To Sweet Apple Acres

Head over to Sweet Apple Acres singing a song as you do.

Go to Sweet Apple Acres and see if Applejack needs some help. And when you get to Sweet Apple Acres you should ask if you can borrow one of their axes or a pitchfork, it would be advantageous to upgrade your arsenal.

Walk to Sweat Apple Acres while playing some RPG traveling music in your head.

You decide that it probably would be best if you just headed to Sweet Apple Acres right away. You think Applejack would appreciate it since you took a few days off for... well, you guess you can say business reasons.

As you walk from Lyra's house, you feel as if a song would somehow fit the mood right now. So, with that in mind, you take in a deep breath-

'WAIT, STOP!!!!' you mentally yell at yourself before you sing even a single word. Thankfully you remember that every song that gets sung here in Ponyville somehow gets turned into a full on musical before anypony gets anywhere. While that would be nice right now, you really don't feel like a musical at the moment. You kind of want to get to work, yet a song still feels necessary right now for some reason.

With that in mind, you settle for a nice compromise. Whistling.

Surely if you whistle a song it won't blow into a full on musical right? Right...

So as you walk away from Lyra and Bon Bon's house you start whistling a catchy tune to yourself. Sure its not an RPG travel tune, but BY ZEUS IT IS CATCHY!!!

"Do do doo,

do do doo,

do do doo doo dooo,

doo doo dooooo dooooo."

You stop about ten steps into town as you realize that someone else is singing with you. Someone... bubblegummy.

'Ghost Pinkie Pie!' you mentally growl to yourself, but when you turn to look, you don't see the ghost of Pinkie Pie, but rather the ACTUAL Pinkie Pie bouncing next to you (in place somehow since you stopped) singing the tune to herself.

"Do do doo,

do do doo,

do do doo doo dooo,

doo doo dooooo dooooo."

"Uhh, Pinkie," you say to her. She just keeps sining. "What are you doing?" At that, Pinkie Pie stops singing and looks at you.

"Oop, sorry," she says as she giggles to herself. "It's just that that song you were whistling was so catchy I couldn't help but sing it. Can I keep it?" As she says that last part, she leans in close (REAL close), tilts her head to the side and bats her eyelashes a little.

You don't answer, partly because you're trying to figure how exactly how someone can "keep" a song that they heard someone else singing, and partly because you want to know why Pinkie Pie is not staring at you at eye level (Remember, these ponies are about chest height compared to you). The answer to the latter question you find is because she is now standing on a box that she got from... Who the hell knows where. You certainly don't.

"Uh..." is all you say to her. Upon hearing that, she just giggles again.

"Silly, I mean can I keep singing it. It's so catchy."

"Oh," you say in realization, though you're pretty sure that you're never gonna find out where she got that box from. "Yeah, yeah sure you can keep singing it Pinkie."

"Thank you," Pinkie Pie says with her usual 'Pinkie smile' beaming as she hops off the box and hops away from you while still singing.

"Do do doo,

do do doo,

do do doo doo dooo,

doo doo dooooo dooooo."

Great, now you just taught Pinkie Pie Saria's song. You're not entirely sure what the consequences of this will be, though you wouldn't be surprised if you found out that this had turned into a full on mane street musical again. Still, you have somewhere to be right now.

1) as you pass though town a Australian, buff stallion shouts randomly about selling, weapons, head ware, and keys to his companies Crates which are randomly hidden everywhere, just to make sure he doesn't add you to the list of endangered animals that he keeps yelling on about (amazingly not attracting fluttershy, to get her knives), you buy a key just to get him off your back (and maybe large duffel bag bulging of American dollar bills for only 4.99 bits, why he had that you don't know).

"Ah you there!" a random stallion shouts at you in an Australian sounding voice before you can go any farther. "Just to make sure you don't get added to the list of endangered species here in Equestria, I'm gonna give you this. For only five bits." He then reaches into his saddlebags and pulls out a key, which he then drops into your hands. You look at the key for a moment, then back at him. He laughs a little bit before he continues. "Just kidding mate. It's yours free of charge. If you see any of that companies' crates lying around. That key will open them." After he says that, he just continues on. "Good luck mate." he says as he passes you.

