from chasing me. That is when I met a therapist named Silver Watch. He suggested for me to have some pony act like a decoy while I go find the source of the problem, accompanied by one of my friends. You already know the rest of that story, right Ma'am?!"
"Of course, Rainbow Dash." Spitfire acknowledged before turning her attention to Soarin. "Soarin, how did it go with distracting that Sentry Buster and luring it away from Rainbow Crash?"
"It was like Tartarus, getting chased all over Ponyville by those horrible things!!!" Soarin said, while still shaken from his recent chase all over the town. "Not to mention that several other ponies got caught up in this chaotic chase."
"Applejack!!!" Spitefire hissed at the farm pony mare. "You owe every pony a really big apology for letting such damages occur in Ponyville and at Wonderbolt HQ."
"Wat about her, ah?!" Applejack asked denying her guilt towards Spitfire as she pointed her hoof at Rainbow Dash. "She owes me an apology from pulling all those pranks on me over the past 3 days."
Despite Applejack's pleading, the Wonderbolts and Rainbow's parents were shouting back at her, calling her a liar. Just when it starts to get worse, Spitfire continuously slammed on the podium with her hammer, demanding total silence.
"That's enough everypony!!!" Spitfire shouted. "Applejack, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to......"
"Okay! Okay!!" Rainbow shouted demanding attention towards every pony. "I'll make a confession. I was just bored not getting Applejack's attention when I attended the last Wonderbolts performance in Ponyville a month earlier. She promised that she would show up, but never did. I was a little disappointed that we ended our performance without Applejack. So, I wanted to have a bit of fun with her first."
"Rainbow Dash, I had an Apple Family Celebration to attend to at Manehattan; it was Uncle Orange's birthday during that time," Applejack confessed. "Ah never had any time ta stay around to see yer performance at Ponyville since Apple Bloom, Big Mac, and Granny Smith were calling me over der."
Upon hearing both of their confessions in the court, Spitfire, again, demanded total silence between both sides.
"I SAID ENOUGH!!!" Spitfire demanded out loud, startling every pony in Rainbow's Family and in Applejack's Family. "If what you both say is true, then I will have no choice but to reduce the Rainbow's Lawsuit down to 2,500 bits and have the other half sent straight to Ponyville. Do I make myself clear?!"
"Yes, ma'am!!!" Both the pegasus and farm pony mares responded in a positive tone.
"And you, Rainbow Dash!!" Spitfire continued as she gave the light-blue pegasus a stern glare. "If I ever hear from you pulling another prank to any pony in Ponyville, other than just Applejack, you will be suspended from the Wonderbolts until further notice. Do you understand me?!"
"Yes, ma'am!!" Rainbow said, feeling ashamed of herself for starting this fiasco, as she saluted her commanding officer.
"Good! Court adjourned!!!" Spitfire announced as she slammed her hammer on top of the podium one more time, ending the civil case.
After leaving the court, Applejack and her family were working overtime at the Apple Farm in selling apple products before sending most of their hard-earned money straight to Ponyville and to Wonderbolt HQ. As for Rainbow Dash, she made it up to Applejack by helping her buck Apples at Sweet Apple Acres before having Big Mac haul them to their street vendors at Ponyville.
"Well, now!" Granny Smith grunted as she started at the smirking pegasus. "Ah hope ya learned yer lesson for messing around my granddaughter like dat."
"Yeah, I know!" Rainbow said in a embarrassed tone. "I didn't think that Applejack would get back at me like that."
Rainbow kicked one tree with her left hind leg while in mid-air, knocking down a couple of apples as they fall into a bucket right below her.
"Well, I'm sorry for not understanding the risks in letting such a contraption run around like dat," Applejack told Rainbow Dash while kicking another tree with her hind hooves, making several more apples fall straight into a nearby bucket.
"I guess we got a little carried away when we both have something going on that's far apart from our friendship routine," Rainbow muttered to herself.
"So, what do ya want ta do then to make up with dis, ah?!" Applejack asked the cyan pegasus.
"How about we both celebrate our events in one day, next year?!" Rainbow Dash suggested to the farm pony mare.
"Ah guess dat might work," Applejack acknowledged Rainbow's idea. "Well ah do need to talk to my relatives first to see if we can work something out between you and I."
"You bet!!" Rainbow replied in a positive tone as she and Applejack both made a hoofbump at each other.
Meanwhile at Dodge Junction, a group of bandits were trying to raid a cart full of cherries that Cherry Jubilee is trying to haul to the Crystal Empire. On the way from the desert plains and before entering the crystal wastes, four bandit earth ponies popped out from the sand and held Cherry and her subordinates by their spears and swords.
"Hold it, ma'am!!" The Bandit Leader hissed. He revealed himself to be a black earth stallion with a brown mane and tail with the cutie mark of a hangman noose. He his armed with a sword in his left hoof and marches towards Cherry as he continued to make his speech. "You have to pay a toll for trespassing in our turf. So, give me all of your cherries!!!"
"Never by the hand of my chiny chin chin!!!" Jubilee sneered as she got smacked in the back of her head by one of the bandit stallions.
Just like that, Jubilee collapsed onto her face out cold. However, just before the bandits are about to steal all of her cherries, they heard a loud thud, followed by a Beep-Beep noise. Startled, the bandits drew out threw swords as their leader shouted out to their unknown stalker.
"WHO'S THERE??!!!" The Bandit Leader shouted, while sweating underneath his breath.
After a few minutes of silence, the Bandit Leader felt like that it was just a prank that some pony is making noise just to scare him.
Somewhere in another part of the desert plains, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are hiding in the rocks several meters above where the bandits are.
"This is going to be so much fun!!" Rainbow Dash snickered with delight.
"You got it sugar cube!!" Applejack grinned as she took out the Control Pad.
When the farmpony gave the control pad to RD, the cyan pegasus giggled cutely as she gains control of the remote sentry buster.
Before the bandits could make any move, the Sentry Buster came down from the sky and landed on top of the Cherry Cart, spooking the vibes out of the thugs. As soon as they turned to face the two-legged robot, one of the Bandits shrieked.
"WHAT THE HAY IS THAT THING??"
"LOOK OUT YA VARMITS!!! THE REMOTE SENTRY BUSTER IS HERE TO KICK YER ASS!!!" Applejack shouted through the megaphone.
As soon as the Sentry Buster jumped down from the cart, it exploded in an instant sending all of the bandits flying and screaming like a bunch of chickens before they disappeared into the clear blue sky. For the Bandit Leader, another sentry buster appeared right behind him. The moment he saw the robot, the bandit screamed his head off as he makes a run for it.
Once the area around the cherry cart was clear, Applejack appeared and help Cherry Jubilee get back on her hooves again.
"Are ya okay?" Applejack asked Cherry.
"What just happened?" Cherry asked back to the orange earth pony.
"I'd say that those bandits won't be stealing any pony's cherries for awhile." Applejack smirked.
"I WANT MY MOMMMMMMMMMMMMIE!!!!" The Bandit Leader shouted as he screamed like a frightened filly.
The last thing every pony saw from the Bandit Leader was him running towards the sun with the Sentry Buster chasing him nonstop all over Dodge Junction.
