-Aj-
As I launched myself towards Ponyville, I aimed myself for home. That was the only thing on my mind and I had to get there as fast as I could. I may not be as fast as Dash, but having super strength does come in handy. Let's me run faster and top speeds of almost a hundred.
Currently, I was in mid jump. My strength allots me to be able to clear a half mile in a single bound. I fall back down hard enough to crack the ground beneath me. I saw Apple Acres in the distance. People were crowding my orchards. There were animals swarming the trees and grass.
I growl and starts running again. When I get fast enough, I start to jump. Each jump getting higher and longer. Within five bounds, I cross the fence over into my lands. Another jump landed me at the back of my house. The Apples were being bombarded by people trying to find a safe place for their animals.
There was so much shouting and arguing going on that it drove me insane within seconds. I clap my hands together once. Hard enough for the loud clap and an explosion of air to quiet the crowd. They held their hands over their ears; afraid that I would do it again.
"What The Hell Is Going On In My Orchard?!" I shout.
"Twilight sent them all here," Braeburn stepped forward from behind all of the Apples. He stood only second, now current tallest of the family. Big Mac being the tallest if he was still around, "She's working on clearing the town. You should go see her."
"Come with me then," I take his hand and pulls him along, "I'm guessing she's going to want the Apples for something. I need my second with me when she gives the command."
"Is the tree safe?" he stops and grips my hand to stop me, "Is it safe?"
"Of course it is," then it his me, "Wait," I frown and takes my hand from him. I pull back away from him, "How do you know about the...?" I scoff and gets into a fighting stance, "If you want the tree Red, you will have to win in Trial by Combat."
Braeburn smiled evilly before slumping over. A red oozing figure climbed out of his back. When it jumped out, Braeburn fell unconscious on the ground. It landed in front of me before solidifying into the figure of Applebloom, "I will take your mind before you can land a single blow."
"Not if she has anything to say about it," I smile when I see Silver Apple's ooze building into a human form.
Red turns around, "There you are," she said with a low growl, "I'm finally back and ready for round two."
"How did you get back here?" Silver growled back.
"Where you sent me, it was a prison. All I had to do was find The Key. I found it, but I need your strength. Everyone's strength and I will take it."
"You're still weak from coming back, so you can't even take me on," Silver's hands elongated into blades.
Red's arms turned into gooze tentacles, "I can sense you're weak too. You're time is almost up. So all I have to do is fight and both of you will then fall."
Red spoke like she knew something. I look to Silver, "Silver? What is she talking about?"
"When I die, you will gain all of my powers, but it will put you in a deep sleep for a week. Your body will need time to be able to adjust to the power. So she'll be able to kill us both," as she spoke her sadness formed to tears, "I should have told you sooner."
"Don't tell me this is your last time?" I grow angry.
She just looks to Applebloom, "You didn't have time to claim more than one soul. Everyone has learned to deal with emergencies like this."
"I know my sister won't kill me," she turns to me with an evil smile.
"Don't think I won't," I say calmly before taking a step forward. I lunge hard from the second step to send me into a spiral. As I flew towards my sister, as expected she banked right to dodge my attack. Silver lunged as well, Applebloom got the better of her by jumping high up.
Applebloom forced a land on Silver's head. The landing forced the ground to give way to the impact. Silver turned into a pile of goop as Applebloom sent a fist down into the goop. The blow made my heart skip a beat. My energy felt drained.
I stood there frozen as Applebloom pulled her fist out. Along with it, a small jagged grey glowing crystal was gripped in her hand. With the raw power she had, she crushed the heart.
I growl and scrunch my face as I move as fast as my drained body could. Applebloom moved faster and kneed me in the gut. I fall to my hands and knees; trying to get the breath knocked out of me back. Before I could recover, I felt a hard kick into my gut. I get flown far over a few houses before I crash into a house. My body broke through the walls and was forced through the second level floor. I landed on the first floor, right into a glass table.
I felt the shards of glass cutting into my skin. I slowly get to my feet. Dizziness set in and I falter back down to my hands and knees. The front door of the house in the other room was broken down, "I know you're in here sister," I hear Applebloom laugh, "The Spirit World has made me stronger than you. Silver didn't know what she was talking about."
I grab the biggest shard of glass I could find before crawling over to the couch. I sit myself up and leans against the foot of the couch. I sat on the floor and waited for my sister to come into the room. Her twisted smile grew bigger when she saw me, "I bet you're feeling it. The draining of your energy. The disorientation. You will soon fall under, and I will finally have my vengeance."
"You killed Granny and Silver sent you to hell. You're the one that will fall," I struggle to stand, "You're still blind to things that I have been seeing for the longest time."
"There is nothing more for you, sister," sadness gripped Applebloom's voice, "You will be my first step in controlling the world. May the Realm be as unforgiving to you as it was to me."
I knew she would make the first move. It got me ready. She leaned in and charged at me. As she did, I leaned in as I moved the shard of glass in the middle of my chest. I close my eyes and twists my body so I jump forward. I turned my body upside down as I floated forward.
Something dragged itself across the tip of the jagged blade. I land on my back as a wail of pain echoed through the house. I sit up sluggishly to see Applebloom holding her chest. Orange blood fell from the long gash running down her chest. She was on the ground writhing in pain.
"You see," I pant. I started to really feel my body wanting to go to sleep, but I fought it for as long as I could, "You're still not smart enough to know how to beat me."
All I could do was crawl over to her. She sat up as I moved closer to her. When she sat up, I shoved the blade right into her chest. A gargled scream made me flinch.
I couldn't fight it anymore. I needed sleep. If this is it, then at least I know my friends will save Equestria without me. I fall on to my stomach and slips into sleep. The last thing me hearing, were the screams of pain from my sister.
