Hey everybody, Davidtheumbreon here, to say that this chapter is finally up, now I have been busy lately that is why the chapter is late, now to say some things, first off I am proud of the first paragraph, but I know that it can get cheesy, but you will have to live with it, and also I am thinking of doing a Team Fortress 2/My Little Pony crossover, but I am still deciding, but anyways enjoy the chapter.
On the day after the death of Granny Smith, all that could felt around the town was sadness, everything was closed, and all the ponies went to Granny Smith's funeral, including the entire Apple Family, even Princess Celestia and Princess Luna themselves attended the funeral. Twilight Sparkle sent letters to Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Big Macintosh, telling them the sad news, and that they should come as soon as possible, and within an hour of sending the letter's, they came back to Ponyville, even Soarin came with Rainbow Dash, telling the purple unicorn that he came because he had to lead the rainbow Pegasus back, because Rainbow Dash couldn't concentrate on her flying. As each pony that knew Granny Smith talked about her, not a single pony could hold back their tears, knowing that the founder of Ponyville, was killed by the hands of a Predicon. Princess Celestia proposed to make a statue of the deceased pony, and Princess Luna wanted to make a consolation her, but the Apple Family said no, saying that they did not want the deceased pony to be portrayed as a hero, because she was a apple farmer through and through. The burial came and Granny Smith was placed on the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres, with a seed of her surname planted behind her tombstone which read "Here lays Granny Smith, Grandmother of three apples, mother of Ponyville". Everypony was there, except for one.
Applejack was in the barn, in her robot mode, shooting down dummies that she made. Her anger was seething through her body, and in her mind, only one thing was going through, to kill Quickstrike. She let her guns cool down and proceeded to kick one of the dummies, causing it to fly and crash through the barn wall.
"A.J, what are you doing?" a voice asked from behind, Applejack turned around a pointed her blaster at the intruders face, who happened to be Rainbow Dash.
"Whoa, careful Applejack,"
"Sorry Rainbow Dash,"
"Applejack, why are you in here, you missed Granny Smiths funeral,"
"Oh, that was today?"
Rainbow Dash stared at the orange earth pony with shock.
"Applejack, this is your own grandmother, the founder of Ponyville, and you forget that today was her funeral!?"
"Look Rainbow, I have had a lot on my mind,"
"And what could be so important that you would forget a funeral!?" Rainbow Dash yelled, in response Applejack grabbed the rainbow Pegasus and slammed her against the wall, and put her blaster against Rainbow Dashes head.
"That is none of your business!" Applejack yelled, her optics glowing red as she stared at her friend, who was struggling to get out of the iron grip..
"Applejack! Let me go!" she yelled, Applejack threw the Pegasus against the wall, the impact causing her to go right through it, Rainbow Dash tried to stand up, but fell to the ground when she felt an intense pain in her right fore-leg. Applejack went to the hole and looked at her injured friend.
"I want you to get off of my property right now!" she yelled and walked away. Rainbow Dash turned on her comlink to contact Twilight Sparkle.
"Twilight, I need some help here,"
"What is it? Is it a Predicon attack?"
"No I'm injured and I can't move,"
"I'll be right over, and I'll bring Fluttershy so she can heal you,"
"No Twilight, just get me and teleport me to Fluttershy's cottage, I don't want her to see the pony who did this to me,"
"Okay, I'll be right there, where are you?" Twilight Sparkle asked, there was a long silence before Rainbow Dash answered.
"Just outside Applejack's barn, where she threw me through a wall,"
At the Predicon base, Quickstrike was bragging about the fact that he killed someone close to the orange farm pony, which was getting on the other Predicons nerves.
"He should really shut up, the pony was as old as Primus, she was most likely going to die the next day," Blackaracnia said annoyed after hearing Quickstrike brag to her the tenth time.
"Actually from what I heard, that old pony was the founder of the village Ponyville, so that old pony was very important to them," Tarantulas explained, Brackaracnia slapped her spider partner on the head and exclaimed, "Shut up, we don't want him to brag about it more!"
