Howdy, partner!

What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses.

Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?

>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

~~~~~

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.

If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.

If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.

If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 113! Lets hope this apple isn't unlucky and take a bite!

You know, with all he set up and all he examined, I don't know if that will be a problem. He really did pick at her brain with this one.

>>25779711
While it is indeed a little sad, I don't blame him. The setup did a wonderful job examining her mental state, her past, how she feels now and why she feels that way, but it was pretty sad.

The only reason why the kick worked is because of it, but it was heartbreaking to get through.

Still, no doubt this shit is hype.

>>25779844
Like he said, the arc took a big turn early on, and it's been just twists and so much looking into AJ's brain and so many surprising things it's pretty much been the best her character has seen since thread 55 when she rode on a dinosaur to punch a nuke. Nothing that grandiose, I mean, I'm not saying she does any super badass feats, I just mean her character is really getting fleshed out.

There is... one little hiccup though.

>Spike
‘Twilight’

>H-Hey Twilight…

‘Spike! How are you? All better?’

>y-yeah

The dragon looked around cautiously, certain another canvas covered death trap lay in store.

>…no flying machine today? You…you just want to hang out?

He asked, his voice laden with hope.

‘PFT! Don’t be silly! We’re here for Science! Swallow this.’

She handed him a small grey sphere.

>What is it?

‘An antigravity device! See you swallow it, then you can manipulate it directly with your will. It should, in theory, modify the effects of gravity on your whole body, allowing you to utilize a kind of flight based on what direction gravity pulls on you from most strongly!’

>Huh. Ok then.

Taking the pill he swallowed it.

A beat passed. Then two.

>I don’t feel any different.

‘Try to focus. Clear your mind and start with something simple. Like…floating a few meters off the ground.’

>Ok…

The dragon closed his mind, and focused.

<HRK!>

Suddenly he shot into the air being dragged chest first into the sky.

‘Spike! No! You need to relax! Try and control it!’

>I <hrk> Don’t think I <hrk> ca-<BLARGHHHH!>

‘Oh gross!’

><BLLARGGHHHHH!>

‘Spike come back!’

><BLARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!>

It was to no avail as the dragon was dragged off toward the horizon, vomiting all the way.

***
Back in the lab, spike sat, wrapped in a towel, eye twitching.

‘So….that could have gone better..’

>I was halfway to yakyakistan before it finally came up.

‘Like I said, needs improvement.’

>When it came up I was also a few thousand feet in the air.

‘We got really close this time’

>I hit the ground face first. I can’t smell anything.

‘…Same time next week?’

>Sigh….yes.

I feel like some anon got a hold of a monkeys paw.

>Alright, Mister Paw, here's what I want. I want AJ to get some development. Real development! Like Chrysalis gets!

>And I want to see some cool magic too! Gimme some magic that's special to her!
*Finger closes*
>And... maybe not be a giant 20-30 post thing? Those take forever to come out. Yeah, just give me nice short ones.

hey guys, can some one give advice for a good story?
a finished one would be great
>>
>>25780184
Here?

Sorry, this is a continuous story, not a prompt thread. There isn't any one all-done story because it's all just continuation of the same universe with a wide variety of characters, arcs and situations. There's no one story all done that we can point to, save Pommel's Adventure(Was that ever pastebinned separately?) because the series is still going on.

If you're looking for a bunch of one shots funnies, the first pastebin link or the pictures here http://princess-aj.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Applejack_Wiki#How_it_all_started sum up the best at the start, and if you want then you can try to see some more in the pastebin.

But, like I said, there isn't one story to give you, this isn't a prompt thread. There's a ton that are technically 'done', but they keep going after that story finishes. Think DC or Marvel comics.
>>
I still got the pastebin keys laying around here, in case someone can pick up the slack...
>>
>>25780240
thanks anon, gonna start reading from the begining then
>>
>>25780275
Don't you guys just love it when we catch the attention of a New Anon? I love it!

>>25779984
Well, good thing that thing didn't literally turn off gravity, or he would be going 1000 miles an hour.

True story.

>>25780373
yeah....reality is not guaranteed with this series of shorts.

>Because it's a tree.
>Eventually it gets too much, and Applejack bucks it.
>That's right, she bucks the Tree of Harmony. She bucks it.
>And it drops an apple. A red, slightly off color, glowing apple.
>Before she can even process how crazy that is, someone speaks to her!
>"Where... are my... changelings.."
>It seems Chrysalis has found her.
>Despite her pleas and attempts to explain, Chrysalis nearly hits her, until Applejack says one particular thing
>"It's not that bad!" and with that, Chrysalis stops.
>She just stops, seemingly no longer caring. When asked why she's not angry, the Queen says she is still really angry, but it's not that bad so she shouldn't make a deal out of it.
>After some testing, Applejack puts together that the apples magic is to make anyone who hears her words believe them to be the absolute truth, even though the apple doesn't change reality itself. Anything she says, Chrysalis will just outright believe and never question.
>She discovers this by telling her that she's not the greatest Queen. Bit harsh.
>Instantly, Applejack's mind is going, and she says to herself that at last she can fix Equestria! She reasons that with this, she can make all of Ponyville, nay, all the world know the truth that the changelings just want peace, and they'll believe it. She even reasons she can make them believe pretty much anything, including telling the changelings that all they want is peace.

>>25780525
>But the Apple can only make you believe it, not change who you are, so Chrysalis snaps back into thinking of all the things she needs to do to become the greatest Queen, which Applejack shoots down every one with her truth apple. Despite this, she never stops.
>When Chrysalis finally asks her what she does need to do in order to be the best Queen, Applejack has to think about that, realizing all the good she can make Chrysalis do if she just focuses her. She ponders, and thinks, wondering just exactly how to make the Queen do what she wants.
>But when Chrysalis pushes her too far, she realizes that the thing she needs to do is make Chrysalis change, and the only way to do that is to stop her from having someone to run back to.
>She needs to get rid of her enabler.
>So, she tells Chrysalis if she wants to be the best Queen, she has to move out of the Crystal Empire.
>"Fuck you"
>It seems that the Apple stopped working, or something to that measure, as Chrysalis brushes off this 'truth'. Applejack stops paying attention to her, now focusing on how to make the Apple work again, and what it's limits might be.
>Chrysalis tries talking to her, but she won't answer. When she gets annoyed with this and reaches for the apple, Applejack snaps, desperate to keep anyone from taking her apple again.
>And by that, I mean she punches Chrysalis with everything she has.
>"That was very stupid."
>Things have gotten really crazy.

As always, if I missed anything, tell me!

"Oh, nothin', don't wanna talk about it."

>Applejack, if you can't talk about it with me, right now, there is literally nobody in the world you can talk about it with. What's up?

"...Spike's talkin' bout tryin' ta' get big again."

>Oh come on.

"Ah' know. But he thinks it'll help if Chitty goes nuts."

>Wow, I hope not. If he does, he's going to start training, and then she'll take it as a challenge, and before you know it everybody will be kung fu fighting.

"Last time he did his kicks were fast as lightning."

>Yeah, that was a little bit frightening.

"S'pecially cause of all that expert timing."

"From funky Chineigh town?"

You say that, but I'd bet you money some asshole like >>25782288 would use it as an excuse for the guard to decide Pommel isn't good enough to be captain and throw him out. His story was one of the few times non-teched up non-Princess ponies managed to actually do something aside from stuff like Dash's bit in the train fight.

Taking that away just for the sake of 'Chitania is superior AGAIN' is kind of obnoxious.

1, that guy is very obviously the "I'm super good at running off writers!" person, who is made of sad and woe.

2, that doesn't make any sense. They didn't know about that when they hired him on, they literally just did it because they thought he would be easy to push around(he was when he left). Where's the logic there?

Doesn't that make it more likely? At least if you type it, technology can tell if you're spelling it wrong. When you're writing it, you have to rely on your own knowledge and your editor to be competent, at least one of you has to be paying attention and pass second grade spelling.

You mean nc right? Ooco is out of canonical order. It is used for when you want to write a story In Cannon that is taking place at a different point on the timeline than the one we are currently viewing. So it actually happens. Usual to set things before certain major events during a different status quo period than whatever is current because what is current does not work for the story you want to tell.

NC is for when you just want to plop something out you think is funny but should not actually affect the story.

"Chrysalis"
~~~

It was an accident.

That was all it was, a simple accident, a simple mistake. She had panicked, she had acted without thinking, she hadn't been paying attention. She had reacted purely on the instinct that there was something reaching for the one hope she had of saving the world and fixing so many problems, and she had acted. It hadn't been malicious, it hadn't been an act of anger to her, it was a snap, nothing more.

That she had put so much into that blow spoke nothing of any feelings she might have towards the Queen, and instead solely towards the gravity of the situation. This said everything about how important this was, how much was on her shoulders, not that she hated the Queen, not that she felt anything that would drive her to do something like that.

Chrysalis would understand. She would understand the importance, even though she never let that weight settle. Even though she brushed off her own responsibilities like leaves on a toy she wished to play with. She would understand the basics, if nothing else. She would understand the fundamental needs that so many were relying on her, and she had to do whatever it took to save the day this time. They were counting on her to come through, and solve this mess with the changelings. And she could, and not only that, she could solve so many more problems, she could solve so many more things, a thousand things in Equestria that needed fixed could be solved in no time, with just a word, with just a speech. She knew her limits now, she knew the Apple was limited, it seemed. Sure, it had stopped working on the Queen, she had not been destroyed, or as she had hoped perhaps the changeling might even have a moment of clarity to realize the truth that she spoke, just like she strives to do always.

But no, either the Apple's power had reached it's limit, or she was simply too good at brushing off any truth, that even harmony magic was not powerful enough.

Still, no feelings of malice.

1/2
>>
>>25787430

She would understand that, she would accept that she had no feelings of anger really, it had been involuntary, a snap choice, she certainly understood those.

She had done enough of them, surely, she would understand.

This was Equestria's salvation, this was her changelings salvation, by stopping her she was only hurting herself. Even without the magic to make her know it to be true, she could still explain it. She would accept that it had been an accident, that she was doing this to save her changelings, and she would not be angry with her for the blow anymore.

She just needed to explain it.

When the pang in her chest eased enough that she could look at that anger, that she could tear her eyes away from the welt on the side of the Queen's face, the bruise that she herself had left with her strike, she could explain it.

"I don't know what was so important about this that was worth it..."

She could have, if only the Queen hadn't disappeared in flame.

"But I might as well find out."

She could have, if only Chrysalis hadn't appeared over her, and cast a green glow around her apple. Cast a spell to take away her gift, to take away her victory again. Just like every time before, Chrysalis was poised to steal away her win.

Like before, it hit her, and she reacted.

>GET AWAY FROM IT AH' SAID!

It was an accident, when she took another swing right at that Queen's frowning face. It had been just as involuntary now as it had been before, every bit as much, if not more.

She very much doubted it had been involuntary when Chrysalis ducked under the blow, and struck back with her own attack.

She doubted that it had been a mistake when the force sent her tumbling over and over, out from the cavern with the Tree.

She doubted it was a look of kindness that bore down on her, looking to that apple with a hungry eye.

She wanted her gift, her means to save the world, and she wanted to take it.

>You.. ain't... taking it!

The next one would not be a mistake.

>>25787566

>>25787443
You know the real best part about this?

I genuinely can't tell if this is just AJ being AJ, or if the Apple is influencing her ala the Orb. Her reasoning in all of her internal thoughts is sound, and seems in character. It's always about helping others, being there for them, and saving the world. The only time she ever mentions herself is when someone is breaking down her hard work, which in the show annoys her terrible. Well, it annoys everyone, but you know what I mean.

I genuinely have no idea if the Apple is making it hard for her to think straight, or if she's completely sane, but desperate.

>>25787771
Better yet!
The Apple makes her think her excuses are truth.

>Hmm… maybe you? Orrrr perhaps you? No, no, no, wait, I’m sorry, I’m forgetting about you, aren’t I? How long’s it been since you were used anyway?

“Screwloose?”

>Hush now, pervert, momma’s busy.

And indeed she was, rummaging through a worn leather satchel previously sealed with a rusted padlock.

“…Yeah, I noticed, very busy, but uh... busy with what?”

>Picking the best instrument for the task. Mmmm, maybe the 100mm with the serrated edge—always one of my personal favorites. But then again the 140mm is slenderer, perfect for quick in-out jabs… not to mention that grip is all kinds of sexy in the hoof.

A bead of nervous sweat dripped down the side of Twelve’s face when Screwloose picked up a scalpel with a hooked end that looked absolutely demented in its creation.

The fuck would a scalpel need a hooked end for?

He wished he hadn't wondered. The rather vivid depictions his mind tossed up as a possible answer only served to churn his stomach.

>Ah, Topsy! One of my very best.

She ‘tickled’ that particular scalpel underneath the curve.

>No nicks, always a glimmer in your eye, made separating tissue a breeze… Yes. You’ll do quite nicely.

“Do…? Do for what? Why does that need to do anything? For what reason?”

>Because… we have to celebrate. This is a joyous time!

“Riots, mistrust, indictments, flight of princesses, your ‘best friend’ in the castle… I think I missed the joy somewhere in there.”

>…what?

When Screwloose’s ears fell back and her tail grew limp, Twelve knew without a shadow of a doubt that he had fucked up something awful.

To date, he had never seen her looking so sincerely heartbroken since that time back at the hospital, when she feared he was leaving her.

But there she sat, fallen back on her haunches, deflated, looking at him with shimmering eyes.

So he did the only rational thing he could think of.

