Revenge is a common subject. It is a bittersweet concept that is often perceived as a pit that can entrap even the most righteous of individuals. It can change a person in dramatic ways that not a single person could predict with certainty.

To Ambrosia "Jack" McAnderson, it is a way of life. Ever since a night on her family's apple orchard, she has known nothing else. Revenge is not some foreign idea that only plagued the badmen of the wastelands, it was an obsession, a righteous calling. Jack was revenge and she would do the Lord's will and smite the unholy people who prey upon the good people of the west.

Johnny Cash EVERYWHERE!

7810381 Yes. He's like so everywhere, he's all over the floor right now.

7810386 Actually, fun fact, the song was around long before Johnny Cash recorded it. It's one of those traditional folk songs, Hell, even Elvis himself covered it!

Will the rest of the Mane Six appear in this story?

7810598 Not all of them. This story is gonna have very few characters in it as it mainly focuses on Apple Bloom and Applejack going through the west.


7810472 Nice fact. I still think Cash sang it the best though.

I really like this. You know, I had an idea for a story like this. It would be about Braeburn, Little Strongheart, and (maybe) Applejack helping a mysterious cowboy bounty hunter simply known as "The Stranger" catch an infamous outlaw known as El Dorado.

7812122 I've actually always wanted to write an Applejack western for a long time. I just never got around to it until now.

Is that Rainbow in the cell?

What inspired you to write this?

7812454 The song, Red Dead Redemption, and True Grit

Good choices for a western story. I don't know if you're going to put elements of this game.

7812465 If I do, it'll be unintentional.

I like where this is going.

7813225 Good. It would be bad if ya didn't

What happened to Big Mac? He is not listed among the dead and I am sure he wouldn't allow his sisters on this vengeance quest.

7813280 You'll find out. Don't worry, I didn't forget him.

"Because of Mr. Franklin's dangerous thoughts," Miss Garner continued, "I feel it necessary, oh so necessary, to remind you that you can't leave Broadbrook." She walked up to her podium and left Franklin standing where he was. "You all know of the mission we have before us. We are here in Broadbrook to do more than just simple mining, we are here to start a community of equality and righteousness. Our mission is to make Broadbrook the starting point of a new era of love and peace in the badlands," she paused, using the silence to emphasize her point. "However, we can only do this if we all are on the same, exact page. Ever since I got here, we've been training to become a haven for wanderers and a home to the lost. It's been mighty successful so far and we will not slow down now. Not at all."

Calling it. Garner's definitely season five Starlight Glimmer as a human.

"Any thought of inequality can lead to conflict within Broadbrook. We all know this. That is why I, your humble preacher, must stand up here tonight and reinstate order and discipline. Mr. Franklin has done wrong in Broadbrook today. We as a community cannot simple ignore his wrongdoing. So I, with your help, will escort Mr. Franklin into the mines. For his transgression, he must be sent away to be in the mines all night," Miss Garner acted as if the action was almost unbearable for her.

Preaching hope and happiness and yet she punishes those who break her rules? Hypocrite.

"You can go tell that long tongued liar..."

"Oh please, Miss Garner!" Franklin begged. "Not the mines! There's beasts down there at night! They'll kill me!"

Time for Applejack and her little sis to step in.

"What's done in the dark will be brought to the light..."

7815284 This kind of connection to the song will be throughout the story. If you know the song by heart, then you know what type of foes AJ and AB are gonna face.

I got a feeling that Miss Garner is going to end up six feet under shortly.

7815445 six feet under but a hell of a lot deeper.


...pun intended.... :ajsmug:

I hope (apple?) Jack got her guns ready cause she might need to use them on this whole town.

Cool story, hopefully you will get back to it.
