Manos the Hands of Fate

>>27985581
>You are Blackout
>the parasite has been quieter since her recent encounter with death.
>and your short heart to heart with her has left you feeling more than a little uncomfortable with talking to her about it.
>the sounds of combat inside the city have slowed down to a mere fraction of what they were before
>even from this far away inside a forest you can tell the battle has reached its end.
>You turn your attention over to Queenie
"Its calming down. It wont be long until we will be able to regroup with the Reichs forces and possibly see Manos again."
>still the changeling remains silent, but she does smile slightly
>its an improvement.
>moments later you spot ponies rushing away from the city dropping armor and gear that now only weighs them down
>with the unorganized retreat of so many Royal Guard ponies rushing every which way out of Vanhoover you nearly miss the sight above
>entire formations of the Lunar Guard are flying above the clouds
>their numbers seem relatively the same as when they assaulted the city
>whats more, there is no sign of fear in their retreat, its well organized and almost casual.
>perhaps they just fared better than the royals?
>unlikely...
>but you know a way to find out.
"Queenie, we have work to do. Once we are done we can head back to the Reich, alright?"
>"Alright... What are we going to do Blackout?"
>you point to the closest pony to your current position
"we are going to catch that pony and find out what happened."

>your legs are burning as you fall back from that damned city
>every step you took in its direction more and more death waited for you and your friends.
>and you are MORE than happy to get away from it no matter what punishment might be waiting for you
>though you are uncertain of where to go or what your punishment might be for leaving the princess behind you do know one thing
>its a really bad time to be Morning Dawn

>>27985596
>looking back to the ponies rushing away further behind, you can hear muffled 'bangs' before seeing the occasional pony drop
>you cant believe it!
>even now when the battle is over and your brothers and sisters are running away they are still shooting at you.
>you then realize that you stopping in this open field to catch your breath is only going to get you killed.
>without any real sense of direction you start pumping your legs again making sure to make yourself as hard a target to hit as you can
>heck, even you don't know where you are going. How is anypony else supposed to know?
>a patch of dirt just ahead of you pops from the ground and less than a second later the muffled noise of a weapon firing in the distance greets you
"NO NOnonono!"
>there is a sudden pain in your leg and the sound is heard again
>you fall to the ground in pain, but hold still.
>if you are lucky, he will assume you are dead.
>the pain in your leg is increasing as it is all you can concentrate on
>you can feel blood leaking through your coat and your wound is burning now that your sweat has had time to seep into the wound.
>once you hear the sound of the attacker turn onto another unlucky guardspony you make your move and rush as fast as you can towards a small forested area
"thank Celestia!"
>eventually you make it inside deep enough that you are sure to not be a target
>you can now tend to your wound in relative safety
>with your magic you do your best to clean the area around the bloodied area when you notice something
>there is no exit wound, and it doesn't take a doctor or medical pony to know what that means.
>holding your leg and levitating a stick to your mouth you take deep breaths and reach inside the wound with your magic you try to pull the projectile out
>within a few seconds you locate it and remove it nearly breaking the stick from biting down too hard on it
>holding the projectile up to your eyes you spit out the stick and smile

>>27985600
>if your mother was here she would no doubt be proud that you were finally able to take care of one of your booboos on your own.
>You really miss your mother... but she chose her side.
>before you let it bother you too much you pull a small cloth from your uniform you wrap it around your leg tightly before picking yourself back up
"okay Dawn, where to now?"
>your ears snap up as the sound of a broke twig rather close behind you catches your attention
>as you turn to look you see a pair of glowing predatory eyes staring back
>slowly you back away from the eyes
"e-easy now... I promise I taste horrible."
>the creature steps forward from the shadow of the forest and you realize just how serious this is.
>what is hunting you is a Changeling Queen.
>as you keep stepping backwards you bump into somepony
>before you can react you are knocked to the ground and you can feel the pressure of a hoof on your back
>"Good job Queenie. Now we can find out just what happened."
>the Changeling Queen loses her fearsome appearance and instead takes one of worry.
>>"Just- Just let me know if we have to..."
>the changeling is cut off by the other voice
>"Don't worry. I'm sure he will be a good boy and tell us what we want to know."
>the hoof on your back lifts off and it is placed on your recently wrapped wound
>"or he might get a little uncomfortable."

>you are Celestia, Captive of the Black Hands and Manos.
>despite being a prisoner you have been kept very close to Manos and Cadence
>which right now has you standing atop a large open building, giving you a good view of the surrounding area
>from here you can see the civilian ponies of Vanhoover have been receiving medical treatment and care from the Black Hands as Manos had ordered
>though you have also noticed that whenever his attention is on something else, the quality of that care seems to drop.
>what could he have done to make these ponies so uncaring of others?

