There Will Be Apples
Chapter 16: Chapter Final: The End of Two Dynasties
Previous ChapterApplejack was furious by this last encounter. She stormed through her mansion, staggering into the bowling alley, a wide room complete with a bar. She drowned herself in all the alcohol and passed out drunk in the middle of the bowling alley. A servant came to her and tried very hard to wake her up, telling she had a visitor. A figure came to Applejack and told the servant to not worry. The figure leaned down to Applejack and was trying to wake her up by yelling the mansion was on fire. Applejack nodded awake and saw Twilight, flamboyantly dressed, leaning next to her, accompanied by 2 male companions. Twilight looked to them and said, "If you could leave us....please...." and the servant took them upstairs. Twilight looked down to Applejack and said, "...It's me....". Applejack sat up, blinking wildly, and said, "Uhhh.... Yes... It is..." and stood up. Twilight walked around in the bowling alley and said, "Wow. Your home is a miracle Applejack. A blessing.". Applejack said nothing, looking at Twilight, convinced this was not a dream. Twilight told her, "I've been traveling Applejack. Spreading her word far and wide. So much travel. I've even been working in this new thing called radio! So much has been happening... but to be hear and see you well, alive, brings me great pleasure... Oh, my Sister Applejack! Such old friends... Such old times...." and hugged her. She settled down and said, "Ahhhh. Things go up, things go down, but at least Her Spirit, is always around..." and sighed, "We've had some serious ups and downs, huh?". Applejack asked if Twilight was down. Twilight said, "No, no... But I come with sad news. Remember Bandy...? He's passed on...to Her..." she prayed to herself and continued, "99 years. He had a grandson. William. Remember him...?". Applejack was not interested in Twilight and was just drinking. Twilight said, "Well, William is one of the finest members we have had... He's strong and fit ad very charismatic. He's interested in being in the movies! He's very good looking and I do think he will have success...". Applejack, not in the conversation, just said, "Wonderful...". Twilight noticed she was not interested and proceeded to business. She said, "Applejack...I came here to ask if you would like to do business with the Church of the Third Revelation in drilling in the one lot you had not drilled in, the Bandy tract. That's ONE THOUSAND ACRES! Come on Applejack!". Applejack looked surprised and said, "I'd be happy to...". Twilight was stunned and replied, "You would?! I mean, of course... Wonderful.". Applejack said, "Now wait a second. There is ONE condition...". Twilight said, "Alright. I will accept it...". Applejack grinned and came closer to Twilight, who sat herself down. She said, "I want you to say that you are a false prophet, and Celestia is a superstition.....". Twilight was confused. She nervously laughed and said, "...But that's a lie.... I can't say it. You've met her! Remember....? She is not with us anymore, but she spiritually lives on....".
There was long silence until Twilight said, "When will we drill...?". Applejack said, "Right away.". Twilight declared, "I'd like a one thousand bit signing bonus plus the five you owed me, with interest....". Applejack said that was only fair. Twilight sighed and said quietly, "....I am a false prophet, Celestia is a superstition. If that's what you believe, I will say it Applejack....". Applejack snapped back, "Say it like ya mean it...". Twilight was uncomfortable. "Applejack...please..." she cried. Applejack said, "Say it like it's yer sermon...". Twilight said, "But....this is foolish...". Applejack glared and said, "Jus' say the damn words...". Twilight sighed and called out, "I am a FALSE prophet! CELESTIA is a superstition...".
"...Again..."
Twilight stood up, "I....AM a FALSE PROPHET! CELESTIA is a SUPERSTITION!"
"Louder!"
"I am A false PROPHET! CELESTIA IS a SUPERSTITION!"
"Come on Twi. This whole room is yer congregation. Yer followers. SAY IT!"
Twilight eyed Applejack furiously, "I AM A FALSE PROPHET! CELESTIA IS A SUPERSTITION!!!!" and fell down onto the floor, ashamed and exhausted. Applejack chuckled and said, "Those areas already been drilled...". Twilight stared is disbelief, "Wh-wh-whaat....?". Applejack repeated. Twilight refused to believe. She said, "No... That's not possible....". Applejack was in front of Twilight's face and said, "It's called drainage, Twi. I own everythin' 'round it, so I get everythin' UNDERNEATH it.". Twilight reminded her there are no oil derricks on the property and asked if she understood. "Oh, I understand..." said Applejack, "Do you? I drink yer water, Twilight. I drink it up. Everyday, I drink it up. I drink the blood of the lamb...". Twilight began to sob uncontrollably. She cried, "Oh Applejack! PLEASE! I'm in desperate times! I need a friend....the walls are closing in on me.... I'VE SINNED! I NEED HELP! I. AM. A. SINNER! I've let the Devil grab hold of me in ways I never imagined! I'm so full of sin....". Applejack grinned and said, "Celestia tests us. Challenges us, RIGHT?". Twilight shouted, "YES SHE DOES! YES SHE DOES! AND YET SHE FAILED TO ALERT ME OF THE ECONOMY CRASH WE ALL HAVE TO SUFFER! I MUST HAVE THIS!", she began to control her sobbing and said, "I must...have this... My investments have-oh Applejack. I won't bore you...but I-" until she lost control and screamed, "IF I COULD CELESTIA'S HAND FOR HELP I WOULD! SHE DOES THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME! THESE MYSTERIES SHE PRESENTS AND WHILE WE WAIT, WHILE WE WAIT..... Wait for her word..... Oh Applejack... I must be losing my mind...." and cried silently. Applejack was centimeters away from Twilight's face, grinning maniacally, and said, "Yer not the chosen one Twi... T'was Shining that was chosen... He found me and told me 'bout the land.... You are a fraud...." and began poking her. Twilight looked up and said, "Wh-wh-what are you talking about Applejack...? Don't say this...to me. Please Applejack...". Applejack said, "I did what Shining couldn't do. I broke ya, and I beat ya. He found me! And he told me where it was...".