Megatron looked at the scene and sighed, he couldn't believe that he was surrounded by complete imbeciles, but still e needed them to destroy the Maximals, and conquer Ponyville. Trying to ignore the idiocy that was happening around him, he heard the buzzing of Waspinator, in robot mode, flying up to him.
"Megatron will not believe what Waspinator saw," Waspinator said to Megatron, causing the Transmetal leader to look at the wasp Predicon irately.
"It better be good Waspinator,"
Waspinator saw Orange Pony-bot throw Rainbow Pony-bot threw a wall,"
This information caused Megatron to look surprised, from what Tarantulas read about Applejack, she would never hurt her friend on purpose, and even then she had to be really angry, but this was different, it seemed that she was willing to hurt anyone now.
"Quickstrike, Blakaracnia, go spy on Applejack, and see why she acted that way," Megatron ordered, his curiosity rising by the minute.
"Sure thing Boss-bot." Quickstrike said and ran off, Blackaracnia following.
In Fluttershy's cottage, Fluttershy was in robot mode, repairing Rainbow Dashes leg, Fluttershy was repairing the leg with a device that goes out the top of the wrist, she found this out when Rarity came in with her horn chipped, and Fluttershy was able to weld the missing peice back on. During the repair Twilight Sparkle was telling Fluttershy what happened.
"But Applejack would never do that," Fluttershy said, Twilight Sparkle just sat on a chair and looked at the yellow Pegasus with a sad face.
"I know it's hard to believe, but when I got to the barn to get Rainbow Dash, Applejack shot at me, and by the look of her red eyes, it looked like she wanted to kill me," Twilight Sparkle said, Rainbow Dash gave the purple unicorn a confused look.
"Twilight, AJ's eyes are green, not red," Rainbow Dash pointed out, Twilight realised that and began to think, and the thought that came to her head was not one she ever wanted to think of.
"I think Applejack is slowly becoming a Predicon,"
"That's ridiculous Twilight, you remember what happened the day we turned into what we are now, Tarantulas switched the team chip to Maximals by accident, how can she become a Predicon?" Rainbow Dash said, not believing the purple unicorn.
"Think Rainbow Dash, why would she be so angry and train that much?"
Rainbow Dash thought for a bit and came to a conclusion, her eyes widened in fear.
"Applejack is going to kill Quickstrike, in revenge for Quickstrike killing Granny Smith,"
Twilight Sparkle nodded.
"And if Applejack succeeds in killing Quickstrike, she would most likely enjoy it and join the Predicons," the purple unicorn said, Fluttershy finished repairing the cyan pegasus's leg and look at Twilight Sparkle.
"What will we do?"
Twilight Sparkle looked at the ground in sadness and said. "I don't know,"
At the barn, Quickstrike and Blackaracnia were watching the orange earth pony shooting at some dummies, and occasionally kicking them, causing them to explode on impact when it hits the wall.
"I have to admit, that sugar-bot kicks can sure pack a punch," Quickstrike whispered to the spider Predicon. Blackaracnia had to admit, this robot pony was sure making quick work of the dummies. The two continued to watch as Applejack destroyed the last dummy she looked at the remains and said to herself out loud.
"Now time to kill Quickstrike, for what he did to Granny Smith,"
Quickstrike optics went wide.
"Wait, that old green pony, was close to this sugar-bot?"
"Actually Fuzor, Granny Smith was Applejack's grandmother," Blackaracnia pointed out, causing the Fuzor to look at the female Predicon.
"Her grandmother!?" Quickstrike shouted, the noise caused Applejack to turn around and see the two Predicon, her optics turned red and raised her gun, pointed her gun at Quickstrike.
"Yes, she was my grandmother, and now you will pay," Applejack said, she was about to pull the trigger, when she was tackled to the ground by Big Macintosh in robot form.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you two have to get out of here!" Big Macintosh yelled, holding down his struggling sister. Quickstrike and Blackaracnia ran off, with Quickstrike having fear on his face.
"Oh slag, what are we going to do!?"
"We, look she is after you, not me," Blackaracnia said, going into her beast mode and going up a tree, Quickstrike wanted to yell at her, but right now running from the crazy farm pony was his top priority.