>>27985621
>your thoughts are put to an end by the voice of Manos
>"what do you think Celestia?"
>the other ponies as well as Manos are all looking at you.
"I'm sorry, but I was distracted."
>Cadence huffs disapprovingly at you before giving an answer of her own
>>"The citizens should come first, they will need shelter and care that will likely take more time and effort than we are used to. After all they have been inside a dome since the start of this conflict, and those who weren't have likely lost more than we can replace."
>now you really wish you knew what the question was, though you can assume it was about what to do with Vanhoover.
>Manos gives a very collected and slow nod of agreement before looking over the damaged port section of the city
>"You are right, the repair of the production and economic areas of the city can wait, though the port will be the next priority without a doubt."
>>"are you anxious to see your friend Lyra again?"
>Manos smiles down to Cadence then back to the port
>"I can say, that is one of the more personal reasons I wanted this city so badly... She has been gone a long time and I have lost enough friends to know how important their company is."
"and yet you started this war and tore family and friends apart..."
>if Manos heard you he shows no signs of it.
>"Have the construction crews begun their work yet?"
>one of the Black Hands escorting your group gives a salute
>>>"Yes Lord Manos, the first task they were given was to clear debris from the city center an work their way out."
>"Good, once they are completed inform the Hands in charge that they are to start repair and construction of the civilian housing areas. Then to move on to the rest of the city as we discussed."
>with another salute the pony in uniform leaves to carry out his new orders.
>its still hard to believe that each of them used to be the happy citizens of Equestria before Manos arrived.
>they used to be your little ponies.

>>27985634
>you are Great Comrade Glimmer
>the tome you were provided by those lowly criminals has been a great boon for you and your ponies
>well... mostly you.
"Green, Flower, Quill-"
>your guards stand by while some of your more trusted Unicorns observe as you continue a long forgotten spell.
>your horn glows brightly as you eye each of the subdued ponies before you.
>the same ponies that brought you this very tome.
"Hills, House..."
>you take a short breath and close the book as you speak the last word.
"Magic."
>then you release the spell onto the test subjects
>for a moment each of them glow with the aura of your magic and any signs of worry, confusion, or fear vanish.
>you smile and turn to your comrades
"this spell that I have show you dates back to a time before the fall of Discord. It is a very unique spell, and no pony is really sure who first created it."
>the observers mumble quietly as you levitate the book up for them to see
"in fact, as far as Equestria or pony kind knows, this is the only written record of that spell, and its very existence was up for debate."
>"but... Comrade, what does the spell actually do?"
>one of your guard ponies takes a step towards the questioning unicorn with a unsavory glare in his eyes.
>but before he can do the questioner any harm you wave him away, and he takes his place back where he once stood
"I'm glad you asked."
>looking over your shoulder you politely say
"please remove the restraints from the subjects."
>the guard from before speaks up with a bit of hesitance in his voice
>>"are you certain comrade? they will likely resist once they are free."
"Don't worry about that. The spell should have everything under control."
>the guard pony looks over the binds before eventually untying them one by one
>to the surprise of the onlookers, they remain seated.
>that is until you speak.
"Stand."
>all at once, like little toy soldier-ponies; they stand up and wait for instruction
>"remarkable!"

>>27985644
>an overly curious unicorn approaches one of the controlled ponies and taps him with his hoof
>the subject doesn't react other than a brief side glance before returning to his previous position
>"does the spell give you full control over them? or does it just offer a strong suggestion? he was still able to glance over at me, so that would indicate some level of independent thought. perhaps-"
"Doctor Cognition, please. One question at a time."
>the Doctor grins in embarrassment and steps away from the pony he was examining with his head bowed
>his brown mane gently covering his left eye while a slightly cracked lens of his glasses covers his other
>"forgive me Comrade. It just in all my years of mental and magical study I have not come across a spell with this effect. Sure there are a few out there that might influence a subjects interest in a particular object or activity-"
>you cut the doctor off mid ramble before he gets momentum
"Doctor."
>he stops himself, realizing you intended to speak.
>he quickly rejoins the other Unicorns waiting for your explanation to being
"Thank you."
>after a short clearing of your throat you begin
"what this spell does, Doctor. Is not just suggest that the subject do as the caster asks, but make them want to complete said task."
>grabbing your staff you point to the closest pony's head
"the spells you spoke of before do influence a ponies interest or wants, but this goes beyond that. They have full control over their actions from the second its cast to the second it dissipates BUT whatever command the cast gives them becomes an obsession, a drive, and in the most extreme case, an absolute NEED."
>as you pull the staff away you cant help but notice the furthest pony away has a large grin on his face, as if trying to hold back a laugh.
>and the longer you stare at him in confusion the more obvious it becomes that, that is indeed what he is doing.

