MLP-Harmonics: Legacy pt.5
On the train bound for Appleloosa Rarity, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo sit around the train car by themselves looking outside a window.
“Wow look at that desert, its vast isn’t it Rarity?” Sweetie Bell says looking outside.
“Don’t even ask me about the desert, I was stuck in it for a week with a hyper Pinkie Pie.” Rarity says annoyed by the question.
“Are we almost there?” Scootaloo asks curiously.
“I think were about there.” Rarity says answering her.
As the group looks sits about a grey pegasus with light blond hair crashes into the train car with them, with Scootaloo looking at her.
“Oh you’re that pegasus from Manehattan.” Scootaloo says recognizing her.
“Oh, hello are you headed to the Crystal Empire too?” She asks Scootaloo.
“This isn’t a train for the Crystal Empire and I told you their not running trains to there right now.” Scootaloo says to her again.
“I know you told me that, but somepony told me that they were running again.” She says explaining herself.
“Who’s this?” Sweetie Bell says looking at the pegasus.
“She’s someone I met on the train to Manehattan; she said she’s on her way to the Crystal Empire.” Scootaloo says answering her.
“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself, my name is Ditzy.” She says introducing herself to the others.
“You remind me of somepony I know from Ponyville.” Rarity says looking at Ditzy.
“A lot of people have told me that.” Ditzy says before her eyes go cross eyed for a quick second.
“Yeah, you definitely remind me of someone.” Rarity says looking at her.
“Anyway what are you going to do now?” Scootaloo asks her curiously.
“Well I figured I’ll still try to get to the Crystal Empire.” Ditzy says seriously.
“Well you could come with us.” Sweetie Bell says happily.
“Huh really?” Ditzy asks curiously.
“Of course were headed there anyway so we might as well.” Sweetie Bell says yet again.
“Sweetie Bell can I have a moment?” Rarity asks taking Sweetie Bell aside, while Scootaloo distracts Ditzy.
“Remember were on an important mission on to save Equestria from a changeling invasion.” Rarity says trying to drive the point home. “We can’t afford to get bring someone uninvolved along especially if we can’t tell if their changelings.” Rarity says attempting to sway Sweetie Bell.
“But she seems to really need our help so we can’t just leave her there.” Sweetie Bell says responding to Rarity.
“Well I guess you’re right, but I guess we can at least help her get there.” Rarity says giving in to Sweetie Bell.
A while later the group arrives at the station in Appleloosa.
“Okay then, Applejack’s staying with her relatives here so we just need to find the farm or we should check the apple grove.” Rarity says thinking of a way to find Applejack.
“Or we could ask Apple Bloom.” Sweetie Bell says pointing to a yellow Mare with red hair and a pink bow.
“Apple Bloom!” Scootaloo screams out to Apple Bloom, who looks surprised at the duo.
“Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell why are you two here?” Apple Bloom looks confused by the pair’s presence.
“Well we can save that for a little later when where not in a crowd.” Scootaloo whispers to Apple Bloom.
“Who cares why were her, with this the Cutie Mark Crusaders are together again.” Sweetie Bell says happily.
“Should be call’n ourselves that? I mean we all have our Cutie Marks now.” Apple Bloom says as she looks at her friends Cutie Marks.
“Well that doesn’t matter were together again.” Sweetie Bell says happily as the group hugs.
“Well I’m all happy for you but we have to find Applejack, where might she be?” Rarity says trying to get the group on track.
“Well this time of day she’s probably in the apple grove harvesting the trees with the others.” Apple Bloom says answering her.
“Okay then girls come along.” Rarity says walking towards the grove with the others following her.
“By the way who’s your friend there?” Apple Bloom asks looking at Ditzy.
“Oh, let me explain.” Scootaloo says before she starts explaining about Ditzy.
A while later the group arrives at the apple grove to see a yellow Stallion with orange hair of various shades with of orange hair alongside a thin buffalo working in the fields gathering apples.
“Okay Strongheart, how many do you have now?” The one Stallion asks the buffalo.
