The Adventures of the Chaos Colt!

Chapter 3 - A Crystal Utopia

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yaf9UdSlxY

>And so you slide down the pages, images, and words until everything unfolds into reality. You begin to slowly descend to the top of the high wall surrounding the perimeter a city. You land on all four hooves, and walk over to the edge. The wall went across for MILES, made entirely of opaque blue crystal. On top were cannons lined up, with wooden weapon racks containing spears, shields, swords, and arrows… You name it.
>There were guards all over the high wall, marching along and patrolling their spots. Each had bright and shiny silver armor, but what made them look awesome and cool was that they all shined like crystals when the sunlight hit their fur. They aren’t so bright that it blinds you from looking, but pretty enough to leave a pony stunned.
>Every time they march, their armor would made metallic sounds. Their hooves stomp onto the ground with power and authority. You look across the edge of the wall to the empire… And holy moley, what a sight to see! Before the empire itself, there’s just miles upon miles of green plains. Farms, villages, and towns populated acres and acres of the land.
>In the center of it all, a large city of crystal buildings rose on the horizon. Right smack in the middle is a giant spire made of white and blue crystal. It shined brighter than any other building, as if a miniature sun to warm the city ponies. The spire rose high into the sky, attached to multiple smaller towers, attached firmly to the ground by four sturdy and thick structural legs.
>You put your hooves on your cheeks and lean closer. Wooooow… It looked as good from as afar than inside! It’s so beautiful! Last time you went into the book, you experienced an event called ‘The Crystalling’.

>>29255223

>You even brought back some souvenirs! Like there’s this weird trumpet thing that sounded like a crying hydra when you played it. Discord loved it whenever you played, of course. But that’s all you saw, just the main capital of the empire, but not the stuff on the outside. It looked just as beautiful, if not, even better, that’s for sure!
>You snap out of it and turn around. Right! On to find a way down this wall and check out the place. Here’s the strange part about the chaos magic behind all this stuff. You could talk to ponies, even touch them, but you had to take the place of a colt during that historic event.
>So you couldn’t alter any of the facts, but reenact in the place of somepony else. Buuuut the other weird part is that you wouldn’t know the pony you took the place of, since everypony called you Anonymous. Huh, that’s pretty funny! It fits with the name perfectly.
>Again, you end up looking into the distance at the beautiful empire… Gosh, what you’d give to live in there! The Crystalling was so cool. It was like this giant carnival, with games, events, and all that- WHOA! While daydreaming, you lose your footing and fall off the edge.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!”
>AHHHHHHHHHHH! NO NO NO NO! HELP! HEEEELP!.
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!”
>”Whoa whoa! Lil guy! Calm down! I got you.”
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa…? Huh?”
>You open one eye and look around. You’re not falling anymore! You open both eyes and look up, watching a pegasus guard flapping her wings while holding you.

>>29255232

>She had teal fur, and a light green tail and mane that poked out of the top of her helmet. Her eyelashes are curved, and her eyes are a little more narrow and prettier, making her look very beautiful. Underneath her right-hoof eye is a tiny, black beauty mark.
“Thanks, Miss! You saved me!”
>You return your thanks by nuzzling into her and giving her a hug. She nuzzles back, flying you back up onto the wall. She lands next to you and ruffles your mane. “Be careful next time, okay lil guy? Hey…” She looks around to see if your parents are around.
>”Where are your parents? How did you get up on the high wall?”
“Oh! I wanted to see the wall! Home looks so pretty from here…”
>Home? Oh! That’s right! Sometimes you had no control of some things you said. Discord said it had to do with the pony you took the place of or something. You go to the edge of the wall, making sure to be careful this time.
“It must be cool to see this everyday, huh?”
>The guard smiles and walks over to you, putting her hoof on your shoulder as you both watch the empire towering in the horizon. “Yeah, it’s a beautiful sight… It’s kind of why I joined the guard in the first place. The view is so… Wonderous…” She takes off her helmet and holds it under her foreleg, causing her mane to flow in the wind.
>You wish you could be a Crystal Guard! Fighting bad guys, protecting the kingdom, using cool armour and weapons! And you’d march RIGHT…. Over there! Along those cannons! You can hear it now. ‘MAN THE CANNONS, ANON!’
“Ay ay, ma’am!”
>The mare looks at you, raises her eyebrow, and tilts her head in confusion. “Huh? You say something?” You blush and look away.
“Uh… Nothing…”

>>29255245

>She giggles and covers her mouth with her hoof. The guard taps her chin for a moment, then points to you. “You know… You remind me of me when I wanted to join the Crystal Guard… You wanna join the guard, too?” You turn and nod your head with a big smile on it.
“Uh huh!”
>”Well, who am I to crush a young colt’s dreams? How about I give you a tour? How does that sound?” You hop around her and start cheering.
“Yeah! I’d love that… What’s your name?”
>“Just call me Silver Steel, sweetie.” You salute and introduce yourself.
“Officer Anon is reporting for duty!”
>Silver Steel turns around and beckons you over. “What are you waiting for? Hop on my back and I’ll show you everything on the wall. There’s a lot to see!” You hesitate no longer and hop on top of her. “Hold on tight…!” And whoosh! She kicks off the ground and flies into the air.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxJ7opnaPm4

>WOOOOOOW! Everything looks so pretty from the clouds! You can see the farmers working on the land making fresh veggies and fruits for everypony.
“I wonder what they’re farming down… Over there!”
>Silver Steel glances down towards where you’re pointing. “Oh! Those are rock farms! They set up quarries to dig up the crystals we needs for buildings, enchantments, materials… And food! I love Crystal Bites.”
“Food?! Out of crystals?”
>”Uh huh. You didn’t know that?” You shake your head. “Well, they are kind of expensive…” You tug on her mane lightly.

>>29255249

“So you’ve had them? How do they taste? Do they break your teeth? Does each color have a different flavor-”
>”Whoa there, lil guy! One question at a time! Well, they don’t break your teeth ALL the time…”
>And so you both continue to fly through the clouds, scaling along the wall. Man, is this place HUGE! It goes down for miles, and miles, and even MORE miles! A old looking pegasus messenger with a grey beard flies by and you wave.
“Hello!”
>”Heya! Have a nice day!” He waves back and tips his cap. Silver Steel leans to the left, getting closer to the wall. She passes by a cluster of guards on the wall. They look over and wave, calling out to your new friend. “Morning, Sergeant Silver!” Silver looks back and waves. “Morning!”
“Morning mister!”
>Up ahead is a big chariot with a couple of civilian ponies on it. A tour guide is pointing and talking about the wall. “And as you get closer, you can see the majestic crystalline wall that protects our empire from any spooky creatures or invaders!”
>You hold up you hoof, and a random stranger on the chariot high hoofs you as you pass by on Silver.
“WOOHOO!”
>Down below, you see a town full of ponies cheering and celebrating something. Something tells you that they’re preparing for the Crystalling.
“Hey, look! They’re preparing for the Crystalling!”
>Silver Steel nods. “Mhm! I’m celebrating later today with the family! I got us front row seats to the event because well.. I AM in the Crystal Guard.” The townsfolk are setting up tents, games, and all sorts of crystally things in their town to prepare. You wave down and yell as loud as you can.
“HAVE A HAPPY CRYSTALLING!”
>A couple of ponies look up and wave, yelling back ‘You too!’, or ‘Have a Happy Crystalling!”. A couple of colts and fillies playing along the stone streets wave and kick a ball towards you. But you’re too high up to catch it, awww… They all laugh and go back to playing.

>>29255256

>Ponies are so friendly and fun! You always loved using the telescope on history books and stuff just so you could make some temporary friends.
>Equestria is just so full of happiness, ponies, amazing sights and creatures. Now that you look at it like this, why did Dad have to ruin everything with his crummy chaos magic, anyway? Everypony is happy, and things feel and look so natural. Equestria is perfect the way it is.
>Silver decides to do a few more tricks, spinning around in the air or doing loops through clouds.
“YEAHAHA! WOOOOOOOOO!”
>The wind blows through your mane, and the sunlight brightens up the skies so everything looked crystal clear. Literally! Another pegasus stallion flies nearby Steel and you. The pegasus had brown fur and a blonde short mane. He had a high pitched voice for a normal stallion.
>”See you’re enjoying your morning shift, Sergeant Steel.” She glances over for a moment to see who it is and looks back on course. “Oh hey, Quartz! I’m just showing the little guy around the place. Got lost on the wall and I have to take him home.”
“I did not get lost! I wanted to see the wall! And I’m not going home anytime soon.”
>The stallion chuckles at your reaction. “He’s a live one! You sure you can handle him all by yourself?” Quartz gives Silver a teasing grin. “Pffff, you couldn’t even handle a parasprite! Let alone a colt.” He shakes his head and looks forward into the clouds. “Aheheh, whatever you say… Going back to the battlements, now!”
“Bye, mister!”
>Quartz salutes and leans to the right, slowly drifting down and away from you two. You continue to soar until Silver asks you something. “Hey Anon, you want to try something fun?” You lift your head up.
“Oooh! I like fun!”
>”Hold on tight-!” Silver Steel begins to dive bomb down, air pushing along both your faces as you descend towards the rooftops of a nearby town. THIS FEELING! THIS RUSH! Awww yeah YOU LOVE IT!

>>29255264

“WEEEEEEEEEE!”
>Right before she reaches the rooftops, she picks up her wings and glides upwards, sending some loose feathers to fly out. She glides back up into the sky, a little wobbly from the sudden change in speed. Silver Steel wipes her brow.
>”Phew! Haven’t tried something like that since training camp! Had fun kiddo?” Your mane and fur is all over the place, but you just nod your head really fast.
“THAT WAS AWESOME! Let’s do it again!”
>Silver Steel continues doing tricks amongst the clouds, soon getting close to the wall and gliding alongside it, mere inches away from the surface. You hold on tight and pretend to steer her, sticking out your tongue and focusing hard to make sure she doesn’t go off course.
“Watch out for that guard!”
>”I see him!” She zips past the pegasus guard, causing him to lose his balance and helmet to spin around. “HEY! Watch it!” Silver Steel giggles and looks up to you. “Did you see that guy?”
“Yeah! His helmet spun around like ‘SWOOSH’! Ahah!”
>Silver Steel changes direction and begins to soar up alongside the wall. Once at the top, she flies above the edge, then flies back down, coming in for a smooth landing. You hop off slowly, spinning around and collapsing on the ground.
“I-I wanna do that… Everyday… Huh…”
>You pant from the adrenaline rush. Silver Steel stretches her wings and giggles at your reaction. “I would, too, but I’ve got a job to do. At least I got to stretch these wings a bit more.” You sit up and shake your head, getting rid of the dizziness.
>Over in the distance, you see some armor and weapons on a rack.
“Silver, can I check that stuff out?”
>You begin walking over to the rack, but she flies over and blocks you with her wings. “Whoa there, Anon! That’s not for kids like you. Buuuuut…” She turns around and walks over to a box next to the rack. She opens it up, and in it she pulls out a wooden replica of a sword.