>>27985653
"what exactly are you laughing at? I gave you no instruction to laugh."
>the stallion quickly falls to the floor laughing and his eyes open wide revealing his gold and red eyes
>>>"Its just Y-You, HA! you completely surprised me!"
>the pony slowly recovers from his growing fit of giggles and begins to stand up
>>>"I didn't expect that you would have used that spell on them first."
>as he does his body completely shifts, extending out further into a more serpentine form.
>his already large white eyebrows grow further and his wings each individually morph into a different type
>before long his previous appearance is nothing but a memory along with the assumption that he was ever a pony
>standing before you and your comrades is not a pony, but Discord, the god of Chaos himself.

>you are Queenie
>the changeling monster.
>you watch as Blackout stands on top of the wounded pony and you slowly start to make your way over to them
>does she really need to threaten him that way?
>He's already alone, scared, and wounded, the mere fact that the two of you are here should be more than enough to find out what you need from him
>your wings buzz slightly and a short chirp of worry for the pony slips out
>>"P-please! let me go! I'll do whatever you want, just let me live, please!"
>Blackout steps off the stallion but remains behind him as he still lay on the ground
>"First things first. What happened in Vanhoover?"
>the stallions voice is quiet but just loud enough to understand
>>"What DIDN'T happen in Vanhoover..."
>the stallion slowly picks himself up just enough to get his wounded leg off the ground
>he also makes absolutely sure to not give any sign of resistance, not even looking away from the ground as he speaks
>>"I was with the Princess for most of it. The charge into the city, that is. It was the single most terrifying experience of my life."
>he starts to look up slightly, but when he sees you still standing there he sight quickly returns to the ground

Welcome back HS!

Can someone catch me up with the story?
last thing i remember is celestia turning herself in to manos.

>>27985680
>>"well... maybe the second most now."
>Blackout shoves the stallion slightly
>"continue"
>>"we were to move with the princess. She was keeping a magical shield above us while we ran, though it looked like it could fall at any second. Our job, the unicorns that is; our job was to assist her once we noticed she wouldn't be able to hold it on her own for very long."
>"and what about the Lunar guards?"
>the stallion recoils at Blackouts harsh tone
>>"I don't know where they were. Most were above us in the clouds before the charge but- I don't know what they were doing. The only Lunar guard I saw in the charge was the Knight, and once she got to the city she was like a ghost. Like the rest of the Lunars."
"they didn't help you at all?"
>>"No, er maybe? I'm not sure, I just know that they weren't where I was, and they clearly were not there to protect Celestia."
>"What makes you say that?"
>for the first time the stallion works up the courage to look back at Blackout
>apparently he planned on seeing another changeling, or perhaps a Black Hand.
>whatever he expected it certainly wasn't what he saw.
>as his eyes lock with Blackouts he shoves himself backwards to get some distance between him and her, completely uncaring if that means you are the closer one
>Blackouts helmet retracts showing her face to the panicked Royalist
>"you were saying?"
>you can see the sweat pouring down his coat and he is visibly shaking from head to tail
>>"Th-... they-..."
>"they were not there to protect Celestia?"
>shaking his head 'yes' the stallion confirms the question.
"then what were they there for?"
>>"I- I don't know! I said that already. Maybe they just wanted to get a close look at the city? I swear I don't know."
>"You said you were with Celestia. What happened to her?"
>>"I got cut off from her once the fight reached the streets, If you could even call it a fight, They were waiting for us, and had ever corner turned into a death trap"

"They turned buildings into fortifications, streets into kill zones. It was like taking a step into Tartarus itself. The only reason a few of us made it was because of Celestia keeping us from panicking and splitting up."
>though that still wasn't enough to free the city...
"she always took the lead, using her magic to create a shield to keep as many of us as safe as she could; But... Once it was our turn to repay the favor, we failed. Most of us were captured and held hostage as a bargain chip or fled."
>the voice of the strange hybrid pony breaks your concentration
>"like you did, correct?"
>you remain silent.
>its true, you ran away after freeing yourself.
>you valued your own life over the one pony who could have possibly saved Equestria.
>a slow nod is all you can produce to answer the question
>the pony's helmet closes around her face in a nice smooth motion making a quiet click as they lock into place
>honestly that would be pretty cool if it wasn't terrifying.
>she looks over you to the changeling queen just behind you
>"you ready to go home then Queenie?"
>there is a flash of green and when you look back at where the changeling stood you are reminded of a mirror.

