//------------------------------// // Zap Apple Zip // Story: The Pony Game Show // by DarkDarsi //------------------------------// The Pony Game Show Episode 2 Zap Apple Zip At the docks The camera turns on to night time with the Mane Six and Spike in the background. Then Dragonscribemaster walks in front of the cameraman and begins to talk. "You must be wondering "Why is there no elimination in the last show?" Am I right? Well I decided to START the show with eliminations to make it more awesome." Dragonscribe said. "Well anyway when I call your name I need you to walk up and stay put. Got it?" Dragonscribe said as he received nods. "Okay…Pinkie Pie." Pinkie walked up to the side. "Applejack." She walked up and stood beside Pinkie Pie. "Fluttershy." She walked up slowly and stood beside her friends. "Twilight." She walked up and stood beside her friends. "Rainbow Dash." She walked over and stood beside her friends. "And…." Dragonscribe said pausing for affect causing suspense between Rarity and Spike. "Wait…I'll go instead." Spike said. "Well okay you were going to get eliminated anyway." Dragonscribe said. "What…" Spike began to say as he suddenly was grabbed by the interns and put on a boat and taken away from the island. "Well that's over, so you guys will get the Northern Campsite. Got it?" Dragonscribe said and with that everyone left. "Interns go out and locate the thing we talked about." Dragonscribe said and the interns walked for the thing Dragonscribe wanted. The next morning It is now 7:00 am and all the contestants are eating hay bacon and buttered toast with the others talking to each other. At the Angry Antagonist table "Okay guys we need to stay in this and beat these losers like last time." Gilda said and received cheers from the team. At the Background Brigades table "Okay we need to bring up our A game to win more rounds." Doctor said receiving grins and nods. At the OC Outcast table "He her monkey past time (we were lucky last time)." Denys said as he looked at his team mates. "He's right we should stay in second or even better first." Blackwing said as everybody shook their heads. At the Mane Six and Spike table "I can't believe we eliminated Spike from the game." Twilight said as she was being comforted by Applejack. "Its okay we had no choice." Rarity said as twilight began to relax. "Let's win this for Spike." Rainbow said as they all cheered. They all continued to eat their breakfast when the CMC came into the mess hall wearing blue shirts with pockets and covered in dirt. They walked up to the mane six with their breakfast and they sat next to their sisters except Scootaloo who sat next to Rainbow dash. After noticing the CMC were dirty Rarity asked "Why are you so dirty?" as she inched away from Sweetie belle. "We can't tell you." Sweetie belle said. "We promised Mr. Dragon we wouldn't tell." Scootaloo said. "Why?" Rainbow said as they looked at the three fillies with confused eyes. "Well if ya'll insist we…" Applebloom began to say when Dragonscribe ran in. "Applebloom remember we don't tell the contestants about the challenges, so you're not getting paid for a week." Dragon said. "But we don't get paid we do this voluntarily." Sweetie belle said. "Oh that's right…, but anyway contestants meet me outside when you're done." Dragonscribe said as he walked outside. A few minutes later everypony was outside and standing there was Dragonscribe with four pots on each side and each of the pots had the teams name on them. Each of the teams stood in front of their own pots as they wondered what type of challenge they will compete in. Finally Dragonscribe drags his crate in between the contestants and the pots and stood on the crate. He cleared his throat causing everybody to look and he began to explain "Today's challenge is called Zap Apple Season. In this challenge I sent the interns to plant four Zap apple trees in the forest of this island and your job is to locate your team's tree and gather the Zap apple seeds. Then when you harvested the seeds bring them back with your own teams and plant them in your team's pots and harvest the Zap apples. The first team to plant their seeds and harvest their tree wins. Are we understood?" "Ye haw we got this one in the bag ya'll." Applejack exclaimed to her friends causing them to cheer. "Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the trees are guarded by timber wolves." Dragonscribe said and as if on cue a howl of a timberwolf was heard which frightened Fluttershy and Creative Rainbow, but their friends comforted them back to normal. "Okay let me repeat myself is there any questions?" Dragonscribe said. "Yeah where's Featherweight?" Snips said as he and the interns looked around. Then all of a sudden Dragonscribes walkie talkie began to make noise. Dragonscribe picked up and after a few minutes he put the walkie talkie down and looked at the contestants. "Well it seems that Featherweight can't go from his hiding spot due to it being surrounded by Timberwolves, but that means he is still at one of the trees meaning that the first pony to find Featherweight gets invincibility. Got it?" Dragonscribe said. Everybody nodded and ran off towards the forest. CHALLENGE BEGINS NOW! The Mane Six and Spike POV "Well I have a theory that our tree is near our own campsite." Twilight said as she and her friends rushed around the forest near their campsite. "Are you sure Twi?" Applejack said as she and her friends followed Twilight through the woods. "I am sure girls just keep running and…AAAAAHA." Twilight said as she found an apple tree with their team banner near it. "Yeah let's go…whoa." Rainbow Dash began to say but is suddenly pulled into the bushes with the others. "Why did you do that?" Rainbow Dash said getting angrier by the second. "Well remember that Dragonscribe said that there were timber wolves guarding the zap apple trees, but I have a plan. " Twilight explained. "What's the plan then?" Rainbow Dash said. "Okay Fluttershy since your good with animals calm them down with your talent, and we will retrieve the apple and look for Featherweight. Got it?" Twilight said as she retrieved