"Onin welcomes you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... the usual boring salutations. She says it is good to see you again, Jak.”— Pecker, interpreting for Onin, Jak II

== At the orchard ==

This place is huge. How far till I reach the house!? Well at least it can't be worse than storming that Metal-head nest, It was disgusting. I can finally see the farm house in the distance.

I finally got here, yay. I knocked on the door. Only to be greeted by a tall muscular red stallion.

"You must be Macintosh, AppleJacks older brother?" i asked him. I ain't calling him Big Mac, sounds stupid.

"Eyup and who might you be stranger?" he asked me.

"Names Jak. I'm looking for AJ she said she had a job for me here." I told him.

"She's over there at the barn." he said pointing at the barn. Ugh more walking great.

"Thanks" i said as I started walking again. I can't feel mah LEGS!! Oh wait there they are.

I finally arrived at my destination and knocked on the door. All i heard was a familiar bug noise on the other side.

"Get yah varmits!" shouted AJ inside the barn. I made a mad dash to bash open the door with loud bang. What i saw shocked me. It was Metal-Stingers, 6 of them to be exact. I looked over to where AJ is at and saw that she was using broom to fend them off. I took out my Morph-Gun and changed it to the blaster rifle. I shot 6 six times and no misses.

"Thanks Jak but don't you think killing them is to far!?" she yeld at me. I knew thats how she would react.

"Because they would've done the same. One sting from them and you're a goner." I said as I picked up the metal skulls off the floor.

"You seem to know what they are, care to enlighten me on what they are?" she said while putting away the broom.

"Metal-heads but those were just Metal-Stingers. Metal-heads use the as scouts meaning something is comi-" I was interrupted by a fucking Metal-pede.

(listen to the ' Ships of Legends' from AC4)

"METAL-PEDE, AJ RUN!!" I yelled in alarm. What the fuck!? I made sure I killed them all!. Fuck it, it's killing time.

The Metal-pede took notice of me and started firing its lasers. 'I guess they still hold a grudge' i thought as I dodged the lasers. I took in my Dark eco form and summoned the tendrils. I pulled out my Scatter-Gun and infused it with Dark Eco.

After that i started firing my newly modified Scatter gun at it. It was dizzy do to the blast so I changed it to the Plasmite RPG and fired some grenades at it cousing some of its armor to fall off. It roared in pain and dug underground.

I ran outside and saw it resurface near AJ. 'Oh fuck no you Son of a Bitch' I thought as I used my tendrils as a slingshot and shot off with the speed of a bullet. I made impact with the Metal head, piercing it's exposed flesh leaving a large hole where i came from.  I looked back at it to see it fall dead at the floor. I walked to it's head and ripped off his Metal-skull. 'Great now I need a looong shower to get this goop off' I tought as I took a look at myself.

(stop the music)

I made my way to AJ while changing back to normal. She looks like she's traumatized by the Metal-pede.

"AppleJack! You Okay!?" I said as I took a look for any injuries, luckily she had none.

"W-w-what was t-that!?" she stuttered out.

"That was a Metal-pede they're basically giant centipedes found the Wasteland or as you now know it as the Badlands." I told her as I helped her up.

"Ya mean there's more of them out there!?" She yelled in realization.

"I thinks so, I made sure I got rid of them a long time ago after the Metal-head wars were done." I said to her. We made our way to the farm house and was greeted by a worried stallion.

"AJ what happend to the barn!?" Mac yelled out. Damn son he gots a pair of iron lungs!

"She was attacked by some things I thought were gone for good." I told him. I took a look back at the barn and looked like shit. "I'll help out with the repairs to the barn." I said to the Apple siblings as I made my way home. I'll inform my daughters about the Metal-heads later.

I made my way home but stop when I felt a power surge located at the Everfree castle. So here I am on my way to the old castle ruins. When I finally made it, I felt like I wasn't alone.

I made my way to the tower Twilight got the elements. What I found whas a dark midnight blue alicorn filly on the floor with her head buried in her hands crying. Next Chapter: A new addition to the Family Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 60 Minutes