>>29255274

“Whoooooa! It looks just like a real sword! Can I see it?”
>Silver Steel hands you the sword carefully and warns you. “Just be careful with it. A guard has to be aware of his surroundings, especially with other ponies nearby.” You tilt the sword so you can see the wood shine along the crafted blade.
“Ooooh! Take that, evil villain!”
>You strike a heroic pose, put the sword hilt into your mouth, and stab into the air away from anypony. You start to pretend that there’s actually a monster in front of you.
“Ahah! You dodged my attack! But I’m not done yet. Hyah! Hah! Hyah! Take that!”
>Silver Steel watches you play fighting by yourself as she leans against the wall. An idea sparks in her head. You’re too distracted to notice anything else as the villain keeps dodging your moves, but you finally hit him!
“AHAH! Stand down, fiend- Oh hey Silver! You got a sword, too!”
>She nods her head and holds it in her mouth. “You showed that criminal scum who’s boss! But how about you spar against a real guard…?” Your eyes sparkle and wag your tail, but you turn serious and change your stance.
“I accept your challenge, honorable guard!”
>For several minutes, you and Silver Steel play fight along the high wall as the sun begins to set. The horizon glimmers out in the distance as you clash with your new friend. The wind breeze blows perfectly through your manes, making it all the more epic.
>But then you notice something is a little off out in the distance. Right as Silver Steel gets the upperhand on you, you drop your sword and turn your head.
“W-Wait! What’s going on down there…?”

>>29255279

>There are a lot of guards moving a bunch of catapults, wagons with weapons, and ammo towards the wall. Some are shouting orders to each other, and some are taking note or track with a parchment and quill.
“Silver, why are there so many guards flying and moving around with weapons and stuff?”
>”Huh?” She turns her head towards where you’re looking, drops the sword, and takes notice of the commotion while standing by your side. She scratches the back of her neck and stutters.
>“I, Uh, d-don’t know at all! Must be p-protocols, or something? Er…” Before you can question her suspicious behavior, another Crystal Guard pegasus calls out to Silver.
>”Sergeant Steel!” He lands next to her and slutes. “The commander wants you in his office as soon as possible! It’s dire.” He salutes and flies off to help out with his fellow soldiers in carrying heavy equipment to the wall.
>Silver Steel looks back at you, rubbing her foreleg while hesitating. “Awww. Sorry, Anonymous… Looks like we’re going to have to cut our tour short.” You pout and groan.
“Awwww… I didn’t even get to see the inside of the wall.”
>She then sparks an idea that could risk her job… But just seeing you down in the dumps like that… Just how your eyes watered like a puppy’s. Dawwww… It just melted her heart right there.
>“It is getting kind of late. Your parents have to be worried about you.”
“Pleeeease? As long as it’s before dark, I’ll be fine!”
>She looks back over to the commotion. ”I don’t know… I have to get to that meeting…” You drop your head down, turn around, and start to drag yourself away.” But I guess you can tag along with me so I can get you home.” You pick up your head and your ears perk up.
“Does that mean…?”

>>29255288

>Silver nods her head. “Mhm, you’ll see the inside of the castle, and even the commander’s office!” You dash over to your sword, pick it up, leap onto her back and point forward in her direction with the oak blade.
“Then let us not wait any longer! The commander needs us!”
>”Heheh, you’re such a cutie…” Once more, you hold on tight as Silver Steel takes off into the sky. It took a couple of minutes before you reach one of the entrances that lead to the inside of the wall. But instead of going through there, she takes a different entrance along the middle of the wall that you assume is built for pegasi like her.
>Once inside, you notice the wall has different floors with more weapons and cannons. This place is TALL! There are guards just everywhere, and there are also rooms within the wall. Ooooh, wonder what’s inside all those?
>You slip off from Silver Steel’s back as she lands. You scurry on over to one of the giant crystal doors. She cries out, chasing after you down the hallways. “Whoa! Kids a fast one…!” You open one of the doors and see a room full of bookshelves. There’s a crystal chandelier that slightly lit the room, and royal purple drapes hung on the wall alongside the blue crystal color.
>A huge table with a giant map of the Crystal Empire is in the center of it all. Tiny figurines and markings covered the parchment, and ponies in clad silver armor surrounded it. But there’s one stallion that had crystal brooches and medals on his platebody.
>They raise their heads towards you as you walk in, causing you to drop your play sword. Silver Steel comes in to back you up. “I apologize, sir! I’m escorting this lost colt home and he seemed to , um… Snuck off from my sight.” The commander waves over to her. “Silver Steel! We could use more help on this!”

>>29255299

>The commander looks older and rounder than the other stallions. He wore a more regal helm with studded crystals, had royal purple fur, strong wings, orange fuzzy eyebrows, and an orange bushy mustache covering his entire mouth. Everytime he spoke, the mustache moved along with his words.
>He looks towards you this time. “You won’t cause any trouble or interrupt us, son?” You shake your head and salute.
“No, sir!”
>He chuckles. “I admire your formality. You’d make a great soldier with such an attitude. Just sit by for the moment.” You smile at that compliment.
>“Come around here, Sergeant Steel, we need to show you something.” She stations herself between two other guards on the right side of the table. You squeeze through and stand next to her, looking at this scary looking guy across the table. He’s a unicorn with grey fur, grey eyes, and a black mane, and is HUGE! Burly and strong, holding a giant sword on his back, and a scar under his chin.
>“The problem with this region over here-” The big stallion circles around the spot he’s talking about. “-is that the we haven’t finished reinforcing the wall on this side. It’s the only spot we haven’t fortified very well since we decided to do the repairs.” He slides his hoof over towards the outline of the wall. “If they strike from the east, they’ll surely crumble through our defenses, your honor.”
>Wait, so is the commander royalty as well? The commander nods in response. “That’s why I’ve talked to my wife, and we’ve settled to put a good amount of troops on that weak point. If the enemy DOES somehow surpass our defenses and destroys the wall, we’ll evacuate anyone in the wall and station them on the inside perimeter of the break. I doubt that’d happen.”
>Huh, seems like you jumped into a page during a historic battle. So cool! You lean closer and closer as Silver Steel eyeballs the map for a moment, then looks up at the commander.

>>29255305

>“Sir, how long has the enemy been preparing to attack?” He slowly rubs his chin. “For about a couple of months. All we’ve been dealing with are mindless drones and scouters getting intelligence on our defences and weapons.”
>Another mare guard standing next to Silver Steel points to the towns and farms around the main empire. “I assume we’re going to evacuate the people outside the empire from the plains and move them to the citadel. Yet, how will we secure this area if the enemy breaches the wall?” The commander fidgets a bit and takes off his helmet. His orange curly mane drips with sweat as he wipes his brow.
>“It’s an issue we’ll have to deal with. At least the wall will protect our citizens and will buy us time for them to evacuate. And that’s what we must prevent. A breach on the wall. We WON’T let them get past that point.” He pokes right at the weak point of the wall.
>What’s so dangerous that could destroy an entire wall? Could it be windigos? Or ice giants trying to break in? You wanna see that in action!
>Silver Steel interrupts the stallion with her own opinion on the matter. “The commander is right. We cannot let them past that point, and we won’t. We have a strong army and we’re well trained.” But the stallion disagreed with her confidence, putting his hoof down on the table.
>“We have to cover all our corners just in case! You can never be too safe.” Silver Steel scoffs. “That’s rich coming from you, Ferrous! Last time we went scouting, you got your neck cut up by some frost hounds while trying to take them head on. You have the scar to prove it.”
>Ferrous growls and narrows his eyes. “And THAT’S why…” He slams down his hooves to emphasize himself, causing the figurines and map the tremble. “I learned to not be reckless, and plan ahead if anything WRONG happens! We can’t just ignore this weakness!”

>>29255314

>The commander nods. “Ferrous has a point.” The commander goes back to the map. “IF they somehow breach the wall, we’ll fortify our troops around the citadel. We already have cannons and supplies being stationed there.”
>Again, Ferrous seems to doubt his fellow soldier’s skill. “And what if they get through THAT? We’ll be totally defenseless!” Silver Steel responds bluntly. “Then we lose, end of story. But we’re not going to lose, and THAT’S a fact!” She lifts up her chin and gives a confident smile.
>”What?! So you’ll just let them walk in if they break through-” The commander stomps his hoof onto the table, silencing everypony. “That’s enough, Ferrous!” He takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and shakes his head.
>“We said we will NOT let them breach! We’re The Crystal Empire, for Celestia’s sake!” He starts pounding the table with his hoof as he speaks. “We have an outstanding military, one of the best next to the Royal Guard. And the morale of our fellow citizens will keep us motivated. I won’t tolerate such doubt.”
>He points to the door and glares at the stallion. “That attitude will surely make us lose once the day comes. One cannot be constantly fumbling on covering ALL their corners. You will lose sight of the main task at hoof!”
>”So unless you are a Crystal Guard, I suggest you make your leave, Ferrous.” He realizes that there’s no point in arguing anymore, and that it would be silly to worry about little things that wouldn’t even matter at that point. “You are right, my king… We won’t let them have the leisure of breaking through our wall.”
>Silver Steel smirks and glares at Ferrous. He returns the favor with his own disapproving eyes while shaking his head. But Ferrous did have a point. In all the movies you saw, it’s good to cover your corners and all that. But Silver Steel is right, being too scared isn’t good either.