>You are Judice Lunae
>and your timing must have been perfect.
>just as you readied yourself to leave the city a group of panicked Royal guards decided it was time they ran off too.
>and they were kind enough to distract the ponies taking shots from the buildings
"seems that the guard was good for something after all."
>the road to Canterlot should be safe enough to travel, the Black Hands will likely remain in Vanhoover giving you plenty of time to return to the Princess.
>the only Princess.
>as you walk you spot a pony make his way out of a small woods next to the road.
>his leg is bleeding and he looks like he has been through hell.
>he spots you and gives a weak smile before stumbling in your direction
>you stay put letting him walk over to you as you watch him approach
>once he is close enough to hear you clearly you speak in a very commanding tone
"Name and rank solider."
>"u-uh. Morning Dawn, Ma'am!"
>he tries to give you a salute but cant due to his apparent injury
"Morning Dawn. Were you part of the attempted retaking of Vanhoover?"
>his eyes dart around possibly looking for any reason to think otherwise
>"Of course I-- I mean Yes Ma'am!"
>after giving him a short stare down you nod
"Come then. We are to report to the Princess."
>you turn and walk down the road a ways before you hear a question from the guard
>"Did Celestia make it out?"
"No. You now take orders from the Princess of the Moon."
>you continue to walk but look at him over your shoulder for a ways
"I'd remove that remaining armor, You will be receiving a new one when we return anyway."
>"a new set of armor? I thought if a guard was wounded like this they were given the option of retiring having spilled their own blood for Equestria?"
"I have been wounded far greater than you have and I still wear my armor with pride, the princess will expect all of her ponies to do the same."

>>27994099
>>27994138
More green?! I'm in heaven! Are you back to your old self HS or is this one of those few occasions you are still able to write for us? Anyways thank you for not abandoning us! Keep 'em coming!

>>27994138
>the sound of Mornings stumbling picks up until he comes just barely into your sight along side you
>"you.. you cant be serious, right? Its been a right of the ponies to retire after being wounded in battle! its been like that for centuries!"
>and look where that has got us.
>your tail flicks at his leg slapping his wound enough to cause a sting
"Do you see Black Hands retiring? what about Griffons? It may have been a PRIVILEGE to retire if you were wounded in the past, but I assure you guard; it is far from being a right."
>perhaps your words cut a little deep, or the stallion simply didn't want to believe what he should have already known, but he stops in front of you blocking your path
>"I- Im not going back to fight more of those soldiers. Do you have any idea what its like down there?! Where did you even go once you left Celestia behind!?"
>this stallion is starting to get on your nerves.
>and you are sure that your glare is making that completely clear to him.
>none the less you control yourself enough to keep a straight face and calmly answer his questions.
"One, I do know what its like. I know what its like on BOTH sides. Its like walking into Tartarus with nothing but what you were born with to save you, and two; As I recall Celestia ordered me to handle a mission. A mission which I completed."
>now your voice starts to turn to venom as you walk around the wounded stallion
"How did yours go? Is Vanhoover taken back from Manos? Is Celestia safe and sound?"
>you wait a while for him to try and defend himself.
>but the best he can come up with as a defense is
>"Wasn't it also your mission to assist the Princess? Shouldn't YOU have tried to keep her safe?"
>as you walk past him you kick out his good leg making him fall to the road with a 'oof'
"You are speaking to a Knight of Equestria. Watch your tone!"
>"Buck you! Buck you and answer my question!"
"No."
>the stallion looks hurt at your choice, not understanding that it was the real answer.

>whatever his choice is it matters little to you.
>You still have to report to Luna, and that is your only priority now.
"just remember!."
>you have to shout just to be sure the stallion hears you clearly as you leave him behind
"If you do decide to not report in, you will be considered a traitor to Equestria and treated just like any other, no matter how bad your leg hurts."
>its only fair to warn him.
>and now he has to make a choice on where his true loyalties lie
>it isn't long before his soft stumbles are heard again in the distance behind you.

got curious on how many words this had since i last recall hearing that it was longer than the New Testament of the Bible.

this is what HS is at now.
Counting this thread so far

>you are already out in the hall your design lifting off the table and floating behind you getting both of your assistants to follow

"the Empire of Germany... a country that was thrown into a war because of alliances, was sent to war with its allies against some of the most powerful nations in the world. Despite fighting hard and bravely they lost the war when a peace treaty was signed."
>"and what happened to them?"
>you take your arm from around Cadences shoulder and lean forward slightly, placing both your hands to rest under chin as you speak
"they were once a proud empire, much like the rest of the world. Lead by their Kaiser, their king, their emperor. But the treaty they were forced into signing destroyed that. They became a 'democratic' nation and the blame of the whole war, from its start to the individual damages to those effected was all placed on them. Their money was made worthless, the people were shamed, and with their empire gone they were divided."
>your eyes slowly turn to look to the other ponies listening in, letting them know you are aware they are listening
>some try to act busy, which is easy to do when there is work to be done, but they do so poorly still clearly listening.
"the world believed they did the right thing as most of the empires besides Germany had a era of prosperity... They just left them behind to suffer because of a war they did not start. I will not be like my world, Celestia.

