My Little Pony: Changelings

Chapter 138 Nightmare Crisis (3)

Sweet Apple Orchard

A large number of Apple soldiers gathered here, ready for war. The story began last night.

After Larry and Jerome failed to win over the Stars, they turned their attention to Ponyville. They knew that the Element of Harmony could turn them back into good people, so they decided to capture one of the six ponies first to prevent them from forming a friendship spell.

"Larry, are you sure this is okay?"

"Shut up, you idiot. You called me Shadow-fearing. And, I am useful. Throw me down."

After hearing Larry's order, Jerome threw the stone in his hand towards the Sweet Apple Orchard. With the surge of magic above, the apples began to become restless. Seeing this scene, Larry began to laugh wildly.

"Yes, that's it, that's it. Let these apples scout the way for us, and then we take advantage of the chaos to capture a pony. By the time they realize what's happening, the nightmare will have already begun. Ahahaha~"

Larry took a look and prepared to descend into the nightmare fog without looking back. Jerome was stunned for a moment and then followed Larry away. However, just as they left, two little heads popped out of the barrel.

"What to do? Eye-catching Lulu."

"Looks like we're in trouble, sweet baby. The Cutie Mark Counting Plan has been cancelled. Let's go to the Castle of Friendship to ask the princess for help."

"What about Apple Bloom?"

"It's too late. So, you go wake them up and I'll go report to Princess Twilight Sparkle."

While the apple army hasn't reacted yet, the two ponies split up. Sweetie goes to find Apple Bloom, while Eye-Catching Lulu goes to the castle to seek support.

After Sweetheart Baby climbed up the house with great effort, he knocked on the window. At this time, Apple Lili also opened the window and spoke to Sweetheart Baby outside.

"Hey, wait, sweetie, you're going to wake up Applejack and the others."

"No, Apple Bloom, something happened, wake up Applejack and the others, outside, outside..."

"What's going on outside?"

Apple Lili pushed Sweetie Baby away, then stuck her head out of the window and was frightened by the dense apples.

"what!"

The sound was deafening, and suddenly the whole Sweet Apple Acres was brightly lit. Applejack ran over quickly and said to Apple Bloom in front of her.

"What happened? Apple Bloom?"

"Help, the apple is alive!"

After hearing this, Applejack took off the pot lid on her head, then walked towards Apple Bloom with a confused look on her face and looked out the window she was pointing at.

"What are you talking about? Lying is not a good thing, my space princess! What is going on outside?"

"Soldiers, we have been discovered, attack!"

Densely packed apples poured into the house, and Applejack and the others fought back, but there were too many apples and they were eventually defeated.

On the other side, Xingmu Lulu was knocking on the castle door desperately, and then Xingguang Yiyi came out rubbing her eyes.

"I'm coming."

After opening the door, Starlight Glimmer was knocked to the ground by Lulu before she could react.

"Little guy, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh no, where is Princess Twilight Sparkle?"

"She's gone to Canterlot. What do you want with her?"

"Apple Farm is in danger. Applejack can't hold on any longer."

"what!"

Hearing this and seeing Lulu's anxious face, Starlight Glimmer shook her head without further delay, sobered up a little, and ran towards Sweet Apple Acres.

When Starlight Glimmer arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, the sky had already brightened. Starlight Glimmer frowned at the surprisingly quiet Sweet Apple Acres in front of her, and then she directly broke into the warehouse. There were apple soldiers piled up in the room, and Applejack and the others were building a catapult.

"No, we are exposed."

"Catch her."

"What? Applejack, damn apples."

Starlight Glimmer looks at the captured Applejack and immediately attacks the apples with magic, but she is surprised to find that apples can absorb magic.

"Haha, your tricks are useless now, catch her now."

"Starlight Glimmer, run and find other ponies for help."

Starlight Glimmer looked at Applejack in confusion, then spoke to Applejack.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Then... lasers were seen flying around in the Sweet Apple Grove warehouse, and a bunch of apples ran out accompanied by the smell of burnt apples, with Starlight Glimmer chasing them. But what no one noticed was that Larry was hiding in the attic of the warehouse, watching the scene below with great interest.

"This is great, I think I found the right pony, look at her strength, she's a better Nightmare than Rarity..."

Ponyville is in chaos, with apples running everywhere and, of course, unicorns chasing after them. The apples hid everywhere, but Starlight Glimmer finally found them and restored them to their original state.

When they came, Xingmu Lulu had already told her that the apple was affected by the meteorite, so Xingguang Yiqi first checked the magic on the meteorite.

It was a wonderful magic, but Starlight Glimmer quickly figured out how to reverse the magic based on the magical fluctuations, and then restored the apples to their original state one by one.

The tiring time passed quickly. I don’t know how long I searched, but finally with the help of a green apple, the apples returned to their original state. Starlight Glimmer took the meteorite, put it aside, and then fell on the bed.

"Ha~ I'm exhausted today. I need to take a good rest."

Starlight Glimmer stretched and lay down. Just as she was taking a nap, a black smoke emanated from the meteorite and slowly enveloped the entire room.

Starlight Glimmer was very confused. Wasn't she in Ponyville? How did she end up in Peace Town? At this time, Twin Diamonds came over. When Starlight Glimmer saw them, she was about to say hello, but suddenly she found that Twin Diamonds' cute symbol was still a double equal sign.

"Double Diamond? What's with your cutie mark? Why is it still..."

"Starlight Glimmer, why are you still here? You're not welcome here."

"What? Wait, I've reformed."

"Haha, if you want to mend your ways, then give us our cutie marks back!"

Twilight Sparkle's voice came over. Starlight Glimmer was so scared that she stepped back again and again when she saw more and more villagers gathering in front of her. Suddenly, she bumped into something. Looking back, she found that it was the stone where she used to store her cutie marks, and it was full of cutie marks.

"What? No, I've already, wait, what's going on?"

Suddenly a voice came over, Starlight Glimmer turned around and looked at the pony in front of her in disbelief.

"Starlight Glimmer, I'm so disappointed in you."

"Wait, Riguangyaoyao, you..."

"Pumpkin, I brought you your guitar and you...wait, what is this? What did you do!"

"Dad, why are you here? I'm not, I'm not..."

As Starlight Glimmer is having a nightmare, Larry emerges from the smoke and laughs eerily.

"Join us, join us, forget the past, everything will be fine in the future..."
