(Sweet Apple Acres)

“Alright, that should do it.” Amy said as she closed the hood to the tracker she was working on. “Try giving it another go.” Applejack nodded as she turn the keys to the tracker. To her surprise, the engine to the machine started to run smoothly like it was brand new.

“I’m still surprise on how you’re able to fix stuff like this. How long have you been doing this?”

“Well I have been tinkering with a few stuff like this back home. So I would say about a few months or so.”

“And you haven’t gotten hired for your talent?”

“Kinda hard to get a job without a degree for it. Not to mention I kinda got taken from my home to this peaceful place. Which I’m not complaining or anything.” The Blazing Heart said as she was starting to make her way to a water pump.

“You’re saying like you got nothing left back home.”

“More or less really. Other than the Sandy, Cindy, and a few friends, I pretty much got nothing left back home.”

“...Do you...want to talk about it Sugarcube?”

“...Later...much, much later.”

“Fair enough, I won’t force you to talk about. Just so you know I’m here if you want to talk about it.”

“Thanks for the offer AJ. So what’s is up with the watering pump?”

“The thing that connects the handle to the pump isn’t pushing down for some reason.”

“Hm, I’ll have to take it apart so I can see what’s the problem with it.” Amy said as she was about to take the handle apart, only for her to pause midway from the sound of broken glass coming from behind her and Applejack. “Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

“It sounded like glass being shattered into pieces.”

“Consarnit, I told Applebloom not to go crusading around the farm. Especially what happen last time.”

“I doubt that’s the case, but I wouldn’t be surprise seeing how they are the Cutie Mark Crusader.” said a mysterious voice, causing Amy and Applejack to look around to find where the voice came from. Seconds later the sound of glass breaking appeared behind them as they looked behind themselves to see a giant crack appear out of nowhere. Out of the crack came a boy wearing a purple and black cybernetic suit with six mirror like drones around him.

“But let’s face it. They are kids after all. They do tend to do stupid things when left alone for too long.”

“....Care to explain who you are partner?” Applejack asked as she slowly reach for her gun in her holster.

“Right, alternate universe. Allow me to introduce myself.” The esper said as he slowly moved out of the void. “My name is Eric Der Vogelweid. It’s a pleasure to meet some fine young ladies like yourselves. I must say it’s very interesting to find another Amy Anderson in a the multiverse.”

“Wait, how do you know who I am. And what do you mean there’s another me in the multiverse?” Amy asked as she glared at the esper.

“I would tell you about that, but you’ll be dead before I can answer your sad little question.”

“You got about five seconds to leave before I fill your flank with lead.” Applejack said as she pulled out her gun and aimed it at Eric’s head.

“Now, now, country bumpkin. I doubt you could hurt me with that.”

“He’s right. Diabolic Esper can control time and space, so hitting him won’t do us any good.” Amy said as her right hand began to glow red. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t try to hurt him.”

“You think you can beat me? If your alternate self couldn’t beat me, what makes you think you can?”

“You’re planning on trying to kill me for no reason whatsoever. Why wouldn’t I try to fight back against someone that’s planning on killing me?”

“I’ll say this, you’re a lot different than your other self. But you still have that annoying blazing attitude.” Eric said as he sighed in disappointment. “Well I might as well indulge your little fantasy in thinking you can beat me. Might as well take this fight someplace more familiar.” The Esper said as he snapped his fingers, teleporting him, Amy, and Applejack onto the friendship express.

“What the, how the hay did we get onto the friendship express?” Applejack asked as she tried to keep her balance onto the moving train.

“Another trait of his class. He’s able to move things or beings from one place to another depending.” Amy said as she summoned her claymore into her hands. “The moment you see an opening, you shoot him Applejack.”

“Oh aren’t we the confident one. Let’s see how good you are compare to your counterpart.” Eric said as his hands begin to charge up with temporal energy. “Void Impact!!” he yelled, generating a mini subspace that was suppose to hit them both, but only hit Amy instead. With quick reflexes, Amy activated Iron Body- Strong at the last second to reduce the damage she was dealt with. “Oh, not bad. You’re quicker than Nightmare Moon’s soldiers.”

“Wait, what do you mean by that?” Amy asked. “How do you know about Nightmare Moon’s soldiers?”

“Well I was the one that had her attack Ponyville. Had to lure you out some how, so why not have her attack the citizens of that dead beat town.”

“Oh I am going to buck your face in for endangering my home and friends!” Applejack yelled as she fired a bullet at Eric’s head, only for it to bounce off one of his dynamos.

“You’re gonna need a better weapon if you’re going to pierce through my defenses.”

“Like this!? Burn! Sword of Red Lotus!” The Blazing Heart yelled as she swung her sword at Eric, only for him to block it with one Dynamo drone.