The country flourished, it became a world superpower and took back what the rest of the world stole. It united its people, despite being told not to by its enemies"

"and when they struck back against the world they made them understand that there is always a consequence for abandoning the weak in their time of need. They went to war with them, and they conquered, they achieved marvels of science and warfare unimaginable for the time so much so that it took a nearly united world attacking from all fronts to stop them!"
>you retract your hand and look away from the large white mare as you attempt to calm yourself down

What do you want to "chat" about?
I hope it's Manos related.

>>28025113
Idk anything really. Ever since the 5th or 6th thread its just been "bump"

Even when we finally had a drawfag most of the thread consisted of bump.

>>28025400
Well, bumps are essential for thread survival so I don't mind them. I'd really like some Manos discussion though.

Still holding on to hope for Celestia and Manos

>>28026725
Keep hoping faggot. Candy has already laid claim

Both literally and figuratively

>>28027048
I expect her to follow her fiancé soon.

>You are Twilight Sparkle
"I don't know... I just have a bad feeling about it Applejack. There hasn't been any news about Celestia since she was seen leaving with those guards."
>AJ pats you on the back with her hoof with a reassuring smile
>"Celestia will be fine Twilight, What could possibly happen to her? She is the most powerful pony in Equestria and you heard about how many ponies she took with her, that was more than enough to keep her safe."
"Yeah I suppose that's true."
>Applejacks words do alleviate some of the worries you had
>You're sure she is right.
>the two of you are walking down the streets of Canterlot just looking for a way to pass the time
>Applejack has become quite well known in the commons as a very hardworking and dependable pony
>without a farm to work on she has been doing odd jobs all over Canterlot
>"Twilight..."
"Yes AJ?"
>Applejack has that look on her face that simply screams she wants to tell somepony something but isn't sure if she should.
>Of course you wont push her to say anything, but it does always make you just a slightly bit more curious about whatever the topic is.
>"I was thinking about joi-"
>there is a loud squeal of joy followed by a very happy Rarity rushing over to the two of you
>>"Twilight?! Applejack!? Its so good to see you two again!"
>the joy quickly spreads to the both of you as you wrap each other up in a hug
"Rarity! How have you been? We haven't seen you in the longest time."
>"Hows that job ah yers been treating ya?"
>Rarity waves a hoof and gingerly laughs
>>"Its been... well a little stressful. But I love it, and I think its the right thing for me to be doing."
"That's great Rarity. What is it?"
>>"Oh its nothing to exciting and I wouldn't want bore you girls with right now."
>she then makes a long dramatic gasp
>>"but today is one of my days off, are you two girls doing anything right this moment?"

>but You shake your head no and Rarity smiles wide at the two of you
>>"well then you simply HAVE to join me for dinner, I was on my way to meet a-"
>Rarity's eyes dart around quickly looking for the right word
>>"a friend from work!"
>Applejack chuckles lightly and leans in with a coy grin
>"he's a Stallion isn't he?"
>you cant help but giggle, but you still step in to give Rarity a hoof
"Applejack, it isn't polite to assume things like that."
>>"It's quite alright Twilight, and yes Applejack dear he is a stallion, but we are not like that."
"well we would love to join you then Rarity, wouldn't we Applejack?"
>"sure, Its been ah while since we seen each other. Its too bad that Fluttershy and Pinkie are busy today."
>the name of the pony left out of your list seems to be brought to everyponies mind and there is a short moment of silence before its quickly pushed away at its discovery
>>"Well yes, lets go then."
>while the three of you walk you each chat bout recent events and happenings in Canterlot
>before long your conversation turns from Canterlot to ponyville and you all start to reminisce about the old days
>"I always had something to do back then, even with everything goin on with Manos in ponyville my farm was still the most important thing in the world besides you girls and ma family of course."
"Have you heard from Big Mac at all since he left?"
>"No, Not really. I mean, we get an occasional letter from time to time saying he's okay and doing well, but it always feels like its... I don't know. Been read or something?"
"that's strange."

>>"oh Applejack I'm sure that it's just the worry talking. You miss your brother and just want him back again. He'll be fine on his own."

>you are Rarity
>Twilight Applejack and yourself finally make it to the restaurant and walk inside
"Here it is girls! the "Mane Dish."

