Applejack vs. Error 230

A montage begins with Applejack, fixing her truck, the dinner table, and the television. She is shown to drive her way to CHS until she sees her friend Fluttershy and her car up ahead. She stopped and saw her car's tire was flat. Few minutes later, her tire was back in good shape with Fluttershy thanking her and driving off. Applejack followed suit with her truck.

When she arrived and parked her truck in the parking lot. She was met with Flash whose locker was jammed to open. Luckily, Applejack uses her hammer and bangs his locker, thus his locker is no longer jammed. He thanked her and she happily walked through the hallways.

"Nothing's broken when ya' need'n tools to fix it." She said,

She then passed by the library and stopped when she heard one of her friends talking.

"I think it's broken, Rainbow Dash." Sunset said.

"Here, try this." Rainbow Dash said.

"Hey, something needs to be fixed here?" She asked.

"Applejack, come help us." Sunset said.

"Yeah, she can fix anything."

She then walked towards them.

"So, what's the problem ya'll have here?'

"Well, we were working on a report on history, but we forgot to do it yesterday. So, we have 6 hours left before history class and we decided to use the library computer." Sunset said.

"Yeah, we tried printing it, but it gave us an error 229."

"Uh huh…"

"We double checked and the driver is already installed…" Unfortunately, from AJ's point of view, she was zoned out as she doesn't know how to fix an issue that involves computers and such.

"So can you fix it?"

Feeling unsure, she insisted. "Sure…" She then taps a key with her hammer, causing the screen to be filled with pop-ups.

She gasped and grabbed her sledgehammer. "We got to smash this darn thing!"

"No! Stop!"

But Sunset and Rainbow Dash stopped her from doing it.

"Applejack, it's just a computer!" Rainbow said.

"Put it down, AJ!"

"Fellas, ah' know this school and ma' home. There's something evil in that computer, we have to smash it!’

"No, stop!" Sunset protested.

She stopped as the two panted.

"You don't know how to fix this, do you?" She asked.

"What?"

"Wait? You don't even know how to fix a computer?" Rainbow asked.

"AJ, it's okay." Sunset said. "You don't have to know how to fix everything. Don't worry, we'll take care of it."

"Ah' can fix everything, ya know?"

"Yes. We know, Applejack. We know."

When she left the library, she could hear her friends talking again.

"Sunset, I thought Applejack could fix everything." Rainbow said.

"Well, yeah, but not on computers. C'mon on, let's just figure this out ourselves."

She sat at one of the seats inside the band room. She sighed and took a drink of a bottle of water. Then her friend, Rarity came to her and sat down beside her.

"Darling, is anything alright?" Rarity asked.

"It's just that ah' don't know how to fix an error 229, Sugarcube. Yep, sure ah' can fix everything but not on computers. Sunset and Rainbow Dash can't continue their report on history if that issue can't be resolved." Applejack answered.

"Hmm…Now that makes sense. Maybe, try to study about an error 229. I have that book inside my locker. I'll lend it to you then you can help them out with that issue so they can continue their report." Rarity said.

"Ah' suppose that could help. Thanks, Sugarcube. Ah' know I can still fix it." Applejack said.

"Why, it's my pleasure darling. I'll be right back."

After 3 minutes, she came back with a book and gave it to her.

"Oh, I borrowed that book 3 days ago. You can take it back to the library when you're done." Rarity said.

"Thanks again, Rarity."

Once she left, Applejack flipped all pages until she turned to the page about error 229. This is exactly what she needed.

Montage began with Applejack studying more about the error 229. And after like 10 to 15 minutes, she's finished. And walked back to the library and returned the book as well.

"Fellas, ah' know how to fix an error 229." She said, But then, none of them were there but the computer was still on.

Applejack studied the screen cautiously, and slowly tapped a key on the keyboard. However, this caused the computer screen to pop out more pop-ups, which made it unstable. The printer also explodes and shoots out more paper out of it. Sunset and Rainbow Dash returned and only saw the commotion happening.

"Applejack, what are you doing?!"

"Ah' just tryin'n to fix an error 229!" She answered.

"But it's not error 229 anymore!" Rainbow groaned.

"Yeah," Sunset elaborated. "While you were gone, we messed it up, and now its error 230!"

"And it's even worse now!"

"Look, AJ. It's fine. We asked someone to fix it."

"But fellas, "Applejack begged. "Ah had to fix this! Ah' just want to fix so ya'll continue your report! Please, give me a chance!"

"Look, I know you want to help. But I don't want you to be so worked up. Please, let us handle this."