“OH SHIT I’M SORRY I’M SORRY WHATEVER IT IS I’M SORRY JUST FUCK STOP LOOKING LIKE THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER LOOK THAT I’D RATHER HAVE YOU SMILING ALL DEMENTED AND SHIT PLEASE I’M SORRY!

Which was to apologize profusely.

It didn’t work.

In fact, her bottom lip started to wibble.

Hell, she might as well have run him through with Topsy.

She sniffed, then slowly began to draw out a box. A plain white box that she lifelessly flipped open.

“…H-Happy Two Week Anniversary…?”

That was what was inscribed on top of a modest cake in icing as black as his chitin.

It took a minute, the longest minute of his life, but when it struck? It struck hard. So hard that he propelled himself forward, snatching the clown princess into a hug that left no space between them.

“I… I’m sorry—that was so stupid—to think you meant… but you didn’t… you were talking about us—about our anniversary… two weeks. Two weeks together here….”

When she snorted, it was watery, it calmed him, it was what he wanted to hear.

>Two weeks give or take a few days. Point is, we’re in the ballpark.

“…”

“…”

As much as I'm embarrassed to admit it, when she first showed up I was like "Oh damn it, can't we use someone besides Chrysalis?" But this far in, I'm actually struggling to think up someone who would fit this situation as good as Chrysalis would, thematically or character wise. I'm coming up blank, next best one would have been Chitania, but due to the mind-altering portion she doesn't fit nearly as perfectly.

This is the perfect storm of inversion with AJ being the one with the power over minds in the relationship.

>Oh, well... you don't have to know me out? You can just get it from me, it's not an issue. I'm more than happy to give you some.

{See, now I feel bad...}

>>25792525
'S been a while for her, in more than one sense. I fully expected to hear the 'Kirby inhales' sound effect
>>
>>25789553
I legitimately do not know why everyone keeps trying to make conversation with her.

Like, I figure it probably has something to do with this being a once in a lifetime thing, but still.
>>
>>25793012
Next time they see her has 45% minimum chance of being her trying to kill their ass. I would say it's once in a lifetime
>>
>>25793113
That. They are NEVER gonna get another chance like this, probably. With all the ling-fear, they figure this is going to be the last time they see her when she's not fucking their shit up, might as well get your petty niggles out of your system now.
>>
>>25793158
Speaking of which, I forget, were 13 and 32 on friendly terms last time they were together? I was gone a while so I don't know if something happened between the changelings setting out a d things going pear shaped but I have a vague memory of them being on neutral terms at the very least.
>>
>>25793188
Last I recall she didn't like him because she's still "Chrysalis is MUH QUEEN" mode, but I might be forgetting something.

I vaguely recall them talking about whats good for the hive.
>>
>>25793263
Damn, then nevermind, Pommel's still friends with worst ling yadda yadda
>>
>>25793263
She likes what he's doing but not him, last I remember. Because she still is starstruck with Chrysalis(To "Chitty is sad" degrees) and Chrysalis only makes that worse because she is genuinely nice to 13. Since 32 can't go eight sentences without insulting 42 or Chrysalis, she don't like him very much.

Fun fact, 13 still has a little plastic butterfly hairclip in her hair Chrysalis gave her post Chitty-arc.
>>
>>25793353
Actually, another question.

Would Pommel actually apologizing for falling into Chitty's gullet thus making 32 go bonkers help at all? I remember reading somewhere he blamed himself for that.

Give me something to work with here, please, I'm begging you.
>>
>>25793378
As far as her going easier on 32? Fraid not, since he was "HATE HATE HATE" since the start, and they all know that. He chewed her out in front of everyone at the Gala after all.

13 might like Pommel better for trying to take responsibility for that, though. All Pompom has to do to make buddies with her is show he cares about her hive in some way. If she thinks he genuinely does want to help, he gets brownie points no matter who he hangs out with.

If he says Chrysalis isn't so bad, she might even like him.
>>
>>25793378
>Give me something to work with here, please, I'm begging you.

As far assss? What? What are you hoping for here, it should be doable regardless.
>>
>>25793455
Pretty much everything in that scenario so far has been antagonistic, I just want to write something that isn't more argument fodder.
>>
>>25793590
Oh. Thats super easy, just have them joke about 29.

29 is loyal to the Queen as far as 13 knows, even if he does make her mad all the time, and he's 32's friend, but despite this neither Pommel or 13 have had any real interaction with him. They just know him as that really, really, really annoying motherfucker with a huge ego who talks funny. Neither would get antagonistic in that situation since they both at least respect that he is loyal/the only reason 32 is still alive, so the only argument would be what way they could make fun of his fake-ass accent. They might even bond over "Yeah, he's probably not the worst ling... but HOLY SHIT is he an annoying asshole." because neither have seen his 'good' side.

