Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity: Trio in time

by FireDasher24


Fillies to the rescue

"Meanwhile high above Rainbow Falls, the Changeling Airship cruises..." The screen read while flying above Rainbow Falls. The ship was huge, and it was based of a changeling flying by.

Inside one of the rooms, the past Rainbow Dash is flying around, and the past Rarity and Applejack are playing around while Baby Princess Celestia is watching them in her pink filly carriage. Suddenly, three shroob ufos flew by, and then floated right behind the airship. The first one took out a laser gun and shot the airship, thus shaking it on impact. Rarity and Applejack jumped in surprise and Rainbow Dash was startled from that noise. Applejack and Rainbow Dash panicked while Rarity and filly Celestia began crying. Red alarms activated in the room they were in while the sirens made alarm sounds. A speaker appeared from the ceiling.

"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!" The speaker yelled out before disappearing. Then the young Monsieur Mane crawled into the room and spotted the crying princess.

"PRIIIIIIIINCESS!" Mane yelled out to Celestia. He crawled further to the young princess, and then stood up at his hooves again.

"Oh! Oh Princess! Never fear my dear. Mane is here." Mane said while beginning to grab the carriage. Celestia began to calm down and stop crying.

"Come! Let's get you to safety!" Mane said, while walking out of the room, with Celestia. The speaker appeared once again, but with a different voice this time.

"This is the great Princess Chrysalis! Kneel, minions! OK, now get up! All personnel to the bridge!" The voice, which belonged to Princess Chrysalis yelled out. The speaker then disappeared again. Applejack and Rainbow Dash began to calm down, but Rarity still cried in panic. Applejack made a few noises to get the young unicorn's attention, but she didn't stop crying. Filly Rainbow Dash decided to push her white filly friend with her instead and they all exit the room.

A little later, Filly Rarity has finally calmed down, and the three fillies made their way, to the bridge. They all walked through some boxes, and also jumped over some. After making it through all the boxes, even while the airship is getting shot at, they finally met up with the others. In the room was Filly Celestia, Princess Chrysalis, and a few Changeling minions, who was controlling the airship. Princess Chrysalis was ready to give her crew commands.

"Time to show these alien Jerks what the Chrysalis Airship can do! Fire the Changeling Cannon!" Princess Chrysalis commanded. The Changeling crew obeyed, and prepared a semi large cannon behind the airship.

"FIRE!" A Changeling yelled to the others. "FIRE!" Two others responded. The airship then flew a little higher up, much to the Shroob ufo's confusion. The cannon on the airship's end shot out a large spike ball that hits all the Shroob ufos separately. Chrysalis began to laugh in victory.

"Bwah ha ha ha HAAA! I am just so dang EVIL!" Chrysalis laughed. "I hope they felt honored to be shot down by me!"

"You're the best, Princess Chrysalis!" A Changeling crew member praised her.

"You're a Changeling's Changeling!" Another Changeling crew member also praised her.

"Bwah ha ha ha!" Chrysalis laughed, while being happy of her crew's praise. However, they felt that they were falling down a bit surprising the others.

"YOW!" Chrysalis yelps in surprise.

The Chrysalis Airship was now floating on top of the Rainbow Falls. A crew member looked a little nervous, as the Changeling Princess grew angry.

"Hey! You call that piloting?! Pay attention, sky-nerd!" Chrysalis angrily said, who just noticed the reason why the airship fell down a bit. Then another crew member spots something below them.

"Princess Chrysalis! There! 4 o'clock!" The crew member said, while pointing down below them, which were the same Shroobs from the Rainbow Falls, who were still cheering, and jumping in victory, over three familiar unconscious ponies.

"Those villagers are under Shroob attack!" The crew member informed Chrysalis.

"Your... Your Orders? Should we help them?" Another crew member suggested, but the Changeling princess ignored the suggestion.

"Aw, man... It's half past snack time already!" Chrysalis said, who obviously tried to ignore it. "We...We saw nothing! Everybody clear on that?" Chrysalis added, but then Filly Celestia began to cry, incredibly loud, shocking all the others inside.

"Great hoogly-boogly! The princess does NOT approve of this! Young Mistress Chrysalis! Abandoning those ponies is reprehensible!" Monsieur Mane said. To add more crying on, Filly Princess Celestia began to cry even louder, which even made the ship shake a bit. The crew, Princess Chrysalis, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity all covered their ears in response.

