Twinana's voice boomed from below. "Rise like the fallen tree that simply keeps growing!" All around her, the chanting of the Banana Republic's citizens grew louder and louder. Twinana pointed her horn to the sky, firing a beam of magic into the heavens above and connecting with the sun. A pulse of energy burst forth from her body, washing over the entirety of the nation. Banana-scented vines emerged from the cracked earth, rising ever-higher with every second. A smirk grew across Twinana's face as the vines clutched the edges of the gorge that the city had collapsed into. She raised both of her front hooves above her head, commanding the animate vegetation with a silent utter. Rise. "Uhhhhhh Braeburn?" Unnamed Apple Family member #4068103 lowered her binoculars. "What's that big shadow on the horizon?" The Banana Republic proceeded to land squarely on top of Apploosa.