Don't even need to have a jarring segway, he's currently the topic of interest.

~~~~~~

>You ain't taking it.

It was like watching a rockslide.

An fitting description, considering her location next to the cliffside, at the bottom of the almost moat like ring surrounding the castle long forgotten. Much like a regular pony at the bottom of an unstable cliff, watching a rockslide come down towards them, she knew that there was nothing she could really do.

It was simply too much for them, too much coming down all at once, knowing that whatever they would do, they would be covered, broken, battered and have everything they hold taken from them. Applejack knew this, she knew that as far as power, the Queen outstripped her. While she was no slouch in the fighting department, she knew that the Queen could simply outmatch her. There was nothing, really, that could be done about the dark figure moving towards her, she knew it.

>GET AWAY AH SAID!

She was going to try anyway.

She bucked the nearest stone she could find, launching the thing almost as big as herself clear to the Queens face with the intent to knock her away. The changeling never even slowed, merely blasting the thing apart without a care.

"Okay, now I'm really interested."

>I'm tellin' you to get away!

Another, larger rock, bucked with all she had, fired like it had come out of a cannon. It's speed would have given even a rocket pause.

But not the changeling.

"Whatever could that thing do?"

>Get away!

She grabbed hold of the nearest root, yanking it with her teeth until she ripped it clear from the cliff face. She snapped her new weapon around, looping the vine almost as thick as her foreleg until it so resembled the rope she wielded on any other occasion. She lashed out, seeking to tie her limbs together, to bring her low that way.

It was merely consumed in flames in no time at all.

"Well, whatever it is... you clearly need to give it to me. You're acting a bit strange, Applejack."

Nothing was working.

>Get away!

1/3
>>
>>25798618

Desperate, she resorted to clumps of dirt, doing as little damage as one might expect from something like that. She turned to pebbles, to the tiny stones, and even turned to attempting to climb the side of the dirt wall when all of that failed.

A simple thin beam of green cut off her escape, much as she knew it could likely have cut off any other part of her had the Queen aimed it lower.

>Get away... it's mine!

She took a swing, a desperate, powerful swing, and hit nothing but air, far too easily dodged.

She could do nothing, as the Queen loomed over her.

"Applejack, give it over."

It was all crumbling, as much as if the walls of rock and dirt around her had collapsed. It was all coming down, the hopelessness, the knowledge she could never escape, could not defeat her if she tried. The powerlessness, the feeling of emptiness knowing that any strength she held would be useless. Even the magic of the Apple had left her, even that had been taken away. She had nothing left, no ace in the hole, no card left to play, no move left unused.

>No...

She was going to take it, again. Just as Rarity had taken her victory before, just as so many others had made her efforts nothing more than a waste of time before, she was about to have even this, even a gift from the most harmonious magic in all the world, if not the universe, ripped right from her hooves. She was about to lose everything, again, and there was nothing she could do about it.

>No... no..

She was small again, an earth pony against beings far beyond her power, again. Useless without her harmony magic, again. Just as she had been at the wedding, she was powerless in the face of the changeling. Just as she had been when she was marched in shame after her defeat, she was helpless as the Queen prepared to take everything from her, again.

"What is wrong with you? Give me the damn apple!"

Her hoof stamped down.

She could not.

She would not.

So, she did not.

She did not give.

She took.

2/3
>>
>>25798628

She pulled, with everything ringing in her skull, she pulled. Her head flew back as something within her throbbed, and ached, and screamed. She threw her head back as it felt hot, like she was balancing all the fire she still had inside atop it. With it, with that fire, she brought it to her.

"Give me the-"

Words could come out no longer, for they had been crushed.

All that remained was a breathless wheeze as a stone the size of the Queen's entire midsection rose up from the ground, bursting up like a flower breaking through snow, and struck her right in the segmented rings of green surrounding her thick barrel of a chest.

The wind, and for just a second the fight, had been taken from the Queen.

It had not been taken from her.

She pulled no longer, she brought it up no longer. She wanted it, no longer.

She pushed.

The Queen let out a strangled yelp as she was rocketed backwards, the boulder newly formed flying with her as it sent the taller body clear back, to the wall just beside the entrance to the tree of harmony, and slammed her against it. Chrysalis crumbled, her breath taken from her in the shock. No such breath had been taken from herself.

>Ah' said...

She stamped her hoof again, twin spires of rock rising up to meet the unspoken call on either side of her. Her head still burned, her mind still screamed, but she could pay attention to none of it. For all the sake of the world, there was only herself, and the changeling Queen who would take everything from her.

>You ain't takin' it.

When Chrysalis rose up, she knew it had changed.

"...Alright, if you want to do it that way, fine."

When she called her flames, she knew the battle had begun.

"Let's see if that apple is worth it."

She had no idea.

>Ugh!

AJ goes for a flying kick, but ShadowAJ grabs and slams her hard to the ground.
"Argh!"

'Oh, so now you decide you want to help. It's always too late isn't it?'

>You...have to yell your attack AJ!

'You talk too much.'
Her tongue wraps around binding Pinkie, pulling her closer, and she raises the shotgun to Pinkie's face. Time slows down for Pinkie as mind races.

>(I'm getting that craving again. What is it? It's like when I see this shadow...I want to...I want to...)
She gets a hungry look in her eyes and in the moment...she opens her mouth wide and-

"APPLE WARHAMMER!"
AJ slams an apple shaped warhammer at ShadowAJ's back releasing Pinkie.
"APPLE BINDING!"
ShadowAJ's legs get tied together.
"Ah, don't know what's going on, but you're not hurting Pinkie! APPLE GRIND!"
AJ jumps and does a spin which drills her back legs into ShadowAJ. She then puts Pinkie on her back and runs.

Is it wrong if I feel my hype is quenched given the fact that the scenario where AJ gets all this neat new shit both character and magic wise is most likely going to end up with some sort of "Good job, Chrysalis for stopping that crazy mudpone" / "And there was much grovelling" resolution?
>>
>>25799686
No one is around Anon, who are they going to believe?

Also, AJ is going a lil powermad, it wouldn't be right if she didn't get the proper smackdown for it.

I mean unless you want Fluttershy to waltz over and solve this, except the apple is literally the one thing she can't do shit about. But Friendship not hurting your appul anymore (or really at all) resolution would work best.

It's the onky proper way for this to end: Someone else in a dungeon for attacking Chryssy.
>>
>>25800263
>in a sense Chrysalis works great cause it's thematic or some shit.

Not just the themes of mind-control or that, but she just plain works perfect for the story. She's just close enough to being a friend that this would be emotional in some way for AJ, but just far away enough that AJ could legitimately think she's trying to steal the Apple, and not have it be her being crazy. Chrysalis would totally want an apple that makes anyone believe what you say, Applejack isn't wrong there.

That and Chrysalis is the only one that, when Applejack hit her, would take it to mean "It's on!" rather than "Gasp! Applejack? Hitting someone? The horror!" And the only one that Applejack would think she doesn't stand a chance in a fight against, pushing her to dig in as deep as she can in desperation. She's not afraid of hurting Chrysalis right now(insert "World of Cardboard" speech at your leisure.) so we can have an action scene with AJ like we've never had before. She fits pretty damn perfect here in literally every aspect.

Of course, the real winner here is going to be Applejack regardless. Even if she loses the fight(which I don't know that she will, I've seen more surprising wins). Because for all the pew pews and punches, the real important part is that we get to see AJ be interesting. Chrysalis is only here because she fits APPLEJACK'S story, and not the other way around. That's a win to me.

That does not sound remotely in character. If anything, she'd try to take the reigns and make him do it harder somehow. Guess it can kind of fit AJ since it's being unnatural with nature, but Chrysalis would be all for it.

She might do that. But n the other hand she'd probably be super pissed he ran off and did something she didn't order *again*. While you can argue 'but it helps the changelings' we don't know the full extent of the plan, and many of us have been suspicious of it, possibly rightly so with blossom and the digging under canterlot remaining unknowns in this scenario. She may not like his master plan and it would certainly only raise tensions with ponies at a delicate time.

Chrysalis isn't known for her patience and understanding. Her paranoia and over reactions to any challenge to her authority real or perceived however....

If anything, you'd think that she's just happy this time didn't end with him in the hospital again.

She'd just count this crazy scheme as a win for the lack of broken bones alone.

>>25801572
I'm not sure. She doesn't seem to mind when he winds up in hospital. Any of the others she is all kinds of pissed. Him? Sadly not so much.
>>
>>25801806
That's wrong, actually. Hell, she's one of the very, VERY few she admitted makes her worried with this shit. He ran off before he could hear it, but post Varry she said the part that made her mad wasn't that he disobeyed again, but that he keeps doing it and almost dying. She gets mad at him, but that one moment proves that under it all, she is worried about him first and foremost.
>>
>>25801806
He's got a weird relationship with her. On the one hand, he makes her so angry all the damn time, she's ready to snap his head off most days. On the other, she knows he's doing it to make her happy and serve her, like with the 29 stuff, so she at least respects what he's trying to do.

The last time she really got pissed at him was when he went after 29 after she said she would handle it, but when he ran off to go save 12 she just said she wanted him to stop putting himself in unnecessary risks. They haven't spoken since then.

He's right, she'd just be thankful he wasn't doing something that might get him killed, and since it's benefiting the changelings instead of risking them, she might even thank him. Shoot, with all her thoughts of getting out on her own, she might even full on pat him on the head, but for sure she wouldn't be angry at him for this.
>>
>>25801971
But it is risking them a bit. If ponies knew what he was up to do you think they wouldn't freak out?

They're having conniptions over a ling using it's powers to actively HELP a different country.
>>
>>25802283
>But it is risking them a bit.

Actually? He did it right. He kept it far away from any prying eyes, he didn't overreach his bounds and break into anyplace that they could trace back to him, when offered he took the help of an Equestrian official princess, and he remained peaceful as he could during the whole process while doing everything he can to remain hidden. Most importantly, he did it in a way that couldn't be traced back to her or the Hive.

Yes, things would be bad NOW, but if this had come out a week ago, it would've been minor news at best. A crazy ling scientist, out in the middle of the woods being crazy! That's all he would have been. Not his fault that someone else changed the game.

Thinking further on it, this might actually make him even more lenient. She would have told him to hang back if he had just asked her back at the 12 arc, but now the game has changed, and nobody trusts them and she might be at the very corner of the world. He might have, completely accidentally, given her an asset and allybase that is invaluable in a time like this, and if fighting breaks out then she's got someone to hang back on. Sure, the ponies freaked out, but nothing that happened from Seven. And now that it's out, she can see that even when they're helping ponies, they're going to buck the trend, so why the fuck would she think LESS of a ling who was making sure her Hive got another source of food? Why would she turn on the guy helping her?

Yeah, he'd get a headpat, probably. Maybe a light one when she figures out he hasn't actually achieved anything yet, but she'd appreciate the work he put in to make sure this never got discovered, and certainly the intentions behind it. Guy took initiative, didn't get hurt, and didn't cause a panic, 18 did that. And now, hey, worst case scenario she has a bitching Manticore who is willing to defend changelings.

To Chrysalis, this would be an all around win.

I find it kinda amusing you assume it's just one guy and keep pointing it out. I mean, seriously, are you going to go 'Oh no, it's THAT guy again' at anyone pissed off , abrasive or doesn't like certain trends?

That's so absolutely ignorant, you'd make the Equestrian population look like professional sleuths instead of brain-damaged gophers.

And ascended self-insert isn't far off from the truth at all. 18's current situation, position and relationships are extremely shaped by that one guy who dominated that one thread and then went 'I felt so stressed lately and had to get it all out because I saw myself in her and so at least she gets rewarded for her work' and everyone felt too arkward after all his hard work to say that it was pretty damn forced.

Which is exactly what that one guy said, And all the follow up stuff where he just kept trying. Joys of anonymity man, when the guy who has all the same flags as that guy then follows up with the same "Insult a character and go OC OC OC!" style after it fails the first time, or rather fails for the who knows how often, you start to see a trend. The timing just was not right if you were trying to get something across. It comes across like>>25802930, essentially.

And we're never afraid to tell someone if the story is lacking or forced just because they worked hard, that one guy with the Spike subplot had a whole thing written out that he scrapped because of that even.

>That's so absolutely ignorant, you'd make the Equestrian population look like professional sleuths instead of brain-damaged gophers.

Come on, man.

>and everyone felt too arkward after all his hard work to say that it was pretty damn forced.

Pffft.

Also, what's the term when you take a character who isn't a self insert to tell a story you want to see for that character who you empathize with? He didn't make 18, the guy who did even commented at the end that he liked the story and wanted to do something like that, but didn't have the writing chops he felt.

What's the term for that?
>>
>>25803022
Like you can just drive someone away. That's just too ridonculous. But, notice, no one usually responds to the obligatory outsider spouting crap like 'apple is shit' or 'you need to sop the generals'. It's way worse if you have someone who argues, if badly, that something feels digesting or terrible to them in this thread. Because these people followed and read this shtick for a while.

For you to toss them all into the same 'It must be Peridot's doing!' bin just proves how far you've got your noses up your own assessment and refuse to acknowledge you have a problem. Namely one of narrative decay.

And my point still stands. It's cute you defend the subplot where Shining Armor first began approaching his marriage in a far more lax manner a whole two outsiders have begun taking advantage of, with many more planned. And while this whole harem hype disgusts me like nothing else I this thread, I accept that's what some people want since they need their Anon in Equestria equivalent.

On the original point, I still think 7 did far faaaaar worse than 18. He needs a bitchslap, not a pat to encourage him. He's clearly crazy-desperate.

If you argued a little less like a 15 year old cunt trying to be cheeky with your baiting question, i woulf at least take you for full.

>And my point still stands. It's cute you defend the subplot where Shining Armor first began approaching his marriage in a far more lax manner a whole two outsiders have begun taking advantage of, with many more planned.

Because they're taking the very slow time to make it work. It's taking months and a fuckton of writing, but they're not rushing into it and not forcing it, and they're even using it to create humorous scenarios. Which is what the intentin should be.

>On the original point, I still think 7 did far faaaaar worse than 18. He needs a bitchslap, not a pat to encourage him. He's clearly crazy-desperate.

Agreed 7 is worse than 18 due to him only caring about his Hive and not bettering anyone else, in addition to keeping his own plans, and no durr he's desperate that's his whole thing, he got pushed into a corner trying to make Chrysalis happy and this is the result. But no, he doesn't deserve a bitchslap, he hasn't done anything but make animals smart.... the horror?

>If you argued a little less like a 15 year old cunt trying to be cheeky with your baiting question, i woulf at least take you for full.

Debate eats up posts. Posts that could be filled with fun and writing. I hate debate. It's a drag and a downer.

Pretty much. But discussing how much I hate a traditional value like marriage being pissed, then MASTURBATED on by fucktards who have never been in a meaningful relationship in their life, much less something as lasting as a genuinely loving marriage won't change how the plot evolved and will keep on evolving.

Some of you guys just want to see Shiny slam his good old cock into Celestia's, his sister's nd pretty much every Changeling character you conceived's cunt.

It was fine the way it was intended. Young love. Recent marriage. But before they could even face the hurdle of trust and a child, but 18 comes along.
I could... accept that. Relationships are changing and the dynamics of it. The heart wanders.

I can respect if Shining loves two mare equally. And I respect Cadence for having the greatness to accept it and love him no less for it.

But with the recent addition of 42, Chrysalis almost kissing him and him letting it happen and the constant Celly-Shiny shiptease, it's getting absolutely ridiculous. That stallion is pretty much whoring around and goofing off at this point while his wife is facing a crisis in all aspects of her life.

Hell, while she is trying to better herself and the uncertainty whether she can love 18 is eating her up, he's merrily planning his next date.

And that's not even grazing the constant topic of him fucking anything that moves in OOC. That joke is worn thin to the breaking point.

Sorry to say, but he has become Anon in Equeatria's stand-in.

>>25803643

Addition how? She just admitted that's how she felt, they didn't go any further than that.

>Hell, while she is trying to better herself and the uncertainty whether she can love 18 is eating her up, he's merrily planning his next date.

He wasn't planning it, he brought it up while 18 was wondering if the universe was telling her to give up as a way to show HE wasn't giving up.

And the first thing and repeated thing he did is try to be supportive to Cadence post reveal, she's just outright ignoring him or in some cases actually telling him to leave. She's even dismissive of him when he tries to bring up the fallout of the gryphon thing. He wants to be there, but she's too determined to be alone, he's just letting her because he thinks that's what she has to do because he believes in her, always has, and he said as much multiple times. Oh, and he thinks she's still 100 percent okay with 18, because she says she is all the time, and that hasn't changed.

>That stallion is pretty much whoring around and goofing off at this point while his wife is facing a crisis

You can't say he's whoring around or goofing off when he is A, not sleeping or even having any sort of physical activity with anyone, and B, doing actual work like talking to dignitaries, going through paperwork to find which ones Cadence did, and making sure riots aren't breaking out. His wife shut herself in a room and started studying, and the few times he tried to get in she pushed him away.

>And that's not even grazing the constant topic of him fucking anything that moves in OOC.

I still find it funny.

>he has become Anon in Equeatria's stand-in.

You've said this before, and there is still no AIE equivalent of an anon being happily married, but never ever having sex to the point of running gag, getting to date another mare and STILL never having any sex, and teasing a bunch of others, but still never having any sex.

It doesn't happen.

42 isn't a recent addition. She's wanted him since...geeze, pre gala?

Until the 18 bit showed up she was on point to be wife 2. The reason the whe 'she's into caddy' bit began was because at the time, somewhere before or during party land, anon's thought it'd make it easier for her to get in there.

Really not new.
>>
>>25804193
>She's wanted him since...geeze, pre gala?

Had to be, she really wanted him to ask her to dance at the gala, and him doing so was something she considered to be the most magical time of her life.

Though you should note that even then, she was always the closest to Caddy since the early days, we're talking pre-invasion even. Her being attracted to Caddy wasn't out of the blue, if anything it makes a ton more sense than 18's does.

Well, Omake Shiny fits what he is saying, but that is the story series that has everyone constantly pointing out how out of character they all are acting.

Spike was actually our Anon substitute. we even gave him the one canon story involving Anon (by rewriting it as Spike in his spot).

But Shinning fulfills the other half of the Anon spectrum just fine. and you know what, I'm okay with that. Because at least it is a pony from the show and not a green skinned stand in.

>>25803727
He kinda is when we are trying to have him run off for a beach episode in the middle of this just to play drown with Celestia.

And this "OC's taking all the spotlight" argument is dead. Here is a list of the last few major plots and who the main characters of that plot were
>Current arc AJ/Cadence/Rarity
>7's sideplot 7/Fluttershy/PPG
>Luna the teacher sideplot Luna/29/AJ(yes she was)
>OnO AJ/Luna/Spike/Cadence/Pennydrop
>12's rescue AJ/12/7
>Destruction of Crystal Canada Sunset/varry/Chitty
>Changelings being thrown out of Canterlot AJ/Chysalis/7/Jetset
>Kingsmoot ALL THE OCS
>Cordy AJ/Twilight/Chrysalis/88
>18's minarc 18/Shiny
>Fillydelphia fight Chitty/DT/Pennydrop
>Pommel's adventure ALL THE PIRATE OCS
>Partyland EVERYONE.

Those are just the ones off the top of my head. There are two in that list without a canon pony involvement. Unless we are doing that thing where anyone outside the mane 6 and Spike is automatically an OC, then it goes to five. Butt hen again Alicorn AJ/Rarity/Fluttershy are non canon to the show so I guess they are OCs too, right? And Spike too since before Flim and Flam were revived he killed ponies.So I guess that leaves 2 without exclusively OC plots. I see what you mean now.

AJ and Pinkie run into the bar.
"Is this a normal thing for you? Fighting dream creatures?"

>Sort of. In the past I had help from Discord, Luna, and the Pink Pony Club, but this is the first time I've gone without any of them. I hope you're a fast learner because this is going to be a crash course. Just do what I say and don't question it. It's just easier that way.

ShadowAJ appears.
'Applejack? Learn? What a silly concept. Don't worry though. Once Ah take over Ah can make changes for the better.'

"She wants to what now?"

>She wants to take over your mind. Try to keep up! Pop out the lights!

"This is happening so fast."

>Applejack stop talking and kick those light bulbs!
They jump and break the lights above them making their side of the bar dark.

'You think you darkness is going to hide you? Ah was born from the dark. Molded by it.'
A whisky bottle is flung and shatters on the back of her head. ShadowAJ raises her eyebrow and turns around to see a cardboard cutout standing there.
*BANG*
The cutout crumbles from the shotgun blast. ShadowAJ turns forward again and finds 3 more angry looking cutouts standing in front of her.

The light flickers and goes out.

I mean this is going to be the world's longest hour. The others can only do so much before it becomes sitting on our hands waiting for 1 writefag like all the other threads.

Those scenes with Pommel milling around making small talk with Chitania, that is this thread right now.
>>25809183
Hey the problem isn't your speed, we were okay with Pommel anon taking over 30 threads to get him back on the timeline, the only issue is the arbitrary time table that got thrust onto AJ's part forcing everything to stop while she does her thing. I have loved 95% of your work with AJ, it is just something out of your control that was the issue.
>>
>AJ
"Chrysalis"
~~~

She was not controlling it.

She was living it.

Her head throbbed in tandem with the soothing pulsating magic in her hoof, her eyes tingling with the sensation as if they had been lit alight by a heavenly glow. She could not wait when she heard the Queen's words, her challenge. Rather, she met them, with stones thrown so fast any who saw them would swear them bullets, rather than mere clumps of the ground below.

Speed that granted her no benefit, when the changeling's magic tore them apart.

>Ya' wanna see what it's worth!?

She stamped, her hoof hitting the ground with a force not of muscle alone, a force that seemed to reach out, to fly beneath sight under the ground over to where the Queen advanced.

She dodged, seemingly knowing where it would be this time, allowing the spire to reach up unabated and unsuccessful.

"You really think you stand a chance with just some rocks?"

She felt it in her hooves, in her head, the power rushing through both as she pulled as deeply as she could find to gain the answer to stop the changeling from stealing from her, from taking away her only victory. She was pushing herself, she knew, she was reacting strongly, she did not deny, but to deny instead that the Apple of Honesty in the hooves of someone like Chrysalis was a far more dangerous prospect than any attack would be nothing short of madness.