“Really? That’s how strong you are? Shame, I thought I had to use more than just one of my drones to block your attack.” Amy quickly lifted her sword again a brought it back down with more force, causing the esper to slightly back up a little. “A little better, but not enough power if you want to defeat me.” While Amy was busy slashing at Eric, Applejack placed her gun back into her holster as she charged at Eric getting ready to kick him from behind. As soon as she was close to the Diabolic Esper, he quickly grabbed her hoof and slammed her onto the roof of the friendship express. “Nice sneak attack, but did you really think I didn’t forget about you?” Moving his dynamos away from Amy, Eric quickly kicked Amy in the stomach causing the Blazing Heart to be sent flying back a few inches away. He then turned his attention at Applejack as he tossed her at Amy. Just as Amy quickly pulled herself up from the sudden kick to the stomach, The Blazing Heart quickly jolted up as she caught Applejack just in time.

“You okay?” She asked as Applejack nodded to her question.

“Y-Yeah, I’m alright.” She said, pulling herself up from off of Amy. “Didn’t expect him to be able to counter my sneak attack like that.”

“Let’s see how well you two are when it comes to this.” Snapping his fingers, Eric summoned six orbs around him as he fired them at the human and farmer pony. “Maximum Strike!!!”

“Eat this! Fire Wall!!!” She yelled as a wall of fire appeared in front of her and Applejack, causing the orb flying at them to collide and disappear.

“Nice trick, but you should know that I have a few tricks up my sleeve.” Eric said, snapping his fingers again as a portal appeared behind them. “You do know I can control time and space right. You think I wouldn’t be able to counter your firewall?” Snapping his fingers, the attack that Amy thought she taken care of appeared from out of it. Applejack quickly dodge out of the way while Amy parried away the oncoming attack. “How will you get out of this one heroes?”

“Any ideas on how to take him out Amy?” Applejack asked as she ducked her head at an oncoming orb head towards her.

“Can’t say that I have any.” Amy said as she pointed a finger at the orbs as a concentrated beam of fire blasted out of her finger and splitting the two of the orbs in two. “All we can do now is keep fighting until this train gets to wherever this train is heading off to, and get help from someone in the town.”

“You think we can last this long until then?”

“Not unless I do this.” Eric said as he fired his dynamos above Amy and Applejack. “Void Field!!!” He yelled as a dome like barrier appeared around them both, restraining them of their mobility.

“W-What in tarnation!? I can’t move!” Applejack yelled, struggling to break free of the Esper’s void field.

“Simple my country bumpkin.” The esper said as he appeared in front of Applejack. “Void Field periodically restrain you both in a rising developed of space. Which means you won’t be able to move while for a while.” Eric said as he then pointed to the remaining orbs around them. “Now let’s see how well you can handle an attack at point blank range.” With a snap of a finger, the remaining orbs bombarded at the two frozen hero as the esper simply walked away casually as he turned around to see his attack at work. As the smoke cloud began to disappear, it revealed both Amy and Applejack bruised up.

“Oh, you’re both still standing? I thought that would knock you both out at least, but I guess I was wrong.”

“You think something like that will bring us down?” Applejack said as she and Amy charged at Eric. Applejack came in with a left hook, but was soon counter with a jab to the face. Amy came in from the side with an uppercut, but was sooner blocked by one of Eric’s dynamo drones.

“Stupid dynamo drones.” Amy said as she back up away from Eric as she tries to attack him with her claymore. Eric simply used his dynamo drone to block her attack as he punched her in the stomach. While his fist was still near the Blazing Heart’s stomach, a blast of neutron energy erupted from his fist causing her to gasp in pain.

“Nice try, but I’m better.” Eric said as he fired another blast of neutron energy into Amy’s face, sending flying as she landed near the edge of the train cart they were on into unconsciousness. Applejack soon recovered from the jab to the face, only for Eric to appear in front of her with sinister grin on his face. “So, how does it feel to get your flank handed to you on a silver plate bumpkin?” Applejack quickly tried to sucker punch the esper, but missed as he teleported at the last second.

“Where the hay did that no good varmint go?” Applejack asked as she looked around to find where Eric teleported off to. “You can’t hide forever!”

“For a normal person yes, but you’re forgetting that I can control space.” Eric said as he appeared next to her and delivered a right hook. “See I’m still here, just in subspace where you can’t see or hit me.” He said as he delivered a left hook.Applejack tried to punch where he punched her, but the attack missed as she was greeted with kick from behind causing her to trip a bit forwards a bit.

“Show yourself coward!”