Back at the barn, Applejack and Big Macintosh were fighting each other, Big Macintosh was covered in dents and scratches, Applejack was the same but was holding up against her bigger and stronger brother.
"Applejack you have to stop this!" Big Macintosh yelled, he got kicked in the stomach, causing him to stagger to the wall behind him.
"Why should I, he killed Granny Smith! Now I am going to kill him!" Applejack shouted, she grabbed her gun and ran out to the Everfree Forest to get Quickstrike. Big Macintosh walked away from the wall to get her sister, but fell down from his injuries.
"Big Mac, are you okay!?" someone yelled, the red robotic pony looked up to see Twilight Sparkle and her friends plus Soarin, in their robot forms, run up to him.
"Don't worry I'll live, but you have to get Applejack," Big Macintosh said, Twilight Sparkle gave a nod and looked at the others.
"Soarin, Rainbow Dash, get Big Macintosh into the barn, and make sure that nopony goes in, Fluttershy, I want you to fly over the forest and try to find Applejack, everypony else follow me," Twilight Sparkle ordered. Everypony nodded and did what they were ordered to, Rainbow Dash and Soarin helped Big Macintosh into the barn, Fluttershy flew above the Everfree forest, and Pinkie Pie and Rarity followed Twilight Sparkle into the Everfree forest.
Quickstrike slowed down and looked around.
"I think I'm safe now, there is no way that sugar-bot could follow me," he said to himself, he heard a click from behind and looked, to see Applejack pointing her revolver at the fuzor. Quickstrike, in desperation, pointed his weapon at the orange robot and fired, Applejack just rolled away and fired back, hitting thefuzors weapon and damaging it. Quickstrike looked at his damaged weapon then at Applejack, and ran off, Applejack looked at where Quickstrike was running, gave a cold smile, and slowly followed him.
Quickstrike was running as fast as he could, he needed to get to the Darksider fast, and unfortunately it was right in the middle of the forest. He looked behind to see if the orange robotic pony was there, and to his relief she was not there, then he felt pain in his leg as he fell down. The Fuzor sat up to see to see what was wrong with his leg, his optics widened when he saw a hole in his leg. A click was heard and Quickstrike looked towards the sound to see a gun and the holder, Applejack, standing there.
"Okay you had your fun, now I get to have my revenge," Applejack said manically and pointed her revolver at the Fuzor, Quickstrike shut off his optics and heard a loud bang, not feeling any pain he turned on his optics to see Applejack with a surprised look on her face, and her revolver on the ground 10 feet away from them.
"Nice shot Fluttershy,"
Applejack looked towards the sound to see Fluttershy with her sniper rifle pointed at them, the barrel smoking, and Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity standing right beside her. Twilight Sparkle walked up to her Earth Pony friend and the Predicon, she glared at Quickstrike and said, "We may have saved you this time, but you hurt anypony again, and we will not hesitate to kill you,"
Quickstrike nodded in response, painfully got up, and limped off. Applejack started to run after him, but was suddenly held back with the purple unicorns magic, Applejack struggled against the magic as she shouted and screamed.
"Let me go, let me kill that Predicon, he doesn't deserve to live!"
Twilight Sparkled looked away, not wanting to see her friend act like this; she walked to the others, with Applejack floating behind her.
"Let's get out of here, and help our friend,"
A week passed as Applejack was kept restrained until she calmed down and was able to think clearly, she apologized to her friends about the way she acted, they forgave her saying that she was angry and wanted justice for her grandmother, even if it was the wrong type of justice, but they never told Applejack that she was slowly becoming a Predicon, in fear that she would go and try to attack the Predicons.
At the edge of the apple farm, Applejack looked over her grandmother grave and took her hat off.
"Hi Granny Smith, it's me Applejack, sorry for not talking to you for so long, I was just so angry that I didn't think, and wanted to kill the one that killed you. I am so sorry for the way I acted, but I make this promise to you, I will do everything to make sure that nopony else dies, that nopony else feels sadness, and most importantly, make sure that the Predicons are defeated," Applejack said, she put her hat back on and walked away from the grave.
