"Thanks Applejack," Twilight said as her friend helped remove some of the apple slime from her mane. Suddenly, Cloudy let out a shout, something about the roots moving. and then the ground began shaking. "What's going on?" she said still in a half daze after being slammed against the other tree. She then saw the roots moving towards her and Applejack and quickly pushed the earth pony out of the way. She saw the roots threatening to stab Cloudy and blasted then with her magic. She knew this would only stun the roots. "I'm trying to think of a spell to stop this, Cloudy. Think Twilight think. Ooohh now's not a time to crack under pressure."

Summer Wind never had a chance to set the apple free from it's leafy harbor. The oversized fruit eploded, fluid coating the poor pegasus and forcing him to come back towards the earth to join the two companions, more apples raining to the ground in a deluge of rotting flesh and goo. Sage's eyes were everywhere taking in the sudden chaos as the apples suddenly poured down about them, trying to duck and dodge the slimy crop.
Lily scooted behind him, asking how the pegasus fared. He could barely keep aloft with the gelatinous stuff glued to his wings, and he nodded in agreement. "Looks like keeping to the ground is the best option...WATCH OUT!" he cried as another apple stumbled nearby, and suddenly began to morph into a creature of nightmares. Some of the apples began to take on face, crumbling in on themselves into wicked little imps and rolling about on ground. What horrific devilry WAS this!? He didn't think even unicorns could create something so abominable, and the utter shock and revulsion plainly showed on his face. He couldn't take the time to be horrified, however, as one of those....THINGS...launched itself at Lilypad. Quickly he about faced and planted his hind hooves into the apple-beast, which promptly burst and covered him with yet more of the slick juice.
"Quick, the carts!" he shouted, motioning to the empty wheelbarrows nearby. He slipped and slid his way towards one in the hopes of using it for some crude shelter from the overhead tumult of falling apples, and the new threat of an apple army!

AppleJack only had a moment to view the oncoming assault when she felt air under her hooves, Clearly Twilight was panicking. She almost sent AJ flying! The vermilion female had all she could stand from whatever the hay this was and she wasn't about to stand there and watch it attack her friends. No something had to be done and without much thought, AJ Took it Upon herself to do so.
She had helped plant a great deal of this orchard, She raised the tree's like her own foals along with every little seeding planted in the winter wrap up. Now she had to take charge and save what little she had left of that hard work, before everything that her family held dear went up in smoke!
"Now's not tha' time for thinkin' Nows the time for Fightin'!" She called, Rearing up onto her back hooved before charging straight onto the attacking tendrils, head down to aid in the collision. She was not about to loose her friends to what ever this was, even if her own health was now at risk.
Several rotten apples crunched under her weight, seeming to explode out their disgusting Contents along the filly's path, covering the bottom of her once clean pelt. She didn't seem to notice though, no she was focused on her own assault.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Summer Wind replied to Lilypad as he examined his wings more closely. Normally a little preening would straighten his feathers right out, but he really didn't want to get that stuff in his mouth and his hooves were sporting too much of the goo to be any help in that regard. "Really gross, but otherwi- Sweet Celestial Feathers! What are those things?!" He cut himself off as he looked back over at the other two ponies, only to spot the fruit monstrosity jumping through the air, though its attack was thankfully thwarted by the quick reaction of the other stallion. He paused only for a moment to look around bewildered at the other metamorphosed apples before turning and following after Sagebrush. Putting some distance, and a few solid objects, between himself and whatever those things were definitely sounded like a good idea.

Lilypad gave a highpitched ‘Eeek’ as the apples started to thud heavily from the tree and landing on the ground. The mare was nervous, her tail flicking back and forth and she snorted out in frustration as she shifted in place, ears moving backwards. She swallowed, and took a step to the side, still behind Sagebrush but moving slightly towards Summer Wind. At least he was on the ground now and safer, sort of anyway. Lilypad snorted softly again, eyes wide with fright as she stepped around herself. “We should…”
She didn’t finish, the shrieks from the apples caused her to stop midways and turn looking at the apples against. The metamorphing they had done had left them into monsters unlike anything she had ever heard about or seen. She reared up in panic, whickering out surprised as the first launched itself towards her, attacking. Blind with panic, she hardly noticed that Sagebrush bucked and kicked it, while she ran in the opposite direction of the other two. She knew she should have turned back, she heard his voice, but she was too frightened to think straight.