"Don't tell me these thin-"
"Jus' listen, listen! I payed ten thousand bits bits in hoof, to tell me where I could find it... HE'S the prophet!"
Twilight began sobbing again. Applejack grabbed her and smacked her across her face. "STOP CRYIN' YA SNIVELING PLOT!," she cried, "STOP CRYIN'! Yer just an afterbirth Twilight. Slithered out of the womb... Where were ya, while Shining Armor was suckling at yer mothers teet...? Ye have nothing...NOTHING! YOU LOST! YER AN IDIOT! YER A FAILURE!" and smacked her again. Twilight was begging, "Please, if you just accept this deal on the Ban-" but Applejack was furious. All the hatred she had been storing against everypony exploded in a terrific tsunami of emotion. She exclaimed at the top of her lungs, "DRAIIINAGE!!! DRAIINAGE, Twilight Sparkle you filly!!! Here, If you have a Cupcake... and I have a cupcake... and I have a hoof," she punched Twilight in the face, "There it is, thats the hoof see.... Watch it..." as she began trotting back with her hoof in the air, "And my hoof, REACHES... Acr-oooooooo-ss the room" and charged at Twilight, "And starts to eat your cupcake...I. EAT. YOUR. CUPCAKE!!! NOMNOMNOM!!! I EAT IT UP!!!!" and began poking Twilight very hard over and over again. Twilight's face was red from crying and screaming. She begged at the top of her lungs, "DON'T BULLY ME APPLEJACK! PLEASE! MY FAITH HAS BEEN LOST! I NEED HELP! I NEED A-" until Applejack grabbed her and threw her on the ground violently. She pinned her down and savagely ripped her horn off of her head. Twilight was paralyzed in immense pain and began hollering. Applejack exclaimed, "AHHHHGG!! Did ya think yer spells and magic and yer superstition would help you Twilight?! WHERE IS CELESTIA NOW!?" and threw the horn at her. Twilight staggering, got up. They lost their minds. Applejack was charging after Twilight hollering and screaming, while Twilight panicked and screamed hysterically, kicking and punching the air. Applejack screamed, "I TOOK EVERYTHIN' FROM YOU! YA THINK YER SAVED NOW?! CELESTIA DOES NOT SAVE REJECTS! I AM YER LORD. BOW TO MEE! YER DONE FOR! YER A WORM!". Twilight was screaming and hid behind the bowling alley, where a wall of pins guarded her. Applejack threw bowling balls at her, crushing Twilight's front right hoof. Applejack stood in front of the pins and began bucking them towards Twilight while Twilight cowered and pleaded for her life. Applejack hollered, "I AM THE THIRD REVELATION! I TOLD YA I WOULD EAT YE UP! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!". she hit Twilight in the face and jumped over the barrier to her. Twilight limped on the floor and was begging, "REMEMBER APPLEJACK?! REMEMBER OUR PASTS?! WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?! WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?!" and lunged at Applejack. She missed and Applejack bit her hind leg and threw her across the room. Twilight was crawling cuts and bruises all over her, looking for a place to hide. Applejack ran to her and cried, "HOW DARE YA COME INTO MY HOUSE?!" and with all the power in her body, brought her hoof onto Twilight's back. It snapped and Twilight buckled to the ground moaning silently. Applejack, was eyeing her, her face blood red, sweat pouring from her face. She stood gleaming at her with eyes of flame. She brought her hoof up again and brought it down onto Twilight's head, popping it like a bubble. She began repeatedly beating the carcass until Twilight was just a horrible pile of blood and bone.
Applejack grabbed what was left of Twilight's body and threw it into the bowling pins, leaving a long blood streak across the alley. She slumped to the floor, panting and covered with blood. Mrs. Rose and the rest of Applejack's associates on the second floor came into the alley slowly. They all stood around the room, paralyzed by the horrific scene, unable to comprehend the situation. Applejack heard them. She turned around slowly, maliciously, coldly, and unfeelingly. She eyed them and said, "I'm finished..."