"MY EARS! She'll ruin us all!" Chrysalis screamed in agony. She eventually sighed in defeat, knowing it's the only way, to cease her crying. "Fine! I'll help them if it'll just SHUT HER UP! Changeling Cannon! FIRE!" Chrysalis commanded, who has finally decided to help the village so filly Celestia can stop crying.

"FIRE!" Her crew responded. The airship flew over to a small canyon, and then shot another spike ball, which landed on one of the Shroobs, and send the others flying. Chrysalis then walked over to Filly Celestia, who has finally stopped crying.

"There! Happy?" Chrysalis said, while looking at calmed down Celestia. She then turned over to Filly Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. You three take care of things from here. Go get 'em orange! You too blue and whitie!" Chrysalis commanded the three fillies. The airship then landed on the canyon below them. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Monsieur Mane exited.

"Young mistresses, if you would please go check on those unfortunate villagers. That, I believe will make the princess most pleased, and perhaps avoid future tantrums." Mane advised the three fillies. "I shall wait right here for your no-doubt triumphant return. Tallyho and all that!"

The three fillies did as they were told, and began to walk to the ruined village. They searched the village, for any pony survivors. They continued to look around the destroyed village, until they decided to look, at the same place, the spike ball has landed. When they arrived, they saw the fallen spike ball, and three unconscious ponies. They walked over to them, and poked at them to see if they're alive. A Shroob came out of the spike ball(who has somehow survived it). Along with another one appearing. The two Shroobs looked at Filly Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, and was ready to fight. The two Shroobs talked with their usual language, which surprises the three fillies, and turned over to the Shroobs, who charged at them.


[Boss Battle: 2 Shroobs]

The three fillies took turns jumping on a shroob each. Filly Applejack jumped on the shroob to the left. Filly Rainbow Dash jumps on the shroob to the right, and Filly Rarity jumps on the left one. The first Shroob started by showing it's claw, and shooted a blast at Filly Applejack, who dodged in respond. The other one spins around, and shoots a blast at Filly Rainbow Dash.

"Young Mistresses!" A voice yelled to them, which was revealed to be Monsieur Mane, who just arrived as support. "Let's give you two some Items, shall we? These items require you to attack as a trio! Please, you two, take these Green Shells." Mane said, while throwing some green turtle shells over to them. The three fillies nodded to Mane, and began to use one of the shells. Filly Applejack started by bucking her Green Shell at the first Shroob, who took damage on impact. The shell then spun over to Rainbow Dash and she kicks it to the same shroob giving it some damage. Then the shell heads over to Rarity, and she bucked it to the same Shroob in respond. They continued doing so, until the Shroob disappeared in an explosion. They then repeated the same strategy, and used their remaining shell to defeat the last Shroob. The three fillies cheered in victory.

[Boss Battle over]


After their victory cheer, they looked back to the three unconscious ponies.

"That was rather close, eh?" Mane said, while taking a closer look at the three ponies. The first one was an orange earth pony similar to Filly Applejack. The second one was a cyan pegasus that was similar to Filly Rainbow Dash. The third one was a white unicorn similar to Filly Rarity. Another funny thing is, they have the same Mane styles as the three older ponies.

"Now that I see these villagers close up, they bear a striking resemblance to the three of you!" Mane pointed out to the three fillies, who in respond looked closer at the three ponies. Mane was right, the three ponies looked exactly like them, except they were 18 years older.

"But who knows when more of those awful aliens will return? I believe it best to take these three to Mistress Chrysalis's ship." Monsieur Mane suggested, which the three fillies nodded in agreement. The three fillies had to drag the unconscious ponies to the airship, with Monsieur Mane helping. Once all of them were inside the airship, it began to fly up in the air again.


A few minutes later, the three ponies regained their consciousness.

"My my, it seems that our guests, are waking up!" Monsieur Mane said, while Filly Celestia, Filly Applejack, Filly Rainbow Dash, Filly Rarity and himself looked at the now fully awakened ponies.

"Wow, I felt like I got stomped on by a giant crab." The white unicorn said while feeling a little dizzy.

"And ah felt like a barn fell right on top of me." The orange earth pony said still feeling dizzy.

