//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Working on the Farm, Training the new body // Story: Asta's new life in Equestria // by Martinthegamer //------------------------------// Yesterday, Asta has done some errands for Applejack. Picking Big Mac's suit, Cloud Schedule, Medicine, and Some orders from SugarCube Corner. He has been finished those lists. When he comes back, he asks Applejack for his clothes. He is a bit surprised about his clothes, it's the same one that he wears when he was 15. But it doesn't matter to him so he puts them on. Yeah, it's really hard for him to wear those in pony form. But he'll get used to it Right now, it's morning. He woke up earlier like he usually does back in Black Bulls because he has done a lot of chores. He let out a yawn as he stands up and gets ready for the first day in Sweet Apple Acres. As the door just opens and reveals Applejack and Big Mac "Alright, Asta. Ya ready for the first day in Sweet Apple Acres?" Applejack asked him if he's ready "Yes! I'm ready!" Asta said in determination "Well, follow me to the farm" "So, which one should I do first, Applejack?" Asta asked "We'll start ya off with some apple buckin', first. Ah want to see your strength of your legs when ya do apple buckin'" Applejack replied He followed the siblings into the hundred acres of apple trees, Applejack and Big Mac carrying several wooden buckets on their backs. They placed them under some of the trees, where several of their branches had ripe apples ready for the picking. "What we do to get all the apples off is to buck the trunks with the right amount of strength, and in the right spot" Big Mac stepping up to a nearby tree and turned his back to it. He reared back his hind legs and gave the tree are a hard kick, causing the branches to shake as several apples fell down in the buckets. Asta is impressed by Big Mac's strength "Well, that doesn't look too hard! Let me try!" Asta walked up to one of the other trees nearby, ready to try apple bucking for the first time "Well, don't feel too disappointed if ya can't get it on the first-" A hard smack was heard as Asta bucked his tree, sending all the apples on its branches down in the buckets in one go. Applejack and her brother stared at the stallion in shock. "...try?" "This is kinda fun!" Asta ran up to the other trees with buckets underneath them, kicking them hard and gathering all the apples in one go every time. The Apple siblings looked at each other, then the buckets full of apples, then at Asta "The buckets are full of apples now! What should I do with them?" "...Uhh...W-We bring the buckets to the barn to store them and keep them preserved, or in the cart to sell them at a stand in town." Asta nodded and understood what to do with the buckets "Ok. Buck the apples in the buckets, and carry them to the barn! Got it!" Asta carried one bucket with his foreleg and brought them to the barn. He goes out and brings more buckets inside "And done! What's next?!" "Can ya do the laundry?" Applejack asked him. "Yes, I can do a laundry" "Ok, just do the laundry and when ya finish the laundry, ya go to me and ask so Ah will tell you" Applejack told him "Yes, ma'am!" Asta followed her so he can know where he can do the laundry. He started washing them as Applejack and her brother went back to do their chores. Asta keeps washing until they aren't dirty anymore. When he finishes washing, he brings clothes out and pins the clothes on the rope. To make sure they are drying As he finished doing laundry, now he's going to Applejack to ask her if there are more chores. So she nodded and told him that he should help Big Mac plant some seeds and water some of them. Next up is feeding the animals, Applejack needs him to help her feeding animals so he decided to help her. He helped so many chores for her and he finished all of them "Soup on, everypony!" an elderly voice called out from the house. The Apple Family and Asta heard it so they go inside the house as Granny Smith is putting some food on the table. Everypony take some food and start eating "So sonny. How's your first day in Sweet Apple Acres?" Granny Smith asked Asta if he was ok on the first day in Sweet Apple Acres "It's great, Granny Smith! They aren't really hard to me!" Asta answered "Well, He did a lot of chores. He's great, Granny. Ah think he's fit to Sweet Apple Acres" Applejack added. "Yep" that's all Big Mac could say "Good to hear that" Granny said with a smile "It was nothing. I used to do chores a lot back in my world. Haha" Asta answered embarrassment a little while scratching the back of his head "So is there anything else I can do?" "Ah think that's enough for ya. Ya finished all your chores. Why don't ya visit somewhere else in Ponyvile?" Applejack told him "Maybe later. Because I need to train my new body so I can understand how to do much in this" Asta replied."Ok. Ah understand" The Apple Family continues eating before they go back to do their chores. After they finished their lunch, Applejack and Big Mac went back to the farm. As for Asta, he goes out of Sweet Apple Acres, he continues walking until he found the forest. It's the forest from yesterday, he found it when he was getting the medicine from the Cottage. What's her name? It's Fluttershy He went to the forest as he looked around to find the spot to train and he found the perfect place to train "Well. This is not a bad spot. Yosh! Let train this new body so I can use swords better!" Asta said in determination "First. I need to stand in two hooves so the other hooves will carry the sword" Asta starts standing in two hooves but he falls his face down on the ground. Asta didn't give up as he standing up and doing it again until he can standing in two