>>29255326

>The commander salutes his fellow soldiers. “Do not doubt. Do not fall. Our crystal hearts shall prevail all!” They all give out a ‘Hoorah!’ and salute. “You’re all dismissed… Notify your fellow guards and families. Make sure to keep everyone calm about the situation. We have enough rumors causing panic on our hooves.” The guards take their leave, murmuring to each other on the new information.
>Something trying to get into the Crystal Empire, but what could it be? You know that there’s this arctic storm outside the Crystal Empire, but the magic of their Crystal Heart keeps it away, bringing warm and sunny days all the time. It has to be some sort of army if they’re lining up everything they’ve got.
>“Except you, Sergeant Steel...” Silver Steel stops on the way out, and turns. “I just want to brief you on what you missed.” The guards nod and exit. Silver Steel walks back towards the commander and salutes. “What is it you need, your honor?” The commander picks up his helmet and goes to a desk in the back.
>He sets it down on the desk, pulls out the chair, and sits down. “Close the door, Steel.” She complies and shuts the door, coming back and standing ready. “At ease, Sargeant.” The mare guard relaxes and stands normally. The commander looks down and puts his hooves together, pondering.
>You move from the table and stand by your guard friend. She looks down at you and smiles, ruffling her hoof into your mane. You giggle as she tickles the top of your head.
>The commander looks up and nods his head gently. “Steel, what is the main drive of our nation?” Silver Steel stops her ruffling and doesn’t hesitate to respond. “Fortitude, Strength, and Honor.” The commander is pleased at her response.

>>29255333

>“That is correct. We are like the crystals that structure our kingdom; The strongest breed of crystals, ones with sturdy lattices and formation. We hold up and strike back hard, barely leaving a crack within our frame. And we all present ourselves with honor and beauty to the likes of our empire.”
>The captain looks over to a cabinet. In it are tiny crystal models of ponies, animals, and a large one of the empire. He then looks back at Silver Steel. “But there’s one main thing that we as an empire neglect verbally, but we all have in our hearts. Not only us, but everypony in Equestria.”
>He gets up and approaches a window covered by a drape. An insignia of a crystal heart was on it. Pushing aside the drape, you all look to the empire sparkling in the horizon.
>The light of the shining empire illuminates the entire room, causing everything to sparkle red from the setting sun. The commander, Silver Steel, and you began to shine. Ooooh! You didn’t realize you’re a crystal pony, too. She looks back at the commander and speaks. “Is it hope?”
>He just continues to look out the window. ”Look at how it sparkles, Steel. A beacon of hope, a vision of a great future for our people, and Equestria. I know we use the crystal analogy a ton, but take a closer look.”
>You lean over the desk and so does Silver Steel as she puts down her helmet, letting her long, light green mane flow down.
>“The light that refracts from the spire is our hopes. It traps the evil within the prism, and let’s the good within our world shine through. But let the darkness escape, and all hope shall be enveloped. Our crystal hearts shall shatter…”

>>29255341

>The commander lets the drape fall and walks over to the guard. He puts his hoof on her shoulder as she replies. “Is that why you addressed Ferrous that way before? He has become a bit more… Timid since he got attacked on that mission.”
>He doesn’t respond to her question, but continues speaking. “You have a good spirit, Steel. You don’t doubt our empire, our ponies… Our hope.” He pats her shoulder. “That’s why I trust soldiers like you to keep everypony faithful. Not only for our empire, but for Equestria as a whole. Ponies like Ferrous-” He motions his head to the door. “-have notable strength, but their will and desire to fight dwindles with fear. That’s why we need ponies like me and you to remind them of their cause.”
>Silver Steel puts her hoof against the commander’s shoulder, and nods once. “I won’t disappoint the ponies of our empire, and the ponies of Equestria.” The commander lets go and goes around back to his desk. “Good, good… And son.” You perk up and put your full attention to the commander. “What’s your name?”
“Anonymous, sir!”
>“I know I said not to tell anyone, but…” He looks over to a photograph on his desk, then back at you. You couldn’t see what the photograph is at this angle, but you assumed it’s a family photo.
>“Make sure to warn your family and find somewhere safe to hide, just in case…” The old stallion smirks, raising an eyebrow. “We wouldn’t want a future guard to get hurt now, would we, Private Anonymous?” You put on a serious expression and nod, saluting.
“Thank you, sir! I’ll make sure to tell them.”
>”You can call me by my normal name. And if you didn’t learn it in school yet, it’s King Lattice. But I’d prefer Crystal Lattice.”

>>29255355

“One day, I want to be a brave king like you, Mr.Lattice!”
>I bet a ton of ponies look up to this guy, he’s such a great leader! That speech about the empire and all that was so inspiring and brave! Maybe one day, you can rule your own empire and lead your own army to battle!
>King Lattice lets out a hearty laugh towards your cute innocence. “It takes more than being brave to be a king, Anonymous. But I think you have the right heart to be an excellent leader.”
>You, King Lattice, and Silver Steel begin exit the room as you bid your farewell to the king. Silver Steel holds your hoof and speaks. “Come on, Anonymous, let’s get you home…” She looks over to King lattice, smiles, and nods. “Thank you, Lattice. I’ll make sure my family has a safe place to retreat once the day comes.”
>She bows and salutes, escorting you out of the room. King Lattice comments one more time as you make your leave. “And remember… Hope is stronger than any force in the world.”
>But right as the door shuts, you hear a crash within the office. Silver Steel immediately reacts and barges into the room again.
>You hear an explosion go off as the entire wall shakes, causing you both to stumble over into the room. Red flashes of light start coming from the borders of the windows. The sounds of arrows whizzing in the air could be heard alongside battle cries.
>Silver Steel let’s go of your hoof and goes to help King Lattice from the floor. You start to panic, looking left and right for Discord.

>>29255375

“Silver?! W-What’s happening?! D-Dad?”
>King Lattice gets up and trots over to the window, yanking the drape off. “No… The invasions already starting! That’s impossible! There were no enemies in sight for miles! Even our scouts said there was no activity!”
>The king goes over to a cabinet, pulling out a crystal sabre. He puts it on his belt and addresses Silver. “Get this child to safety! Once he’s safe, return back to help defend the wall!” She salutes, scoops you up onto her back, and springs into action. “I’m on it!”
>As the wall began to shake more and crumble little by little, King Lattice looks up at you for a moment one last time. “And if anything happens, find your family Anonymous! Do not fight back! I can see the glint in your eyes… Look for shelter and hide.”
>Remember how you said this was going to be cool?
>.....
>YOU TAKE IT BACK! THIS IS TOO SCARY! D-Dad? Oh no… The only way to get out is if the entire section of the book you jumped into finishes. And it doesn’t look like it’s ending any time soon!
>DAAAAAAAAD!

>>29255386

And that's the end of Chapter 3! Anon's misadventures begin, and oh boy, is he in a heck lot of trouble. Leave any feedback and comments if you like. There's always something I can improve on.

>>29255386
King Latte and his daughter Princess Mocca

>>29255185
Oh Damn that pic is cute

>>29255397
So far, I really don't have any negatives, not any big ones anyways, minor, very minor stuff. Your Anon is simply lovable, a far cry from your previous one. His naiveness and wonderment about everything is simply adorable

>>29255386
Poor Anon his innocence is going to take away by Sombra

>As you both continued your trek. You noticed Discord taking a half moment to stop and look towards you silently. He never said anything. But it was clear he still had in his head that something could happen to you.
>You know you've gotten similar confessions out of him before. You even recall how he reacted when he found out about Twilight nearly sealing you.
>But this was the first time you had witnessed it. You saw his face when he didn't notice you. It was soul crushing. It was something even he couldn't fake.
>You knew Discord was actually closer to you then he lets on. Even if he already calls you his partner. Perhaps he really did take the "Son" thing seriously. If he ever knew, and ever witnessed you actually getting hurt. You knew he'd come to protect you. You knew that now. But only if HE UNDERSTOOD you were in danger.
>But as soon as everything was ok. He went back to his old dickish self. Simply because thats who he is. It's what he likes. And if he can get away with it, all the better for him.
>But, when it comes to you. The more you've come to realize this. The more you realized you could counter his chaos or even get on his nerves in a fashion much like him. And honestly? It was fun. Hell, you remembered the fun you had when you and him messed with Chrysalis. Probably a bad idea in the end though.
>Thinking of her though. Maybe it was time to ramp things up. If she was your friend, if she was capable of having moments like Discord. Which, thinking back on Gertrude, she could. Then it meant that maybe you could press her buttons further. Take risks, and see what works. Yeah, that "Welcome to Ponyville" Party? It had to happen.

>>29256820
"See somethin' you like?"
>you give him a sultry grin
>Discord just keeps his focus forward now as he dismisses any thoughts you might have. "Just making sure you don't go flying off a cliff" His tone, it was mostly serious even if he didn't mean to sound that way.
"Mhmmm, Hey there's the cave. We have to be pretty close now."
>"Good, I don't think I could stand another second without my powers. Really Anon, you're such a hooffull. I have to wonder how your marefriend can handle you and..." Discord looks back at you, you just make a kissy face at him.
>"uugghhhhhh..." Discord just turns and continues walking, stepping into the cave "Did I really care that much? I now question how I could have had such love in my heart and....STOP THAT!"
>You were sitting down, giving him big sad eyes.
"Daddy don't wuv me no mo?"
>"....now you're pushing it. Fluttershy wouldn't do this" Discord was near grinding his teeth. He was pointing at you indiscriminately.
"But I'm not Fluttershy. I'm Anon. And yoooooooouuuu're a butt!"
>You stick your tongue out at him.
>"oooohhhh....you are entering a world of pure terror if you keep this up" Discord's voice becomes the sound of pure evil as he angrily narrows his eyes at you.
"Ok...We got something to do anyway"
>You just shrug and walk past him, he doesn't even move position until he realized he didn't scare you.
>"........" Then a tear started to run down his cheek, as he began to pout. "...I'm so proud"
>You caught those words. You caught them as you stepped forward away from him. It felt good, even though you too were being an ass. It felt good to know that he approved. You could stop now. That was a good point to stop. You wiped a single tear from your eye without looking back at him. Was this how, a real "Father,son" moment felt like? Maybe in the vein of chaos it did.

