"but let's add a little twist, shall we?" DJ asked. "If you defeat me- which is not gonna happen- you keep Sweet Apple Acres."

"And if you were to win?" Applejack asked.

"The whole far is mine and you'll all have to move out!" DJ cackled.

"That isn't fair!" Light barked. "You can't just do that!"

"Oh, I can't?" DJ asked. He teleported to Light's side and with a snap of his fingers a dagger appeared at his throat. "Who's to say I can't just kill you now, Light Dash?"

"No!" Strike thundered. He used his new-found super speed and darted forward, tackling Light to the ground, right as the dagger was thrusted forward... Right into Strike's side! "Ahhh!" Strike cried out as he fell to the floor.

"Strike!!" Light cried, sprinting to his twin's side. "Bro?"

"Light, look out!" Rainbow barked. Light looked up and caught DJ's wrist and threw him back.

"No one hurts my family! No one dares hurt my friends!" Light roared in anger. "Mess with the bull, you get the horns!"

Diego smirked as he lunged forward and delivered a strong left hook to the side of DJ's face. "Looks like you're outnumbered, DJ." He grinned. "Show's over."

DJ snarled as he stood up. "This isn't over! I will take Sweet Apple Acres! Whether you like it or not!" He barked before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"D-did we win?" Strike asked.

"We sure did, Strike." Honey smiled. "We sure beat the heck outta him."

"That's great, guys." Strike commented. "So, what happens now?"

"Now," Soarin stated. "We get you patched up and then we can celebrate."

Rainbow nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me. We could try your powers out when we get to the farm."

"And I can make you guys some geodes." Fire smirked. "Still, we gotta work on channelling your powers."

"Great idea." Thunderlane replied. "but let's hope that DJ doesn't come back anytime soon."

"oh, he won't. Not for a while though." Applejack sighed. "The last time he came back for round 2, he ended up destroying half the orchard. It took Mac an' Ah three months ta grow all them trees again."

Braeburn nudged Applejack, smirking. "Ah thought you said it took the two of ya a week ta grow 'em?" He pondered.

Applejack playfully shoved him over. "Stop it, you." She chuckled. "It took us a good three months ta do it. We lost half a grand that year base we didn't have enough apples fer cider."

Berry giggled at her adopted parents, who she and Diego had known since they were five. She turned to Diego and giggled.

Spyro took the opportunity to trip Aquamarine. "Hey! Mom, Spyro tripped me!" Aqua complained.

"If you wanna complain, I will happily give you a complaint form to fill out, regarding your unhappiness towards your own twin brother." Spyro smirked.

"Oh, will you pipe down, you uncooth ruffian!" Aquamarine snarled.

Rarity frowned at Aqua. "Aquamarine! That is enough." She warned.

"Same to you, Spyro." Thunderlane added. "You two need to learn to respect each other."

Spyro and Aquamarine looked down in shame. Their parents were right, they call each other names and always fight. But it's Spyro's fault! thought Aquamarine. No offense to Father, but Spyro is an uncooth ruffian who needs to learn his place!

Everything is Aquamarine's fault! Spyro thought in disgust. No offense or anything towards Mother, but Aquamarine is a royal snob and pain in the backside. She needs to learn her place!
