It was now morning and the sound of movement hit my ears which startled me from my dreams. So I shot up into a seated position and saw both the Lunas and Blu digging their way through my drawers and shoving all of my clothes into my dufflebag, "What the hell are you three doing?" I rubbed my eyes to wake them up.
"We are trying to make up for you sleeping in," Blu zipped up my bag and tossed it to me as Luna tossed me a snowsuit, "Put that on and we'll get outta here."
"Oh yeah!" I exclaimed as I stood and just put the snow suit over my briefs.
Once it was on, Blu asked me, "Are you ready to rock?" I dipped my chin in response, "Then let's roll."
-Celestia-
I was awaiting for the perfect time to raise the sun on top of the castle as I began thinking about the news that had just poured in about my four heros. One was in the hospital and the others were on their way to Yakyakastan to try and avenge the harm that has befallen on of their fallen. My watch's alarm went off and I turned it off. I used my powers to raise the sun. It always took a lot out of me, but after years of raising both the sun and the moon, I got used to it.
As I was doing this, I began thinking about what I had done to my sister a thousand years ago. Guilt clung to my chest as I thought about what I had done to her. In my own disgust of homosexuals, I killed the very woman she loved. I would've tried destroying the most powerful person in all of Equestria if the love of my life's life was in danger. So now that I look back on it, like I always have for the past few centuries, I should've tried harder to take her out of banishment instead of listening to the council and keeping her there. When she comes home, I will try and do my best to make it up to her.
"What do you plan on doing with my Candidates Celestia?" I heard the voice of Conan behind me.
I turned around and saw the old man eyeing me with his good eye, "What are you talking about?"
"You've sent four innocent souls to their death, ye have," he was in tears, "Those are good kids Celestia. And you've practically killed them. One in the hospital and the other three missing in action."
"I didn't expect the Yaks to attack!" I shouted at him.
"Those are my kids," he sobbed more, "We must go get them!"
"Why should we? Even if I wanted to, I couldn't!"
"What are you so afraid of?"
"The council," I turned around and tried not to cry, "Last time I disobeyed the council, my sister paid the price. I was so caught up in me instead of the country that I lost her."
"You'll lose her forever if you don't go over there and rescue her. All of those who have bonded with her are dispersed. She's all alone and how do you think it makes her feel that her own sister won't step down from her pedastool to come and save her? Unless, she's not your sister and you were involved in something at the time she was born to make her just a tool for you to use."
"I'll go save her, but that makes you in charge."

"Look at my poor baby," Apple's mom, Apple Smith looked down at her coma ridden daughter, "How long has she been like this?" she asked the doctor.
"A week now," the doctor spoke in grim, "She's stable, but the trauma to her body will take time to heal."
"How much time?" she brushed a few tendrils of yellow hair from Apple's face.
"At the rate of healing, I'm guessing another three weeks. After she wakes up, she'll need to go through physcal therapy."
"For what?"
"We had to replace her whole left shoulder and arm."
"Why?" Apple Smith started freaking out.
"The metal had a poison that began eating at the bones in her body. By the time she underwent surgery, most of the left side of her ribs and her left shoulder were missing. We had no choice and were forced to amputate her arm. Thankfully, we've had major breakthroughs in nanobiochemical robotics."
"What does that mean?"
"We were able to take her DNA and replicate it enough to where we could fuse it together with nanotechnology and make her an arm. Currently, we are installing the software into her nervous system so she'll be able to fully control the arm."
"How much did it cost?"
"For you, nothing. Princess Celestia paid for it all."
"Where is she?"
"From what I've heard, she is on her way here now."
"What did you hear about her friends?"
"They've gone to Yakyakastan to find answers."
"And what of Luna?"
"She went with them. But don't you worry ma'am, Princess Luna and Sweetie Apple have gotten pretty close over recent days. I know that Luna will pull through."
"She killed my mother. How can I not hate her and not trust her?"
"I wish I could say, but you must trust her all the same. She does," we both looked at Sweetie Apple who's eyes were already open.
"Apple!" I exclaimed and sat on her cot.
She sat up without a word and began pulling out all the tubed connected to her body, "Miss Apple, you have to keep these in."
She pushed his hands away and got out of bed. Her left arm twitched and she held it, "Ah!" she stretched it and it popped, "I need to see Blu."