“I say that makes twice as many as you Braeburn.” The buffalo says answering him.
“Well you know I’m only letting you win because you’re so adorable.” Braeburn says flirtingly to Strongheart.
“You’re only saying that to distract me so you can catch up.” Strongheart says flirtingly back.
“Hello there you two.” Apple Bloom says interrupting the pair. “Sorry to interrupt you guys flirting we but we need to find Applejack.” Apple Bloom says during the awkward moment.
“Um if you’re looking for Applejack she should be in the barn by now.” Strongheart says answering her.
“Okay then, you guys can get back to flirting.” Apple Bloom says walking away, leaving the pair to look awkwardly at each other.
The group soon arrives at a barn when they arrive they see an orange blond haired Mare alongside a red orange haired stallion.
“I told you Big Mac, we needed to move the hay but you put it in the wrong corner.” Applejack says angry.
“Yup.” Bug Mac says sadly.
“It’s okay we just have to move it into the other corner.” Applejack says in a better mood.
“Applejack!” Apple Bloom says approaching her siblings.
“Apple Bloom what is it, I thought you went into town for goods.” Applejack says looking at Apple Bloom.
“Well, I was but while I was there I found something else.” Apple Bloom says pointing at the group.
“Well shucks what are you all doing here? And where’s Rainbow Dash?” Applejack says looking at the group.
“Yes while we’re happy to see you there are some important things we need to tell you.” Rarity says seriously to Applejack. “But before that, Sweetie Bell, why don’t you show Ditzy around the grove or something.” Rarity says signaling Sweetie Bell.
“Oh, of course.” Sweetie Bell says as she and Ditzy leave the barn.
With Ditzy gone Rarity explains the situation to Applejack.
“So then, Rainbow Dash was captured by changelings and Equestria’s in danger again.” Applejack says summing up the scenario.
“Yes that’s where we’re at.” Rarity says in response.
“Okay then, we need to rescue Rainbow.” Applejack says loudly.
“Wait what?” Rarity says shocked by her statement.
“Well if we wait around something horrible could be happening to her, on top of that we need to save her anyway on top of that the badlands are a lot closer to here than the Crystal Empire.” Applejack says explaining to Rarity.
“On top of that we can have Big Mac and my cousin come with us for back up.” Applejack says still trying to convince Rarity.
“Okay but what’ll we do about Fluttershy, Twilight and Pinkie Pie?” Rarity asks.
“We can take care of that.” Scootaloo proclaims. “I mean, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna already sent me off on this mission so I should at least see it through.” Scootaloo says explaining herself.
“Okay then we’ll leave the others to you while we rescue Rainbow Dash.” Rarity says to Scootaloo.
“Hey guys did me miss anything.” Ditzy says crashing into the roof.
“I told you not to rush off like that.” Sweetie Ball says chasing after her.
A while later the group reconvenes outside Appleloosa .
“So we’re going to find Fluttershy before going to the Crystal Empire to met Twilight.” Apple Bloom says summing up their situation.
“Yup.” Sweetie Bell says answering her.
“Okay then girls we better hurry up.” Scootaloo says trying to rush off.
“I don’t know what’s exactly going on, but as long as were headed to the Crystal Empire.” Ditzy says before flying ahead and crashing into a tree. “I’m okay.” She proclaims as the group looks on.
“I hope she gets there in one piece.” Apple Bloom says watching this.
Meanwhile a mysterious figure watches the group hiding in the nearby bushes.
“Twilight.” The figure says listening in on the groups conversation.
Meanwhile on the opposite end Rarity’s group arrives in the badlands.
“Are you sure the changeling’s are in the badlands?” Rarity asks scared at the site.
“Of course there’s no other place they could be on top of that, we have been seeing a few odd clouds as of late heading in this direction, so maybe their changelings.” Applejack says explaining things to Rarity.
“Well, if Rainbow Dash is this way then let’s go save her.” Rarity says running ahead of the group.
“You heard her.” Applejack says as the others follow behind her into the badlands.