"Ya'll say what you want. But ah ain't stopping until I fix it! I just need more time to help ya'll out on this!"

"You're just saying this because you're not admitting that you can't fix computers." Rainbow said.

"Ah' know ah' can't fix a darn computer, but ah still want to help out!"

"Applejack, please-"

"Say all ya' want Sunset. But ah'm telling ya. Ah' ain't stopping. When will this fella show up?"

"She'll be here for an hour." Sunset answered.

"Okay, ah' can do this. Just stall her until ah' get back."

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

"Okay, okay! Geez!"

When she left, she heard them talking again.

"Sunset, what's AJ's problem?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't know." She said, "She needs to realize that there are some things she just can't fix."

Luckily, she asked permission from Celestia saying she needs to leave the school grounds to learn how to fix an error 230. After finishing her story, even the principal doesn't know how to fix that kind of error, she happily allows her to leave, but she needs to return within 30 minutes.

She arrived at the mall and went to the electronic store and saw two employees there.

"Ah' need to fix an issue on a computer." Applejack said.

"Guh, we don't know." The employee said.

"I don't know how to fix an error 230." She answered.

When they gave her the computer, Applejack was confused at first. "Why in tarnation this thing look different?"

"That's a 1995 model computer," The employee answered." Now open the internet. You see those icons? Now open the internet."

But due to the poor quality of the computer because it's old, Applejack can't tell which icon is the internet. Instead, she clicked random icons causing it to crash.

"What did you do?! You can't just open a lot of icons at once! It will only make it worse! Ugh! Maybe our magical intern will do better than us! I bet she's your friend from school!"

The two employees left her alone and she was met with a familiar face.

"Hey Applejack, aren't you supposed to be at school?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, hey Twilight, ah' forgot ya worked here. Well, what are you doing here?"

"Hmm… yesterday I told Principal Celestia that I had duty today, so she allowed me to have a day off from school while I'm doing my job here. So, as I was asking what you are doing here?"

"Ah need to know how to fix an error 230." She answered.

"Oh, that's easy. Just hold the power button, and wait for 5 seconds, and after 5 seconds press print. Got it?"

"Ah' still don't get it."

"Oh. It's okay. I will help." But then her phone buzzed as if she received a message. "I just got a text, saying they had a problem on a computer. Hey, why don't you come along? I'll help you out."

"Umm…Sure…Ah guess…"

"Great. Let's go."

When they returned to Canterlot High, Applejack sighed and face palm.

"Ya'r emergency call came from our school?"

"Well didn't Principal Celestia tell you to be back here within 30 minutes? Besides, when I'm done, my shift is over." Twilight said.

When they went into the library, they saw Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash pressing the keys while the printer shot out more paper rapidly and luckily, no one, not even the whole staff members, saw the commotion.

"Rainbow Dash, you're making it worse!" Sunset shouts.

"Well, you keep on pressing things!" Rainbow argues back.

"What did you guys do?!"

"Twilight! Come quick!" As soon as she stepped in, Applejack followed suit and she was not pleased. Her arms crossed and tapped her foot. "Oh. Hey, Applejack. How's it going?"

"Really ya'll? Thanks for stalling."

"Sunset, tell me what's going on."

"It still won't print our file!" Rainbow exclaimed. "The monitor just started flashing."

Sunset gave Twilight a piece of paper. "And about twenty minutes ago, these started coming out of the printer!"

The paper says; You will never find error 230/ Printing a file? Is that all you can do?

"A threatening haiku? This is really worse than I could ever imagine!" She said, Then she brings out her homemade holographic purple keyboard. "Don't worry. I'm going to sort this out."

"Wow! Twilight, you made that?" Rainbow asked.

"Yep, and this one has a hologram. Elevate keyboard!"

Then a hologram version of her keyboard appeared above the real one.

"Awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"I never thought you could make holographic inventions!" Sunset said.

"My time at Crystal Prep really helped a lot." Twilight said. "Error 230, let's dance.

Twilight used her scientific keyboard in order to remove all pop-ups and defeat error 230 but it was still there. Twilight tries it again, but it backfires.

"Elevate Keyboard!"

Then a third holographic keyboard appears. Twilight taps both of the holograms but Error 230 is still there, and it backfires.

"Can someone tell me what in tarnations going on?! Or we're still trying to print something?!"

"This is the worst error 230 I've ever seen! I'm going in!" She brings out her high-tech helmet.

"Can't we just smash the darn thing?"

"AJ, just let Twilight do her thing."

"Here I go!" Once she wears her high-tech helmet, she is now inside the computer. And saw Error 230 not very far. "I'm in! Error 230, prepare to be eradicated!"

