> Outlaw in Appleloosa > by Red flame > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > His name is Hunter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack trotted on through the town of Appleloosa with a big smile on her face. She enjoyed whenever she got to visit this place. Though Braeburn wanted to play their tickle game, she decided to wait a bit for that as there was plenty of time for that later. The workhorse passed on by the Sherrif's building, and stopped seeing a crowd of ponies off to the right side of it. "Wonder what that's about." Applejack muttered. She walked on over to the crowd, walking through them to get in front to see what it was their looking at. After a few minutes she was finally staring at a poster stapled to the wall. It was displaying a white unicorn with a brown vest around the torso. Below was his name, Hunter. It said that he was an outlaw, though not a dangerous one as the reward was'nt too high. "Ah don't get it, what's so special about this guy?" Applejack wondered curiously. "Well it's alot of rumors, but a couple of ponies around here have been captured by him. They've said he never hurt any of them, and he has a rather unique thing he does with his captives." A Blue pony explained. This stroked Applejack's curositiy very much, she wanted to get a bit more info before jumping to conclusions about this. Trying to still sound unenthused, she glances back at the pony who revealed this. "What is it he does?" Applejack asked. "Get this, they claim they were laughing the whole time." The earthpony chuckled. Aj simply nodded and backed out of the crowd, once far enough away she had an excited grin on her face. The thought of meeting this outlaw flowed through her mind at a rapid pace, however she knew better than to go in to this blind. Besides even Braeburn has to earn a victory over her in a tickle game. She walked up steps and through the doors of the Sheriff's office. It was a small area with brown wooded floors, walls, and ceiling. A grey metal desk across from it with a brown earth pony signing some papers. He looks up as Applejack walks up to his desk smiling as he was good friends with the Apples. He puts down his pen. "What do you need Aj?" The Sheriff smiled. "Ah want to go after the outlaw Hunter." Applejack grinned. The earth pony simply chuckled at this, he was well aware of Applejack and Braeburns games they like to play. So he wasn't too shocked at this, Hunter has never hurt any pony that he's captured that went after him, so the sheriff was sure Applejack would be ok. "Very well, his last hideout was spotted near an oasis very far from Appleoosa, if ya get caught ya'r on ya'r own for awhile." The Sheriff warned with a grin. "Ah'll be fine don't worry. If ah'm not back in two days, make sure to tell every pony what happened and they don't need to worry." Applejack smiled. With that she turned and walked out of the building, excitement and nervousness filled her body as she made her way back to Braeburn's to get ready for the trip. She had no plans to get caught easy, that would be much less fun and was sure Hunter would appreciate a challenge. A full day goes by, but following a map she made sure to get. Applejack was now approaching the oasis, as expected nothing was there only a few marks in the sand where tent poles used to be. She approached the water and decided to fill up. First leaning her head down to drink it, it tasted very nice. She pulled away from it after a few minutes. "Man this is good." Applejack smiled. She reaches into her saddle bag, pulling out a big bottle she had brought along with her. Scooping up the water until it was nice and full, she caps it and places it back in the bag. It was then she glanced around for anything that could point in their direction, and found some smoke coming out from behind a huge mountain. "Guess that would be a good place for a hideout." Applejack thought. The eager earth pony began to walk in that direction, nerves were getting stronger and feeling more tense, knowing she could be close now. After a few hours of walking, she finally started to hear some noise. Glancing to her left, she saw five pony's rushing toward her. At first she kept walking, but as they closer it quickly became obvious she was their target. With an excited smirk on her face, she bolted off in the other direction. The five ponies quickly sped up getting closer and allowing a good look at them. Sure enough at the front of the group was Hunter, he was handing out lassos to the four ponies. There was a green earth pony, a golden Pegasus, a silver pony, and a black and red pony. They were close enough to be heard by Applejack now. "I'm guessing your hear for me?!" Hunter shouted with a grin. "Sure am and ah don't plan on losing easy!" Applejack shouted back. The Pegasus get's up and tries diving towards her, she quickly rolls to the left getting out of their way. She get's on her hooves fast and runs heading towards the mountain. The Green and Silver pony throw their lassos, she jumps and goes right through them without getting caught. She keeps running, but the Black and Red Pony got in front of her. Noticing a strange blue gun aimed at her. Stopping in her tracks she grows a bit worried. "Relax, this won't hurt you. Though if you don't want to find out what it