nods and they began their assignments. Fluttershy walked up to the timber wolves and began to talk to them and surprisingly they didn't attack her at sight and listened. Rainbow Dash then picked a zap apple and the others looked for Featherweight. "Umm…guys?" Fluttershy said. "Yes Fluttershy?" Twilight said as she came over to her friend. "Featherweights not here." Fluttershy said. "He's not?" Twilight said. "The timber wolves only saw two ponies and one of them called the other one Snails." Fluttershy said. "Okay then… come on everypony let's go." Twilight said as she and he friends ran and flew to their destinations and they soon made it to the plants. The OC Outcasts The OC Outcasts ran around the woods on the campsite and was running around trying to find the Zap Apple tree. After a few minutes they stumbled upon the zap apple tree with their banner under it. "Yeah we did it!" Jex said as he jumped in the air which caused Creative Rainbow to jump out of her hiding place in fright. When she looked up a timber wolf stared at her and was about to attack her when out of nowhere Jamie tackled the timber wolf to the ground. As the second wolf noticed Jamie's attack, Denys punched the timber wolf into the bushes and dived after it. As Creative Rainbow was about to get jumped by a timber wolf, Blackwing shot a magical blast that hit the timber wolf in the face. All of a sudden, a group of timber wolves jumped out and surprised everyone, but Jex just stood there and grinned. He then pulled something out from behind of his back. Draginscribes Cabin Dragonscribe notices Jex on the monitor and observes the thing in his hoof. He then gets a confused look and said "Is that a bomb?" Back to the OC Outcasts Jex throws the bomb at the timber wolves causing them to look at the thing closely. Then a BANG was heard and some smoke came from it. The wolves then ran away into the woods and disappeared. As the timber wolves left, Flashing Lights and Bishop showed up from the trees like nothing happened. "Did anything happen while we were gone?" Flashing Lights said as he looked around the area. "No it was actually pretty safe." Jex sarcastically said to his friend as Bishop flew over and got the zap apple. "Come on lets go." Bishop said as he motioned them to follow. They then followed and soon enough they were at the main campsite. The Angry Antagonists Gilda and her group quietly located their tree and stood their ready to retrieve the Apple. Trixie looked at Gilda and then motioned her head towards the tree causing Gilda to nod and take off. She quietly flew over the tree and snagged the apple as if she was picking a normal apple tree. She then started to fly over the area looking for something for a few minutes. After that she flew back over to her team and apparently Trixie wasn't happy. "What were you doing?" Trixie said with her annoyed face. "I was looking for that Featherweight twerp, and he wasn't there. Now come on." Gilda said and soon they were running towards the forest and made it to the main campsite. The Background Brigade The Doctor was walking as he led the way with his sonic screwdriver to try to find out where their tree is. "Doctor, why did you make us grab our instruments?" Octavia said as her and Lyra was beginning to get tired carrying their instruments. "Because I have a plan." The doctor said as he removed the bush in front of him which showed a bunch of timberwolves guarding the zap apple tree. Soon the timberwolves began to notice them and growled at them at sight. "Octavia, you and Lyra play a melody that will make the timberwolves fall asleep." The doctor said. They nodded, took out their instruments, and began playing a melody which caused the timberwolves to yawn. "Derpy, go ahead and take a zap apple from the tree." The Doctor said and with that Derpy flew up and grabbed the apple. All of a sudden, Octavia accidentally hits Lyra's harp out of her hands causing her to notice and stop playing. Lyra then thought she did it on purpose and pushed her into the bush in anger. Before they could do anything else, the timberwolves notice Derpy with the zap apple and start chasing her and the others towards camp. At that, Octavia peeked her head out of the bushes and noticed something in a log nearby. Back at the main campsite Applejack squashed her apple, grabbed the seeds, and put them in the plant pots. As soon as she did, Rainbow Dash flew off and returned with a cloud a few seconds later and kicked causing it to rain on the pot and it grew. As soon as that happened the OC Outcasts ran over to their pot and planted their seeds after Denys smashed the zap apple. Then Creative Rainbow magicked up a cloud that soon burst causing it to water the team's pot and making the tree grow. As Creative Rainbow hit the cloud, the Angry Antagonists ran up to their pot and smashed their zap apple. As Gilda flew down with their cloud, the Background Brigade ran in with a bunch of timberwolves on their tail. Gilda noticed them coming and instantly hit the cloud causing it to rain on their pot and their tree to grow. THE CHALLENGE ENDS NOW! As the timberwolves chased the contestants the interns and Dragonscribe began to take down the timberwolves with tranquilizer darts causing them to get knocked out by the darts. "Everypony don't panic the situation has been controlled." Dragonscribe said as the chaos ended. As the interns began to put the timberwolves in cages that is heading for the zoo, Dragonscribe gathered the results and tallied them within a few minutes. He cleared his throat and said "I have tallied the results and ready to say who won and who lost." This caused the contestants to listen. "In first place is…THE MANE SIX AND SPIKE!" Dragonscribe said before the mane six to cheer. "In second place is…THE OC OUTCASTS!" Dragonscribe said and with that they cheered. "In third place is…THE ANGRY ANTAGONISTS!" Dragonscribe said which caused the team to take a deep breath. "That means that the Background Brigade is in last place and must decide who to vote off by nightfall." Dragonscribe said and with that the cameras turn off and the credits appear on the TV screen.
