Thanks for your patience and especially your reviews :D! I didn't have a lot of reviewers, but I'm really thankful to you two who actually took your time to write a review ;)! And thank you Texasbean for joining my little humble group of reviewers :D! Yeah, my grammar stinks right now, but I'm hoping that it will improve ^^ (English isn't my native language y'know :P). And thanks for the fave :D!
Oh, and I had a lot of fun on our camping trip :D! Where I actually got bit by a frog -.-... I didn't even know frogs could bite... Wonder if it was a zombie (Zombie-frogs? Holy rollerskating Jesus Batman!)

And blame The Master on the inconvenient cliffhanger in the last chapter, right when The Doctor had arrived!

The still unknown unicorn turned quickly around and growled silently to the big, blue phonebox who suddenly had appeared next to the hole where the well had been once.

"Well, of course!" He mumbled. "You always have to show up in the end, don't you?" He added a bit louder.

In the moment of the confusion, Rainbow Dash had taken the advantage of the situation and rammed Flam in the side. Flam howled out in pain and surprise as he was sent flying a couple of meters before landing sliding on the ground. He looked around, stunned, before focusing on the blue pegasi mare, who protectively stood in front of the now freed Magenta, and he showed his teeth in an angry growl.

Rainbow answered by snorting, scraping her hoof in the ground and lowering her head, like an agitated bull.

"Thanks Rainbow..." Magenta coughed and stood up on shaky legs. Her throat were throbbing, but other than that, she felt fine.

"Don't mention it..." Rainbow answered and kept her eyes locked on Flam.

Flam managed to climb back up on his hooves and as soon as he got his balance back, he charged for the two annoying mares in front of him, with intention to hurt them as much as possible.

"No Flam!" Suddenly Flim appeared running out of nowhere and came to a sliding halt between his mad brother and the mares. Flam didn't have any choice but to stop as well.

"Move out of the way, you idiot!" Flam hissed, but Flim didn't move. "I SAID MOVE!"

Flim shook his head and took a more stable stance. "No Flam, listen to me for once! This isn't you! You wouldn't hurt anyone willingly! Sure, you've always been a really bad apple, we both have! But we've never hurt anyone!" Flim was begging to his older brother, but he didn't seem to listen.

"Are you deaf? MOVE!" Flam repeated himself and lowered his head.

"I am NOT going to move so you better stop telling me to! As I said: this isn't you, Flam! This isn't my brother! That... freak! He has changed you! You weren't like this before we met that guy!" Flim said.

Flam moaned in annoyance. "I have always been like this, twat!"

"No, you haven't! At least not to me! Remember when we got our cutiemarks? Back when we used to work on that apple orchard in Manehattan?"

"Why in all of Equestria are you bringing that up now?"

"Because back then, you weren't all angry and aggressive all the time! And you would never hurt anypony!" Flim raised his voice. "Back then, you were my brother, NOT the monster like you are now!"
Flam scoffed. "Just get out of the way, Flim..."

"You were always there to pull me into trouble. But on the other hoof, you were also there to pull me out of it again..." Flim tried to establish eyecontact with his brother. "What did this guy do to you?"

Then Flam snapped. "THATS ENOUGH! GET THE BUCK OUTTA MY WAY OR CRUSH YOU LIKE AN APPLE!" He shouted loud enough for the echo to reach Ponyville. His mustache and mane had gotten all frilly and his pupils got smaller, which gave him a pretty much insane look. Flim swallowed nervously, knowing that his brother would probably keep that promise. But he didn't move.

Without a word, Flam lowered his head and were just about to charge towards his brother and the two mares he was protecting, when the creaking of a door that opened pierced the tense silence. Everypony turned their head to the blue box. One of its doors was wide open and The Doctor stood in the doorway. He wore a green tie that was slightly loose and his mane looked like it hadn't been brushed for ages. His blue eyes met the blue unicorns black.

"I've sort of been expecting you. However you are rather early, you know" the blue unicorn said with a slightly annoyed tone.

"I wouldn't do this if I were you, Master! It mustn't reach the surface, and you know why!" The Doctor said to the unicorn, apparently known as Master?

"Oh, so you're here to stop me? How cliche, the good Doctor always comes to the rescue in the end" The Master said and one of his eyes twitched again. "But you also know about its power! And with that power, we could do anything! Even bring our people back!" His black eyes got a sudden twinkle. "I would give anything to see our world come back to life and its former glory! And with this machine, we could do it!" The Doctor however, didn't seem just as excited.