does I suggest getting your hooves up." The Pony smirked. "Pretty confident huh? Ah don't plan to give up." Applejack replied bravely. The trigger is pulled, and a strange looking dart flies at her too fast to avoid. It sticks onto her orange belly, and begins sending huge ticklish vibrations through it. This makes her fall down on her back exploding in really cute laughter as the group surrounds her. Watching her adorable squirming on the ground. "I trust your ready to come quietly?" Hunter grinned. "YEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHS YES AH SUUHUHUHUHHUHHUHURRENDER!" Applejack laughed. The Red and Black pony chuckled, flipping a switch the dart removes itself from her as the pegasus lands gently on her to pin her down. Making her grunt from the weight on her belly. The other ponies quickly wrapped rope around her tying her from her neck to her hind hooves. The whole time she is panting hard from the brief tickling. Hunter walks up to her. "Hm a nice plump belly, I think I'll enjoy this greatly." Hunter smirked. "Ya'r going to be mighty sorry." Applejack grinned. This made the others pull on the ends of the ropes squeezing her and making her groan cutely. The Gold one get's their captive onto his back and they walk around the mountain, coming to a camp with six tents around it. After a few minutes Applejack is now in front of the center tent, staked to the ground in an I-position with Hunter placing a hoof on her belly. "So soft too, your in so much trouble. "Glad ya like it, but don't expect to have me for aaaaack." Applejack groaned suddenly. His hoof pressed into the orange belly as Applejack finished that sentence. Her body trembled from it, but she grinned up at Hunter showing enjoyment from it. Hunter's horn begins to glow white energy, forming the sand into two tentacles. Tips aimed at the belly as his hoof get off it. "Ya won't make me laugh." Applejack declared bravely. "That a challenge, how nice." Hunter smirked. These two begin to swish back and forth against the orange belly very fast against the skin very fast. Moving around on it without mercy. Poor Aj squirmed in place her lips quivering as she tried to keep from laughing. She held on for an impressive thirty minutes sweating bullets from the tension. Finally the poor horse cracks, as the tentacles get her to belt out really huge laughter as a result of it, shaking adorably in place on the ground. Pulling on the ropes while it started. "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO LUCKY BREAK!" Applejack laughed. "Sure little pony, keep telling yourself that." Hunter sneered happily. A third tentacle dips into the belly button, swishing around inside of it making her shriek helplessly and making her arch up. Laughter streaming out of her mouth harder, the poor belly trembled from the attack it was being subjected too. Yet Aj was just enjoying it so much. "Now you will surrender to being my captive, if you wish to get out. You'll need to do so on your own." Hunter explained. "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO WAHAHAHAHAHY, AH'D SOOHOHOHOHOHONER ROAST IN THEHEHEHEHEHE SUN!" Applejack laughed bravely. "Ah in due time, but first things first." This would make her gulp if she wasn't belting out really cute laughter from the attack, she was in deep but she could feel that Hunter wouldn't let her get hurt. Something told her that she would be safe for the "roasting". Right now it was just a matter of how long she could endure the tickling. Two of the ponies walk up to either side of her holding two feather sticks in their hooves. They begin to scrub them against the belly sliding on the skin, and her laughter got stronger from it. She was in the position she wanted to be in, and she absolutely loved it. To be continued. > Applejack Breaks > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impressively Applejack had managed to endure almost seven hours of nonstop tickling as they tried to get her to surrender to being Hunter's Captive. It was sunset right now as she writhed in the ropes holding her to the stakes. All five of those ponies scrubbed their feather sticks on her belly. In addition to ten sand tentacles attacking it as well. Poor Applejack was in huge hysterics by now her laughter extremely hard and frantic sounding aiding to her helpless feeling. Her belly jiggled as those tentacles wiggled along her poor skin, the feather sticks moving in circular motions around it. She could feel her resistance slipping as she was begging for mercy already. "What happened little pony, you were so confident before." Hunter smirked. "PLHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHASE OH PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEEASE NO MOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHORE!" Applejack pleaded cutely. Hunter finally decided to up the ante and go for the clincher. His horn glows again making the sand begin to form into a ball with three pointy brushes at the bottom. This begins to have those brushes sweep in the dead center of her belly, it jiggled faster while her shrieks got louder and her laughter harder. "I call this the belly sweeper." Hunter smirked. "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO NO CAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHALL IT OOHOHOHOHOHOHOFF