You honestly have no idea what that was about, but you have a key now.

Item Acquired: Key

You take a moment and look at the strange key for a moment. It looks like a regular key, made of what you are guessing is gold, since it looks gold. However, it has a logo of some kind carved into it. It looks like a raven raising its wings into a sun.

You put the key in your pocket for now. You figure it might come in handy later.

-One short walk to Sweet Apple Acres later-

Once you arrive at Sweet Apple Acres, you walk up the pathway to the farmhouse to see Applejack and her little sister Applebloom walking out of it. They seem to be talking about something. As you get closer, you start to hear what they are saying.

"Ah, come on Applejack," Applebloom said to her older sister like a little kid who wanted something. "Me and tha other crusaders were gonna try for Cutie Mark Crusader Lumberjacks today." You're not sure, but that sounds like the most ridiculous thing you've heard all day, and you just had an encounter with Pinkie Pie.

"Ahm sorry sugarcube," Applejack said to her little sister. "But I can't in mah right mind let ya'll do that unless either me or Big Macintosh are aroun', and we got work to do today so-" It's at that point that you reach the house, and by extension reach them. At the exact moment that she sees you, you watch Applebloom's face beam at you like the sun exploded in her face. The next thing you know, she's standing right next to you.

"Jason can come with us!" she says as she holds her hoof out at you.

"What?" Applejack says.

"What?" you say. You're honestly confused as hell right now.

"You'll come with me and the other crusaders so we go lumberjackin, won't yah, Jason!?" Applebloom asks excitedly. "Please." As she says that, she starts giving you the puppy dog eyes. You just look back up at Applejack, she seems just as confused as you are. You then look back down at Applebloom, who is still giving you the puppy dog eyes.

At this point, you have a choice. You can either:

A.) Go with Applebloom and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders and watch over them while they try lumberjacking (keep in mind you have absolutely zero idea how to be a lumberjack).

OR

B.) Stay here and do the work you were supposed to do with Applejack.

What do you do?

-Meanwhile, in orbit above the planet on the Dalek Flagship-

*Meanwhile, at the bridge of the Dalek ship.*
Video chat: Online Connection: Yellow

*A real-time video of Me, an earth pony wearing glasses with a brown coat and grey mane, appears in the command center screen.*
Me: Finally! The beacon has finally been downloaded into the ship's systems and we could finally communicate without any delays that takes days! Plus, with voice chat, I don't have to worry about typing! Typing with only pens tied to hooves is hard as it is. I'm getting a great deal of data and the scientist down here are ready for anything! So, Nana, how are you, and what is our situation? I thought our connection would be green.
Nana (the AI's nickname of her actual name): I'm fine- no, incredible! This ship runs cleaner than what is back at home. Compared to home, this ship is like a Canterlotian castle! The technology here is advanced, too! I wonder what pony lives would be like wi-
Me: Now, now. Nana, you know we can't introduce it to Equestria. These are creations of destruction, and we can't let it go to the wrong hooves, wether Equestrians are good or not.
Nana: *sigh* I know, I know... But still...
Me: About our connection.
Nana: Everything is running fine to me, but we are already running a diagnosis check throughout the whole ship, so the results should be displayed onto your electronic box any moment now.
Some crew member: I think you mean "computer".
Nana: Electronic box, computer; whatever.
Me: While we are at it, may I ask why your console runs on cookie dough?
Nana: ...Err *Scan Complete!* The scans done! *Activates Holograpic Status display* See? Our problem is just- *Shows red dots all over holographic display of the ship, and warning signs rapidly on the command screen* -everywhere...

