Impressively Applejack had managed to endure almost seven hours of nonstop tickling as they tried to get her to surrender to being Hunter's Captive. It was sunset right now as she writhed in the ropes holding her to the stakes. All five of those ponies scrubbed their feather sticks on her belly. In addition to ten sand tentacles attacking it as well.
Poor Applejack was in huge hysterics by now her laughter extremely hard and frantic sounding aiding to her helpless feeling. Her belly jiggled as those tentacles wiggled along her poor skin, the feather sticks moving in circular motions around it. She could feel her resistance slipping as she was begging for mercy already.
"What happened little pony, you were so confident before." Hunter smirked.
"PLHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHASE OH PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEEASE NO MOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHORE!" Applejack pleaded cutely.
Hunter finally decided to up the ante and go for the clincher. His horn glows again making the sand begin to form into a ball with three pointy brushes at the bottom. This begins to have those brushes sweep in the dead center of her belly, it jiggled faster while her shrieks got louder and her laughter harder.
"I call this the belly sweeper." Hunter smirked.
"NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO NO CAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHALL IT OOHOHOHOHOHOHOFF PLEHEEHEHASE!" Applejack begged adorably.
"The suffering will end once you surrender." Hunter chuckled.
It was all very intense as Applejack's eyes were stuck wide open unable to close them as they streamed tears as well. She pulled on the ropes but they simply wouldn't budge, not that she really wanted to get free right now. Her laughter just kept pouring out of her for another hour before she finally just couldn't take anymore without a break.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHK OK AH SUHUHHUHUHUHUHUHHUHUHURRENDER!" Applejack laughed.
Hunter smirked at this and motioned for his henchponies to pull away from the pony, his sand tools also vanish now as well. Leaving a very exhausted Applejack on the ground staring up at the sky while she panted heavily. Her belly pumping rapidly as she did so, this looked so cute to her captors.
"Oh we did our research too during this, so nice that we've got one of the elements of Harmony here." Hunter smirked.
This naturally got Applejack to let out a cute whimper at being a possible tickle hostage for them to use to get the rest of them. Hunter takes a seat on her waist making her give a cute grunt as well. She blushed a bit as Hunter's gaze was on her heaving belly
"Don't worry though, we won't try to lure them here. But if they attempt to rescue you, then their fair game."
"S-something tells me ah've made you very happy." Applejack chuckled weakly.
"Of course, you see Applejack I've heard of your heroics and have looked up to you so much. So getting a chance to tickle you is a treat."
Hunter placed a hoof on her belly while it pumped adorably. She just laid there eyes half drooped and staring up at the sky while waiting for whatever was next. She felt a tap to her belly, she glanced up at Hunter directing her attention out twenty feet toward two ponies digging a hole.
"O-oh that's right." Applejack gulped cutely.
"We did promise you'd be roasting in the sun didn't we, don't worry though you won't be in danger." Hunter assured with a grin.
"H-heh w-well t-thanks for thinking of me."
An hour later Applejack was now in the hole, buried up to her neck in the sand. Next to her was a bottle of pepsi, it was in a special one that would keep it cold. The sand would only get as hot as 80 degress thanks to Hunter's Magic, of course that's not all it could do.
"S-so it-t'll let me b-breathe under t-the sand huh." Applejack smiled weakly.
"That's right, but we'll wait to do that. Though I do have to ask one thing. Why were you so eager to try and find me?" Hunter smirked.
"F-fair q-question there, if it turned out that y-you weren't a tickle pony. Ah would've put up a lot more of a fight w-with ya, no o-offense but f-five ponies r-really ca-an't do much to me." Applejack smirked weakly.
"Oh none taken, it just get's you tickled."
Applejack really had to wonder how this would be done, but then she got her answer as she felt three sand hands form infront of her belly. They touch it and begin to make her whimper cutely as Hunter grins down at her. Finally they begin scribbling fast on it.
This got her laughing hard once again, her head shook rapidly as it was the only thing she could really move. Her body trembled from this as a result. Those sand fingers scribble all around the poor plump belly making sure to get every inch of it.
"AH'M SOHOHOHOHOHOHORRY AH'M SOOHOHOHOHOHORRY!" Applejack laughed.
The sand hands stop, but they don't vanish. The fingers remain touching on her belly as a warning. Hunter has his tail wiggle underneath Applejac's chin, getting her to raise it. The tail then goes to her nose and begins sweeping on it. It scrunches up as she struggles to hold in a sneeze.
"Aww does this bother you." Hunter teased playfully.
"C-coooome aaaarg come on don't." Applejack groaned cutely.
After a few minutes of this Applejack was forced to let out a cute sneeze, the tail keeps this torment up to get her to sneeze three more times before finally giving her a real break. Letting her sigh in relief, but with a weak smile on her face eyes half drooped.
"That's enough for now, your only ten miles away from the camp so we can see you fine. Still, if you need anything just press that belly into the sand fingers. They'll tickle, but it'll wake me up too." Hunter smirked.
"W-wow s-so ah'm both safe and at your mercy at the s-same time. I-I don't see myself gettin out of this one easily." Applejack chuckled weakly.
"So glad to hear that."
He playfully pats Applejack's head to get the workhorse to blush before walking back towards the camp. Applejack took a drink out of her pepsi and then letting out an adorable yawn. No doubt her friends would grow curious about her situation eventually.
Two days later the sherrif of Appleoosa sent the note to Applejack's family to inform them of where she was currently. Knowing she was in no danger relaxed them a lot and they made sure to tell her friends as well. Naturally Rainbow was the first one to suggest a rescue attempt, Spike had volunteered to go as well.
The two stood in front of Twilight's castle with saddle bags all packed and ready to go. Twilight embraced Spike in a hug for a few minutes before getting in front of them.
"How long should we give you two?" Twilight smiled.
"Give us three days and we'll have her rescued in a snap." Rainbow declared with a grin.
"and if not, well at least she won't be the only one there." Spike chuckled.
In a flash they were off the ground and flying towards Appleloosa at high speed. These two were very eager to get this start, they too enjoyed tickling very much thanks to Red Flame's tickle games, and Rainbow Dash was excited to see if they could get her as well as Aj.
"You got to wonder what their doing to her right now." Spike chuckled.
"Oh yeah poor Aj must really be getting it good if she's been held by them this long." Rainbow smiled.
"Well one way or another, we'll be seeing for ourselves."
They both gulped at the thought of it, as they were well aware there was a high chance that this could fail and they'd end up joining Applejack. Still they wouldn't be going if they weren't prepared for that outcome. It would take them at least two days to get her.
To be continued.