PLEHEEHEHASE!" Applejack begged adorably. "The suffering will end once you surrender." Hunter chuckled. It was all very intense as Applejack's eyes were stuck wide open unable to close them as they streamed tears as well. She pulled on the ropes but they simply wouldn't budge, not that she really wanted to get free right now. Her laughter just kept pouring out of her for another hour before she finally just couldn't take anymore without a break. "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHOHK OK AH SUHUHHUHUHUHUHUHHUHUHURRENDER!" Applejack laughed. Hunter smirked at this and motioned for his henchponies to pull away from the pony, his sand tools also vanish now as well. Leaving a very exhausted Applejack on the ground staring up at the sky while she panted heavily. Her belly pumping rapidly as she did so, this looked so cute to her captors. "Oh we did our research too during this, so nice that we've got one of the elements of Harmony here." Hunter smirked. This naturally got Applejack to let out a cute whimper at being a possible tickle hostage for them to use to get the rest of them. Hunter takes a seat on her waist making her give a cute grunt as well. She blushed a bit as Hunter's gaze was on her heaving belly "Don't worry though, we won't try to lure them here. But if they attempt to rescue you, then their fair game." "S-something tells me ah've made you very happy." Applejack chuckled weakly. "Of course, you see Applejack I've heard of your heroics and have looked up to you so much. So getting a chance to tickle you is a treat." Hunter placed a hoof on her belly while it pumped adorably. She just laid there eyes half drooped and staring up at the sky while waiting for whatever was next. She felt a tap to her belly, she glanced up at Hunter directing her attention out twenty feet toward two ponies digging a hole. "O-oh that's right." Applejack gulped cutely. "We did promise you'd be roasting in the sun didn't we, don't worry though you won't be in danger." Hunter assured with a grin. "H-heh w-well t-thanks for thinking of me." An hour later Applejack was now in the hole, buried up to her neck in the sand. Next to her was a bottle of pepsi, it was in a special one that would keep it cold. The sand would only get as hot as 80 degress thanks to Hunter's Magic, of course that's not all it could do. "S-so it-t'll let me b-breathe under t-the sand huh." Applejack smiled weakly. "That's right, but we'll wait to do that. Though I do have to ask one thing. Why were you so eager to try and find me?" Hunter smirked. "F-fair q-question there, if it turned out that y-you weren't a tickle pony. Ah would've put up a lot more of a fight w-with ya, no o-offense but f-five ponies r-really ca-an't do much to me." Applejack smirked weakly. "Oh none taken, it just get's you tickled." Applejack really had to wonder how this would be done, but then she got her answer as she felt three sand hands form infront of her belly. They touch it and begin to make her whimper cutely as Hunter grins down at her. Finally they begin scribbling fast on it. This got her laughing hard once again, her head shook rapidly as it was the only thing she could really move. Her body trembled from this as a result. Those sand fingers scribble all around the poor plump belly making sure to get every inch of it. "AH'M SOHOHOHOHOHOHORRY AH'M SOOHOHOHOHOHORRY!" Applejack laughed. The sand hands stop, but they don't vanish. The fingers remain touching on her belly as a warning. Hunter has his tail wiggle underneath Applejac's chin, getting her to raise it. The tail then goes to her nose and begins sweeping on it. It scrunches up as she struggles to hold in a sneeze. "Aww does this bother you." Hunter teased playfully. "C-coooome aaaarg come on don't." Applejack groaned cutely. After a few minutes of this Applejack was forced to let out a cute sneeze, the tail keeps this torment up to get her to sneeze three more times before finally giving her a real break. Letting her sigh in relief, but with a weak smile on her face eyes half drooped. "That's enough for now, your only ten miles away from the camp so we can see you fine. Still, if you need anything just press that belly into the sand fingers. They'll tickle, but it'll wake me up too." Hunter smirked. "W-wow s-so ah'm both safe and at your mercy at the s-same time. I-I don't see myself gettin out of this one easily." Applejack chuckled weakly. "So glad to hear that." He playfully pats Applejack's head to get the workhorse to blush before walking back towards the camp. Applejack took a drink out of her pepsi and then letting out an adorable yawn. No doubt her friends would grow curious about her situation eventually. Two days later the sherrif of Appleoosa sent the note to Applejack's family to inform them of where she was currently. Knowing she was in no danger relaxed them a lot and they made sure to tell her friends as well. Naturally Rainbow was the first one to suggest a rescue attempt, Spike had volunteered to go as well. The two stood in front of Twilight's castle with saddle bags all packed and ready to go. Twilight embraced Spike in a hug for a few minutes before getting in front of them. "How long should we give you two?" Twilight smiled. "Give us three days and we'll have her rescued in a snap." Rainbow declared