>You best back off, now, or else Ah'm gonna get real mad, Chrysalis.

"Not a problem, to me."

Chrysalis could not be allowed to take this from her, the very fate of the world was at stake, the fate of everything. She would understand someday, that this was to fix her changelings relationships as much as it was to fix Equestria. Someday, when she had fixed everything, she could reveal just what it was this Apple was capable of. Someday, when she could be trusted with that knowledge.

Someday, when she could be trusted completely, maybe someday soon.

Not today.

>>25809393

>Ah' warned you!

She swung her head back so far she nearly felt it crack, her eyes peering over her own shoulder to look to the cliff face behind her. She felt that throb become a roar, matched only by what escaped her lips when she swung back with all she had. Her hat rustled in the wind left behind, when a boulder twice the size of the changeling herself flew by.

"Stop embarrassing yourself."

A sickeningly green blade sliced the thing in two, letting the twin bits fly to either side of her without even so much as slowing her steps. Continued in her mission, to take everything away.

Trying to take away her last chance to save Equestria, to make everyone understand what she had been doing, to break the barrier of doubt so they could believe the truth, and nothing more. She wanted to tell them the truth, and all that stood in her way was the niggling doubt of circumstance, that was all. Take away that doubt, take away that circumstance, and she could give them the truth like no other ever could. She had the power, she had the ability.

All that stood in her way was a changeling that just plain did not know when to stay out of everyone's business. When she was writing laws and slipping them in, when she was looking into Equestria's matters, the Queen always had to have a hoof in everything.

She could not get her hooves on this one.

>Get away Ah' said!

She did not stamp this time, not even close. What she did was more again to slamming into the ground with all her body, yet only touching it with her hooves. What she did was to throw everything she was into that ground, and let it fly.

She felt something at that moment. A strange something, only there for a second, but the sensation of something in the ground below. She could not describe it, no matter how hard she tried. It was like a body, like veins. Life. Something beneath that ground was alive, and she felt it in that second.

That one second before that same ground collapsed into rubble.

2/3
>>
>>25809399

A wave of dirt, stone and grass became like a landslide, rolling underneath the hooves above it in long waves that reached out. Sought out the changeling to consume her, and bring her beneath the ground, to be buried away until she could finish her quest.

"Is that the best you've got?"

It pained her when that Queen rose up, letting it all just pass her, just like she always did. Every disaster, just beneath her.

"What will you do now, throw more rocks? It won't be hard to dodge."

Chrysalis could, she knew it. She could swoop down right now, faster than she could react, and take her. Stones of the ground would not help her now, not when there is such an advantage, such a difference in ability.

"Give me the Apple, Applejack. You can't reach me, you can't fight me, it's over. Give up, now. Before I have to hurt you."

Her teeth grit, the sensation of scraping echoing in her mouth as she glared up at the Queen so smugly above her.

"You can't run, Applejack."

There was a truth to what she was saying. For all the lies the changing could give, that was the truth, in a way.

She couldn't run, no. There had been many things in her life that she could not run from, no matter how much she wanted. She could not run from this.

>Ah' ain't gotta run.

But she was not the same pony who could not run before.

She proved this, to the Changeling, to the world, to herself, with one single beat of her wings.

"You're really going to take this that far?"

She rose, with every beat she rose, until at last, at long, long last, she looked the Queen square in the eyes, level for the very first time in all they had known each other.

>No... Ah'm gonna take it to the end.

"...Fine."

Her wings were unsteady, her abilities suspect.

But when Chrysalis made the first move, she found it in her to beat those wings stronger than she had ever done before.

>Ya' ain't takin' it, ya' gaddang bug monster!

She was going to take this to the end, and save Equestria.

To be fair, Chrysalis getting it isn't exactly a happy ending either, nor is destroying the apple.

>>25809989
How is ditching the apple not a good end? It is a object that makes you believe whatever the holder is saying including "you want to hurt yourself". There are six end game routes right now
>Chrysalis gets the apple
>AJ uses it to create her world
>It is destroyed
>She absorbs it and now has the targeted voicify power to abuse permanently
>The tree takes it away (same result as 'destroy it')
>She uses it to convince Chrysalis she doesn't want it and somehow realizes the error of her ways and locks it up so someone else can stumble upon it and use it later

We can't even send Discord/Fluttershy at it because it is a apple shaped ball of harmony magic.
>>
>>25810080
>How is ditching the apple not a good end?
In the sense that it doesn't fix anything, it just resets it back to an earlier point. If AJ loses the Apple, she's back to where she was when she ran off. Plus Chrysalis being pissed she got mind controlled in addition to her Lings being in trouble. Which she still believes are all okay now, to note.

It's not BAD end, I'll admit, as it doesn't make this situation worse sans Chrysalis and AJ's relationship, but it's not a good end either.

Okay, what is the secret seventh route where

>The others can only do so much before it becomes sitting on our hands waiting for 1 writefag like all the other threads

That is a legitimate issue, we don't want to lock down everyone even if this is by far the best AJ story in... ever for this thread, but we don't also want to derail or rush what is quite obviously the stuff we've wanted out of AJ in a while.

Thoughts? Would removing the timetable from Ponyville help, or would we still need to do something else?

>Thoughts? Would removing the timetable from Ponyville help, or would we still need to do something else?

>>25810223
>Thoughts? Would removing the timetable from Ponyville help, or would we still need to do something else?

Removing the timetable from Ponyville would allow others to get into stuff that would take longer than the hour listed, but the base problem of obviously we can't have days pass is still an issue.

Though admittedly, aside from getting to the beach arc, I'm not sure what we're going towards with that.
>>
>>25810249
Which I still think we should not take Shiny on. It makes him look like a dick if we have him ditch Cadence to go play with Celestia for the sole purpose of having non OOCO drowning jokes. "Why not bring her too?" Because CE stuff didn't stop because Canterlot Castle is off limits and Caddy is in the middle of trying to better herself to actually do the work 18 does for her. Leaving a day after starting to go have fun on a beach is a backpedal for her when she is in mid development. And I know us if we take her to the beach, a month from now, when the Canterlot thing blows over and they return we'll have forgotten it and she'll be back to just being the pretty face that won't throw shiny a bone. It is just like all those times before now when we had AJ agree (I said agree Luna) to learn magic but then something happens and next thread and it is never touched again.

I was kind of hoping for some more JOLLY COOPERATION between Pommel and Sunset.

Oh, she's going. But she's not sliding back or anything. Moment we decided on Beach-Episode, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with her.

Which is to say, test her to the limit by throwing a shitload of things/friends that try to distract her and threaten to bring her back to her old lackadaisical ways. Can she hold out and stick to her guns, can she overcome the need to go and be silly with everyone in the face of a need to actually be a good princess? WAIT AND SEE!

And no, it doesn't work if you leave her behind, you need to test her with the fun place.

>>25810501
SO Now we have Celestia in a inflatable floatie staring down at the water with quivering lips holding his goggles, thinking "It's just not the same"?

If we let Sunset touch her, we can actually kill her. Just need to work around 13.
>>25810636
There is no wait and see. the answer is no, she won't

That plot is pretty paint by numbers.
She'll keep trying to focus and WILL get distracted and caught up in it and whoops trip is over and she did nothing.
Version two, She looks on longingly while the others do fun shit and she never gets enough focus to do more than the first line before she leaves.
Version 3 She is successful and shuts out all distractions (something that could be accomplished with the crystal harem staying home).
Version 4 she gets all kinds of distracted but at the last min still completes all the work (the procrastinators version but caddy has almost no ability in this area so it would be her divining the answers)
>>
>>25810767
>the answer is no,

Pffft.

>She'll keep trying to focus and WILL get distracted and caught up in it and whoops trip is over and she did nothing.
IF that happened, it would be an easy way to make an arc of it of her trying to fight the whole way.

>Version two, She looks on longingly while the others do fun shit and she never gets enough focus to do more than the first line before she leaves.

Or she does, and it actually means something because she can see the fun she's missing.

>Version 3 She is successful and shuts out all distractions (something that could be accomplished with the crystal harem staying home).

Accomplished without any of the humor or new scenarios that a brand new location would bring, and completely bereft of the idea that if she succeeds there, surrounded by literally everyone and whatever fun and over the top events are going to happen on the episode, she can succeed anywhere, instead of just in a place filled with ponies/lings who want her to succeed. She needs to be actually tested in a new environment that's going to have a lot of big stuff going on, not in the same setting she's been since thread 1.

She's going.
>>
>>25810767
Version 5: She, with significant help from 18 (in the guiding way, not "just do it for her") manages to get it done with only one day left, and they all have fun together, and then Cadance also feels better about 18, and herself, and everyone gets to be happy.
You are a very small minded thinker, not that it's a bad thing, sometimes a straight and narrow perspective is nice.

I'm just going to point out that I'm pretty sure The Widow's Regret is STILL Airborne due to Lavan's fuckery.
>>
>>25810853
An airship, huh?
>>
>>25810868
>implying they have control over it at all
it's kinda just floating around like a hot air balloon.
Which means it will of course float it's way over wherever this beach arc is going to take place.
>>
>>25810829
You can still do that in the CE. Why do we need to drag the ponies not put out by the main plot? And the one who literally can't do one form right now, cannot in one day, do the work 18 takes the whole day doing.

Just tell me why they actually need to go. What actual purpose do they have for going, other than just cause the others are?
>>
Okay. Okay. Soooo... let the time limit run out and either 29 is with Sunset or not, the Changelings leave.

Heading to Canterlot with Chitania is going to take a shit load of time, given her misfortune. Sure, it will a complete and disheartening loss for Sunset and the Guards, who will now doubt their own princess' integrity, while giving Ponyville the worst public opinion of the Changelings ever, but at least we can continue PART of the plot independently!
>>
>>25810901
Because we CAN'T do that in the CE as it is right now. The people distrust everything right now, if they find out that 18 is helping Cadance learn to do paperwork they'll be even more distrustful. Plus Cadance is being a shut-in right now and we need to drag her ass out.

>>25810949
SHe doesn't get lost as easily now btw. She got to ponyville fine it was getting to the changelings that took a min.

>>25810901
Ill say it again, it does not work in the CE. It's a familiar place, it's filled with staff and guard and a ton of folks who she has personal authority over who she can order to run interference or just outright ignore every problem and let Shiny or someone else handle it.

This is a new setting, an unfamiliar place with no guards, no familiar hangouts just outside the castle, the others are going to be trying to have fun, and there might even be some things she just plain can't avoid, and nobody within screaming distance to do it for her.

And, most importantly, EVERYONE is going to be focused on having fun. Everyone is going to want to go out and have a time, and she's going to be tempted in a way that just plain isn't possible in the normal setting. Anything she misses there will be there tomorrow, this is a trip she might not be able to make again for YEARS, so by holding out she really is giving something up, something she might not get back.

But, in the face of all that, with all that unique character situations and jokes we just plain can't make in the CE with it, why do you want to keep them out? There's a good character reason and unique story scenarios, why do you just really hope we don't?
>>
>>25810080
Wait why can't they seal it away? Discord stole and his all the elements of harmony before to play a game. They aren't poison to him. Why can't he just grab it and throw it down a chaos hole?
>>
>>25811165
She means him/Flutters couldn't resist it, if he went for it AJ can just say "grabbing this apple will kill you" and not only would he believe it, it's magic apparently prevents anyone fron noticing its happening.

Discord can't beat the Apple unless he knows what it does and takes measures against it, and even then we don't know if he could grab it without something happening, Chrysalis hasn't managed yet. It will work on him or Flutters like anyone else.
>>
>>25811204
>She could walk up to any nation and say "This place has been annexed by Equestria, and they would just know it was the truth."
>"Fighting back won't help, you'll just die without killing one of us" and the army stops.

>"You want to join the army."
>"You want to stop cheating on your wife."
>"You want to adopt these orphans, mister rich guy"
>"Pears are shit"

Jesus fuck why is this so much scarier than just plain old mind control?
>>
>>25810990
You mean Canterlot will. CE just doesn't view her as a Goddess anymore. Going on vacation and coming back with magically done work, with only those that would vouch for her around to see it, doesn't help that. but oh well.

>>25811020
This will be the second vacation they will take in the same canon calendar year. She is very capable of leaving anytime, this isn't special other than some anon heard "everyone in Canterlot has to leave the Castle grounds, lets do an anime style beach episode".

All I heard is 2 and sombra building a sandcastle and more Celly and Shiny like to drown each other followed by WE HAVE TO DO THIS.

No I don't want them to go because we can easily have Cadence trying to do things around the Empire that 18 normally does (not just sit at a desk), instead of having Cadence going "I really should be doing work right now" every third line of thought for a month. Only for it to get rapped up with a five post story of 18 making her do it. There is also the fact that going we have
>Celestia
>Luna
>Mane 6
>Sunset
>Spike
>at the very least the named guard (all the guard should be out because 77 but they won't)
>Batmom and Dadling with Babyling (because the townsfolk will feel vindicated and fighting them all won't help)
>Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon (because they will)
>32, JJ, 88, & Acty (unless we dump them with 29 because a Changeling embassy isn't going to be smiled upon right now)
>Daw and now apparently the crew from the Widow's Regret

We don't need to add Cadence's subplot to this just so she can ignore it and fix it as an also-ran at the very end because we need 8 more ponies involved.

OOCO
>Twilight
‘Spike’
“Dash”

We meet our trio again on the plains of Equestria.

“Oh, so now I’m invited to these again? What gives?”