>>29256888
>Discord turned and followed along with you. "Y'know Anon.Although ruling Equestria is FAR from my mind. It is nice to know that had I picked you up a little earlier, and with a little mind twisting here and there, that you would have made a fine chaos prince. To think, I could have Celestia. And you Luna."
>Wooooooah...wut?
"Y-you mean like...."
>Discord immediately knocks on your head. "Head out of the gutter Anon, I meant as our maids. Not as our concubines"
".....what's the difference?"
>Discord smirked, he even giggled at that one. "ha! You made a funny. Not appropriate for the ears of foals mind you. But still, that was rather good."
"....No...I was serious. I mean, Luna as a maid....that's uhh..pretty hot"
>"....." Discord then immediately goes stoic, and just turns and walks forward. "hopeless....hrn?" And that's when he notices, as do you. The vault. Or more. The redesigned vault.
>It looked nearly the same as you remember it from the show. But more horizontal than vertical now. Cuties marks painted on each door rather than actually containing a cutie mark itself. The area around it itself has been converted to a small workstation. Probably to have tools readily available to expand the vault if need be. It included a ladder for any door that was higher up. But due to the expansion. Those doors had no Cutie Marks yet. Which most likely meant they had no owner.
>And head still, was Starlight Glimmer, wearing a hard hat. standing a few feet away from the vault as she started giving a command to Double Diamond. A Totally white horse with either snowflakes or blue flowers as a cutie mark. You really had a hard time telling sometimes. He was also wearing a hard hat.
>"Alright Double Diamond. Give it the best kick you got!" Starlight cheered

>>29256906
>"No sweat Starlight, here we go!" Double Diamond gave the vault a gigantic buck. The strongest he had. And unlike when the stick was slammed into it. Nothing happened.
>Starlight seemed pretty pleased with the results as she jotted some notes down on a notepad. "Aha! Yes! Memories Vault two point five is a go! it's unbreakable in every way now. Now everypony's memories will be safe! Thanks for the help Double Diamond."
>"Hey, no problem Starlight." He smiled joyfully, feeling pretty good that everything worked out "It's really cool to see you out more by the way, that trip to Ponyville really helped you out huh?"
>"It did..." Starlight let out a calm and gentle sigh of approval as he thought on it "It's really amazing what happens when you manage to sort things out. Still, I wouldn't even have gotten this far without the support of the town, And...well...Anon too"
>"He seems like a pretty good kid. When is his birthday? Since he's that important, we could probably get the whole town to make a gift for him as thanks. Ya know, since he helped you out. And you're helping us out." He suggested
>"Hmm, I actually don't know his birthday. I never asked and he never said. I'll have to ask him next time we meet." Starlight looked upon the vault. You doors were just long enough to have the cutie marks on the top half of each door. The see through material of the door itself allowing one to see what each pony put inside. Starlight was viewing hers, which was one of the few that we're still empty. It seemed to upset her just a little. "Say, Double Diamond. Do you really think I had a good idea with this vault? There's still a few doors that are empty"

>>29257005
>Double Diamond seemed to immediately take notice and gave her a happy grin. "Of course it was. This was a super great idea. Everypony is so happy that they have a safe place to stash their happiest memories. A place where they can come together and share their memories with each other. And why even worry? Everypony will have those happy memories eventually. Heck, I bet you have a few right now. You just do have anything to represent it yet....hmm" He started to ponder, then, he thought he had it. "Wait! I know! Why not a picture of all the residents in town? To remind you how you brought us together like this. That'd work. Right?"
>Starlight seemed to like the idea. It made her chipper already as she smiled warmly at the stallion. "Yeah, that's a great idea. I'd like to have something like that. That way I never forget. You all accepted me back." Starlight stopped for a moment, then became more confident, even her expression showed it "And why would I ever want to forget that? All of you mean a lot to me. And I'd never ever would want to lose sight of how much it means to me!"
>"Yeah! Now that's the spirit! Oh yeah! I'm feeling really good now! Come on, let's go to Sugar Belle's and get us a-HOLY CELESTIA WHAT IS THAT THING!?!" Double Diamond jumps back in fright the moment he notices Discord.
>"Thing?...eh, close enough" Discord actually wanted to say something a little more mean. But he wanted to keep to his word. "At least he realizes I'm a threat. And with that said." Discord made a cheerful grin as he waved to him "Good Afternoon Mr.Stallion, how are you doing today!"
>Double Diamond gulped. But he immediately thought of Starlight's safety, and moved to her front despite being scared "Whatever you are, y-you better w-watch it. O-or I-I'll use your scales..erm..fur...something to line my skis w-w-with!"

>>29257027
>Discord groans and turns towards you "I can mess with him later, right Anon? I mean, he is threatening me. And I haven't even done anything wrong..." He looks back at Double Diamond with a smirk "yet"
>You step up into view. You better diffuse the situation. And quick.
"It's alright...Dad. He's just not used to you."
>You then make yourself known as you wave. Mostly towards Starlight.
"Yo! How are you doing Starlight"

>>29257030
Oi erf, did you like the switch?

>>29256888
D'awwwww

>>29257030
>Double Diamond becomes double nigger when he shoots Discord with a taser

Goddamn, why is the thread so slow

>>29257030
Goddamn I love the story but it takes forever to get anywhere.

Also, is cockfish dead/mia?

>>29257030
I greatly enjoyed Discord's and Anon's banter this update.
Can't wait for them to drop the 'Sunburst' bomb on Starlight.

Now it's time for my 3rd reboot

>A cocky smile grows in his face
“Ok, yes! I want to go”
>”Well, what species do you want to be?”
“I guess an alicorn is too much hehehe” you joke
>”That’s right, it requires too much magic to do it”
>This is a tough decision… for all I know about dragons, they are pretty douches like the griffons. And being a cute pony would be cool. But...what kind? Earth Pony? Nah, lame. Unicorn? That could be kinda cool, but the only ones which can make interesting things are the powerful and trained like Twilight or Starlight. A pegasus... Well, almost everyone in the show can fly and that’s an advantage.
“Can I be a Pegasus?”
>”Yes, but you have to start like a young one however, you can choose if you want to be a filly or a colt”
>Let’s see, would be interesting to be a filly, but… in most of the stories about Anonfilly she doesn’t have a happy ending. Without to mention how much you love your dong.
“A colt…”
>”Alright, I’ll make some magic” and he snaps his talon

>>29258616

>He snaps his talon and in a second your body starts to change
“Bang bang bang bang… wait am I still a gun?”
>”You want to be one?” He says while he rubs his talon with a nail file
“No, no. Now this it’s okay…”
>You go to your bathroom to look at yourself in the mirror
>You look so cool
>Your coat is light blue and you have a green mane with three shades
>Wow, horse cock looks weird
>”If you already have had enough fun with your body, we shall go to Equestria my young and” he pinches your cheeks “adowable cowt”
>You take out his paw with your hoof “Ok, ok. But can I take some luggage?”
“Alright but quick, we don’t have much time”

>>29258619
>And you find your old handbag that you used years ago in the graduation trip to Bariloche. You put your old walkman, a 99999 in 1 brick game, some cassette tapes and a baseball bat, just in case.”

>”Prepare yourself then” and he snaps his talon

>Wait a second, where’s your tongue... Of course in his paw, where else? “Oh sorry, here you have it” and he puts your tongue again into your mouth
>You start to spit out all the fur your tongue got in the draconequus paw
>”OK, before anything else, congratulations Pepe for being the winner of my contest. So, what would you like to be in the wonderful and amazing nation of Equestria?”

>Yeah, now you were frikin’ pumped, son! You don’t know where it came from, but you feel a lot of determination running through your horse veins! Just what you needed to help every single student of this school! Even those massive jerks of the sixth graders!
>Yeah! You don’t even mind that they… pushed a little colt in one of those bathrobes into a puddle… yeah… and they just took his saddlebag and tossed all of its contents into the puddle too…
>Hmmm, what to do, what to do… if you outright pickup a fight with them, you can only see this having a horrible aftermath for you, and- Nah! What were you saying?! You can’t stand there while those jerks are still picking on a colt that is like half their size! Nah, son! You were filling pumped…for some reason!
>You didn’t even care that your mothers will ground you for a whole month for what you were going to do. Nah, son! You are a Prince! And you have to protect ponies from jerks like these! Those guys are going down! DOWN, YOU SAID!
>You march towards the group of jerks and before they can notice your awesome presence, you focus and cast a freezing spell, effectively immobilizing those three stooges.
>”Mmnnnn! Hnnnnn! Bros! I can’t move!”
>”Me neither bro! W-What is going on, bro?!”
>”I-I don’t know bros! I think that this school is haunted, bros!”
>”Please be joking bro! I hate g-g-ghosts bro!”
>”M-M-M-Me too Bro! They are all spooky and not alive bro!”
>”I’m scared bros!”
>The small colt quickly gets up and frantically starts picking up his stuff, and of course, he starts laughing at the bullies while he was at that ”Hah! All of you arrogant fools are wrong! Hear me! The Great Crayola has spoken! And its colors do not show kindness to the ponies that attack the Great Crayola’s friends! No! Instead of the colors of friendship! The Great Crayola has chosen to punish thee with… with… that weird magical aura!”

>>29255185
I want Kinder Surprise to become great again.

>>29261018
>You can’t help but to laugh at their ignorance in advanced magic. But oh well, you guess that is time to finally speak up
“Oh, come on mates! I know that I’m good, but there’s no need to label my magic as “supernatural” well… to be fair, you wouldn’t be the first one to make such mistake, after all I’ve been told that my talent is far from natural”
>”W-W-Who said that bros?!”
>”I-I-I think it was the ghost, bro!”
>”We better run, bros!”
>”Hnnnnnn! I-I-I-I still can’t bro! I think the ghost wants to gobble me, bro!”
>Since those three bullies couldn’t move thanks to your spell, they of course couldn’t see where your voice was coming from, but seriously? They were still thinking that it frikin’ ghost after you clearly told them that it was YOUR magic the one responsible of keeping them from moving? C’moooon!
>But of course, that wasn’t the case with the little colt whose eyes starts sparkling hope as soon as he saw you, his tail swinging back and forth from the happiness “Be wary villains! Because the colors of the almighty Crayola has shone upon this colt! Behold! A true hero who has come to…”
>That moralistic almost religious tone of the colt, goes away in the immediate moment when he sees that all of his notebooks and paper sheets were ruined thanks to being thrown into the puddle “Awwww, man! C’mon! Those were my doodles, man! Awww, not fair dude! I worked super hard on these! How am I supposed to- … I-I mean!”
>The little colt blushes and clears his throat, rising his front legs up in the air “The almighty Crayola doesn’t take kindly these acts of vandalism! You have attacked the very manifus…manafas… Whatever is that fancy word that the grown-ups use! The Great Crayola likes to being offered tons of colorful doodles because the Great Crayola is a chill enough dude as show us how its wonderful colors reflects in everypony’s life in exchange of cool, colorful doodles! And-“

>>29261029
>”Just shut up already with your stupid crayon, bro! You are making my head hurt, bro!”
>”A crayon ain’t a bro, bro!”
>”I actually liked the part of the colors and- I mean, errr… shut up, bro!”
>As funny as you found this little scene, you decided that it was time to make your move, so you walk past the three frozen jerks and stand in between them and the little colt.
“I think that he means that there’s no ghost or other supernatural stuff going on around here, just me… and let me tell you mates, you’re in a world of trouble…”
>Well, it seems like you lack Cherrywood’s talent at spooking ponies, because as soon as you stepped in, the colts’ fear went away, replaced with confusion and a baffled expression… man, that filly really was something special, you wish that you had that kind of talent at scaring ponies and not caring in the slightest if they will be mad afterwards…
>Hmm, you wonder what she’s doing right now. Is she thinking about you? Is she spooking some innocent pony? Is she thinking about you while spooking some innocent pony?
>Sadly, all of your day dreaming would need to be put on hold since those three jerks decided to interrupt your wonderful thoughts about your wonderful girlfriend…
>”Yo, who’s the little filly, bro?”
>”I dunno bro, but she kinda has a weird voice…”
>”And why is she messin’ with us, bros?”
>What did they say? Did they call you… a filly?! A FILLY?! Those little imbeciles! AGH! YOU ARE NOT A FILLY!
“I’m not a filly you brain dead idiots! I’m a colt! For Pete’s sake! Are you blind or is your brain so useless that you can’t tell the difference between a filly and a colt?! Sheesh!”
>”Yo, what’s the filly sayin’ bros?”
>”I think she wants to say that she ain’t a she but a he”
>”Oooooh! And here I was thinking that this was the ugliest filly I have seen since my cousin’!”
>You slap your face and groan, that is, until one of those imbeciles calls to you
>”Yo, you seem familiar… aren’t you like the only colt in fifth grade?”