"What the hey just happened?" The cyan pegasus asks still a little dizzy.

"Why hello my ladies. Are you three alright?" Mane asked, while seeing at the three ponies fully recovered. They looked around, and got confused.

"Where on earth are we?" The orange earth pony asked.

"Why you have just been saved, my dear." Monsieur Mane said, while getting smiles, from the three fillies.

"Well, thanks for saving us sir. We don't know what could have happened to us, if you didn't show up." The white unicorn said elegantly. Monsieur Mane however shook his head.

"No no my lady. You got it all wrong. I didn't save you. Mistresses Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity did." Mane tells them who now got confused looks, from the three fillies.

"Wait what?!" They all yelled out in surprise. They then heard a few filly noises. They looked to the right, and saw Filly Applejack, Filly Rainbow Dash, and Filly Rarity waving at them. Monsieur Mane became quite confused, at the small outburst.

"Why, is that a way, to say thank you, for saving you?" Mane said, slightly annoyed. The three ponies then looked at Mane.

"Sorry sugarcube, but we got a little confused." The orange earth pony said, before beginning to introduce herself. "My name is Applejack." The orange earth pony said now known as Applejack, which gives Mane a confused look.

"I'm Rainbow Dash." The cyan pegasus said now known as Rainbow Dash. Now Mane was a little more confused.

"And my name darling, is Rarity." The white unicorn now known as Rarity said. Mane was now completely flabbergasted, and almost had his jaw dropped to the ground.

"Wait. You have the same name as the young Mistresses?! How... How is that possible?" Mane said flabbergasted. The three fillies looked slightly confused.

"Uh how can we put this in a proper way you can understand?" Applejack thought.

"All three of us are from the future." Rainbow Dash said.

"Ahhh, so that's why you look exactly like those three fillies. You are them, from the future!" Mane said, now fully understanding.

"And we want to ask you some questions." Rarity said, while all three of them looked at Mane.

"I want to ask some too my ladies, but ladies first." Mane said, ready to answer some questions.


Flashback

"Those monsters... Their arrival seems like a horrible dream... It was all so sudden... Foul parasites from the Shroob planet, land of utter creepiness! Their purpose is oh-so clear! They wish to take all we hold dear in Equestria! Our land... Our very lives!" Mane's voice said, while showing back in time. In Ponyvile, ponies were happily talking with each other. But then they saw numerous of mysterious dots, appearing from the ground, while it's actually above them. It was the Shroob ufo ships shadowy dots, and all the ufo's began taking out laser guns, and shooted laser blasts all over Ponyvile.

"Oh, the village is in ruins... And our beloved castle as well!" Mane's voice said, while showing back the part, where Canterlot was being attacked by the Shroobs, while Filly Applejack, Filly Rainbow Dash, Filly Rarity, Priness Chrysalis, and Monsieur Mane while holding Filly Celestia are panicking. The Canterlot castle hall has been gravely damaged, the halls crumbled, and the walls and towers were being either rammed at, or being shot by laser blasts. A pony arrived in a panic.

"F-Flee! Flee! We must escape! The castle is lost!" The pony said, before a ufo broke through the castle. It flew inside the castle, and abducted the pony. Chrysalis then took out a walkie talkie.

"Princess Chrysalis here! Come in Trixie! Get the Chrysalis Airship here, on the double!" Chrysalis commanded. The ufo then took out it's laser gun, and began charging it. But then they heard a yell, from outside the ship.

"MY PRINCESS!" The voice, which was presumedly Trixie yelled out. The Chrysalis Airship arrived, ramming through all the Shroob ufo's, and then shot out a spike ball, on top of the ufo inside the castle. Now that the ufo's are gone for now, they all stopped panicking.

"Princess Chrysalis! Let's hightail it out of here!" Trixie yelled out, to her princess. The flashback ends.

End of Flashback


Back in the present(filly Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity's present), Monsieur Mane has just finished his story to present Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. The three ponies from the future, has just explained their story.

"And THAT is how the princess and I were rescued by Mistress Chrysalis, odd as that sounds." Mane said. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity were confused since it's quite awkward, to be saved by one of their arch enemies.

"And now... Almost all of Equestria has fallen under Shroob control." Mane said, while earning shocked expressions from the three mares.