Me: Oh dear...
Crew Member: We are going to need R.A's team for this...
>> Registered Anonymous
*Incoming call from one of R.A's hackers*
Nana: And speak of the devil. Permission to accept call?
Crew member: Granted
*Hacker's avatar appears*
Hacker: Command, we need to borrow a few Medic Daleks down at Sector 7, Aisle 2. Apparently R.A decided to ride down a set of pipes with a cart full of Daleks like a jackass.
Crew member: Is he wearing a red shirt?
Hacker: Yes, and came out unscathed.
Crew member: AW COME ON! *Everyone looks at him* I-I mean, that's good. Anyway, we need his team, stat.
Nana: How did I not notice he changed the pipes? *sigh* And here I thought I would be completely away from the crazies... At least the crew members are sane. It also narrows down one complication...
Me: Ha! Maybe this campaign is more than just paper work after all!
Nana: Your not helping!
(Dang, I think I out done myself and made this comment WAY too long. Oh, and by the way: Borealis Antenna's Current Vessel Possessed, Dalek ship. +5000 Firepower, +1000 awareness, +5000 Defense.)

(Also this isn't an RPG, you know those numbers mean nothing in this story, right?)

*On the bridge of the Dakel Flagship*

Nana: Video communication online, connection: Yellow.

Grey Rebl: Finally! The beacon has finally been downloaded into the ship's systems and we could finally communicate without any delays that takes days! Plus, with this I don't have to worry about typing! Typing with only pens tied to hooves is hard as it is.

Leader of the Appalosan Intelligence Agency: Grey Rebl

an earth pony wearing glasses with a brown coat and grey mane
Status: Unknown

Swimming Dalek: This is Swimming Dalek, commander of the reformed Dalek fleet. We read you loud and clear. How are you doing Mr. Rebl?

GR: Great. I'm getting a great deal of data and the scientist down here are ready for anything! So, Nana, how are you, and what is our situation? I thought our connection would be green.

Nana (Nickname for the Applaloosan AI): I'm fine- no, incredible! This ship runs cleaner than anything we have back home. Compared to home, this ship is like a Canterlotian castle! The technology here is so advanced too! I wonder what pony lives would be like wi-

GR: Now, now. Nana, you know we can't introduce it to Equestria right now. These are creations of destruction-

SD: Former.

GR: My apologies, commander. Regardless, we can't let any of it go to the wrong hooves, wether Equestrians are good or not.

Nana: *sigh* I know, I know... But still...

GR: So, about our connection.

SD: We're running a diagnostic check through the whole ship at the moment, so we're running a little slow at the moment, but we should be up and running within the next few minutes or so.

Nana: Everything is running fine to me, but the results should be displayed onto your electronic box any moment now.

SD: I think you mean computer?

Nana: Electronic box, computer; semantics.

-Elsewhere on the ship-

Ok here is what you do: You start singing Zippity-Do-Da Zippity-Day all the way over to Sweet Apple Acres alright? And once you get there find Applejack and get to work. Also again watch for any creepy ass clown ponies.
~~~~~~~~
*meanwhile in the Dalek spaceship*
R.A.: ...... *R.A. finishes reading the latest chapter of Wake Up. See This. What Do? Part 2 on his Droid after running around like a crazy guy* ....Everyone on this ship thinks I'm crazy now in the story... *head turns slowly with audible creaking to the point where he appears to be staring in some random direction to the normal observer, but is actually looking at the fourth wall, but more specifically the guy sitting behind it*
*R.A. gives the fourth wall and the guy behind said fourth wall a glare (as much of a glare as a guy with a mask on could muster) that says "You're next after this current incident I'm in blows over."*
R.A.: *sighs and tosses my droid over my shoulder. There is an audible cat screech that comes from behind soon after the phone was thrown.* Oh well there goes my fun for the rest of the day or until the plot on this ship gets rolling again... wait a minute... I just came up with the most ingenious idea ever!
*10 minutes later*
Hacker: Uh R.A. why are you in a shopping cart full of Daleks and a random Redshirt and why am I currently tapping you with my smartphone instead of strengthening the Dalek forces?
R.A.: Because my little hacking friend... "WELCOME TO JACKASS!" *manages to push the shopping cart over the edge of a conveniently placed downward slope of pipes*
Hacker: This can't possibly end well at all.
*I'll let your imaginations guess what happens afterwards although I will say that the Redshirt isn't going to make it.*

Registered Anonymous: So... everyone thinks I'm crazy in this story now do they... *head turns to look at the fourth wall* You all think I'm crazy do you. Well let me tell you something... I AM NOT-

Pinkie Pie: HEY THAT IS MY JOB!!!

RA: Sorry.

PP: ONLY I MAY BREAK THE FOURTH WALL!!!!!

RA: Sorry. Anyway, what was I doing? *looks at a nearby computer terminal

Terminal: Diagnostic check 85% done.

RA: Diagnostic check huh. THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA. *Pulls out Android phone, which he still has since he couldn't break the fourth wall*

-Back on the bridge-

Eh not bad in my opinion.
~~~~~~~~
*Message from R.A. pops up on the computer that is addressed to Nana*
I heard you need some of my hackers to help you with some computer troubles. I'll have them there in 10 minutes. I'll be there in 3 to start helping. P.S. I am NOT crazy. P.S.S. Don't worry I'm still fine after the crash P.S.S.S. Got any spare cookie dough? I need to bake some cookies.
With love, R.A.
*Message from one of R.A.'s hackers pops up soon afterwards*
DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT LET R.A. ANYWHERE NEAR THE COMPUTERS AT THE BRIDGE. LOCK THE DOORS IF YOU MUST JUST DON'T LET HIM INSIDE! And if he does get inside try shooting the breeze with him that'll keep him busy till we get there.