But then, Error 230 rises up. "Error 230?"

"The error rubbed him off revealing the words from 'Error 230' to 'Deadmageddon' "No young child. It is I. Deadmageddon. And now thanks to you, we will digitize the whole world."

"Did you say 'we'?"

"Prepare to be assimilated!" Then it started to attack Twilight and took control of her.

Back in the real world, Twilight is glitching like crazy.

"Twilight, are you okay?!" Sunset asked in a panic.

"Applejack! Remember I told you not to destroy a computer?! Well…I was wrong after all!"

Twilight collapses but now rises up, being possessed by Deadmaggedon.

"Thank you for releasing the Deadmaggedon virus. Goodbye."

Then she shoots wires out and digitizes everything it touches. That includes the bookshelf.

"Ah' knew that darn thing is too evil! We have to destroy it!"

"What just happened to Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Ah' don't know. But I think that darn virus must have possessed her! That virus ain't error 230, but it's Deadmaggedon!"

"Well, that makes sense." Sunset said. The trio ducked underneath the table as more stuff also got digitized.

"We're going to fight this thing!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Wait! We can't fight it! If we fight back, we'll hurt Twilight as well!"

"Then we have to go to the computer!" AJ said.

Applejack runs for the computer, but the wires stopped her from doing so.

"Don't worry Applejack, I got this!" She activates her super speed and runs for the computer but Deadmaggedon stopped her on time.

"Rainbow Dash, look out!" Sunset shouted. "Twilight, stop!"

"There is no Twilight Sparkle anymore, Only Deadmaggedon." She then summons a giant cursor and sends them to the trio. "Now die!"

The trio luckily dodged her attack and regrouped back to Sunset who is still hiding behind the table.

"She's just too fast!"

This gives the farm girl a brainstorm. "Too fast?"

"What do we do?"

She glanced at Twilight's keyboard still plugged into the computer. And saw all the programs on the computer screen. This gives her an idea.

"On the count of three, ya'll make a break for the keyboard and keep opening programs as much as you can!

"Okay, got it?"

"But what are you gonna do?"

"Me?" She picked up her sledgehammer and activated her geode's powers. "I'm going to fix it. Okay, one…two…three!"

Sunset and Rainbow Dash run to the keyboard and press random keypads while Applejack is busy fighting, Deadmaggedon makes her own sledgehammer and blocks Applejack's attack with her weapon.

"A sledgehammer, is that all you can do? An analogue digital world," She pushes Applejack. "Ironic, really, that a teenage girl like you will be the first thing to be digitized. Goodbye."

Just as she was about to be digitized, Deadmaggedon freezes. Showing the two girls had completely added more programs.

"What did you do?!"

"Don't ya' get it? It's common sense. If ya' open a lot of programs, you'll slow down. Applejack said. Then she threw her sledgehammer at the computer, destroying it completely. And defeat Deadmaggedon.

After that, Twilight returns to normal. Sunset quickly ran to her and checked on her. "Twilight, twilight, are you okay?!"

"Sunset…Shimmer…?" She opened her eyes and saw her friend. "What happened…?"

"Well duh, that virus possessed you and tried to kill us." Rainbow Dash answered.

"Are ya' alright Sugarcube?" AJ asked. Help Twilight get up on her feet.

"Applejack, I gotta say, my time at Crystal Prep granted me higher intelligence of science and technology. But none of them have defeated Deadmaggedon! For that, I thank you." Twilight said.

Then a piece of paper came out of the printer. Twilight walks over to it, and grabs and gives it to Applejack.

"What's this?"

"It is an appreciation for not just saving me but all of us." Twilight answered.

The paper says; Thanks for your handy hard work, Applejack. Sincerely Twilight Sparkle.

"Wow. Thanks Twilight."

Then they heard another paper coming out of the printer. "No!"

But Sunset stopped her. "Applejack, it's okay! This is our history report we've been trying to print all along!"

Rainbow Dash took the paper with all of her and Sunset's hard work in it.

"Oh, sorry guys…"

"Oh man. If Principal Celestia sees this, we'll be in a whole lot of trouble!"

"What if we just bury everything in the yard, she'll never know!" Rainbow Dash suggested.

"And ah' could use a lot of help to fix the whole place. Class starts in 10 minutes."

"Sure. We can help out." Twilight said.

"Alright, let's get going! Sunset, get the tools at my truck outside! Rainbow Dash, get some construction hats! Twilight, get some drinks for us!"

When they part ways until they got back, Applejack started placed some tables and chairs back to its proper position.