>Well I figured since the recent attempts didn’t really use conventional flight there wasn’t much for you to offer. So….

“…When have any of these utilized ‘conventional’ flight?”

>Point. Which is one reason why you’re back in now!

“And the other?”

>I may need your help catching if this one goes wrong too.

“Good to know you’ll use me as a pack mare”

>…What are friends for?

‘Abuse. If recent events in my life are any indication. What have we got today?’

Twilight winced at the dragon’s words but did not take offense.

>Well…

They turned to the figure before them: a suit of armor, slumping forward.

>This is a suit of power armor I built for you. Flight capability included.

“Another jetpack?”

>A TOUGHER jetpack. And armor to protect him in case something goes wrong this time.

“How much does that weigh?”

>Well…..

“Ok wow. No. I’m not trying to catch that in flight.”

>Will you help me lug it back to the castle?

“Probably not.”

>…ok. Spike? Step into the armor whenever you’re ready.

‘Alright…’

Approaching it from behind, the armor opened automatically as if to welcome him inside. Stepping in it closed wrapping around him like a comfortable glove. A it sealed the eyes came on with a warm green glow.

~Armor Power at 100%~

“Nice…”

‘Y’know what? It really is. I feel…strong, in this stuff. Tough too.’

>Thanks! But I didn’t build that just to make you strong Spike. Let’s not forget why we’re here. Whenever you’re ready, get a running start and jump and the jets should come on automatically.

‘…Do I have to? I think I’d rather just…y’know run around in it.’

(1/3?)
>>
>>25811470
>No, Spike. Come on, I feel confident this one will work so…

‘Alright…’

He took a deep breath. And stepped forward.

Surprisingly for something so heavy it gathered speed quickly, soon he was moving faster than ever before in his life, he leapt into the air, the jets activated and he, for the first time, truly flew.

‘YEAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

The freedom, the grandeur, he could see for miles, and felt he could go wherever he willed.

‘THIS. IS. AMAZING!!!’

He flew off into the sunset.
***
“So…how’s that thing powered.”

>Oh, you know…power cores. Like the ones in the robots.

“Isn’t that the same as what spike uses to power his big gun?”

>Yeah.

“And...no one’s allowed to carry too many of those things around right?”

>They are unstable when too many are in close proximity. Can just…<crackle> and short each other out without proper shielding.

“Is the suit shielded?”

>…mostly…I was kind of in a hurry near the end…

“So…couldn’t that be a problem?”

>Why?
***
‘I wonder what it’d be like to use some of the heavier artillery in this baby…’

A hairpin turn in midair saw him returning to his workshop.
***
“Well, what if he tries to use both at once?”

>Pft! Why would he ever need to do that? Really he should just leave that thing behind. Charity is plenty for a dragon his age.
***
He hit the ground art full speed the shockwave of his landing sending dirt clods everywhere and rattling the windows.

He stomped inside.
***
“But he does do dangerous work sometimes…he might need it.”

>Dash, trust me. While he’s in that armor that overly dangerous…thing will be the last of his interests!
***
Lovingly his robotic claws caressed her…not his favorite. But his most powerful. His holdout. His, dare he say it? …Sexy.

…Ebulliance.

In a moment she was in his claws and he blasted off again.
***
(2/3?)
>>
>>25811475
“Huh…looks like he’s coming back…”

>I guess the test flight is over!

“Ummm…what’s that he’s holding?”

>Uh oh.
***
He flew high above them all, near where his flight had started.

It was time for a show. Time for some flash. Time….to live every nerd’s wet dream by carving his name into a mountain with a fuck off laser while flying in POWER ARMOR!!!!

…squee!

His leveled his weapon at the far off peak, set power to maximum, and depressed the trigger, savoring the now familiar sound of the capacitors spinning up as his girl roared to life!

The power! The wonder! The-

<Crackle>

~Power Depleted~

‘…son of a…’
***
<Wheeeeeeeeooooooooo-PONG!>

The armor fell out of the sky and slammed into the ground not far from where Dash and twilight looked on. In moments they reached it.

>Spike! Spike can you hear me?

She tapped her hoof twice against the helmet
<pong-pong>

‘Twilight? Can you help me? I can’t move. I think this thing’s out of power. Twilight?’

“Uh oh. He’s not responding! He must be hurt!”

>not necessarily. He armor’s probably sound proof.

‘Uh…twilight? Dash? Are ya’ll still there? Need a little help…’

“So what do we do!?”

>Well we need to get the power core back online, or get another one.

“Do you have any on hand!?”

>Well….no. But I can recharge this one!

“How long will that take?”

>I don’t know. A few hours maybe?

“oh…ok. Wait…is that thing airtight?”

>…

“Be right back.”

<ZOOM>

<ZOOM>

“Here”

The blue Pegasus tossed an object over to the purple princess.

She looked into her hooves and found…a can opener.

“You take the right side, I’ve got the left.”

(3/3) hooray for counting!
>>
>>25811412
>She is very capable of leaving anytime,

Not anymore, she WAS capable of leaving anytime, but if she actually wants to be a good princess then she can't just up and leave whenever, and especially not to the beach.

>No I don't want them to go because we can easily have Cadence trying to do things around the Empire that 18 normally does (not just sit at a desk), instead of having Cadence going "I really should be doing work right now" every third line of thought for a month.

And? We can always have Cadence around the Empire, she'll be right back there when this is all over too. That's the point, she'll always have the CE, and everything they could do there as a family, at any time. She'll always have that, this is something she won't have and some time she won't get back. If she gives up something in the CE like movie night, whoopdee do, we do those all the time, if she gives up surfing with Two? Whole other story.

>Only for it to get rapped up with a five post story of 18 making her do it.

You'd probably find yourself way more open to this if you'd stop assuming you knew how it was going to go when you've made the wrong predictions every time with five different goes at it.

>We don't need to add Cadence's subplot to this

Sure, we don't need to, but I've heard zero reason not to aside from you saying you don't want it, and I've listed plenty of reasons why it is a unique scenario we can't do any other time and what it means to the character. I mean, I'm gonna write it, so... it's not like I'm being a dick and forcing it on anyone here.

>just so she can ignore it and fix it as an also-ran at the very end because we need 8 more ponies involved.

Again, please stop predicting incorrectly and trying to dismiss it based on your predictions alone, give me a real reason.

>>25811484
>Not just teleporting him out

She wishes him to suffer.

I feel her.
>>
>>25811620
Er...um...it's magic proof! Yes that's it! Genu-Wine Magic proof power armor!

...that is suceptible to can openers...
>>
>>25811496
>If she actually wants to be a good princess then she can't just up and leave whenever, and especially not to the beach.
You mean like she is about to?

>Stop making predictions
k. You're the writer, even if I hit the mark at all, you could change it. Not saying you did, but you could. This line is also irrelevant.

>We don't need it but imma do it anyway
I just like this reason for doing things, but it is unique if they all decided to move to the Everfree, doesn't mean we should.

>Give you a real reason other than I don't want it
Really the only one I got is that it kinda looks bad on her, even if she comes back the conquering hero ready to share the burden. Or it should, given the circumstances preceding. but it doesn't matter because you all are going to take them anyway. Honestly, I'm arguing with the one guy who is actually going to do something productive with a non chitin covered member of the harem and it probably wouldn't get done for a while otherwise or it might have, i don't know. So I'll stop.

>>25811620
She actually does. For some reason I forget her making up to him for sending him into the caves again turned into her fucking with him after the first one. It was the one where she was laughing about him being hurt.
>>
>>25811739
She's actually not. Only the second one was meant to screw with him. She's really trying here.

Or supposed to be anyway.
>>
>>25811782
Ah makes since since she actually shows worry in the other ones.