Nana: we got two replies, one from R.A and one from one of his hackers.
Crew member: Er... Put them both on display.
*Reads, and all the crew members panic*
Some crew member: Quick! lock all openings to this room, Including air vents and pipes!
Grunt crew member: On it! Someone give me duct tape!
Me: What's going on?
Crew member: Shits about to happen! That's going on! AI system, activate the breeze and station lockdown!
Some crew member: How did he know?!
Nana: Adding additional door locks... and activating breeze...
*Hiss~ CLANK*
Some crew member: Nana- AIthingyorwhatever- I have an idea, and I'm going to need some of the cookie dough from your console if this is going to work!
Nana: Wow, rude much? *extracts cookie dough*
Me: As funny the situation is, I actually don't wanna know what will happen if he gets near your console...
Nana: *surprised by the directors change of demeanor*
Me: But seriously, why is does console run on cookie dough?
Nana: *EM wave facehoof*
Some crew member: Okay, everybody listen. If all fails then I try to convince him to go to the kitchen and make cookies with this "special" cookie dough. Anyone got any better ideas though? *everyone shooks their heads* Oooh boy, I hope this works.
Grunt crew member: I don't want my data destroyed! *sobs*
Rookie crew member: Can anyone tell me what happens if he somehow gets in?
Crew member: YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!!

Nana: Sir. I have just received a message from Registered Anonymous.

SD: On screen.

Nana: I heard you need some of my hackers to help you with some computer troubles. I'll have them there in 10 minutes. I'll be there in 3 to start helping. P.S. I am NOT crazy. P.S.S. Don't worry I'm still fine after the crash P.S.S.S. Got any spare cookie dough? I need to bake some cookies.
With love, R.A.

*Everyone is silent for a few moments.

One of RA's Hackers: Oh snap.

Hacker 2: Seal the room! Lock all openings to this room, including air vents and pipes! DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT LET R.A. ANYWHERE NEAR THE COMPUTERS AT THE BRIDGE. LOCK THE DOORS IF YOU MUST JUST DON'T LET HIM INSIDE! And if he does get inside try shooting the breeze with him that'll keep him busy till we get there.

SD: What in the name of the Shadow Proclamation is going on?

Hacker 2: Registered Anonymous is on his way here. Trust me when I say YOU DO NOT WANT HIM ANYWHERE NEAR THESE COMPUTERS!!!

SD: Why? What happens if he gets in?

Hacker 2: You DO NOT want to know.

GR: As funny the situation is, I actually don't wanna know what will happen if he gets near Nana's console...

Nana:.... Sir...