“If you insist.” Eric said as he appeared behind her with a glowing hand raised at her. “Space Crack!!” The Esper yelled as he generate a crack in space and unleashed a barrage of space force upon Applejack. The farm pony screamed in pain as she as she was sent off the train, only for her to be caught in Eric’s gravitational field and slammed down onto the metal roof of the train cart. The Diabolic Esper brought up the beaten up earth pony to assess the damage he done to her. “Even after getting hit at point blank range, you’re still conscious? Guess you earned the title of strongest pony in Ponyville.”

“W-Why?”

“Hm?”

“W-Why are you doing this?” Applejack asked, coughing up blood while still trying to stay conscious. “Why do you want to kill Amy? Why did you attack my home?”

“Because I’m evil, and it’s fun to kill those that are weaker than you.” He answered as he summoned his drones around Applejack.

During Eric’s little speech, Amy was beginning to regain consciousness as she saw Eric levitating Applejack in front of him with his dynamo drones aimed at her. The moment she saw that, Amy aimed a finger at Eric’s chest. Concentrating whatever energy she had felt within her, she fired a concentrated blast of fire towards the esper.

“It’s a shame that I have to kill you now. Any last words before I kill you Applecrap?” Before Eric could deliver the finishing blow, the esper felt a burning sensation coming from his chest as Amy’s fire blast shot through his chest. “Huh, I was expecting you to actually come at me from behind so I can counter attack you from stabbing me in the chest from behind...Guess I should’ve been more prepared next time we meet-.” The moment Eric turned around to see where Amy was, his eyes widen in surprise as she appeared in front of him in a red burning aura.

“Now feel the fire of burning justice! Blazing Dance!!!” Amy yelled as she slashed at the esper multiple times before delivering the finish blow, causing his body to be set on fire as it fell off the train. As the knight of annihilation aura disappeared, Amy rushed over to the injured earth pony.

“Applejack are you okay?” She asked as she got no response from her. “Dammit, three months of training with Sweetie Belle and I still got my ass handed to me.” She said as she reached into her bag and pulled out two full recovery bottle. Amy quickly open the cap to the bottle as she tried to force the liquid inside it down her throat. “Crap, not good. She’s too beat up to even swallow the potion down by herself. Come on Amy, think! There’s got to be a way to get this stuff down...her...throat.” Amy’s face turned bright red upon coming with an alternative way to help Applejack.

“I-I can’t do that to her! I mean maybe there’s a funnel inside this bag or something?” Amy said as she looked into her bag, only to pull out a note.

Dear Amy Anderson

If you see this letter, that means that I forgot to add a funnel to your bag that I gave you. Sorry about that, hope you didn’t need it for medical reasons like giving Applejack a potion or something.

From, your bestest Friend, E

“...I’m gonna enjoy punching E in the face once I figure out who E is.” After reading the letter, the Blazing Heart poured the liquid into her mouth as she pulled Applejack close to her. “Suck it up Amy, she’s your friend. I’m sure if she was in your position, she would do that same to you.” With that she pressed her lips onto Applejack’s lips and began to force the healing liquid down her throat. A light blue aura surrounded the farmer pony’s entire body as Amy continued to kiss Applejack. “Wow, she taste just like apples.” As the aura began to fade away, Applejack’s eyes began to open up. The moment Amy saw her eyes open, she quickly pulled away with a trail of saliva connecting to their mouths for a moment before disappearing.

“Um...Sugarcube...what were you doing?”

“W-Well, you see, the moment I regain consciousness. I saw Eric about to kill you, so I shot him in the chest killing him.”

“Okay...but I still don’t get what’s going with the whole you kissing me t-thing.” The mare said as he face blush red.

“....You were pretty much beat up so badly from one of Eric’s attacks.” Amy said as she placed a hand to her own head. “And...well seeing how you couldn’t swallow down the potion I had on me by yourself.”

“....No.”

“Yeah…”

“You mean that...you...and...like before when we met the first time…” Amy simply nodded as she looked away in embarrassment. “Oh dear Celestia.”

“I must say, that was a bit of a surprise from you Amy.” Eric said as he appeared above the duo.

“The hell? I shot you in the chest and set you on fire. How are you still alive?” Amy asked as she tried to stand up.

“Fuck you, that’s how.” Eric replied. “Anyway I’m by far impressed and a bit disappointed by how you are able to fight Amy. But I do have to say good job on unlocking that chivalry system. Must be because of your friend being endanger.”

“Bastard, who are you and why are you after me?”

“I could tell you, but that would ruin the surprise. But in due time my lovely tool, you’ll be very useful when the time comes. Until then, enjoy the train ride back to Ponyville. Especially when I left you a little present in there.”

“What do you mean by little present?”

“You see once you go in there. Oh and I would hurry if I were you. Your little sister Applebloom and her friends are in there.” Eric said as he soon vanished into thin air.

“Dammit, this day just gets weirder and weirder by the second.”
