Today is the apple season of the farm. Applejack was looking forward to making delicious juices with red fruit.
The orange farmer waited for the sun to rise to begin with, kicking hooves to knock apples off the apple tree, but they were siphoned off like raisins.
"What is it?" Applejack examines to find the cause and discovers that fruit vampire bats are installed here.
- Pests... I would need help.
The farmer goes to her friends to ask for help in order to get rid of her pests. Dusk, Eclipse, Night Fang (bat shape because of the sun, Rainbow, Rarity , Fluttershy and Pinkie are there.
"Night Fang you could ask your parasitic comrades to leave?"
"What!? Parasite, how dare you treat his beasts parasites?" Fang finds AJ's remark offended.
"Fang, I'm sure Applejack didn't mean that, please can you talk to them?" Moony asks Fang.
The night spirit accepts. "Okay Applejack, I'll talk to them."
She says with a evil smile and flies to the vampire beasts. Night Fang engages in conversation with fruit vore.
Their conversation lasts only 3 minutes and Fang returns to them.
"So they're going to go away?" Applejack asks the shadow mind.
"I have to be told to them: Good appetite." the vampire spirit pony answered.
"Wait, why did you said..." The farmer questions.
The horde of fruit devourer emerges from the apple tree in front and they go after other trees to devour their container.
"Night Fang,You're supposed to tell them to leave!"
"I was wrong in my words.."
“Friends, we must prevent his gluttons from devouring the apple crop."
"Okay. " They disperse to gather them.
Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie and Eclipse have no trouble looking like them except Dusk Shine.
"Ahhhh! Why when there is a problem with animals, I am the only one who gets attacked by them?"
Fruit bats bite it with their small, pointed tooth. After several bites later, they arrive to gather them all on an apple tree.
"Fluttershy, can you use your stare while I cast the spells?"
The shy pegasus didn't want to do it but she had no other choice to help the farmer.
The shy pegasus approaches them and casts her petrifying gaze. Bats are freezing. The purple stallion launches the bewitchment that affects all the winged beasts.
For a moment Flutter felt the bewitchment the touch too. One thing in it changes...
(...) Night Fang and Celeste have noticed you spells to hit Fluttershy too.
"Did it work?" The white unicorn asks. She takes an apple with her magic and rides it to the mini vampire.
Little beasts are disgusted. "It worked! Thank you very much Dusk and Fluttershy thanks to you the harvest is saved. "
"Welcome, AJ."
"It was a pleasure to help you."
Dusk, Mane 4 and Moony leave. The yellow pegasus remains some to observe the juicy apple and it salivates by the taste.
"Flutter, are you coming?" The pink pony asks her shy friend.
"Yes, Pinkie I'm coming..." She observes the delicious red fruit that makes you want to eat it.
The day is over and the night is set. A mysterious nocturnal creature flies over the field of apple trees and devours each of the red fruits.
The night has arrived in Ponyville. Citizens are sleeping at a close. Night Fang leaves the house to observe the following events.
During the night, Night Fang returns to its original appearance and sits on the roof of the Apple family farm.
“It's going to start.” A shadow appears on the fields of apple trees and devours the apples.
Celeste joins Night Fang on the roof.
"Fang, you know you could have warned Moony's brother or solved the problem before that becomes dangerous?"" Celeste tell the vampire pony.
"Yes, I could do it, but I'd rather be an observer." She replied.
“...” The spirit of magic makes no further comments.
In the morning the rooster's song wakes up Applejack.” Apple harvest, part two. "
The farmer dropped the apples from the apple tree, but the red fruits that were falling were already eating.
"What is that? My Apples?" AJ brings Dusk and Moony with her to make sure the spell is still active.
"Dusk, are you sure your enchantment worked well?"
"Of course Applejack, look." He shows an apple to one of the bats. who rejects it.
"So if it wasn't them, who did it?"
The purple filly was playing with the farm animals, she noticed that the canine marks on the apple were too big to belong to that of the bat.
And show to his big brother.
”Dusk look” Dusk examines him.
"Applejack, I think you're dealing with another critter."
"Another parasite of his mini monster? There's no way he's going to touch my apples, tonight we're going to catch this thief."
Fang/ Céleste : …
The night appears in the sky of Ponyville. To catch the mysterious thief. The farmer asks Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Dusk, Moony and Rainbow for help.
"Un mystérieux voleur? Ça l'aire intéressent." La pégase bleue est excité par ce mystère.
"Rainbow, there is nothing interested, we must stop the burglary from appropriating these fruits if not it will not Cider!"