with a grin. "and if not, well at least she won't be the only one there." Spike chuckled. In a flash they were off the ground and flying towards Appleloosa at high speed. These two were very eager to get this start, they too enjoyed tickling very much thanks to Red Flame's tickle games, and Rainbow Dash was excited to see if they could get her as well as Aj. "You got to wonder what their doing to her right now." Spike chuckled. "Oh yeah poor Aj must really be getting it good if she's been held by them this long." Rainbow smiled. "Well one way or another, we'll be seeing for ourselves." They both gulped at the thought of it, as they were well aware there was a high chance that this could fail and they'd end up joining Applejack. Still they wouldn't be going if they weren't prepared for that outcome. It would take them at least two days to get her. To be continued. > Rescue Gone Wrong > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and Spike had arrived in Appleloosa, they brought along an energy tracker that could lead them to Applejack's energy signal. It was made by Twilight naturally, Spike pulled the square blue device out of the saddle bag and then pressed the red button to turn it on. They were just on the outskirts of the town, the signal flashed Applejack's cutie mark. "Oh man that's a two day trip, go north east Rainbow." Spike explained. "I really want to see what's going on now." Dash grinned excitedly. Rainbow flapped her wings and took to the sky again, they followed the signal for the full two days. Until eventually they made their way to the huge mountain. They glance down and spot the camp. Rainbow Dash decides to land on the mountain where they won't be spotted. She pulled out two pairs of binoculars from the saddle bag and handed one to Spike. "Alright look at the signal again and then find her." Rainbow explained. Looking through those binocluars Spike had difficulty finding Applejack at first, however he soon spotted a head with that cowboy hat, as well as her belly sticking out of the sand. There was a jar of water next to her with a long straw that just barely reached her mouth. "I got her, they buried her in the sand." Spike pointed out. He points to her and Rainbow Dash's gaze went over to her. First the Pegasus chuckled a bit at seeing such a strong pony so helpless. But then it was time to think of a plan, there seemed to be two ponies a silver pony named Slick and a gold Pegasus named Shine guarding her and clearly having their fun with her as they were brushing feather daggers on her belly. "See aren't you glad we let your belly out of the sand." Slick teased. "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOHHOHO AH CAN'T TAHAHAHAHAHAHKE IT!" Applejack pleaded cutely. "Aww, but I think you caaaan." Shine teased playfully. Her belly trembled under the two feather daggers as they forced her cute laughter out of her, all she could move was her belly and head. Her head wobbled on the sand as she couldn't squirm any other way. A feather dagger dips down into her belly button getting her to squeal hard and send her into hysterics. "EEEHEHEHEHEHP NOOHOHOHOHOHOHOT NOT THERE PLEASE!" Applejack pleaded cutely "What a vulnerable little button." Slick teased. "Hm alright Spike, wait here I'll try and scout out the rest of the camp. If I can get back in twenty minutes we'll have a good plan. If not, well then your on your own." Rainbow chuckled. "Gee thanks, I think I'll wait up here till nightfall if your caught." Spike smirked playfully. Rainbow Dash grinned then jumped off the mountain at the opposite side of the camp, she let's her wings glide so her landing is soft in the sand. She crept out from behind one of the tents and peeked her head out. In addition to the ones tormenting Applejack she saw two others. The Green pony named Zenny, and the red and black pony called Crimson. As she turned to make her way back up the mountain. She was greeted by Hunter grinning at her. She sweats nervously and excitedly from seeing the unicorn. His horn glowed a white aura and a feather ring appeared inside of her belly button. She yelped as she felt that. "I trust you have an idea of what that will do." Hunter smirked. "S-sure do." Rainbow Dash gulped cutely. "Hooves up then." Rainbow Dash sighed playfully, but got her front hooves up above her head standing on her hind legs. Hunter marched her out into the open and the two ponies there instantly grew excited at who they had now. Their gaze instantly going to the cute blue belly. "I can't believe we've got Rainbow too now." Crimson grinned excitedly. "I think I want her right here in the camp." Zenny smiled. "Fair enough then." Hunter grinned. Spike watched from ontop of the mountain as they began to truss up Rainbow Dash. They decided to dangle her upside down from a pole attached to the tent. She wiggled in place as they also started to wrap rope around her belly, looping it three times. One for the top of the belly, one above the belly button and one bellow it. "No wings, and now your belly looks even more vulnerable." Hunter smirked. "You think I'm scared." Dash smirked. "Like Applejack, it shouldn't take long. Now then we need to know if you brought anyone with you?" Zenny grinned. "Heh Like I'd need help to get away from you guys, not impressed." Dash bluffed