>Sweet Note
"???"
~~~

>You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up! You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up! You put the... does that song actually have any other lyrics?

Her only other companion in the dark, barely lit room, a single bobbleheaded diamond dog, nodded away as he always did.

>Well, shoot! Now I just look silly.

Sighing, she brought up straw in the the aforementioned coconut to her lips, and took a sip before turning her attention once again back to the flickering lights f the movie screen in front of her. Absently, she tried to focus on it, leaning back in her plush recliner while shoveling popcorn into her mouth.

>I wish Chitty was here, she probably knows the lyrics.

"We very much doubt tha-"

>WHAAHAA EEEK!

She didn't know what that noise that came from her was, but the sound of popcorn and a coconut splattering against something was familiar enough.

"...We are not amused."

Slowly, very slowly, she found the strength to peer over the back of the chair.

>...P-Princess Luna!?

Regally, she nodded, stepping more into the 'light', unnecessary though it was. Her starlight mane was rather hard to miss.

"We are."

>Oh... what the heck are you doing here? How did you get past the security!?

"Hrmph! Did thou really think us unable to circumvent such simple measures?"

>...Lasers are simple?

"They are to us!... Also, that is rather illegal."

>As opposed to breaking and entering?"

"HRMPH! You reside on OUR land, we may go as we please!"

>That... seems kinda dictatorish. But anyway, did you need something? Chitty's not in, can I take a message? She'll be back in like, five minutes, but I don't think she'll want to talk then either.

"...Thou art lacking a bit for being in the presence of royalty."

>You guys all suck.

She blinked once, twice, three times, but it still made no sense. It was a simple statement, yet somehow she simply could not wrap her head around it.

"...Come again?"

1/2
>>
>>25811972

>You, royal guys, you all suck. Like... across the baord. Why would I be impressed by you? I hang out with Chitty all the time. She beat all of you guys.

"T'was a sneak attack against us! We were not defeated straight!"

>Newspapers said you tried to divebomb her.

"And what of it!?"

>Isn't that a sneak attack?

She held up her hoof, she opened her mouth, but she had surprisingly little to say to that.

>Uh huh.

"...HRMPH! Where is thine monster anyway? We wish to speak with her."

>She's out with Thirteen. It's cute! Thirteen was all like "Mom, I need you for something".

"We are so happy for the beast."

>Glad to hear it!

Again, the ex-prostitutes tone took quite a lot of the biting comments from the princesses retort.

"Well, if she is merely looking after her kin, I suppose there is little to be worried about."

>Yep!

"But be warned, mare, you ally yourself with a dangerous-"

>Got it!

"...She will quickly turn on you if-"

>Noted!

"...We are trying to protect you-"

>Wow, you are waaaayyyyyyy late on that one. Maybe when I had a pimp? Would've been really helpful there. But I know, you'd actually have to, ya' know, leave the cool place with all the rich ponies, I understand! I don't want to go back down there either.

She stared, her hoof and horn tingling as she felt the urge to slap the mare, or do something far worse.

But, instead, she took the high road, and decided now would be a good time to exit.

"Very well, but when one day the beast decides you are no more of worth to her than a wrapper of candy to be discarded, do not come to us for aide."

>Because you won't help me? Wow! That'll be new!

"...Hrmph."

In a swirl of starlight and sparkles, she vanished.

>...Phew! Okay, so, that was terrifying. Thought she was going to, like... shoot me. Hmph! Figures they only pull this when Chitty's not around... huh, what do you know.

Her visit had lasted exactly five minutes.

>Figures... you put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up..

"Woohoo! Great job, Chitty, ya killed god!"

>Of course, was there ever doubt I would succeed?

"Hey, what's that hole in the sky?"

>Oh that? That is your so-called Heaven, I demolished it to get to Faust.

"Uh...ain't that where good ponies are supposed to go?"

>Certainly I had to destroy their very souls in order to get your God to appear.

"Huh, well I bet ya made if quick."

>No, I had to cause quite a bit of suffering to get her to stop trying to 'make me see the error of my ways'.

"Well, I'm sure they had it coming."

>It was mostly unborn foals...and Variolus for some reason.

"..."

>Oh, and your grandma says hello, and you're a dumb bitch. So did your great grandmother, and your great great grandmother. Frankly, your whole line dating back to your first ancestor cursed your name as I granted them a final death.

"..."

>...So, monopony?

"Regrets. Very many regrets."
>>
>>25812153
Sweet Note as some rather serious issues with authority coming from the fact that never once did a guard look her way, never once did any of the Princesses try to do anything to make her city better, or any of the cities for that matter. She thinks all authority figures are like the typical priss assholes you see everywhere in Canterlot.
>>
>>25812187
...which is why I miss when she didn't feel that way, and think the story where that came about due to losing faith in AJ is a missed opportunity.

I mean yeah there is the idea of AJ going and making her corner of that one city better as a start to making a lot of places better, but until we go somewhere with it, it may as well be sombra's body.
>>
>>25812153
>I dunno. Sweet note is kinda coming off as a total bitch here.

She kinda is? She's been a snippy character since the start, she just got more in your face when Chitty had her back and even Princesses backed off.

>I'm not even sure why this exists except to be like 'royals suck, chitty rules'

Hopefully it's to have Luna go "HUH! When we neglect the poorest and the most vulnerable, they could come to idolize some really shitty individuals for no other reason than they'll actually help them out. Wow! We should probably do something about that!"

Maybe after Celly tells her Sweet Note used to idolize them and think them untouchable or something.

>I miss when they were still in the library and AJ had to decide what to do about it.

AJ did decide, she stuck to her guns and said "Too bad, you have to move." That's what disillusioned SN on the whole from the princesses. Well, one of the reasons. That Aj could go from a mare like her to just being like any of the rich fuckers who just plain didn't want to see 'ponies like her' around.
>>
>>25812222
No, I know she decided. I remember that part.

It's what her decision WAS that felt like a missed opportunity to me,

"Chrysalis"
~

She could fly.

It was something she rarely did. She did not need to think of it for a second to know it true. She liked her hooves on solid ground, she loved the feeling of the earth beneath her, she didn't like it above it all. She didn't like looking down on others, much less now of all times. But, for all she found she did not want it, she could not deny when she needed it.

When the dark shape charged her, and she could do nothing but flap her wings and fly.

Around the circle she went, still beneath the top of the cliff edge that marked the corners of the Castle's surroundings. Around and around, flying with all she had. She had never pushed herself this far before, never flown this fast before, never put so much into it before. She was learning now, figuring out the best way to flap her wings, the best angle for speed, everything totally on the fly. Many times, she could recall them trying to teach her, show her, instruct her on all of this. Many times, she had ignored them. She didn't need it, didn't want it. All she needed were her four hooves and all the moxie she could bring. That was all. Anything she needed, she could solve with those alone.

Maybe, even now, she could have. Maybe if she had a bit more time, she could figure out how to work some earth pony ingenuity to outsmart the ling on her tail, but there was too much on the line. Too much was being risked here, right now, for her to put on the line for a single chance of failure. She had to use everything, even these wings, if it meant her gift stayed out of the grasp of the one who would ruin her chance.

She only needed them the once, that was all.

"This has gotten stupid."

It still might not be enough.

The Changeling was faster than her, swifter than her, all around a superior to her in every way in the sky. She could follow every bank, every twist, every movement as easily as if she were strutting down an open road on a sunny day.

In the sky, she really was Queen.

1/3
>>
>>25813085

"You can't beat me up here, Applejack! You can't outrun me, you're just going in a circle! What are you hoping to accomplish?"

She noticed that. She had also noticed every single time she sought to go above the cusp of that cliff, a lance of green magic had forced her back down, fired over the tip of her hat every single time without fail. She knew this, she knew Chrysalis knew this, and it burned her as badly as if she had actually been hit by one of those beams.

"I think I've had enough of this."

She heard it, never needing to see it herself. he heard the strange sound of fire, the tingle of an odd magic, and the way her voice faded out as if the changeling were falling behind, as if she had stopped.

When the first signs of green entered her vision, she had already realized what was to come, and her mind was already miles away in panic.

There had to be something, that was all she could think. There had to be something she could do now, in this moment, before the Queen's grasped hold of her, before she took everything away. She thought back, to all her past experiences and lessons. She thought back to her training, to all the magic and powers her friends had tried to show her. She sought, in them, an answer.

She found nothing.

She found so little, so basic, there was nothing. Barely a memory at all, barely enough combined to fill the length of a particularly short brushing of her teeth in all her magic lessons. She had dismissed them, she had avoided them, she had ignored them.

She had nothing.

Nothing, when a dark hoof reached out from that fire, like a claw reaching from the depths of Tartarus to grab hold of her hopes and dreams and carry them away into the underworld to rest, nothing to fight back with or lean on. She had nothing.

>GET AWAY FROM ME!

Nothing, but her own horn, and her own wild throbbing as she pulled everything she had from it.

There was something.

2/3
>>
>>25813098

She heard it again, just as she had when she had struck the earth. A sound, a pulse, a feeling, something around her, something still, something alive. She heard it, in the tingle of her horn she felt it, in her desperation she called it.

Rocks exploded from her side, the wall of stone rupturing again and raining shrapnel upon the chitinous body. Or, it would have, had the magic of the changeling not blocked every rock, every stone, deflected so much as ever speck of dirt from touching her immaculate black chitin.

"Did you really think more rocks were going to-"

Her words failed her, just as they had before. This time, it was not force that took her words away, no blow to the chest, but shock.

For a brief second, shock at the strange thing that had wrapped itself around her hind leg.

"What the fu-"

Snap went the sound as the green thing sprouting from the wall grew taut, a snap that rang out and lashed with all it had to pull the Queen in. So surprised, so taken off guard, she had no time to call a single scrap of magic to her whim before she was smacked against the side of the cliff like a toy tossed by an errant child, with all the grace of one as well.

She had felt it, she had heard it, those things beneath the earth. It did not matter that she had wings, it did not matter that she had a horn, at the end of the day she was, she would always be, an earth pony.

And no pony knew roots like earth ponies.

"...Well, now I'm just mad."

The moment she heard that hiss, the moment she recalled how very close she was to losing her gift, the moment she remembered just who it was who had nearly taken everything from her, she knew.

The feeling was mutual.

There's a part of me that thinks somehow Chrysalis is going to almost die AGAIN and the apple will save her, at the cost of it's destruction.

"???"

He was drunk.

"Fuggen...riotsh...fuggen...shtupid bashtards..."

Very...very drunk.

"Who givesh a sssshit about shome pink jackasssh over in shiny shiny land? I wann' go to Losh Pegashush...get onna boat...to Haywaii...my beach...my shun...I jusht...why?"

This was pathetic.

She sat down beside him, trying not to let the burning stench of alcohol get to her. How long had he been there? How much of the bag full of bits in a wagon next to him on the floor of the bar had he spent.

No matter.

>You know, perhaps this is a sign.

He didn't look at her, he probably didn't even register whose voice had addressed him.

"Of fucken what? You shay karma an' I'll kick yer ash.."

>I rather doubt that. I mean perhaps this is a chance to show you that you have a higher calling in life.

"No sssshit."

>Perhaps what you're running from is what you were meant to do all along.

"Hate cleanin' floorsh..."

>Who said I was talking about that...

She leaned in to his ear.

>Snake Eyes?

His eyes snapped wide, he looked at her and nearly fell out of his chair.

"YOU!"

>Me.

"How!?"

>Really? You think I couldn't put two and two together that you'd managed to make it out? There were no casualties.

"Don't...you shaid my codename! In public!"

>The ponies of Canterlot are celebrating their moral victory. Far far away from here.

"...shit. No...no no no, you go away! You hear me!? I'm done! Done! I'm going-"

>To Haywaii? To your beach? To your paid floozies? How many times are you going to tell yourself that lie? You can't escape what you are, Snake Eyes, you never even wanted to.

"...leave...leave me alone..."

>You want that thrill, you want to do one more job, you want to satisfaction of getting away with anything. You think a bag of bits is going to change that? Please.

"..."

>>25816062
>Think about your options, Snake Eyes, you really want to lay forgotten on a beach? Or do you want to get whispered about, stories of so many ponies that just disappear, nobody knowing that it was all one single oh so clever pegasus that could do what they live in fear of changelings doing. Do you want to be a nobody?

She leaned in again, giving him a long hard stare.

>Or do you want to be The Nobody?

"..."

She smiled, slipping off the stool, plucking out a bit and dropping it in his bag.

>Offer's open, call that one last commission of your janitorial services: Cleaning up your garbage life.

She began to walk away.

"...wait."

She stopped, the croak of the drunken pegasus like music to her ears.

"...what'sh the job?"

Exhaling contentedly, she turned around and sat beside him once more.

>Tell me...what do you happen to know about what's under this mountain?

Excellent. This is overtaking the Gala as my favorite arc, and after such a slow start, too.

Now, though, I want to see Chrysalis lose her shit. Just completely lose it due to Applejack of all ponies overpowering her.

We've seen Applejack go through that countless times. I'd like to see that from our resident Queen Bitch.

"Wow, uh... while Ah' am a mite flattered ya' called me outta everyone, can Ah' suggest that maybe ya' go ta' the paperbug instead? She seems more like... she'd know what she was doin' in general, ta' be honest. Like, Ah'm not sayin' it wouldn't work in general, just that, ya' know, she'd probably outpace me a bit and give ya' a way better time."

>Awww, come on Applejack! You're just fine. More than fine, even.

"Now, see, ya' say that, but ya' ain't seen me during. Ah' mostly sit there and wait for whoever Ah'm with ta' tell me what ta' do and then kinda follow their lead."

>That's plenty for me, if I can join you in being honest. Cadence normally lets me handle almost everything, she just likes to sit back and let me do the hard part too.

"When she does it, you mean. Cause-"

>Because it almost never happens, yeah, I know...

"...Awww, shucks, fine."

>Really!?

"Yep, it's fine."

>Great! Oh, thank goodness, I thought I was going to go crazy just playing with myself, it didn't work at all!

"Yeah, sometimes ya' need somethin' a little more, Ah' get it. Now... how do ya' wanna get started? Ah've got all day, and nobody expects you or me back for hours. We can do anythin' ya' want... how do we start?"

"Chrysalis"
~~~

Not a word of what she had said before was exaggerated. In fact, upon reflection, the word 'mad' was simply far too mute an understatement.

"I've had enough of this shit!"

The wind beneath her wings carried her as fast and as far as she could, still within the confines of those constricting walls surrounding her. As before, she called to the roots beneath the ground, she called to the stones along the wall, she called to them, and she pulled them to her.

It was not refined, it was not controlled, it was little more than yanking with all she had and hoping that it would work. That it did was nothing less than a miracle. That it was so ineffective was nothing less than a crushing defeat.

The vines found themselves shredded, the stones destroyed, and even the dirt itself burned to glass beneath a searing heat of fire and power. She had ceased her game, her careful approach, and now charged her like a maddened bull, so angry red was clearly visible in those eyes even while she was tearing away as fast as she could.

The echoing sounds nearly deafened her, that horrible crunch of rock or snap of root or vine rocking in her skull as it bounced off the walls in vibrating waves. She hated it, she hated the sound, she hated the throbbing in her head, but she could not stop.

That green glow was getting closer, it was closing in, with every passing second it grew nearer and nearer.

>Ah' said get away!

They moved like snakes alive, twin ropes from the ground so thick they must have come from a massive tree. They rolled, becoming a shape she knew so well she could make one in her sleep, lassos the waved and rolled as they hovered above her head. She lashed out, aiming right for the leg to hold the changeling back, to snap her against the wall and break her as she had done before.

Instead, the only snap she received was that of the twine, both of them, breaking in two without even slowing her down.

"That is it!"

She was done.

1/4
>>
>>25819677

"I!"

She lashed out, shattering a boulder that had been tossed with a whip of green.

"Have had!"

In her rage, chitin proved stronger than stone, breaking one as well without a care.

"Enough!"

Plants hissed and sizzled, smoke rising into the sky as they were reduced to nothing more than cinders.

"Of this shit!"

One final move, one final attack, and she had to put everything she had into it.

One final move where she dug deep, deep inside of her, and called. She felt her free hoof, the one not holding the gift so dear, strain as it grasped something that was not there. She felt her muscles burn with pain as she brought out everything she had to bare, everything inside of her. She pulled, with all the fire inside of her and all the strength she had worked for, she pulled.

What came was not a rumble, it was a roar.

It was nothing less than a roar of destruction as a pillar, so tall it would not even fit in her office back in Canterlot, erupted from the side of the wall of the cliff. A massive, jagged monstrosity, circular and steady despite it's shape, roared out, and sought the changeling, it sought her to crush her and finally end her, with everything it had.

It sought, until it stopped, and was still.

Her heart sank, dropping like a broken bird as she watched the thing stop on a dime, held in place by magic not her own. Not matter how much she pushed, no matter how much she pulled, no matter how much she strained, the pillar would not move. Something, far stronger than she was, held it in place.

Something that glared at her, and snarled like a wild animal.

"ENOUGH!"

Chrysalis twisted that chitinous hoof, throwing it forward as if to point. Instead, the monstrous thing was hurled, leaving a gaping hole where it had been. She dodged, as quickly as she could, just long enough for it to fly over. She had missed that shot. She was safe, for a moment.

Then came the pain.

2/4
>>
>>25819682

Before she could blink, react, think at all, a hoof hooked under her chin, and struck her with such force she found herself bouncing against the stone like a rubber ball. She was stopped abruptly, held in place by more green flame, held still for just a second before the world became a blur as she was shot back to earth.

It hurt when she landed, it hurt like little else in her life had ever hurt before. She felt her back shoot with pain and she found it hard to breath.

The Queen, however, had no such issues as she landed, and marched forwards. No more slow walks, no more careful steps, marched with determination.

Through it all, she had never even loosened her grip on her gift. Now, with every step, that seemed almost useless.

Magic, all of her magic, rushed to her horn, only to be slapped away almost derisively, broken by a wash of magic beyond her own. That power knocked her down, held her down, would not let her so much as breath. That power took it from her, took the ability to fight back, and that was just the start.

Chrysalis was going to take it from her, and she couldn't stop it.

>Stop...

The changeling did not.

>Don't... don't you understand...

She marched on, hungry like a shark to it's prey.

>You can't...

In no time at all, she was over her, looming like a dark shadow about to blight out all the light in Equestria.

She reached down, reached to take it, and it almost over.

Everything was almost over.

>You need to stop!

The air that passed by following that was heavy, almost to the point of stillness.

>...w-wha...

It was only then, when she felt that cool breeze on her face, that she noticed the weight, the tingle in her hoof, had never left. Only then, could she find the strength to open her eyes and look.

Only then could she see the hoof hovering precious few inches above Equestria's salvation. Stopped in place, still and unmoving.

She could see it, and every twitch in it's chitin as it struggled to move.

3/4
>>
>>25819690

She did not think, not a second longer. She did not wait or pause, she lashed out. She bucked with everything her hooves had, finding purchase in the chitin on the Queen's chest, and casting her away as she had been cast away the day of the wedding, flying back until her back slammed hard into the still crumbling wall.

It hit her, far more powerfully than any blow the Queen could make, what that moment had meant. What that pause, that instant, had meant.

>Chrysalis...

She heard the Queen hiss, snarl and struggle to get the air back into her lungs, just long enough for a retort. The changeling didn't make one, in time.