"No Cider!?! No pony will stand between me and the Ciders!" She was determined to stop the thief.
"Yeah, not like last time." Pinkie said.
"What happened?" Eclipse asks.
"Saying... "Rarity early." It's better you don't know the details. "She said.
The purple stallion and the filly isn't trying to find out more about this. "Moony you stay close to the farm for your safety."
"But big brother?"
"Eclipse is for your safety." No choice is the purple filly staying by the barn.
The Mane 5 and Dusk explore the apple field to look for the culprit who stole the apples. They split into six groups of two and separate.
Rarity and Dusk look around, AJ and Dashie look near the gang, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie look near the trees.
But Fluttershy has a strange desire to taste apples. "Fluttershy are okay? Do you seem to be disturbed by apples?"
"... It's fine Pinkie, just a little hunger." She says with a small voice.
To calm her hunger, Pinkie gives her a cupcake favor apple to the shy girl. When she took a bite, her personality changes...
"Fluttershy?" The yellow mare looks at her friend with a look of a demon and fangs have grown, she attacks Pinkie.
"Ahhhh!" She screams echoes, her friends hear me from their position.
"Pinkie!!" They run to where the two mares were, the only thing they found was a half-eaten mini cake.
"What happened here?"
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling... !!!" the white girl is kidnapped by the shadowy creature.
“Rarity!”
"Come on, go back to the farm, we'll be safe." Dusk Shine said.
Dusk, AJ and Dashie run to the Apple family farm but the shadows chase them. Like a predator that hunts its prey, the shadow is really fast.
"Vite, the shadow is behind..." the last words of the blue pegasus.
The purple pony and the farmer stop for a second, they saw that their friend was missing.
"Dashie, this thing has to kidnap Dash!" AJ will try to help the pegasus but Dusk prevents it.
"Applejack, we must keep running!"
"But our friends?"
"I know it's hard but I'm sure at the library we'll have a solution to solve this."
"..." The two ponies return to Applejack's house, but the mysterious beast is still chasing them.
"We're close... " Arrives towards the field of vegetables, the purple stallion gets taken the shady creature.
"Dusk!!!" the beast flies towards the orange mare. This thing lands on the ground and moves dangerously towards the farmer.
"Who are you? Why did you take it from my friends?"
"..." The beast keeps moving. The clouds that hid the lunar rays and revealed the monster.
"Fluttershy!?! Why do you have bat wings? Do you have demon eyes?"
"Hisssss!" Flutterbat takes on the farmer.
Because of the fear, she closes her eyes. Silence invades and opens his eyes to see that fruit vampires were helping him.
"Parasites..." The fruit vampires made diversion to allow the girl to run away.
She arrives in front of the farm house and catches her breath in order to recover.
(Why did these parasites help me? I insulted them several times and I even try to drive them off the farm...)
??? : So, what does it do to be helped by the creature you hate?
"Who said that?"
??? :Me, your dark side... Applejack Shadow.
It's dark silhouette comes to life. "Are you my shadow?"
"Yes, and I'm here to give you two options that will be able to settle this."
"What an option, no matter! To save my friends I would be willing to do anything to save them."
"Do anything? in which case you'll be ready to negotiate with the bats?"
"Negotiating with his harmful beasts? Let me think... “
"She's coming" Her shadow warn her and Flutterbat is behind her.
The vampire pony advances towards the farmer threaten and AJ doesn't have much time to think.
"So?" She asked.
"..." The farmer tries to think but Flutter attack Applejack.
"So you chose your options? If you take refuge, your family risks paying with their lives."
"Okay, Okay, I'm going to negotiate with his beasts!" She answered her shadow.
Shadow Applejack smiles and speaks with another voice.
Night Fang: I'm glad you chose to facilitate it.
"What!? Night?" The black silhouette changes its appearance and becomes Night Fang.
She appeals to the dark powers for those who suck up magic inside the yellow pegasus and her friends burst through through unconscious black bubbles.
"What, you could have done it from the beginning?" With angry voice.
"Yeah, "
"Why?"
"Why, teach you a lesson." Night answer.
"..." It is short of citrus.
Because of this evening, Dusk, Dashie, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy have no memory of last night. Eclipse was inside the house to eat a pie offered by Granny Smith.
And at the negotiating table, both sides disagreed on one point.
“¥¶∆£©®℅°¥^°!” The fruit bat yell.
"Night, what did they say?"
"He just insulted your mother."
“WHAT!!!??” Applejack insults them with vulgar words.
“*$%#@^¥¢√π÷׶∆¢€¥¥√^”
"There, what did they say?"
“...”
Another ten hours later...