>>29261034
>You look at the jerks and raise an eyebrow. Well, it seems that Ruffle wasn’t the only colt in sixth grade who didn’t bother to ready the news, or… ready anything at all. But hey, at least one of these idiots recognized you for something!
“Seems like you are not THAT dumb… yes… that blessed colt is me alright”
>The three colts look at each other, chuckling maliciously as all of them gives you an almost sinister grin.
>”So you are the nerd who messed with our captain! Heh Heh Heh! I knew that you looked familiar, bro!”
>”That doesn’t matter, because soon yer are going to be in big, big trouble, bro!
>”Yeah! Do you know who are you even messin’ with, bro? You better start runnin if ya know what’s good for ya, bro!”
>You sigh and nod, giving the colts a smug smirk
“Oh, how scaaaaary! Hah! Please, What are you even going to do? You guys can’t move a single hoof! And yes, you can bet your untalented flank that is my magic the one to thank for that. But I’ll guess that you will want my name, and you’re in luck because I’m actually going to give it to you, I’m Anon and-“
>But the little colt who you were trying to protect jumps in front of you, dancing and laughing at his previous aggressors
“And he just taught a lesson that you will never forget! Never try to intervene with the will of the Great Crayola or you will suffer its colorful wrath! Remember it well, my friends, because now my savior and I have to go and enjoy our new found friendship under with the guidance of the Great Crayola and it’s colors that guide us all, now good day!”
>The little colt rushes to you and starts tugging your leg, clearly wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. But you weren’t done with those idiots yet, so you gently push him away and give him a pat on the head
“What are you talking about, mate? I’m not leaving, at least not until these knuckleheads learn their lesson”

>>29261054
>The little colt starts looking frantically at every direction as if he was expecting someone or something to arrive, and then he gives you a desperate look
“B-but, sir! I think that-“
>You chuckle and pat the little colt on the head once more
“Now, now, those bullies won’t do anything. As I said, I’m keeping them on hold with my magic, so don’t worry my little friend, it’s just that these three need to understand that they can’t go around and picking on smaller ponies like yourself. Besides, I want to have some fun, maybe doddle something in their faces or give them a good scare, how does that sound… eeeeh …hmmm… what is your name by the way?”
>”Scribble Scrabble, b-but sir!” The little colt pulls your leg frantically once more, his desperation increasing by the nanosecond… man, he seriously needs to lay off the coffee “Please listen to me! We have to go now before-“
>And just like before, you gently push the little Scrabble away. You give him a pat on the head and turn to the three idiots with an arrogant smirk on your face
“Now listen, here’s what’s going to happen... Oh…”
>And when you do, your smirk banishes completely, because right in front of you was…
>”Yo! Wha ya think ya are to mess with the Ruffle’s friends, huh?! Ya think that ya can walk into the Ruffle’s turf and not get Truffle’d?!” … it was the leader of the sixth graders himself… Ruffle Truffle…
>And he wasn’t alone; at least other five sixth graders were joining him… all of them colts who were unnaturally big for someone their age
>Okay, this got a little bad, but not that bad as you not being able to handle it with a bit more of your magic. Thanks again, Moon Dancer’s lessons! You just needed to change tactics.
>You feel Scribble Scrabble gently pulling you, his voice was a little more shy this time “S-Sir, I think that is time to go…”
>You gently push him to the side and give him a confident smile

>>29261058
“Hey, don’t worry, I have this under control, trust me…”
>You just have to act calm and collected, Ruffle Truffle is an idiot, but you’re sure that he will listen to reason, so of course, you do the most logical thing…
>…You chuckle and give Ruffle Truffle and his friends a super annoying, smug grin
“But what do we have here? If it isn’t Mr. Ruffle “I’m a crying baby” Truffle! What brings you over here, mate? Want another taste of my magic?”
>Ruffle Truffle’s left eye twitches as he stomps his left front hoof on the ground “What did ya say? Do ya really want the Ruffle and his awesome bros to give you the Ruffle’s special treatment? Because lemme tell ya nerd! If ya won’t stop with this then yer going to get Truffle’d really hard!”
>…Okay… you don’t know why you said that, but the guy hasn’t used the violent solution just yet, maybe you can still talk your way out of this one…
>Scribble Scrabble tries to pull you once more “S-Sir, please… m-maybe if we run now, the Great Crayola will display its great colors in the form of a beautiful blue mercy coloring a form of protection that will impede these ruffians from ever finding us until our parents come to pick us up.”
>You sigh… okay, let’s calm down a little and think about what your mothers would do… well, they wouldn’t tease their rivals like you just did… maybe… then again, your mom Celestia was more smug than you could ever hope to be, and your mom Luna wasn’t exactly humble when she faced Discord…
>Still, they have told you many, many, MANY times, that part of your duty is to protect those who can’t protect themselves, that’s what a member of Royalty should always do…
>If your mothers were in your situation, you were sure that they wouldn’t let a small, frightened colt to stick around. So, even when you were having your share of fun by making those idiots mad… you had to do your duty as a Prince…
“Scribble…”
>”Y-yes, sir?” The little colt asks with a meek voice

>>29261083
“Run, let me handle these idiots, trust me, everything will be fine, but I need you to go to a safer place than this…”
>The small colt look at the school’s entrance and then to you ”B-But, what about you sir? Aren’t you coming too?”
“Are you asking if I’m going to run away? Nah, I’m a Prince, mate. Royalty doesn’t run away from the bad guys, we take care of them. But I don’t want you to get hurt, so please, lemme handle this, okay?”
>”Y-You are a Prince?! WOW! The Great Crayola surely was extra colorful today if it decided to send such an awesome help! O-Okay sir! I will do as you say! B-But don’t worry! The Great Crayola followers don’t forget about anypony who protects the great colors of life that the Great Crayola grants us!”
>And with that, the little colt dashes away faster than an Olympic athlete… and he forgot his stuff…
>But this little scene just served as amusement for Ruffle Truffle “Would ya look at that? Not even those third graders weirdos want to be around your super nerdness! HAR HAR HAR! The Ruffle will Truffle him later. Right now, yer nerd flank is going to become the Ruffle’s property! Isn’t that right, bros?!”
>The unnaturally big colts huff and nod while stomping their hooves together… sheesh, they really looked strong… maybe they were actually midget minotaurs in disguise
>You walk towards Ruffle Truffle, looking him directly in the eye. Meanwhile, you were considering your options. Yes, you could continue your little display of quality smugness, but could only end up in you getting your flank kicked by a bunch of idiots and getting grounded until you became old enough to vote…
>Or... there was also the chance that maybe if you talk to Ruffle Truffle he will listen to reason and let you go, ask for forgiveness or something like that.

>>29261088
>That way, you still get to keep your teeth, your mothers won’t give the scolding of your lifetime, and you will look like a great diplomat! Yeah! This sounds like a reasonable option that would satisfy everyone!
>You just have to be calm and collected when you talk to Ruffle and his friends, and above everything else, you need to be nice and polite…
>So of course you gave him a smug smirk! Why not! To Tartarus with diplomacy! Diplomacy usually fails, anyways! You ain’t going to get humiliated by this gray imbecile! But this time, you didn’t direct your royal smugness to just Ruffle Truffle, oh no, you also took care to give some to the five unnaturally big colts too…
“I can see that you brought your girlfriends too! Sheesh Ruffle, I’ll have to give credit where credit is due, because lemme tell you my gray friend, I already had you in a low standard, but the fact that you are dating these mutated gorillas has made you achieve a new kind of low.”
>One of Ruffle’s friends actually growls at you, as in he actually growled like a dang rabid dog
>But you just shrug and laugh
“D’awww, did I make Ruffle’s special somepony mad? Don’t worry mate, after I teach you your lesson, you, Ruffle and the rest of your gorillas can go and enjoy that “special treatment” together!”
>Ruffle Truffle’s left eye twitches, but he does his best to keep his composure intact, letting out a fake chuckle and turning away from you ”Are ya fer real?! Ya know, fer a nerd you really are the dumbest! HAR HAR HAR! But you better keep yer lame mouth shut, or the Ruffle will shut it for ya!”
>You roll your eyes and laugh
“Oh, yeah? You and what army?”
>The grey idiot turned to you with a smirk on his face and said with an arrogant voice “That army” while pointing with his hoof towards… towards…the entirety of the sixth grade that was now surrounding you
“Oh…”

>>29261097
>You don’t know when they got here, or how they did it without you noticing them, but boy what you did know was that all of them looked really angry… at you.
>But hey! Like Cadence always says, let’s look on the positive side! You could see a clear, discernable pattern with this grade too! All of the fillies were dressed as cheerleaders while the colts had jackets with the school’s symbol…
>Oh man… jocks and cheerleaders, your natural enemy… now you know why you were acting so aggressive… well, they can hug a cactus! You hate jocks!
>All of the sixth graders started surrounded you in a circle, effectively cutting any possible escape route that you might have.
>The unnaturally big colts were now starting to get pumped, the colts were starting to walk towards with a menacing look on their face, the fillies started to do…well, cheerleader things to support their male classmates…
>You could see that Ruffle was enjoying the moment, but he did his best to not show it, instead, he asked in a serious tone ”Now what, nerd?! Are ya goin’ to use your nerd magic to freeze all of us?” well, as serious as Ruffle Truffle could get
>You shake your head
“Nope, so far I can only freeze a maximum of like six ponies, anything higher than that and the spell becomes unstable and eventually fades away… taking a good chunk of my magic with it…”
>And that actually made Ruffle Truffle laugh “HAR HAR HAR! I told ya nerd! I told ya that if ya mess with the Ruffle then ya get Truffle’d!”
>You let out a sigh
“Well… it’s like they say, you win some, you lose some… or something like that”
>That made the colts laugh and cheering from the fillies to increase… and while it was odd that no teacher has approached to stop the large group ready from beating you. You also remember that the sixth graders did get a lot of preferential treatment, or at least that’s what you deduced from Sunny Hill’s way to speak about them.

