Ezio woke up with a jolt. He looked at his surroundings and realized that he was in a forest. "Ah, my head. Where am I? Where is the Apple?" He looked around and when his headache was gone, he was able to focus better. "This is no ordinary forest, all of the trees are apple trees! And this world, it reminds me of the Apple's energy, I just don't know how exactly." He still felt incredibly dazed, and had a hard time standing up.
He stopped when he heard a little girls voice say, "The light came from over here Applejack!"
"Slow down Applebloom! Yer going too fast!" said, who Ezio assumed was, Applejack.
When the two girls came around the corner, Ezio was just getting up, brushing off leaves and swaying as though he was drunk. When Applebloom saw him get up, she got scared and hid behind Applejack, peering out from behind her.
"Who are you?" asked Applejack, angrily. When she got a good look at Ezio, she backed off and said, "What are you, why are you here?"
Ezio could detect a hint of fear in her voice, but she even more so angry after she realized that he was a monster to her. "I am Ezio Auditore da Firenze." just now turning around and seeing what they were. "The hell?" he shouted, jumping back after seeing multiple candy colored ponies. "I can ask you the same questions." he retorted, trying to regain his demeanor and intimidate her at the same time.
It didn't work. Applejack turned around, prepared to buck him, quicker than he could follow, but stumbled on a rock on the ground and aimed to the left of where she wanted. Ezio dodged the attack and Applebloom ran to get help.
Applejack shied away and then tackled him, breaking his concentration and knocking him out as he hit his head on a tree.
He awoke tied to a pole in a barn with his weapons removed. He could hear voices talking about something, he paid attention and he heard Applejack say, "I don't know Twilight, this creature is a mystery to me."
He knew that they were talking about him. He heard a noise coming from outside, a blade being drawn from a sheathe, but different. Then he gasped, "They have my blades!" he said to himself.
"And what about these Applejack? I've never seen anything like them in Ponyville. I want to take these back to my library, and take them apart, to see how they work, they're highly advanced." said Twilight, referring to the hidden blades.
"Hey! Don't break my blades!" yelled Ezio, who's ropes he had undone just before hearing that. This scared the two and they ran in just as he jumped towards them. He felt a headrush, knocking him off balance, and Applejack took this moment to kick him in the gut. He slid back, holding his gut, and Twilight used her magic to levitate him and hold him there.
"Alright talk!" said Applejack. "Who are you, where do you come from, and why did you attack me? And most importantly, what are you?"
"I am Ezio Auditore da Firenze, I came from Italy, I wasn't thinking properly at the time. I am a human." Then he remembered about the Apple, "Are you illusions from the Apple?"
"Human? Apple?" asked Twilight, shocked.
"The Apple is a great and powerful artifact where I come from, many have tried to use it to control and twist peoples minds, but I sealed it in a secret location so nobody could use it for evil again."
"He's lying Twilight, there's tons of apples here, and they've never tried to control my mind! He is bad, that 'not thinking properly' stuff wont work on me!" said Applejack remembering the fight with him.
"No Applejack, he's not lying, this man is telling the truth." Twilight said, as she let him go. "He is a good person, the Apple messed with his mind."
"Thank you, Twilight was it? Wait, I can't be affected by the apple in normal circumstances, this world must be different then mine, do you know something that I don't know?" he asked Twilight.
Twilight looked away and said, "During my studies, I did come across 6 artifacts that were called 'Apples.' they were indeed powerful artifacts Applejack, and the fact that you were controlled by the apple in this world was because this world had a seventh apple, and it was shattered, leaving the air with particles of it."
Then Applejack said, "So what now, what do we do with the guy that attacked me?"
Ezio sat down, looked at Applejack and said, "I'm sorry Applejack. Are you ok?" saddened at what he has done.
This shocked Applejack, and after a moment, she said, "Oh, alright sugercube, I forgive you." Then she went up to him and sat next to him.