"At the cost of another world, yes!"

"WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOIN' ON HERE?" Big Macintosh' loud, angry voice interrupted the Doctor and Master. They both turned to him. "What power? What is buried here? Who are you ponies? What are you talking about?" He asked, sounding calmer but still inpatient.

"Yeah! Ya better tell us now, misters! What's goin' on?" Applejack added and frowned.

Master snickered. "That's right, Doctor. Why don't you tell them? You've always loved spoiling surprises!"

"Nothing, you didn't sign the paper did you?" The Doctor asked Applejack and tried to avoid the question.

"No" Applejack said even more impatiently. "But if there's nothing here, then get the BUCK off our property!"

"No no, you misunderstood! What my dear friend here was trying to say was that it's no use trying to explain it to ponies like you." The Master quickly said and whipped his tail. "No offense, but you ponies probably wouldn't understand!"

"Try us!" Big Mac snorted.

"I've got a better idea! Why don't you finish that dandy signature of your, AJ? Then we'll finally get this bloody mess over with!" The Master said and scratched the corner of his eye when it began to twitch again. "Bloody hell... Not again" He mumbled.

"DON'T do it! That paper is called 'A Devils Deal'! You haven't read the fine print, haven't you?" The Doctor quickly said. While Applejack squinted her eyes to properly read the small text, the Doctor continued to explain what a "Devils Deal" was. Meanwhile, Master didn't move a muscle.

"A Devils Deal is a kind of a contract, but the Devils Deals were written to bind the contractor as a slave to the dealer. Let me explain that further: Whatever the deal is made for, in this case selling a farm for a buckload of money, the seller signs this contract as a sort of receipt. Th seller gets their money, are finally able to rebuild a bigger and better farm somewhere else, when the buyer, aka dealer, says so. Until he is willing to let the seller go, they are bound to do his bidding for up to ten years." He turned to Master with a disgusted look. "I am actually surprised that you have sunk this low, Master. Too lazy to dig up the bloody machine yourself?" Master didn't answer that.

Applejack grew pale as she heard what the Doctor said and what she read. Big Macintosh started grinding his teeth in anger. He got up from the wheelchair on his shaky legs and pointed to Flim, Flam and Master.

"This.. Is the last time... We'll say this..." He said, struggling with both speaking and standing up straight at the same time. "Get the hoof away from our farm NOW!"

"Yeah! Do as they say already!" Pinkie Pie inclined, sick and tired of being in the background and not do anything. "Applejack aren't willing to sell the farm now so make like a tree and leaf!"

"Yes! You are nothing but thieves and ruffians!" Rarity said and angrily shook her head. "This is so... So...!" She was to angry to find the word she was searching for.

"Uncool!" Rainbow Dash decided.

Rarity lifted an eyebrow. "Yes Rainbow, maybe not the exact word I was searching for, but it will do. This is so very uncool!"

"And if you don't leave our friends farm now, then we'll just have to help you!" Twilight Sparkle said and her horn started to glow. Fluttershy didn't say anything, only nodded in agreement with her friends.

Master shook his head when he saw all the ponies he had to go up against. Normally, judging by the number, this was nothing compared with the clashes he has had in the past. But he knew that six of these ponies were wielders of the Elements of Harmony. A rather strong and mighty force he knew he was going to have a hard time to fight off. Even if one of them were disabled.

Not to mention that The Doctor would most likely interfere.

"How troublesome..." He sighed. "I was hoping that these negotiations were going to proceed without any need for violence. It seems like I am mistaken though..." He closed his eyes and went silent.

"You don't have to do it." The Doctor said, taking one step closer.

"It's a pity you still fail to see the big picture here, my friend..." Master said and opened his eyes again. "But I need the Golem of Gallihay, and if it means that I will have fight every single pony in Equestria to get it..." His horn also started to glow, however his were giving of an odd, black glister. He snickered and turned to the other ponies. "Then with the TARDIE as my witness, I'll do it!" He almost shouted out. "I'll bring back the proud Time Ponies, the Gallihayans will rise like the phoenix from it's ashes! And I won't let ANYPONY stand in my way! Not even you, Doctor! HAHAHAHA" He laughed and his eye twitched once again.

Stay tuned for the next, and final, chapter of Sweet Apple Mystery :D! Sorry this one was a bit late, but I had like, three days to write it xD! Not exactly much time for a busy bee like me...

Anyway, you guys better be prepared for the action-filled end, I hope it will turn out just as epic as I imagined it to be :D!

Delilah OUT!