>>29261104
>And honestly? This really wasn’t that different from how school was back on Earth… well, at least how it was before you met Catherine.
>As for Ruffle, unlike the rest of his classmates, he wasn’t smiling, he wasn’t laughing. Ruffle Truffle just walked to you and but his head against yours, angrily whispering ”Any last words, nerd?”
>So let’s analyze the situation that you were in: right now you were surrounded by a bunch of jocks who really wanted to punch your pretty face, no way to escape, and you were also hungry…
>Man, you just needed to be drunker than an Irish man on Friday’s night and this would be Tijuana all over again…
>You give Ruffle Truffle one last smirk and even a gentle pat on his shoulder
“Actually, I do have something to say, my gray friend…”
>You dispel the freezing spell, letting the three original bullies to be free. And immediately after that, you teleported away from Ruffle Truffle and casted a shield spell that surrounded you completely.
“Hnnng!”
>The freezing spell… you didn’t end it in the proper way… it short-circuited, you could just feel that horrible electrical sensation on your horn… Moon Dancer is always telling you to cut that spell with the proper termination spell… but you didn’t think or focus fast enough…
>And just like Moon Dancer is always telling you… every time that a high tier spell misfires or short circuits, it will always end up draining a very significant amount of the unicorn’s magic… just like how it happened to you right now…
>Right… so far, you really haven’t been very diplomatic with the sixth graders. Maybe if you choose the right words… nah, you know what? Screw it…
>You shake your head and regain your composure, glancing at all the sixth graders; you bring your best smug grin so you could yell at them

>>29261270
“The sixth graders are a bunch of losers who like to eat dirt! Your cheerleading stinks and you are the worst hoofball players in all of Equestria! And ya’ll are so lame that you have to gang up on me! Well, guess what losers! You will need to double your numbers if you want to have a chance against me!”
>You look directly at Ruffle Truffle and narrow your eyes, giving him grin
“Now give me your best shot, sassafras! And try not to cry this time!”
>Well, if you’re going down, you’re going down smug…
>The sixth graders colts start to charge at you and… well; none of them could even put a dent into your all-mighty bubble shield of awesomeness! Yeah! Take that! Nerds 1 – 0 Jocks! Wait... did you call yourself a nerd? Ah, man….
>But that certainly didn’t stop these idiots from trying. They were stomping their hooves against your shield as hard as they could, some of them even used their honestly weak magic to try to break it in different ways, some threw their saddlebags at the shield, others threw hoofballs, and others were simply yelling at you…
>Like Ruffle Truffle, who kept charging and smacking his head against your bubble shield “Hnnng! Quit hiding like a nerd and fight the Ruffle like the nerd ya are!”
>You laugh at the little grey idiot and reply with a sarcastic tone
“Great line there, mate. You came with it on your own? Maybe if you hit your head a few more times you will actually stop stinking at hoofball!”
>”That’s it! Yer gonna get so Truffle’d that yer gonna dream with the Ruffle for the next month! Aaaaaaaah!” Ruffle Turffle charges against your shield again, but just like the other times, he just manages to bounce off and land on his butt “Ohfff!” And of course, you laugh at him harder than before
>You know, that is seriously impressive, anyone else would have gotten their head split into two after so many hits, but no Ruffle Truffle, oh no. He had a head that was harder than diamonds and a brain that was smaller than a peanut.

>>29261279
>Thinking about it, the entire sixth grade wasn’t giving up on their attacks. The colts kept tackling your shield, the fillies kept cheering for their classmates…and you were starting to feel a little tired.
>You can’t keep this forever, not after the freezing spell drained your magic so hard. You needed to dispel this shield soon or otherwise you were going to start suffering from some serious magical over exhaustion, and that just plain stinks
>And you can’t really run away either, it’s not like you can’t teleport away…it’s just that you weren’t going to give the sixth graders the pleasure of making you run away like a coward, no, you rather get beat down than being called a coward!
>Then again, they were decided to harm YOU in a serious way… man, you really need to get better at improvisation, because it seems like you just trapped yourself…
>But just when you thought that you had run out of options, a very young voice thunders across the mayhem ”You better stop that!...”
> You and the sixth graders look up to see who was the source of that yell…
>And there he was… rising from above the playground, that funny colt and his weird guys that you met during your escape from detention. They were looking down on the chaos that was happening, and you gotta admit, they looked kinda cool, even heroic if you have to admit it
>And they weren’t alone, a large group, similar in size to the sixth graders was joining them…was that what their grade “society” was about? Being heroes or something similar to that?
>Their leader… what was his name? Double Cottage… Triple something… oh yeah! Double Ocean! Yeah, that guy jumped from the top of the swings and landed in a somewhat clumsy way on the ground… well, he fell flat on his face, but the little guy quickly stands up and yells to his comrades “Secret Agent Foals! Battle positions!”

>>29261291
>The new group doesn’t hesitate for a single second and starts throwing marbles and stink bombs at the sixth graders, causing enough confusion among the older foals so that Double Ocean could quickly run to where you were
>Double Ocean frantically starts tapping your shield “Sir! Please remove the weird magical bubble and come with me! We don’t have much time!”
>You nod and quickly dispel the shield bubble
“Hah, just in time my friend! I was starting to ge- urk!”
>You forgot that your rescuers were throwing stink bombs at the sixth graders… a lot of stink of bombs, and they stank… a lot
>It seems like Double Ocean had some sort of resistance against the smell of dead cats, because he was taking that horrible smell like a true champ “Hurry up, sir! Our super mega stink-dunk bombs won’t distract these jerks for too much longer!”
>You were sure that your face was greener than the greener grass, your head was dizzy and your stomach was partying harder than Discord on chaos’ steroids…but despite that, you nod and try to thank your little savior
“T-Thanks…urk! Just…lead the way before I puke my entire insides…urk!”
>Double Ocean gives you a military salute and points to a breach in the sixth grader’s circle “We can escape through there! Follow me, sir! We need to get you inside the school building!”
>You decide that you were having none of that running non sense; part of you wanted to stay in and take advantage of this little distraction to at least show Ruffle Truffle who is boss, but on the other hand…
>The place stank harder than your mom Celestia’s attempts at being “hip”, nah, let’s get out of here. You will take care of Ruffle in another occasion. You hold Double Ocean before he can run away and focus your magic, teleporting the two of you out of the little skirmish and into the school hallways…

>>29261311
>Which they stank in their own way thanks to the staggering amount of posters with Ruffle Truffle’s face plastered all over the place, but hey, at least they didn’t smell like a wet hobo, and they had the plus of having a healthy low amount of ponies who wanted to push your teeth in.
>You lean on a wall to catch some breath… that was close, too dang close… and why did you act so hot headed? That wasn’t really you… then again, watching those sixth graders idiots to bully smaller foals was something that made you angry just by thinking about it…
>But Double Ocean seemed to be completely fine since he starts hopping all over the place, tail swinging back and forth and he was looking with an adorable cheerfulness ”Oh man! That was an awesome escape! Geez-Lois, I didn’t know that you could teleport too! Man, being a Prince must give you super-duper awesome powers, huh sir?”
“Gi…ve…me…. A mom…ent… please….”
>You were still out of breath… the interrupted freezing spell, that shield and the teleportation made you a bit tired. But after a few minutes, you were able to speak again
“I’m just good at magic, my friend. Now… why don’t you tell me more about you and your friends, huh? I would like to know more about my little saviors, oh… and… wait…”
>You take a series of breathing techniques that RD taught you to regain some of your stamina, and finally speak again
“I would also like to know if you perhaps known about a colt named Scribble Scrabble, kinda short, dressed in a bathrobe, and never shuts up about a great and powerful crayon or something like that…”
>Double Ocean nods “Oh yeah! The leader of the followers of the Great Crayola… he was the dude who told us that a prince was “being tested by the enemies of the Great Crayola colorfulness” or some mumbo-jumbo like that… and after asking our official translator, he told us that Scribble meant that you were in trouble…”

>You were going to ask Double Ocean to take you to Scribble, but before you can do that… the bell rings, marking the end of the recess…
“Awww, C’mon!”


And that's it for tonight! Hope that yo enjoyed it! As always, please leave any opinions and criticism that you might have about this update or the story in general. Every opinion of yours is deeply appreciat- You know, the Nintendo Switch really looks like it will be a blunder. Now, it doesn't mean that it won't sell, I mean that it won't have many games.

Just think about it, it's using a Tegra X1 chip, that stuff ain't powerful, the Skyrim footage that was shown in the conference was the Vanilla version, gamespot is saying that Zelda runs better on the wii u and really, look at the games, they look like Wii U games. This console isn't powerful, so third parties won't bother with butchering their games for a console that can't run it, they already have enough problems with the other two pieces of shit.

And then think about the online. Nintendo wants to charge for online gaming. They suck hard, like really hard at any online service known to man, and they will charge $10USD for their service. AND they will give you a free NES/SNES ROM and take it away after a month, that is some truly bullshit DRM.


Don't buy into the Switch hype, wait a couple years and see if the console is worth it or not.

>>29261346
Honestly pre ordering consoles in general is fucking stupid. Not only may it be shit, but it might not even get good releases. That's $300 down the drain instead of the usual $60 from pre offing games.

>>29261358
I would argue that no game in this planet is worth 60 bucks either. Wait for a sale, they don't take long to come when they are PC games and if you play on consoles you can simply wait a couple months and/or buy used

Good update, Ben; That was a beautiful ramp up toward adventure. Smooth OC content, too along with interesting world building.

>>29257030
Erf, from busted sides to adorable yet bizarre father-son bonding, these last three updates have been stupid delicious.

>>29258629
Wahaha, you posted it!
>>29258991
Totally my fault, Zenco wanted me to edit and I failed in my duties. BRB, committing suicide for honor of great family.

>>29260192
>about what alt futures would fit the other anons
That's an amusing line of thought,
reader anon. Wando Anon would totally roll into Zecora Vs Crysalsis future, and side with bug butt.
>>29260750
>Where'd Coffee go?
Dead dead dead, the spicy meatball got him for his insistence it's not an italian thing. Never cross the spicy meatball.