>silk table linen are placed neatly over each table and there is a beautiful assortment of flowers in the center.
>the atmosphere of the place is comparable to the castle, clearly doing its best to mimic what it would be like dining there.
>a tall stallion in a nice white suit stands waiting with a smile as you and the girls walk over to him
>>>"Hello and welcome to the Mane Dish, do you have a reservation?"
"oh yes! 'Rarity' and I have two guests with me to add to that."
>the stallion doesn't even look at the list for you name and gives you a understanding nod
>>>"of course Miss Rarity. Its good to have you dining with us again. Your table is right this way."
>Twilight walks beside you and AJ follows close behind looking around at what she would no doubt call a 'high class' dining area
>"Wow Rarity, I didn't expect this to be where you had planned on going."
"Oh don't worry about a thing Twilight. OH and don't worry about paying either! This meal is on me since I invited you girls."
>>"Ah don't really like mooching Rarity... but I don't think I brought much with me."
"Well I already said I'm buying, and its not mooching AJ. I haven't seen you two in so long that this is simply making up for that."
>you are quickly brought to your table and seated while waiters bring each of you water and bread to enjoy while you think of what to order
>Twilight looks around the restaurant
>"So where is your friend Rarity? Didn't you say you were meeting him here?"

>>28029869
"He will be along shortly, he's never too late, only late enough."
>each of you giggle before looking over the menus
>the waiters return and your orders are taken when you spot him walking over from the back
>his mane is a nice and proper blue trimmed to a neat perfection and his coat a light orange
>>>"Rarity its good to see you again."
"oh Top Cuff, I told you was I coming here yesterday."
>>>"yes of course you did. Does that make it any less good to see you?"
>you quickly turn Top Cuff's attention to your friends
"these are my Friends Twilight and Applejack, we have known each other for a long time, back in ponyville."
>"Hello sir."
>>"Hello"
>Top Cuff bows his head slightly with a smile
>>>"Its always a pleasure to meet friends of Rarity. Please if there is anything my staff can get you, don't hesitate to ask."
>your staff-?"
>Top Cuff leans in and whispers to you not hearing Twilight's question
>its only a single sentence, but its the reason you came here, and it is more than enough once you hear it.
>>>"she's under control."
>you immediately laugh and wave your hoof
"You are such a charmer Cuff, thank you."
>he smiles pulling himself back and laughs along with you before saying his goodbyes and leaving you and your friends to you meal
>you put on a smile the whole time you and the girls chat and eat not once showing any sign of the conversations existence
>but you are a little worried about Twilight...
>Its going to be hard for her to take when she eventually hears about it.

>>28029385
Well since HS is a stated he is a sunfag in the first chapter I hold hope things will work out. Even if candy has claimed him and even if they are enemies I have hope.
And I think Cadance inst a good love interest in general.

>>28030114
>Love interest
that would require Manos loving her back wouldn't it? Didnt he originally get with her for political reasons?

>>28030126
Very true. Just another reason Manos and Celestia's eventual pairing.

thats what I remember. It also seems like Manos just generally got along with the Sisters more than Cadence. Even now he seems to be more interested in Celestia and her actions/thoughts more than Cadences.

But that might be just me

>>28032542
Well how could she? I mean she lost her husband the day of thier wedding, She murdered a Changeling with her bare hooves out of range once it tried to take away the person that tried getting close to her, she saw that being die right in front of her only to return to life, then she is put in charge of death camps where she kills and regulates changelings, then she was betrayed by twilight, then convinced that her own aunt is the one who killed her husband. And finally she saw the person she has fell in love with shoot themself while in her arms.

If you are sane after all that then you're crazy

"Yes, they returned just hours before you. With more than enough recovered weaponry and useful information."
>as you reach your still bowing knight you attention moves on to the other guard with her
"And who is this?"
>Judice Lunae rises and looks back to the stallion
>"Morning Dawn, of the royal guard. He was at Vanhoover and was able to escape with his life. He was very determined to take his retirement since he was wounded while serving in the guard."
>The stallion does his best to stand straight
"retirement? Do you no longer have the desire to serve and protect Equestria?"

"Then why would you abandon it in its time of need? We are at war with a enemy that is both within and outside our walls. I will need every available solider to best our foe."

"Judice Lunae, as a reward for your service you will be given complete command over Canterlots well being. From each guard inside to whatever length of control you wish over the populace, unless my own orders say otherwise of course."

>what?
>you lift your wing between you and Kyrie preventing the others from hearing you whisper
"B-but Manos is here isn't he? When did he leave for Vanhoover?"
>>"I'm not sure, but he is for sure the one who captured the princess and is now overseeing construction there. I had it confirmed before I showed up."
>great.
>you just go through a speech about you are part of his personal guard and you didn't even know that he left the Reich.
>if your coat wasn't this blue you might start to turn red.
"So who's in charge? Cadence? Aryanne?"
>>"They are with him. So he is at least in good hooves while he is away."
"That leaves Honor Bound. I'm sure he is having a great time acting in charge while Manos is gone."
>maybe that's why you've had a sudden increase in paperwork?
>no, that's probably from the Shines and their constant need for information.
>>"and we have orders from him... Well, one of us that is."