hooves. He keeps doing it. The man won't stop "Ok! Last chance! I'll stand in two hooves! I'm not giving up! Giving up is not my thing!" Asta let go of his hooves from the rock and start standing. Asta almost fall, and he actually did it "I did it. I DID IT!" Asta jumped in success "Ok, next is control the sword with hooves" Asta said As the grimoire from his pouch starts glowing, coming out, and appears right in front of him. The book opens and the handle of the sword coming out. Asta starts pulling out with his hooves. As he pulled it out, he gripped it hard so it won't come out from his hooves "YAAAA! HAAH!" Asta shouted and hitting the tree with his Demon Slayer sword. "HAAH! HA!" Asta keeps hitting the tree and rock until his sword won't come out from his hooves Asta stopped and caught his breath a little. The next sword is Demon Dweller. He pulled it out and started slashing the rock with full speed He stops and prepares for the attack "Black Slash!". He swings it as the black energy comes out from his sword ad cuts through rock and the tree The next one is flying with his Demon Slayer. He puts it down as the sword starts floating. Asta hop on his blade and starts flying away "WOOO! HAHAHA!" Asta laughed happily that he is able to control his swords in the new body. He flew back to his training spot and did some push-ups, sit-ups, etc. He keeps training on his new body so he'll get used to it "9,997 ... 9,998 ... 9,999 ... and ... 10,000!" Asta stopped doing push-ups and rest a little bit. He standing up and sitting on the rock to catch his breath "Phew. I think that's enough today" Asta said while wiping his sweat with his rope. "I wonder what is Liebe doing now? Is he awake?" The voice just groaned inside his mind. "I guess he's awake now" "Uggh. What the? How long have I passed out?" Liebe put his hand on his head 'You've been passed out two days since we just arrived here' Asta told him. "What?! Two days?! And What the is hell happen to you?!" "I'm a pony, Liebe" Asta said. "Pony?!" 'Yep. Because we got stuck in the new world. So, welcome to Equestria' Asta said. "Equestria?" Liebe asked "Ok. This is going to long explain..." Asta began explaining everything about Equestria that Applejack told him even explaining what happens to them before they crashing into the new world Liebe doesn't what to say about this as Asta decided to broke the silence "Shocked, right?" "I have nothing to say. So, you decided to stay in this world?" Liebe asked "Yes. I found out this world is really peaceful. Not only that, our world doesn't have anything threat anymore" Asta said as he looks at the sky "Yeah. I guess you're right" Liebe agreed with him "So. Can you come out? I want to see your new form" Asta said as Liebe was surprised and embarrassed "What!? Hell no! I won't come out with this new ridiculous form!" (Note: They are in their normal form inside Asta's mind but outside, they are in pony form) "Come on, it's not bad at all" Asta told him. "Nope! I won't come out!" "Please, Just a little. I won't laugh at you" Asta begged him. "Fine! If you laugh, I will kill you!" As the black smoke coming out from Asta's body. Oh yeah, His right forearm is turning black. The smoke slowly reveals the figure. Liebe has a messy, white mane and short stature. Most of his body is coated in black; a black line extends up his chest to under his chin, while two lines cross over his red eyes. He has two bat-like wings, two ram-like horns, one straight horn from his mane, a long thin tail, pointed teeth. He also wears Black Bulls rope. His cutie mark is Black Bulls logo with bat-like wings behind (I made Liebe into Alicorn) "Huh. You don't look bad at all. But I remember that you have two horns. And now you have three" Asta looked up and down at him "How should I know?! I don't remember that I have a third horn!" Liebe said angrily while touching the third horn from his forehead "I think your body is a unicorn! Unicorn possessed magic so that means you can use magic from that horn!" Asta said "Bro, I don't even have any magic! Remember?!" Liebe told him "I know. But you should try the magic out from your third horn. Let's see if it's working!" Asta replied back "Fine" Liebe closed his eyes and started focusing on his horn. But the horn didn't work. Liebe tried focusing more and the horn slowly glowing black and red like the grimoire’s arua. He stopped and caught his breath "Dude! You can do magic with your third horn!" Asta said with star eyes. "Thanks, but it takes a lot to do that. Not only that, I don't know any kind of magic yet" "Don't worry, maybe we can find some books to do the magic. But we will deal with that later. We should head back to Sweet Apple Acres before nighttime" Asta told him and he nodded as he starts getting inside Asta and Asta's forearm turns back to normal As Asta walked out forest and he was on his way to Sweet Apple Acres. Asta entered the house, he opened the door and revealed Applejack, who is standing in front of the door. Seems she is a little bit upset "Where have ya been?!" Applejack asked him "Sorry! I didn't mean coming back late! I was training my new body! I'm able to control it!" Asta answered Applejack sighed and said "Ah'm glad to hear that but don't come home late". "I'm really sorry!" "C'mon, Granny just finished serving us food" Applejack told him as he nodded and followed her to the kitchen. They both sit down and start eating the dinner After finishing dinner, Asta helped Granny Smith with the dishes. When he finished cleaning the dishes, he went to take a shower. His body is sweating because he did a lot of training. As he finished taking a shower and he went to the bed early because he should wakes up early to do the chores