>>29261317
Pff-t-wahahahahaah-- PhD Anon has become Trump in Equestria. Even the 6th graders on direct assault, pushed forward by the cheers of their nubile peers, were unable to punt the punk, nerf the nerd, herd the turd, drain the vain, wane the stain, hang the wang, drink the fink, card the tard, jell it hard, wank the tank, spork the fork, waffle the Luddite, or-- ahh, that e nuf.

>>29261346
PhD will make the school yard great again! And he will start by removing all of the sixth graders who keep taking advantage of the poor students of the school!

Bump for school yard greatness

>>29262794
You feeling alright there buddy?

>>29257166
errrgggghhhhhh

>>29257030
>Anon?...." Starlight trots over to Double Diamond and puts her hoof on her back. Giving him a calm but stern expression "It's alright Double Diamond, It's just Anon...and his father, Discord." She looks back at the both of you. She didn't know how to feel. Because she couldn't guess why you both were here.
>"Discord? Anon's dad? Woah...sorry" Double Diamond clears his throat. He still found Discord's very visage to be intimidating. So he took only one step back to move away. But not to be rude. "Didn't know you were him. I thought you were some kind of freaky monster."
>Discord just crosses his arms as he raises an eyebrow at him. Annoyed that he was compared to some common "freaky monster". "........Sure, That seems to be the current consensus."
"Chill Dad, we're not here to start problems."
>In just seconds, the situation was already volatile. You had to snip that fuse.
"But yeeah, hey! So, I heard you were remaking the vault. That's sounds pretty neat."
>"Yeah" Starlight was immediately suspicious of you, while Double Diamond remained ignorant.
>Starlight remained calm, and carried on as if nothing was wrong. And walked over to the vault to present it. "It's a pretty big project that for now, is finished. It was Sugar Belle's idea in all actuality, the town just all agreed it was a good idea. If they didn't tell you what it was for though. It's a memory fault. We are using it to keep our most precious memories safe, figuratively and literally speaking of course. Double Diamond and I just finished testing it's durability. Since our first rebuild sort of....well..." She points to the workbench, there was a large gem that was kept under glass. "One of our townsponies tripped and this slammed into the vault and shattered a few of the doors. Not really worthy being called a vault if it shatters that easily. Then again, we did use old materials to rebuild it the first time."

>>29262820
I'm aware I deleted the post twice, just woke from a nap. a little scatter brained.

"That's actually pretty cool. I bet everypony in town appreciates it."
>Oh god, you were sucking at small talk right now. All you could do is seem gentle and pleasant.But the way Starlight is reacting to yours...no, Discord's presence. It might be wise to try to get some privacy.
>"Oh I know I do! Ahrm.." Double Diamond stepped up, now that things seemed more calm. He went up to Discord and held his hoof out for a shake. "By the way, I'm Double Diamond. It's cool to meet you Mr.Discord."
>Discord at first, just stares down at his hoof like it was gross. But then he smirks, bows, and gently grabs his hoof as he gives it a gentle shake "And a pleasure to meet you Mr.Diamond. You are quite a beauty of a mare I must say. Tell me, would you be interested in marrying my son once he becomes of age?"
>Double Diamond suddenly becomes super uncomfortable as he pulls his hoof away "I-I'm a s-stallion, a-actually. And uhhh.....uhhhhh" He couldn't come up with any words on how awkward that was.
>"Oh" Discord tone was of an immensely false sense of modesty and embarrassment "Silly me, I do apologize. I shouldn't have made such a assumption based off your looks. Please, forgive me"
>Double Diamond started taking a look at himself. Did he look like a girl? That's what he was thinking.
>You gave a quick jab at Discord's leg. Dammit, he said he'd behave at least. But he was already failing that.
"Dad...ahrm. Actually, ummm. Mr.Diamond, would you mind if I had some alone time with Starlight? I wanna tell her something super important."
>You give him a cute and innocent look. He still seemed a little focused on himself. now feeling self conscious about any femininity he might have. "Oh ummm..ok. Erm, That ok with you Starlight? " He now actually wanted to check himself in private anyway. How could anyone mistake him for a girl? and then offer their son?!...creeepppyyy

>>29262877
>"Yes, it'll be fine. A-are you going to be ok Double Diamond? You look a little..."
>Diamond Diamond immediately cuts her off with a slight, frantic raise of his voice. He felt embarrassed. Apparantly being seen as not manly was one of his buttons. "I'll be fine! -ummm..I mean." His voice becomes softer as he shuffles out. "I'll be ok. I'll just...wait til you're all done. I'll...be waiting outside." And so he went. Leaving you, Starlight, and a chuckling Discord.
>"Now that was funny! I wonder if he was actually considering the proposal. Wasn't that great A-.....really?" Discord can see your scowling face. This, at least to you. Was not the time for this shit. It would have been funny at any other time but this..maybe.
>Discord then looks upon Starlight. That also looked pretty displeased with him "...Really? Nopony found that funny?"
>"No. Why are you even here? If you came to get me for another "pirating" expedition. Then you can turn around and leave right now. I'm not going to deal with it." Starlight warns him "And dragging Anon along when I...think he should be in school" She wasn't sure of Ponyville's school schedule "I know who he actually is, but still. I'd think that'd be important for his ruse."
>"Pllllleeeeassseee" Discord found her to be rather presumptuous "You have it the other way around. Anon is the one who wanted to come here. I'm just along for the ride. Besides, until some other schmuck decides to take what is rightfully mine. You won't need to worry about it. And besides.." Discord starts to boredly look at claws of his claws. "I could find a better crew member than you anyway. You really did quite poorly as a pirate."
>"Whatever, I think you should learn to be a little nicer to ponies. I can't imagine how you treat Anon." That assumption that Starlight just made, it made Discord stop cold. And then get..rather angry.

>>29263085
>"You listen here you Cutie mark stealing, poorly colored, Twilight clone reje-" But before Discord could say anything else. You rush up to him and try to push him back before he does something he'd regret.
"Discord! Discord! Stop..ok! Please!"
>"Anon. Are you really going to let her talk to me that way? What did I even do wrong but have a tinch, teeny, tiny, weeny bit of fun? hmm?!" Discord didn't understand that he pissed her off with his comment towards Double Diamond.
"Discord, she's just mad that you insulted her friend. Relax, don't get your nuts in a bunch. Try to show a little humility, try to be nice, and maybe...just maybe. She'll not be mad at you. Why don't you try apologizing?"
>"Hmph, I have a better idea. How about I just leave!" Discord would have none of that, and snapped his talons...but nothing happened. "come on, come onnn..." He growled as sparks flung out from his talons like a lighter. No insta-teleport. He grumbles when he realizes why "..oh right. The deal....hmmnnn...Fine" He crosses his arms "I'll apologize to her when she admits that I'm not only a good friend, but also a good influence."
>"WHAT?! YOU SHOULD BE APOLOGIZING TO DOUBLE D-.....Anon. Why are you looking at me like that?"
>You were upset that things were already going wrong before you even mentioned anything.
"Please? What I have to say is really important, trust me....it really really is. I know he can be a big jerk. But he's also a good friend...sometimes."
>"All the time" Discord quickly corrects you as he looks down upon Starlight.
>"You gotta be....mmnngh..." Starlight did NOT want to do it. But she trusted you, and if you said it was important. Then she'd rather not have to deal with a jerk anymore and just find out what it is "Fine, you're a good friend and a good influence. BUT, I expect you to apologize to Double Diamond for what you said. A REAL apology, understand?"

>>29263120
>"I suppose I can do that." Discord grins, delighted that he was having his way "If you...OW!"
>Starlight's horn glows. And as it did. Discord found himself instantly slammed to the ground, then quickly placed back in his original position.
>"How dare you! I'M OW!" Discord found himself once again slammed again.
>"Anon! She's cheating! She's not allowed to use magic on me! That's not fair!" Discord tried to get you to call her off.
"No Discord, just do what she asked you. Apologize to the guy when we're done."
>"So he really doesn't have any use of his magic right now, huh? I almost thought he was faking it when he tried to teleport away." Starlight was pretty quick to pick up on that. "I did what you asked, so you better hold up your end of the deal."
>"I will OW!" Without hesitation or even waiting for him to finish. She slams him again. Noticing you didn't even try to stop her. She felt a certain control of the situation since it didn't seem you were objecting to her methods. She smirked at Discord "oops, I slipped that time. What was that?"
>".....Fine...hmph" Discord grumbled as he started to wipe dirt away from his face with a rock from the ground. "I don't remember ponies being so violent. Ok Anon, you have the floor. Let's just get this over with already"
"Ok..."
>finally....here we go.
"Actually Starlight, you got any tea or anything? You might want to sit down for this one"

>>29261807
no dude I copied wrong the file thanks for the help I hope you like the next post I'm writing now pd my bf helped me too with the english

>>29263149
>"Sit down? Is it that bad? Well, I didn't bring any tea but." Starlight uses her magic to drag a chair from the workbench to her so she can sit on it. But she couldn't understand what made the situation that dire "It can't be that bad. Or is it going to be bad because he's going to say something about it?"
>"Bad? Ohhhhhh, I could make it worse than bad. I could make it a nightmare that even Princess Luna he-" But again, you interrupt Discord. You didn't need this shit.
"Discord, hold off ok! Please? Can you just...this once...just...relax."
>You had to take a breath. Suddenly your own nerves were jittery. It was like a bomb ready to explode. The situation that is.
>"But, what about her! She's the one who made the insinuation! You can't just go telling me off yet letting he-" Again Discord is cut off, this time by Starlight.
>"I'm sorry Discord. I shouldn't have made that remark. I was just, making bad assumptions." Starlight calmed herself down, and took a breath "I don't want to cause any trouble. So I'm willing to be civil, if you are"
>Discord only found that more anger inducing. He was gripping his talons. He wanted to be the one to calm the situation. He wanted to say one more thing. But when he looked down at you to say it. He could see in your eyes, just how well you wanted the situation to go. And how you just wanted things to calm down. And it made him think back to moments before, when he almost lost you. He didn't want to lose you over this either. He slowly calmed down. Took a breath. And just sat down, curling his tail to use as a chair. "I accept your apology. I suppose, that I too am sorry. For my...things...that I caused. I'll keep quiet now until you both are done. Carry on Anon"
>Thank christ. It finally sunk in.
"Thank you Discord....Really, thanks. Ok....Starlight. I need you to brace yourself. This is pretty heavy"

>>29263283
>"I'm braced Anon. And trust me, anything you have to tell me? I can handle it. I have my stuff together now. Look..." She took off her hard hat. Revealing a new mane style. She gave you a sweet and cute smile as she awaited your response "How do I look?"
>Her mane style. it just flowed back with her mane tied like a ponytail. Her banes coming out from the front to look almost like a human like style. It was cute. She looked like a cute teenager. It really was fine. It's not like she looked half bald with her mane jutting out in a curl or anything.
"It looks really cu-great actually. You look young,strong, cool."
>Even with that slight uplift to see her so confident. You were still afraid that this could go bad. But you had to do this. no matter what.
>"Thanks! That really means a..lot...Anon? wow, heh" She chuckles nervously "Is it really that bad? I mean, trust me. I can handle anything you throw at me."
"Ok, well..that's good. Because...well....ahrm...here we go"
>You stall for one moment. Noticing that as you do, she confidently pats her ponytail back as she stares at you with an eager expression.
"....I found Sunburst. And I spoke to him."
>Her pupils shrank immediately, she just...froze in place. As if she was having a flashback. She was shaking. She was shaking more and more by the second. She didn't say a word.
"Starlight?"
>"Hrn, I know I said I'd be quiet. But it appears she's having some sort of mental anguish just from that name. Anon, are you sure you're not causing chaos on purpose?" Discord just stared at her, finding it all curious.
"N-no..."
>you got up to check up on her. you tap at her knee
"Starlight?"