>>28046787
>you or Kyrie are being told to leave your recruits behind and perform escort duty.
>If it wasn't for Manos you would be upset, but you can understand his desire for someone dependable to go.

>it doesn't take you long to return to your office and find the new orders already waiting on your desk.

How about this;

What if there was an alternate universe where "Manos" (or an Anon in his position) had ideals that took root in the American Founding Fathers beliefs in Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? How would the story change?

>>28056689
less national socialist-like ponies and probably no real conflict since it would be a democratic republic founded by the vote of the masses giving Celestia a reason to give up her position of power if she felt it was what her ponies truly wanted rather than just a new King figure wanting to take over with force.

>I wish to inform Equestria of my sisters betrayal to our ponies.
I just realized something. Luna shouldn't really be popular enough for that to work since she's a recent edition to the government that was literally
built around Celestia for the last thousand years. There might be larges swathes of the civilian population defecting with Celestia if Luna tries to sell that.

>>28059754
Or there would be a large divide going three ways. One, som ponies would see Celestia as a coward who wished to save her own skin and stay with Equestria, Two some would join 'her' and leave or at the very least support the Reich, and the third... well.. there is a little group that's growing that seems to be distrusting of anyone calling themselves a god isnt there? One that so far has not been effected by war and is lurking in shadows.

And has apparent mind control spells

>You are Princess Luna
>it has taken some time but eventually all the necessary ponies have been gathered to meet with you.
>the halls outside the court are filled with hundreds of other ponies who heard rumors as to why you have asked for them to come so suddenly
>the room slowly falls silent and only a select few voices continue to murmur in the gathered group
>guards are stationed at each of the doors and windows, each with spells to stop any noise from entering or exiting the room.
>there are a hundred different ways you could start this, but time is likely short, and you decide the most direct route is necessary.
"My sister is no longer with us."
>the crowd quickly begins to stir, ponies quickly beginning to question if what they heard was in fact what you said.
>you speak again, your voice demanding of attention and obedience.
"Before anypony begins to say or think otherwise, she is alive. Though to me, she may as well not be."
>before anypony can speak you raise your hoof and continue on
"As some of you may have notice or heard, she recently led a large force of her royal guard out of Canterlot to help rescue the ponies of Vanhoover from Manos and his tyrannical Hands. This was the assumption I too had. However, once she arrived there the reinforcements I had sent along with her for support returned informing me that she gave herself and her ponies up willingly without putting up a fight once making contact with Manos."
>the crowd starts to enter an uproar, questions flying out from them faster than you can answer.
>"What does that mean for Equestria?"
>"Shouldn't we surrender ourselves then too?!"
>"Why are they called Hands?"
>"Who is in charge of the guard now?"
"ENOUGH!"
>you shout back using your royal Canterlot voice, the walls themselves shaking slightly and for a moment you wonder if the magic could silence it outside

>>28064917
"Despite my sisters choice I shall still do everything in my power to safeguard Equestria and her ponies. I will take on all duties my sister held. Trust me my little ponies I will not let Manos take and destroy everything we hold dear, nor will I surrender myself in hopes of being spared from whatever wrath he may have."
>a older stallion, likely a noble, steps forward and bows his head in respect before speaking
>"Dear Princess, please forgive me for my question, but why should we let Equestria fall to you? You have been gone for over a thousand years- and to top it off Celestia was the one who banished you for trying to usurp her rule in the past."
>many ponies nod or give other signs of agreeing with the nobles point
>though it doesn't matter how sound his argument may be-
"The Equestrian governments line of succession is clear, If either Celestia or I are to give up our rule or otherwise be incapable of leading then it shall fall to the other. If such a time comes where neither of us were able to lead, then the rule would fall to princess Mi Amore Cadenza, who by her own choice has given up her right to rule in favor of joining the Reich."
>"but that doesn't answer-"
"There is only one pony remaining who is capable of ruling, and that is I. Equestria is in a state of war and far beyond any normal state of emergency. There is simply no time to adjust ourselves to a new line of succession or elect a temporary leader. As of this moment, I Princes Luna am the sole leader of Equestria and all of her holdings."
>a voice from the back comes to everyponies attention
>>"But you are not fit to rule!"
>you are shocked that anypony would say such a thing to a princess, especially the one who chose to stand with Equestria till the end rather than surrender.
>the crowd starts to part where the voice came from and a young mare stands there suddenly regretting her choice to speak
>you walk down the open line of ponies eyeing the mare.