"You have some recovery to go through before you leave here," the doctor stood in front of her, which was a really bad idea.
"Move, or I'll move you."
"Your arm-?"
"My arm is a part of a technology that I helped create. I know what is needed to be done. So I'm gonna just skip the spinning rims and chrome polish and get straight into sync mode."
"Well, then they're heading for Yakyakastan. Your friends and Luna have probably made it there by now," he looked into her eyes, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just ready to rock and roll."
"As an ethical doctor though, I really can't allow you to leave."
Apple stood fully erect and towered over the man by over a foot, "If you don't move, I'll move you for you."
"Don't say I didn't warn you," he growled before storming off, "Why don't you listen?" I snapped.
"What are you talking about mom? Hell, why are you even here?"
"I heard that you got hurt, so I came."
"You didn't have to."
"I love you and I came to see that you are all okay. You're not the little girl that left the house almost six years ago."
"That's because I've grown up, mom! I've been forced to do so because I've been trying to prove myself!"
"Just come back home and all will be fine."
"I don't need you to protect me!"
"And Why Is That?" I shouted back at her.
"MOM! LOOK AT ME! I'M A FREAK OF NATURE! I DON NOT NEED PROTECTING!"
I kept silent for a few moments as I looked into her tear filled eyes, "I know what you've gone through but please Sweets, please allow me to help you."
"What about me needs protecting? Is it the fact that I'm genetically built to be a monster?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about! I'm a monster! A Fucking Monster!"
"No you're not! You're just something special."
"I don't need all of this! Just get out of my life!" her skin began turning green as her bulk began to grow and the earth began to shake, "I HATE YOU!"
She raised her fists and forced them down. I crossed my forearms above my head to catch them. When our arms collided, a sound wave blasted out.
-Blaze-
There was only women, children, and gay men left in the village. Blu and I wore Yak clothes as Rota wore child clothes. We pretended to be Yaks from the norther Yak colony with our adopted child, Ferner. Which was Rota. Since she was so small, she could pass off as a Yak child. Which she is annoyingly good at, "Daddy, I'm tired!" she yawned as she held my hand. We walked down the street looking at the faces of those families that have lost their husbands and fathers in the war against Sweets.
"What's going on here?" Blu asked me, "It's like everyone died here and came back to life."
"They just lost their loved ones Blu. They're sad, and I don't think I can go through with it."
"What about Luna?"
"I think that she can hold her own," I told him.
"Daddy?" I looked down and saw Rota reaching up for me. I picked her up and held her on my hip, "Over there," she looked to a large hut with the door open. We walked for what seemed like forever and a half until we reached the open door. Inside the hut was surprisingly warm. I took off the heavy fur coat and hung it on a hook to my right. I set Rota down and held her hand.
"Welcome weary travelers," an elderly woman came hobbling in on a cane, "What can I do ye fer?"
"We just need a room for the week," I responded.
"Any specific accomldations for the little one?" she looked to Rota who was now hugging my leg to try and seem innocent, "Oh look at her, she's so Precious. How old is she?"
"She's seven," I placed a hand on her head.
"What amazing eyes. She must be a descendant of the Great Luna."
"Great Luna?"
"Yes, the master of the 's quite a sensation around here. Only if I could meet her. That would make my life..." her voice trailed off as did her eyes to behind us. We turned around and saw Luna walking in. She had a scared look on her face, "Oh my word."
"Luna, what is it?" Blaze asked.
"There has been an attack against Canterlot. A hulking green figure has destroyed half the castle and is on its way here."
"What does it want?" I asked.
Luna pulled out a phone and hande it to me. I sas a frozen screen of a green woman, so I tapped the screen and the video began playing, "Apple! Calm Down!" Celestia demanded. The green beast turned around to face her.
"I want Bluuu!"
"Then calm down!" Celestia snapped, "You've already proved your point!" the camera man pullout a gun and pointed it at Apple, "Draco! NO!" he fired a few rounds before Apple charged at him and the screen went black.
"We have to go see what's up!" Blu spoke quickly.
"Why not wait until she gets here?" Luna asked, "She's gonna get pissed even more so when she sees that you aren't here. Let's just wait."
"And then what? You already know what she is and I already know that she has a temper. I'm guess from what we just saw, that's not a good mix. How are we going to stop her?"