That was okay.

She could fill in for her.

>Yer' gonna regret the day you ever met me.

“And just 'Armor' doesn't?”

“Which one? You have two and I have hobbies with both."

“…pfft.”

>Shut up!

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry- it's just… you're so serious about it….”

>Protection is a serious business, one I don't take lightly, Shining.

“I know. Trust me, I know. That's what makes it so funny.”

>Look, all I'm trying to say is this little fetish for drowning you've somehow roped my Alpha into, it better not-

“Technically! Technically, Jet, she started that with me first. She roped ME, not the other way arou-"

>How it started or who started it doesn't matter. All that matters is how it continues. And it better continue on amicably, if you catch my drift.

“The fact that you're worried about an immortal being like Celly being fatally drowned is both funny and sad. Funny because you think she can be done in like that. And sad that you think she can be done in like that.”

>…Just watch over her. Okay?

“Like you need to ask.”

>Good. Now then, secret missions to do, enemies of the shadows to see off, I'll take my leave for now, Armor and-

~Ponyville~
~~~

They knew it. Not a one of them needed to look at the clock, they just knew it.

The moment the skinny, sickly looking ling stood up, they knew it.

>Times up, pony.

He winced, trying not to let it show, failing miserably.

"We've got a minute thirty left!"

>No, you don't.

"...My watch is fast, do you mind if we hold off on this while I go get it fixed-"

>Mom?

The Queen rose to her full, massive height, standing so far above them all she cast the smaller ling in shadow.

>Go find him.

"That... thaaat does not seem like a good idea-"

'No, what was a bad idea was waiting this long in the first place. Move.'

This was it, the captain knew. This was his one, his only, chance to stop her. It wasn't much, it wasn't even assured, but it was his only chance.

"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to step back or-"

'Nevermind, I forgot how short you were.'

It was only a little painful to his pride that she literally just stepped over him as if he were a crack in the road, and headed towards the town. It was just a little humiliating.

Just a little.

"Look out for the-"

~OH CRAP!~

~DIVE!~

They did, every one of the mob dived out of the way as she stomped past, unabated or caring to anyone in her way. With even that final barrier gone, there was nothing to stop her now.

He had to try.

"What are you planning to do!? Search every home?"

'Hrm.'

~OH CRAP! Is there anyone in town to like, lock the doors or something?~

~...~

~You know, I don't think we thought this mob thing through.~

~Spur of the moment, yeah.~

While they panicked, something else had come to the captain of the guard. It wasn't much, but it was something.

"CHITANIA! I'll have you know it's illegal to search random homes, breaking and entering is just as illegal for you as it is for anyone else! If you try it, I'll-"

'Ineffectually fight me and get sent home in a shoebox. I know, trust me, I know. Feel free to try it at any point.'

>>25820176

She continued on, uncaring, not even bothering to look back at him.

[Captain? What... what should we do?]

He didn't know, really. He didn't have a plan, he didn't have an idea, he didn't know.

"...Your mother is going to have to pay for wrecking the town, you know."

>She can live with that.

"I'm serious! If she wrecks this town, there won't be any way to fix this situation!"

>She doesn't need to wreck it, or break anything. She'll have him in a minute, stop whining.

He had no idea what she could possibly mean by that, or in what possible scenario she could find him without breaking anything, but it didn't matter at all.

Whatever she thought it was, she didn't believe it.

"...Guards!"

{Sir!}

"Stay here, do your jobs and hang on!"

{Sir? What are you going to do? What can you do!?}

He tore off, full tilt, running as fast as he possibly could. Trying to catch up with her, trying to do something, trying to just be noticed at all. To them, to those wondering what the soldier had asked, he had only a single response.

It was short, it was sweet, and it was as honest as he had ever been in his life.

"I have no idea!"

She's been really careful to not do that up to this point because it would cancel her amnesty.

She hasn't actually broken the law yet, and 13 said

>She doesn't need to wreck it, or break anything. She'll have him in a minute, stop whining.

So presumably she's not actually going to be rooting through ponies houses, she has a way to locate him somehow.

....which she does, now that I think about it, she found them back when she got let loose too, that's why she ended up in Canterlot, but it's not precise unless she's close by.

She did when she had access to the library, if this whole mess ends up with her being banned from it, she gives no fucks about anything. She only played nice so she could continue on without being harassed.

>>25820416
Also that, she's had changeling-finders since the first thread she showed up in. Specifically, for drones, she can't locate Queens or she would have noticed that Chrysalis wasn't there.

>Twilght
‘Spike’
“dash”

We join our intrepid trio on the plains of Equestria.

“uh…Twilight? You ok? Sure you want to do this again?”

>AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA Why ever do you ask such a ridiculous question CAPTAIN DAAAAAAAASHIE!?

…The mare had seen better days. Eyes twitching, mane disheveled, a grin of madness plastered across her face.

‘Uh..twilight? maybe calm down a bit?’

>Calm. CALM!? How can I be calm when I’ve finally got it! This time! This time for sure! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! BEHOLD! The FLIGHTAPULT!

She gestured to the siege weapon behind her.

“That’s a catapult.”

>So it appears to the UNTRAINED eye! To those of us who UNDERSTAND, like me and Spike here, it is CLEARLY a FLIGHTAPULT! SPIKE! Put this on!

She roughly shoved a package at the dragon, who complied out of fear more than anything.

‘O-ok twilight, but…what am I putting on?’

>A wing Suit! And Heat vision goggles!

‘….whyyyyyyy?’

>BECAUSE! This system is 3 stage! First! The flightapult will hurl you into the sky! SECOND! You deploy the wingsuit to glide away! THIRD! You use the goggles to find thermals rising from the ground to gain height and continue gliding indefinitely! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

“…no.”

>Excuse me!?

‘No. That is not how that works. Spike. Don’t do this. You will die.”

>Do it spike! You don’t want to disappoint your big sister and waste her hard work do you!?

“Seriously. Death will be the result of this. You will not survive.”

>Pish posh! She doesn’t know science! *I* know science! This will of course work! It has to.

“I may not know Science, but I DO know flying! This will not fly!”

>It will!

“Won’t!”

>Will!

“Won’t!”

>WILL!

“WON”T”

‘HEY!’

They stopped and looked at him.

‘It’s my call right? I’ll give it a shot’

>YES!

The purple mare ran off to prepare the Flightapult.

“…”

‘…What?’
>>
>>25820566
“What shall I tell Aj and rarity your last words were?”

‘If I don’t make it out of this. Tell those mares I said ‘Hello’.’

“Be Serious!”

‘I really don’t expect to die here.’

“You think this will WORK!?”

‘Not remotely. But hey, I’m getting to know the nurses really well, so there’s that.’

“Ugh! You’re an idiot!”

>Spike! We’re ready!

‘Coming! It’ll be fine dash, you’ll see.’

He walked over to the catapult and got in.

>Ready to FLY!?

‘Ready!’

>Then I’ll pull the lever in launch seconds!

‘Wait, wha-‘

>LAUNCH!!

And the dragon flew. Launched into the air by the Flightapult he quickly reached the apex of his flight and against all odds and many of the laws of physics opened his wingsuit up and began to glide.

“…whut.”

>it’s a flight! IT”S A FLIIIGHT!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

‘Huh. This is working oddly well…oh hey is that a thermal?’

Catching the uprising warm air the dragon spiraled higher and higher into the sky allowing him to stay in the air and continue his flight.

“this cannot be happeneing.”

>Well it is so SUCK IT!

He flitted back and forth through the air. Moving from thermal to thermal flying as free as a hawk.

>At last….

Finishing his trial flight he guide himself down to a gentle stop landing on his feet.

‘Wow twilight! That worked great!

>I’m so glad! Now I can get back to my other projects! And you can get back to your paperwork without lengthy hospital stays!

‘…Right. That’s…that’s great.’
>>
>>25820571
>Great! I’ll just go pack up the Flightapult and we can check this off the list!

She turned her back and walked over to the flightapult beginning to pack it up never noticing the downcast expression on the dragon’s face, or his eyes darting back and forth as he thought through what he was going to do next.

<Ha-fwoo>

<FWOOSH>

He set the flight suit on fire and it went up like a bush drenched in gasoline.

‘Oh no twilight! The flightsuit burnt up! I guess this wouldn’t work after all!’

>WHAT!?

‘Well I mean, what if I got hit by lighting? I’d plummet out of the sky on fire. This obviously won’t work.’

>R-right….right….

It hurt to see her so downtrodden. To see the wind go out of her sails. But it had to be done.

‘Back to the drawing board I guess?’

>yeah…

The saddened mare slumped and began slowly walking back to the castle.

“…why?”

‘…Look, I don’t get to spend a lot of time with twilight anymore, y’know? We used to be inseparable but now….I just wanted an excuse to spend more time with her. I’ll go get her her favorite ice cream and she’ll perk right back up and start on some new crazy way to get me in the air, and we’ll hang out for a little longer.’

The stricken blue Pegasus looked at him in disbelief, then pulled him into a hug,

“You Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Sorta Sweet, Needy, Stupid, Stupid,

‘Dash?’

>AJ
"Chrysalis"
~~~

She didn't know why, she couldn't understand how, she was lost to explain what had changed.

>Ya' don't wanna take another step.

All she knew was that when she felt that tingle, that power in her hooves again, when she saw that once again raging Queen pause mid-step, she felt something. She felt something special, something she hadn't felt in a very, very long time. Something that no amount of words could ever describe, nothing could compare to the simple sight of watching her pause.

"Why don't I, now?"

She knew she was pushing her luck now, just as she had before, she knew that in all likelyhood she had done something special that time, something she had missed, she understood the risks, all of them.

>Because there's a bomb right in front of you.

She took them, gladly, gambled away with all the abandon of a reckless colt in a casino.

When that chitinous body wretched back, terrified of the thing only she knew to be there, she heard the celebratory sounds of a jackpot playing in her mind. She even savored it, just for a second, that wonderful feeling with her again, before she stamped her hoof, and drove a spire right into the unguarded backside of the changeling, sending her sprawling in a panic towards what she thought would spell her doom.

Flame of emerald power carried her away before the 'bomb' could take hold, just as she knew the Queen would, and once again said royal was on the attack, directly behind herself and floating in the air on wings that flapped rapidly to compensate for the new height.

She divebombed, honed in like a missile now. She could see something in the brief instant she had to look into the Queen's eyes, a look buried away in those depths, a look of confusion and determination. Chrysalis could not tell, even now, what was going on, or how she had done something as complicated as planting a bomb, and she sought to end it, now.

>Don't go forwards, because Ah'm to yer' left.

1/4
>>
>>25823213
She banked abruptly, slamming into the wall like a drunkard off her rocker in her quest to attack the pony she knew for a fact to be there. She recovered quickly, far too quickly, looking around in a haze before spotting her again in the same spot she had been, and attacking once more. All pretenses gone, magic of green charged atop her skull, and she prepared to fire.

>Motion spells are up above me.

Fire she did, at absolutely nothing but air, a lance of green energy cutting the wind and not a thing else. But the tilt of her head offered something, in the end.

An open chin, just waiting for Kicks M'gee to come to meet it.

The changeling cried out in pain as she was rocked back, struggling to stay afloat just before another attack came in the form of a chunk of wall ripped free to be cast at her. She instinctively blocked, faster than even it's speed could match.

>That rock is made of marshmallow.

Only to let her guard down an instant before it struck, thinking it harmless.

It was not.

"Son of a bitch!"

So much confusion, Chrysalis could not grasp a bit of it, so much pain, apparent from all she had taken thus far, so much.

And she was just getting started.

>Somethin's attacking from below!

Of course, all her attention immediately went down, just before a vine up above ripped free and whipped her painfully across the back, slamming her down into the ground before coiling around her waist and whipping her back up and into the very top of the high walls, shattering the top and sending rubble out into the Everfree forest.

The Queen teleported free, already on the move, but no matter where she came from it simply did not matter.

When she felt the magic of telekinesis grab her, when she saw the new vantage point of the Queen, she reacted with nothing but words.

>Yer' grabbin' the wrong Applejack, real one is behind you.

It was all she needed.

2/4
>>
>>25823223

The Queen turned, expecting to find another Applejack directly where she knew her to be. Instead, she found nothing but the pillar that Applejack had made before. Far more mobile than it had been before, as well.

The Queen blocked, holding back with all her might against the massive shape pressing down on her, but it would not be enough.

>That ain't gonna work.

Her words needed no magic to be proven true. Instead, roots of trees hundreds of years old did so, wiggling and twisting around both ends and pulling with all the magical might she could bring. Against the pull of gravity and magic, the Queen could not stand.

Had she not seen the ring of red on in the center, watched the stone so massive split in two around her and the beam of ethereal green light shooting up into the sky, she might've been worried if that would be more than a simple injury.

Instead, when she saw the Queen consumed in rage, she wished it had been.

The Queen hovered there, so angry, so unhinged growling with blood and spit. Magic, so much magic, ready to be unleashed. So much, she felt the heat all the way at the bottom of that cliff. So powerful her hairs stood on ends, she watched as the Queen brought everything to her call.

When she saw the very first, tiny flickers of flame, she knew what she had to do.

>Chrysalis? That last attack caused a methane leak, iffin' ya' use any flames at all it's gonna blow.

That was the very first time she had ever seen the Queen diffused, both figuratively or literally. Her magic, almost all of it, from teleportation or otherwise, produced a flame image. If that flame meant it was volatile, she knew the Queen would not be prone to find out.

"...Fine. I'll do it the hard way!'