"how so my little pony? Am I not your princess? Am I not Celestia's only sister?"
>she starts to quiver in fear as your shadow falls upon her
>>"w-well.. yes. B-but, you are-were! Nightmare Moon, the mare who tried to shroud the world in darkness to have an eternal night. How can we trust you to rule us fairly?"
>you extend your wings to their fullest length, your shadow now completely covering her as she lowers herself to the floor in panic
"you are right, I WAS Nightmare Moon... I cannot deny that."
>you slowly look your wings over, their length and dark feathers slowly beginning to darken further becoming raven-like.
>once the wings become as they once were, black and sleek as the midnight sky you give a warm smile and close them letting the rest of your coat darken with them.
>the space around you becomes larger as ponies begin to back away from you as you change
>you speak softly, in a hurt tone
"is this is what you fear? The mare I once was?"
>you step back from the mare giving her space to relax
"This was me when I thought my own desires were more important than the desires of my ponies. I know that now..."
>your mane slowly changes to match your coat and wings, becoming darker and the stars that filled it slowly dim away
"You have all heard the stories of my reign, of what I was capable of and the terror I caused, but that was when I was against you. Against all of you and my sister... But she gave me a second chance, and for that I am forever grateful, I promised on that day that I would never harm Equestrians. That I would give my life to defend them- to defend you!"
>you turn away and walk to the front of the room to look over all your ponies.
"Manos has made no promise. Manos cares not for his ponies only that they help serve his goals! Do you know what he seeks? Do you know what artifacts he already possesses?"

>>28064942
>a few voices break the silence and ask
>"what does he have?"
>"artifacts? like what?"
"He seeks the elements of Chaos... the only power that is able to rival the elements of Harmony that protects us, and whats more? He already possesses three of them."
>you let this information sink in as your guards slowly start to remove their magics from the windows and doors
"My little ponies, before you lay two options. Side with me, with Eqeustria and hopefully put an end to Chaos, or run and let the beast searching for Chaos find it, and eventually find us all."

>You are Captain Softshores
>and you are making your way to port on board your beloved ship, the Shining Seapony
>your crew have been away from home for too long and are excited to return to Vanhoover.
>stretching your wings you stand from your captains chair in your quarters and step out onto the deck
>the crew is bustling about with the daily work necessary to operate your vessel
>you are greeted by your first mate, another pegasus who you have taken to calling 'Matey'
>"Ahoy Captain! Today's the day right? They day we return home?"
"Indeed, if we are on schedule as planned we shouldn't be more than a few hours away, maybe less if we are lucky and the winds are favorable."
>Matey grins and wraps a hoof around you pulling you close
>"Oh they are! Never have I had such a feeling of freedom under my wings when I first awoke for my morning flight around the ship"
>you pull yourself away politely
"already wanting to fly about eh? well then you wont have much issue with me asking you to fly up and see if you can spot port?"
>Matey forces a laugh and steps back a bit looking around
>"oh boy, I'd love to. But I got such a work out from my flight this morning and uh-"

>>28064960
>a crew member accidentally knocks over a bucket spilling the dirty contents of mop water across the deck getting groans of disappointment or hearty laughter from the other crew members
>Matey is quick to capitalize on this
>"Bucket! Bucket get over here!"
>the pony who kicked the bucket by mistake quickly looks around wondering who Matey is referring to
>it soon becomes clear to him that its indeed him and he rushes over, his hooves leaving wet prints as he goes
>>"yes first mate?"
>"Do us all a favor and let the deck get clean. you know what, why don't you fly up and find out if we are on course to Vanhoover. That should keep you out of trouble right?"
>Bucket turns red and nods
>>"yes sir, as you say sir."
>his wings extend and he takes to the sky a few wet drips falling behind him as he leaves you and Matey behind on the ship
>Matey smiles and begins to walk off to finish his work, as you watch him with a large grin on your face
"Looks like you lucked out this time Matey, but I'll get you in the air eventually."
>Matey laughs and picks up a mop taking over where Bucket left off
>"I don't know what you are talking about Shores."
>you leave him be for know, and walk up the sitars to the upper deck and take the wheel feeling the wind in your mane
>You'll never understand how Matey can be a pegasi like you and still have a fear of heights.

>LEARN TO USE A FUCKING SHIFT KEY. Also, for the love of God, use commas.

yes, I am not ignorant to how poor my grammar and punctuation are, especially early on in the green. I just do this for fun though I have been meaning to go through and eventually rewrite the whole story fixing the errors.

I do thank you for reading and giving notes on how to improve. I always value constructive criticism.