"Status report, Your Badness! We are currently on approach to Canterlot castle." The pilot said. The airship flew past the castle, giving a close look at it's current state.

"Our once beautiful castle... No... Look at it now." Mane said, while Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity looked out at the window, and what they saw gave them a shock of their life. The castle towers looked like mushrooms, it had cannons all over it, the pond water has been replaced by some mysterious green slime like water, and the top of the tower has been replaced by a giant statue, which looked like a humanoid princess like figure, but her head looked like a mushroom, except more humanoid, and had two pointed clawed fingers similar to the other Shroobs.

"Can... Canterlot castle?!" Applejack said in shock.

"It was supposed to be... Beautiful." Rarity also said in shock.

"No doubt those fiends call it Shroob Castle." Mane said, with the three ponies now knowing, Canterlot castle's new name. "Rumor has it their leader is there. Princess Shroob..." Mane said, which earned a frightened look on Rarity.

"I simply don't wanna imagine how it is to meet her." Rarity said while shivering. Applejack walked over to Mane to ask him something.

"Uh Mane, do you think Princess Celestia is being held prisoner somewhere in there?" Applejack asked him, but Mane gives her a confused look.

"Eh? What's that you say? Princess Celestia is being held prisoner in the castle?" Mane said, before chuckling a bit. "Ho ho! Surely you jest. The princess is quite safe and sound right here with me." Mane said. The trio face-hoofed.

"Not her, she meant the future Princess Celestia." Rainbow Dash corrected.

"Hmm? I beg your pardon? The future Princess Celestia? The future Mistresses Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity?" Rainbow Dash nodded yes, but Mane chuckled a bit in response.

"Ho! Ho ho! You poor ladies... You've gone a bit daffy, eh? Your noggins must have gotten bonked. Perhaps a nap?" Mane said, not really understanding the situation. Rainbow Dash nearly face hoofed since she, Applejack, and Rarity already explained it to him, but now he hardly listens. Suddenly, everybody on the airship heard the alarms go off.

"What's going on?" Rarity asked, while getting a little nervous. Chrysalis jumped up and down.

"Status report! NOW!" Princess Chrysalis said, while demanding an explanation.

"Your Foulness! We're receiving some sort of transmission from Canterlot... I mean, Shroob Castle!" The Changeling crew member said.

"A transmission? Put it on the monitor! Let's see what's up." Chrysalis said while making a magical screen appear on the wall. The sirens stopped, and they saw a Shroob looking princess, on the screen, giving a menacing look. Rarity almost fainted at the sight of her.

"Is that... Princess Shroob?" Applejack thought. The the Shroob princess said something, but couldn't understand it, since it's talking in Shroob language.

"Who's this hag?" Princes Chrysalis asked curiously. Mane begins to panic hysterically at the sight of the Shroob.

"Th-That must be Princess Shroob! Undoubtedly!" Mane said, with fear in his voice. Rarity gave a fearful expression while Rainbow Dash and Applejack showed angry expressions, but their filly selves merely cheered. Princess Shroob said something in her own language, and then raised her arms up in the air."What's that supposed to mean?" Rarity said feeling confused.

"Man...Does anyone have ANY idea what she's blabbing about?" Chrysalis said, not knowing more than Rarity. The sirens then alarmed once again, and a scared pilot sees something coming.

"Ack! P-Princess Chrysalis! Fr-From Shroob Castle...It's a Shroob missile, and it's headed straight for us!" Rarity and Mane were panicking after hearing this.

"Whoa! Evasive action! Changeling Cannon! FIRE!" Chrysalis ordered, but no one seemed to do anything.

"No...No ammo!" A pilot said which only made the others panic even more.

"What? You're fired." Chrysalis said in anger. The Shroob missile got closer to the airship, and it hits dead on to them.

"BOOOOOMMMMM!" The airship has been hit. Everyone began to panic inside.

"Direct hit!" A pilot screamed. Princess Shroob laughed menacingly, and the screen ended.

"Those alien DIRTBAGS! We gotta hold it together until we get back home!" Chrysalis yelled out. The greatly damaged airship begins to float closer to Chrysalis's kingdom. The airship began to crash down at Chrysalis's kingdom. All of them flew out in respond.

To be continued...