*R.A. pops open a ventilation system grate in the ceiling and pops his head through it into the bridge room*
R.A.: Sup guys?
*R.A. then drops from the ceiling into the room*
R.A.: Can one of you random individuals point out as to where a certain Nana is? I have some things I have to say to her and only her.

RA: HEY GUYS!!!

*They all look up to see Registered Anonymous poking his head out of one of the ventilation shafts.

Hacker 2: Well f*ck me sideways.

RA: *Drops down* Can one of you point out where a certain Nana is? I have some things I want to say to her and only her.

Nana: Eh hehehe...

R.A.: Unpredictable? Yes I am, and now that formalities are out of the way... *pulls out a sledgehammer from nowhere* Where's your computer problem?
*desperate knocks and banging are heard from the bridge main door*
Random Hacker: Let us in quick before he does something stupid!

RA: Ah, you must be Nana. So, you're this A.I. from Applaloosa that I have just heard about and who apparently thinks I'm crazy. *gets his face real close to the console and whispers* Here's a little secret for ya... I'm NOT crazy. Now... *Pulls out a sledgehammer* What is your computer problem?

Hacker 2: Oh snap.

Hacker 1: GET HIM!!!

Crew Members: Okay/Y-yes, sir/Phew.../Thank The Lord! *Preceeds to do what they are told. Daleks who got the SOS message came to help, just in case*
Random Hacker: *turns to Nana and I* Sorry for the trouble. He's an asset to the campaign, I know that, but I sometimes have trouble believing myself. You two can relax, we can take it from here. It's going to take a while though...
Me: Well, he was... exciting to say the least.
Nana: Seven darts? How was that even possible?
Random Hacker: The scientist Daleks said those exact same five words, and after a dozen... loose experiments, the only answer they got were the cookies. And even that brought more questions than answers. The only positive we got from it was that the cookie dough will be used to create the new super-advanced armor for our enhanced super-soldier Dalek, with the condition that R.A names the new Dalek for the cookie dough.
Me: Explains a little bit of why Nana's console run on cookie dough. What did He name the new Dalek?
Random Hacker: Master Chief.
Nana: If AIs' are even capable of having feelings, why do I feel like that's some sort of reference in the 4th dimensional world?
Random Hacker: That's because it is...
Status Report: Rookie became traumatized. Appleoosa Intelligence notified of R.A's behaviour. R.A contained until further notice.

*Swimming Dalek pulls out both his pistols and shoots Registered Anonymous in the back and the neck seven times with tranquilizer darts.*

SD: Well, that was... exciting. To say the least.

Hacker 2: What did you-

SD: Tranquilizers. *pops open gun and pulls one out to show him* One of these can take down a really large horse, and I just shot him with seven of these babies.

Hacker 1: You know, that might not keep him out for as long as you think.

SD: I see. *turns to two worker Daleks* You two.

*They both approach*

Dalek 1: Yes, commander?

SD: Take him to the brig and keep him contained until further notice.

Dalek 2: We obey.

*They both take him away.

SD: What the hell is with that guy?

Hacker 2: If we knew we'd tell you.

SD: Right. So anyway, I'm gonna go check out the newborn Daleks on the hatchery ship. Care to come with?

Hacker 1: No thanks. After that, I think its best if we stay here to keep a closer eye on Nana. Something tells me that we're more equipped to work with him than any of your Daleks... or RA... No offense.

SD: None taken. I'll leave you to it.

*Swimming Dalek leaves*

-Elsewhere, on the USS Enterprise-

Well then, Captain, let's get this show on the road.
Acquired: Perception Filter
Send us to Ponyville!
*teleporter beam sends the perception-filtered team to the ruined Castle in the Everfree*
DAMNIT! I SAID PONYVILLE!!
"Es-I mean, Mr. Freebrony, there is no need for this. Remember there was some interference with the teleporters. It's surprising we actually landed on the planet." Kirk said, "You should have put more thought into this."
Eh... hehehehehe....
"Captain, I believe I know which direction to go." Spock said, holding a Tricorder. His blue Earth pony from somehow managing to keep a hold of it. "I found a center of immense, yet harmless, radiation. This way." Spock led them off over a bridge and into the forest.
-A few minutes later-
"Captain, from what I've heard from our former ensign here, it is amazing that our fleet has yet to be detected by this" Spock stops, giving a sidelong glance to Gordon, before continuing, "Princess Luna. She seems to be able to control the orbit of the moon to some degree, and can create artificial meteor showers. If that is possible, which logically, it should not be, than she must hold power over enough technology to easily sense our ships."
"Don't worry about it, Spock!" Kirk replied, somewhat joyous at the beauty found in the planet around him, "I'm sure it will turn out for the best."
"That is highly illogical"
(IDC what you decide to do with that mini conversation, or even if you decide to include it. But it does raise some interesting questions, does it not?)

*Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Gordon Freebrony all walk to the teleportation room*

Kirk: Remember, you are still a prisoner and you will be treated as such. If you disobey my orders in any way I'll stun you and drag you back to the ship myself. Do you understand.

Gordon Freebrony: Yes sir.

Kirk: Good. Now, remember. Don't bring any tech other than what we need. This planet is-

GF: Can I bring my crowbar at least?

Kirk: What?

GF: Well, they should at least have crowbars, so it wouldn't be too conspicuous if I bring it.

Spock: What he says is indeed true captain. Given the level of technology the planet has, it is likely that they will have crowbars, so brining one will not draw attention.

Kirk: All right. You may bring it.

GF: Thank you, sir. *goes to get it, followed by two armed guards.*

McCoy: I don't like this idea sir. Do you really wanna-

Kirk: He knows something about the planet Bones, and if he knows something, then he's gonna let us know too.

*Later, in the teleportation room, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Gordon Freebrony (with only his crowbar) walk in*

Sulu *from the coms*: Captain, we have vacated the Dalek ship and are moving into position.

Kirk: Thank you Mr. Sulu.

*They all get into position at the transports-

Kirk: All right, Scotty. Beam us down to Ponyville once we get into position.

Scotty: Aye sir.

*A few moments later, Scotty beams them all down*

-At the Temple of the Two Sisters in the Everfree Forest-

*The away team appears.

McCoy: Well this doesn't look like Ponyville.

Kirk: *gets on the coms* Scotty what happened?

Scotty *on coms* We're gettin a lot of interference from the planet sir. That was the closest I can get ya."

Kirk: Work on finding the source of the interference. If you can't find it then contact the Dalek ship, they might be able to spot it better than we can.

Scotty: Aye sir. *Coms go off*

Kirk: All right. Mr. Spock, where are we?

Spock: It appears we are in a ruined castle (however many) meters southeast of the town in question sir. *Holds out a tricoder as he says this*

GF: Well, I guess we'd better start walking.

Kirk: *looks at him for a moment.* I suppose so.

*They all start walking, Spock stops Kirk.*

Spock: Captain, are you sure you want to go through with this plan. Given the intel we have-

Kirk: Don't worry about it Spock. I'm sure it'll turn out for the best.

Spock: That is highly illogical sir.

*They all start walking towards Ponyville*



Also to address this comment:

Also, (And I don't know if Swimming Dalek or Registered Anonymous are game with this, nor even if Razor will agree to this, but) if any of you out there want my character or the enterprise to do something specific, just reply to one of my comments and I MAY, if I like it and it makes sense in the story, write a comment causing them to do just that. Keyword: MAY.

All of you commenting, feel free to direct these characters (or join them) if you wish. However, I would still appreciate it if you all direct Jason in your comments first before any of these characters, since they are only a side story as of this point. That goes for you too SwimmingDalek, Registered Anonymous, Gordon Freebrony, Grey Rebl, and anyone else thinking of joining their cause as well.

Basically what I am saying is, you are allowed to direct these guys in the comments if you want to, but you still have to give your suggestions to Jason first before you can give suggestions to them.

Jason is still the main character in this story, so he is the top priority and he always will be. I will write the story about him first before these guys. Always.

Also one last reminder. While you all can have conversations with each other. Multiple comments directing Jason or any other character is not allowed. If you need to charge or add something, please just use the edit button. It's there for a reason. Thanks.