She tore off, wings positively abuzz so fast they could barely be seen as she charged down flying with reckless abandon towards herself.

Strangely, she never felt worried.

>Iffin' ya' fly anymore, yer' wings are going to pop right off.

3/4
>>
>>25823247

It had something to do with the image of her eyes bugging out in fear, and her wings ceasing to move as if hit by a freezing spell. Chrysalis fell, she fell right towards her, no magic, no flight.

Nothing to protect the Queen, when she brought out a power neither had ever seen before. Of magic swirling around her hooves, wrapping them in a thing of the earth, binding them in something solid and grassy, just to give them that last little bit of oomf.

That last little bit she punched right into the side of the Queen's face.

She watched as Chrysalis rolled, and rolled, and rolled. She watched, until at last she came to a painful, shaking stop.

The changeling lie there in pain. Just for a moment, before she rose to chitinous hooves again. The Queen was still ready to fight.

She had to take that from her.

>Yer' magic ain't gonna work after that hit.

With that, any magic being called was gone.

>Yer' wings will pop off iffin' ya' try ta' fly.

As did the faint buzz on her back.

>Yer' teleport will set off the gas that will kill you.

That one only to be sure.

>...Ya' can't beat mah' magic.

That was it, that was everything. She had removed any obstacle, any possible retaliation, from the Queen. With this, she had won.

>Iffin' ya' keep fighting... yer' gonna lose.

Even without the apple, she knew it to be the truth now. There was no denying it, now, or ever again. She knew that if she were to fight, she would lose.

The Apple had done the impossible, she had made Chrysalis, with all her power, a non issue. Even with all her magic and strength, she had not been able to fight her, let alone even touch her. This Apple would work on anyone, any foe as low as a colt or as powerful as Discord, she could handle them all now.

She could save Equestria from any fight, without throwing a single blow.

And now, it was time to end her very first one.

>It's pointless to keep fighting. You want to give up.

It was almost done.

"...it's true."

>>
>>25823305
The goddamn EOH are less broken than that thing, at least with them you need all six!
>>
>>25823266
My educated guess is that Chrysalis is going to hold a speech how she DOES want to give up, how everything around her crumbling and everyone hating her and her species is driving her close to completely forfeiting.

And then she'll either tell AJ that she will never give In to that impulse while beating her shit in or AJ will realize she went too far and relent the power.

Third option is propably BAD END wherein changes the world forever.

That sound about right? Mind, I am only guessing because I am completely enraptured by the current development, not to be an ass.
>>
>>25823266
Epic. Truly epic.

Now. Will Applejack continue and lose herself? Perhaps offer a helping hoof on the stipulation that Chrysalis leave her apple be? Or will Chrysalis somehow gain the upper hoof?

So many ways this could go.....

See, thats the point.
All that power hinges on being able to implant the 'truth' into your opponent, mostly by voice.

You cant listen without working eardrums..

All this is predicated on the notion that chrysalis figures out what is going on and immediately figures out a workaround.

"Chrysalis"
~~~

"...it's true."

That should have been the end.

The undeniable truth, burned into her, seared into Chrysalis's mind as unassailable, cast there with all the unbeatable magic of the tree of harmony. The changeling knew this now as nothing less than fact, that it was pointless, and that she wanted to give up. Thoughts of doing this to anyone, any foe, were already in her mind as she looked back to her wonderful gift, to the thing that even now still throbbed that off red color as it lie in her hooves.

With this, any opponent, any of them, could be defeated before they ever started, a few words all that would be needed to end a fight before it ever began. No matter what the foe, no matter how grand, she could merely speak to them and end it. No fight, no argument, nothing at all, just some words. And even if they sought to fight anyway, she could defeat them all the same, just as easily. She would not have to even try, she could simply win by speaking at them until they broke themselves, no effort, no battle.

The Apple answered all that she had asked of it, and so much more. She had wanted a way to fix Equesteia's current problem, but it could do so much more. From now on, she could tell them that they wanted to do their jobs right, and make hers so much easier. File all their stuff right, that they wanted to obey every law, she could tell them to do everything. One speech, and Equestria was fixed. Now, and forever. There would be no more sliding back, no more struggling to get it right, it was simply done.

She had asked, she had received. Now she would bring harmony to the world.

And she would be honest the whole way.

She knew that was why she, of all of them, had been chosen. She had been gifted specifically, because she was going to be honest the whole way. It really was better if they didn't fight, if they stopped being suspicious of the changelings, if the changelings just wanted to merge in peacefully.

That was the truth.

1/6
>>
>>25830311

That's what she was going to say to them, the truth, and then they would know it was the truth. All this Apple took away was the doubt, nothing more. All it did was remove the suspicion. Frankly, she thought the whole world could do better off without that anyway.

She would prove it.

"Yeah... I do want to give up..."

Just as soon as this was done.

The Queen ran, just as she expected her to. She had known from the start that the instant she heard that she could not win, she would run away with tail between her legs, she would run away like a scared animal when she faced a foe she could not force into submission. She knew she was going to run from the start.

There was just one problem.

>What in tarnation are you doing!?

She was running the wrong way.

>You can't win, dang it!

She swiped with her free hoof, power coursing through it to split the ground she had dragged a plow across it, dirt flying everywhere as the unseen attack struck towards her foe. The changeling leapt, those long legs providing just enough jump to get her up over it, letting it pass her by without being so much as scratched.

She tried again, stamping her hoof to summon more stones to her call, hurling them with a flick of her neck. Again, the changeling was too quick, bending too low or sliding to fast to the side to catch. She was so fast, so lithe thanks to her lanky form, not a one could find purchase. She was so fast, thanks to those legs that covered so much ground in single strides.

So fast, In the few seconds she had spent shocked, the Queen was already upon her.

>Get away!

The Queen struck, a blow aiming right for her hat covered head. Instinctively, she blocked with her free limb, knowing that it would not be enough, trying to call whatever magic she had to defend her.

She heard a crack, and for a moment, she thought herself ended.

When her eyes opened up, and she saw why she felt no pain in her hoof, she thought of something else.

"What the fuck..."

2/6
>>
>>25830316

The chitinous hoof strained, trying to force it's way past, but it could not. Bark of some kind had enshrouded the limb she sought to get past, and had blocked every scrap of the blow. It was cracked, and damaged, but it would not break.

>Ah' said... get back ya' friggen bug monster!

She lashed out, a crack of her own sounding in with the cry of pain let out by the changeling. The last of that defensive plating shattered with the force of the magic, not that she needed it anymore. Chrysalis was cast away yet again, a brand new bruise to show for her efforts.

But she would not stay down.

She rose again, she charged again, not a second of hesitation.

>Ah' said get back!

Into the ground she slammed her hoof, and from that earth a massive plate of stone as wide as the cliff itself sprung up, completely sealing off the pathway between them. With no way there, she dared to hope that the Queen would get the hint.

Instead she heard scraping, and grunting, and noises that made her head throb even more with anger just before she saw a mossy green mane poke itself over the top of the hill, heralded by a horn of obsidian. Bringing with it, of all things, rocks.

The Queen hurled a spear of jagged stone the moment she crested.

She called, just as she had before, for assistance. She cast no spell, she did not control it, her magic simply went wild, and she did not need to move an inch when that spear shattered harmlessly against her new chest plating.

>You can't win.

She felt it wrapping around her, barley waiting for it to finish before she shot forwards on a single burst of her wings. With speed the Queen could not match on hooves alone, she struck, knocking her clear off that new wall with such force she met the painful stones of the cliff before she fell back to earth.

She hovered there, her wings beating to keep her steady as she glared down at the Queen. The one that, despite all her new injuries, would not stay down.

3/6
>>
>>25830322

The one who, yet again, raced up the side of the wall, and charged her.

>You can't win!

She struck, but she did not land on Chitin as expected. Nor did the Queen reach her. No, she fell short, causing her to swipe at nothing at all. In the air, the Queen's wings flared out, but to her surprise she did not push her luck and attempt to fly, or even glide.

Instead, a rope, made of one of the many vines she had created, fell loose, wrapping itself around her hoof in an impressive, if shoddily made, lasso.

Before she could take a second to admire it, she was was pulled to the ground by the Queen's superior weight. If said Queen had been hoping that she would smack into the ground as she had before, she was to be sorely disappointed. She landed on all four hooves, steady and strong. Angry, at the most.

And what better way to vent that anger, than on the Queen that charged her the moment all four hooves touched with a flurry of blows so fast it was hard to follow.

But follow she did, be it exhaustion or her new power, she could follow every blow, dodge them, and strike back with more power than the Queen could bare. She was nearly broken, from just that shot alone.

She would not stay down.

The moment it seemed she was about to try again with close combat, she stamped her hoof in command, and all around her roots erupted from the ground and began to swirl, creating a never ending, chopping barrier between her and the Queen.

>You can't win! This is all pointless! This ain't gonna work! You're just gonna hurt yourself and not accomplish anything!

Her hoof panged with every command, every truth. For she needed no magic in order to make them so, they were the truth, and nothing less. Chrysalis would only hurt herself if she did not stop.

She did not stop.

She charged, right into those whipping vines, and grabbed hold.

>You're gonna lose!

4/6
>>
>>25830331

Chrysalis was swung around and around, rising up higher and higher as more more magic was poured into those vines, more magic that made them rise up until they crested the cracked and broken barriers around the edge of the cliff.

"I know already!"

If only her words had matched her actions.

She couldn't keep the twitch from her eye as she watched the Queen at last reach the very tip of the roots, and hopped up. She couldn't keep the growl from her teeth as she watched that Queen slide down, riding her vines with careful precision. She couldn't keep the anger from making her slam her hoof down just a second before the Queen reached low enough she could leap free and attack her.

Leap, she did, but all she found were the roots closing in before she could make it an inch lower, and slapping the bug pony into the dirt at her side like a massive flyswatter.

Still, the moment she could push those roots away, she rose up, and struck again, the blow glancing off that wonderful new armor.

>Ah'... said...

She did not know what she was reaching for when she pawed at the ground, but when her hoof found purchase in a root, she did not question it.

>YOU NEED TO GIVE UP!

She swung forwards, dirt erupting with her movement as she pulled something free. Chrysalis tried to block, more instinctive than conscious, but she may as well have held paper to a cannon ball. When the hammer of stone struck, she merely crumpled like any other.

>Stay down.

Every time she tried to rise, she hammered her again, literally.

>Stay down!

Every time she tried to get up, another blow.

>STAY DOWN AH' SAID!

Every time, until she finally stopped.

>...you need to give up.

She heard a wheeze, she heard a gasp.

Then, she heard laughter.

"I know... I can't."

>Why the heck not!?

She heard no answer, saw nothing in the prone changeling, no movement of any kind.

>Ah' said, why!?

Despite herself, she was curious, she needed to know.

>Answer me-

It burned.

5/6
>>
>>25830341

It was fine in a second, burning in the next. Something right into her eyes, something thrown too fast from her prone opponent just before she could react. She felt the burn, right in her eyes.

>YOU BUG MONSTER VARMIT!

She poured everything she had into that attack, one so massive that she heard everything shatter, break and crumble, she heard everything break as she unleashed everything, all her power, all her magic, in front of her.

Soon, only the sound of stone falling against stone, and the sound of dirt pouring through cracks was all she could hear. Only that, and silence.

"...H-hah!"

Silence that was murdered, killed, slaughter by that damned laugh, directly behind her. She had jumped past, just before the blast could take her.

>Ya'll never want to do that stupid laugh again.

She commanded, as she had before, and she waited.

But the tingle of power never reached her hoof. Only now, in her panic, did she notice the weight had left it as well.

>...no...

She brushed the substances from her eyes. She had to see it, she had to know.

"H-...hah..."

She had to see the Queen, on her side, on the ground.

Clutching the Apple in her hooves.

"I always hated apples."

Her heart, her everything, locked in frozen terror as she watched the green start to form around that black, deadly horn.

>NOOOOOOOOOOO!

She called it, every bit of magic she had left, every scrap of power these damned wings and horn could give her.

But it would not be fast enough.

The Queen had already charged, and fired a ball of green.

"...Well, shit."

A ball of green that fizzled against it, useless.

"Guess I'm... out of power.... h-hah..."

Her magic left in relief, but she was not done.

>Chrysalis... either you give me that apple right now...

Her throat burned, her limbs shook beneath her armor, but she stayed strong.

She brought her new make-shift hammer before her, and glared.

>Or Ah'm gonna kill you.

She did not need the apple.

The Queen knew it was the truth.
>>
>>25830358
Oh shit, I just realized how close we are to the end.... fuck! This is almost done! I just need a few more and AJ's story can come to a satisfying close!

I know I'm holding stuff back, I'm sorry, but I'm so close I promise! I'm so close to the end! This might not make it before auto bump, but if this continues into the next thread it'll just be the very start. I wanted it to end this thread, but you know. Star wars talk.

Sorry, but it is almost over! We're almost at the end of this crazy line, and believe it or not, NOW is when shit gets introspective!

In actually kinda sad to see it go.

Holy shit, so many creative uses of her magic for such basic powers, so much cool action, and we get to see AJ like we've never before.

In honestly trying to imagine what Chrysalis is thinking though all of this.

I'm fucking rooting for Chrysalis. The moment she kept fighting, I actually wanted to see her beat my waifu. I betrayed my waifu out of seeing some straight up unstoppable determination.

Out in the barren hallway, in a room of pitch black, she saw them.

So many, many eyes.

Something, in the dark, clicked.

She hasn't won yet, she's out of power and AJ's about to go full Hammertime on her.

There will literally never be a better time.