"I think that she knows and all she needs is you."
"Thunder Blu!" we heard shouted from outside.
I pushed aside Luna and went outside to see Apple launching Snow Trucks into buildings. People were running and screaming to try and get away from her, "Blu!" is all I said as I pointed.
"On it!"
-Blu-
I ran up to the 'Hulk'; she towered almost six feet over me and stood twice as wide, "Baby," I cooed, "Baby, calm down, okay?" I grabbed her hand and smiled.
"Blu," she dropped to her knees. She lifted my hand and I moved it to her cheek. Her glowing green eyes, seemed to dim as she sighed.
"Wanna calm down?" I asked her soothingly. Bullets were then fired, "NOOOOOOOO!" I bellowed as Apple's eyes turned angry. She jumped to her feet and whipped around. Apple picked up a flat scrap of metal and launched it like a frisbee. Three charging men were grazed on the head by the metal, "Wait!" they stopped, "Give her time to calm down!"
"Aye, she's destroying our-!" Apple moved toward him with such precision speed and threw a punch. He was sent back with blood spewing from his mouth.
"Blaze!" I turned around, "I have to use the suit."
"You think it's ready to fight her?"
"I built it for this moment," I hit a button on my watch, "APPLE!" she turned too look at me, "C'mon big girl. Come to daddy."
She began to charge at me as a whooshing sound began rifling through the air. I lifted my hands and robotic hands immediately engulfed my hands. I performed a left hook and caught Apple in the chin. She stumbled back and shook her head as the rest of the suit wrapped around my body. The inside of the helmet beeped on, "Good morning Master Blu," the sound of Apple's voice greeted me.
"Sweets, assess the situation," I began dodging and weaning away from the punches and kicks Apple dolled out.
"Sweetie Apple seems to have unlocked an Ancient Energy," a scanner revealed green aura energy seeping out of Apple, "Judging from the sample of the Aura Energy, the madder she gets, the stronger she becomes."
"Is there anyweaknesses I should know about Sweets?"
"None, that I can pick up. You must sap her of all her energy really, in order to stop her."
"Does the suit have enough power? Ah!" I was side kicked through a building.
"At this rate, the suit might be too damaged to see it to energy depletion."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," I groaned to my feet.
"You are most welcome Master Blu."
"Smartass," Apple bore through a building and slid to a stop in front of me, "Apple, it's me,: my helmet folded back to reveal my face to her, "It's okay, I'm not here to hurt you."
"Blu?" she mewled before slowly blowing air through her nose.
Because of the suit, I stood at eye level with Apple, "It's okay," the suit opened up in front and I stepped out of it. When I did, it folded itself up into a small blu and green suitcase, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here," I smiled.
I noticed that her clothes weren't shedding off like I thought they were. It looks as though her pants and bra band had stretched to better fit her larger frame, "Blu," Apple dropped to her knees once again as I reached for her cheek, "...I'm sorry..." she slowly breathed.
"It's okay," I held her face and kissed her forehead. Apple looked into my eyes as she smiled, "Just calm down."
"Hey you two," Blaze slowly walked up to us with Rota.
"...friends..." Apple hummed happily. Her body began to shrink as steam began to sizzle off her body. When she returned to normal size, I picked her up like a baby. Her legs were hooked over my right arm as my other arm held her back. She wrapped her arms around my neck to keep her balance steady. I began walking toward Yakyakastan's exit toward the Crystal Empire, "We have to get home."
We walked in silence with the sound of the wind in our ears and the chill nipping at our faces, "Oi!" we turned around to see Yaks heading our way, "She destroyed half our village, she can't leave."
"You Yaks tried taking The Empire."
"Not us; the ones left are the ones who said nay in the fight. All we wanted was peace between our two civilizations. But there is no way in hell that's gonna happen now."
"So what do you suppose we do?"
"For us any destruction of property gets a charge of five gladiator matches."
"We rather pay thanks," I stood my ground.
"That's not how we work," Yaks began surrounding us. Women and men formed a circle around us. Apple moved out of my arms and stood up, "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Let's not fight. Besides I know that they'll be easy," she smiled weakly at me before turning toward the crowd, "As you wish," she dipped her chin, "We shall pay our debt."