playfully. "That right, better hope your telling the truth." Zenny finished tying the rope and then pulled it to squeeze Rainbow's belly, this got a cute squeak out of her as her body trembled in place. After doing that he went over to their wooden table where there various tickle tools laid out and ready. He picked up a device shaped like a handheld coin launcher. He aimed it at the belly. Rainbow wiggled in suspense as she couldn't help but sweat from it, finally three coins were fired onto her belly. They attached to it and begin to move at blinding speed around the skin, the Pegasus yelped and her lips quivered as she struggled to keep from laughing. Her body writhed in place from the torment. "Guess we'll be adding more coins." Zenny smirked. He pulled the trigger and three more coins shot at the belly, two helped to slide along it with the other three. While one moved into the belly button and begun spinning. This made her arch her back forward while also letting out a huge squeal laughing helplessly now. "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH NO MEHEHEHEHEHRCY!" Rainbow begged cutely. "Did'nt take long to get you begging, talk and this suffering will end." Zenny smirked. "NEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHVER!" Rainbow laughed. While the coins moved and spun on her poor belly and button, Crimson picked up two paint brushes. He walked over to Rainbow, then began to swipe them up and down on the blue skin making her laughter grow louder. The bristles glowed crimson and a trail of the same color was left as the brushes moved on the belly. "Such a ticklish little wonderbolt." Crimson smirked. This got her to blush and her laughter started to get a frantic tone to it as she felt more and more helpless. Her belly jiggled under the tools tormenting it looking very adorable to the eye. Hunter stared at it for a few minutes, before charging up his horn. Sand began to form into two sand rods. They slowly begin to slide and scrub against the helpless belly, moving along the skin getting the Pegasus to laugh harder. A third sand rod dipped into the belly button now getting her to squeal as well. She held on for a good six hours of this, before finally Spike flew down to the ground with his hands up above his head. "She came here with me, you can stop the interrogation." Spike sighed in playful defeat. "How brave of you little dragon, are you sacrificing yourself because your really that brave. Or cause we're just tickling them and thus less risk for you." Hunter grinned. "Both actually." Spike chuckled nervously. Hunter signaled for the other two to stop their tickling, the coins went back into the launcher and the sand rods vanished from her belly. This left Rainbow hanging limp in the ropes panting heavily, her belly pumping adorably from her tired breathing. "Aww and you were just about to crack too." Zenny grinned. "O-oooh I pr-retty much already have." Rainbow Dash chuckled weakly. "Rainbow can join Aj, the dragon will stay here." Hunter grinned. Thirty minutes later Rainbow Dash was staked out in an x-position next to where Applejack was buried. Both of them had their eyes drooped exhausted from their tickle sessisons. They glance at each other and smile weakly. "T-that w-was kind of a b-bad r-rescue." Applejack grinned weakly. "Y-your right, I s-should waited and watched them torment you awhile first." Rainbow Dash smirked back. They chuckle and resume staring up at the sky, the guards had left them alone for now while they got Spike set up. So they had a good thirty minutes to talk before they were subjected to more tickling. They could smell fire coming from the camp, but they knew Spike was fireproof so he was safe. Soon Zenny started walking back to them. "W-what are you doing to S-spike." Rainbow Dash asked tiredly. "Oh let's just say he's "roasting" but it's perfectly safe." Zenny grinned. Zenny sat next to Applejack who gave a nervous gulp as he had brought with him a gun shaped device, however it had three metal rods attached to the tip of the gun. He aimed it at the belly and it began to shiver in place from being so close to it. "N-not the b-belly buster." Applejack pleaded cutely. "Such a sensitive little pony you are huh?" Zenny smirked. He pulled the trigger and the rods began to scribble on the orange belly now. This got her to explode in really cute laughter now, it trembled adorably under those rods as she tried to wiggle but of course couldn't budge in the sand. They move in circular patterns around the skin. "You two will be subjected to this every thirty minutes with only fifteen minute breaks. So anything about Spike we should know about?" Zenny smirked. They both knew they couldn't handle another interrogation now, Rainbow quickly gave up the information that Spike could send letters to anyone in equestrian. Including the rest of their friends. Zenny grinned and quickly set up the belly buster on it's stand as it scribbled on Aj's belly making the pony laugh hard. "Soon we'll have all eight of you." Zenny smirked. He began to walk back toward the camp while the rods began to vibrate on Applejack's belly now. Her laughter got louder from feeling that as her skin shivered and trembled from it. Rainbow Dash gulped cutely knowing everypony would be joining them soon. To be continued.