>>29263350
>After awhile, she actually jerked her leg away and hopped off the chair. backing up as she looked at you. pure terror on her face. "Anon, you didn't. There's no possible way. You actually?.....met him? When?! How?!"
"He was..."
>Oh boy, just keep it chill Anon. Don't make anything sound grand.
"He was living in the Crystal Empire. Ran into him when, say, during the Crystalling. And one thing led to another and now he's the magic adviser of the royal family. Pretty coincidental right?"
>You try a nice soothing smile to break the tension. But she just breaks down. and grabs you with her magic. Shaking you, not even realizing she was doing it "THAT'S IT?! YOU JUST TALKED TO HIM AND HE SUDDENLY BECAME AN ADVISER?! THAT JERK NEARLY RUINED MY LIFE AND YOU DIDN'T.... I MEAN...I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY....I MEAN, I..I....YOU DIDN'T...HOW?! DID YOU AT LEAST SLUG..him...one?" She realized she was shaking you hard, she saw in your eyes that she must have even hurt you. "Anon..I'm...I"
>You put your hoof to your head. Trying to straighten your vision from the shaking. You felt a little pain in your joints. But totally manageable. You wouldn't blame her for her reaction. You wouldn't chastise her for it.
"No, it's fine. I expected that reaction. I just didn't know any other way to explain it. Starlight, are you ok? I'm sorry, but I felt you had to know."
>"Anon..I just. I...I never even thought I'd hear that name again. At least not in a way that suggests he's still around. But..." She felt an anger growing within her "He became an adviser huh? I guess all that time studying to be a wizard REALLY paid off. I bet he's really happy about it. I wonder how many more friends he threw away to get there. That's fine, totally fine. Because any friend he threw away, if they ever come here, if any of us ever find them. We'd welcome them here with open hooves."
>Well shit. Yeah, convincing her he was a gigantic asshole. Now? Wasn't the best thing you've ever done.

>>29263464
"Starlight, I know your angry. I really do. But I was wrong. I spoke with him. Everything we thought he was. Everything...I told you he probably was...it was wrong. I was wrong."
>"Really? And how were you wrong? What, did you talk to him about what happened or something? What sob story did he give you to make you feel sorry for him?" Starlight looked over to vault door with her cutie mark on it. It was empty, her past felt empty. And it was his fault. That's how she felt. "He's lying scum Anon. You said it yourself. That he was just bad." She started to tear up. She was breaking inside. She felt her past was completely true. That Sunburst was a traitor. There couldn't be any other reason for him just abandoning her. It....still haunted her.
"I-I know what I said. But I was wrong. Starlight, we had a discussion. And we brought you up. I talked about everything that has happened between us with him and..."
>Suddenly, Starlight blew up on you "YOU TOLD HIM EVERYTHING?! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! YOU DON'T MEAN WHAT I THINK YOU MEAN, DO YOU?!"
>You flinched.This wasn't good. She was pissed. You filled her head with enough hatred for him that now you were seeing just how hard it was to fix it. But..you had to. You couldn't leave until you did.
>...and for her. You had to step up. Just like how you were planning to step up for Chrysalis. How you managed, in the end, not to spaz with Luna, and kept Scrappy from being seen as evil, and that you would help Scrappy himself, with Scootaloo in the best way you can.
>.....fuck..this was hard. You had a fear of losing Starlight. But you couldn't just let her be angry and hateful.
"It's exactly what you think. Starlight, listen. I mean this. We were wrong. He became as lonely as you were after he left."

>>29263511
>"..Y-you expect me to believe that?! Anon, he went to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Nopony that graduates from there ends up alone. His dream was to become a wizard. And since he became A MAGIC ADVISER. Which, by the way, you just mentioned he became. I find it REALLY" She started to step up to you, practically growling in anger, forcing you to step back. "REEAALLLY hard to believe!"
>Holy crap. Starlight, face to face. With her raw anger. She was as scary as an adult as she was an angry filly.
>"If I may interject." Discord raises his a talon to make himself known. "I happen to think Sunburst is pathetic and quite the fame stealing upstart. Sunburst actually turns toward Discord. Then back at you and points towards him.
>"See? Even Discord hates him! Which means he also met him. You can't just defend him when e-" But this time,Discord interrupts her.

>>29263548
>"If I may FINISH! hmn, I swear. You ponies and your assumptions.This is why misunderstandings happen. And while I usually enjoy when one pony butts head with another. I feel that, at this time, my partner in chaos needs a little help from me in a sense that...egh" Discord sticks his tongue out and scrapes it with a claw "ugh....Yes, help him in a more harmonic sense. For you see, Miss Glimmer, This Sunburst fellow is a truly pathetic pony in the sense that he actually failed Celestia's silly little school of unicorn whatevers. He failed so badly that he became a hermit. And to think" Discord scoffed "He was so ashamed that he couldn't even build the courage to contact you. An equally pathetic pony, at least at the time. I can be nice, you are...less pathetic than him..I suppose. He felt you would hate him because of what a failure he was. He never made a SINGLE friend since he left. Laughable really, since even I managed to make a friend in Fluttershy. No, this pony in particular only even managed to become an adviser because he had the knowledge to save Equestria. Big whoop! Who cares, I could have saved it if I had a little more time."
>Discord stood up and stepped past Starlight Glimmer as he gazed upon the vault. "And even after he became an adviser. He's still sooooooo pathetic. If I were to compare it to this vault. You at least have an idea or two on what to put into your safe. But for him? He's so miserable with himself that even his happy memories have become sad ones. Honestly, I eavesdropped on everything to dig up some dirt to rub in Cadence's face on what a worthless pony he was that when I found out EXACTLY how worthless he was. Well, it wasn't even worth it. He's below me. tch, and to think, he's even afraid to face you. He believes you're much better than him in magic. When real magical juggernauts such as myself exist to be believed in. But, beings like myself seldom EVER get the recognition we deserve. What a pity"

>>29258629
Kill yourself, retard.

>>29263559
>Did Discord. Did he just...?
>You look upon Starlight. Who approached him. Curious, and even scared. About what she was previously thinking of.
>Starlight actually believed him. Well, it was the truth. But in the cruel way he described it and considered himself the better of everyone. It made her believe it was the truth. That this lord of chaos would belittle someone so beneath him. If it was a lie, he would have praised him. Or defended you. But he just shittalked Sunburst so much. It was believable.
>"...Are you saying? He was afraid of me? That he just...ended up failing at magic? That can't be right. Why would his parents take him to Canterlot if he was never that good."
>Discord just hummed to himself as he observed the vault.
>"TELL ME DISCORD! TURN AROUND AND ANSWER ME!" She snaps at him. She demanded to know. It was like a jigsaw puzzle had been thrown at her. And she just needed that one piece to put it together.

>>29263590
>Discord put his talon into his ear and began to spin it around inside. "No need to shout! I can hear you" Discord turned around, acting aloof about the whole thing "If you must know, if you need to hear it again. Yes, he was afraid of you. He lived a life of seclusion because he couldn't stand the thought of disappointing you. The pressure was simply too great. He shamed you, he shamed his parents, he shamed the school, he shamed the whole unicorn race really. And then one meeting with me and Anon and he gets lucky enough to land a job in the Castle itself. Insane I know but sometimes even terrible things come from chaos. In anycase, I hope that satisfies you. Because recounting on this subject both bores and disgusts me. And I'm done. Anon, I'll be waiting by the entrance of the cave. So please hurry up. I want to get this,a nd the apology towards that girly horse done as quick as possible" Discord gives you a wink, then steps off to leave you alone with Starlight.
>....holy fuck. Did he just...do that?
>Starlight froze. She was coming to the realization. Without even speaking to Sunburst himself. That he suffered as much as she did.

Yo

>>29263595
Holy shit Discord to the rescue.

>>29263350
I shit you not, this is how I thought that GlimGlam would look in S6

>>29263595
I honestly don't know if Discord was being serious in his shit talking, but what I can feel is that he made it not because he hates Sunburst, or not entirely, he did it for Anon, and this and the last update shows that Discord loves him almost like an actual son.

>>29263548
Wew lord. Had to fix this part in the pastebin

When did he get there? Unless you meant Starlight?

>>29263595
Discord is a great chaos partner.

>>29265553
fixed it in the pastebin. I goofed without noticomg. I meant Starlight

>>29265344
Don't worry he will go back to being a pussy as soon as someone tells something mean to him

Essay anon here and lemme tell you that first of all. I'm frustrated with the lack of posting from other anons, they may be reading the stories but not posting anything in response to them is just encouraging the writters to simply stop writting.

But moving on, it is quite refreshing to see erfanon trying to act rational and even a little smug in this situation. Albeit failing at the end and needing Discord's help, it is nice to see him trying to actually use his head for anything other than hit it against everything.

As for PhD we have the exact opposite, he acted all passionate and irrational, hell, he even was a bit heroic. And yes, he also failed miserably and needed to be rescued, this time by the pony KND. But it was nice to see him act that way, to deviate a little from his usual logical and sometimes cold self.

For the first time in the history of the world ErfAnon actually acted much more mature than PhD

>>29265861
Bum

>>29265861
I'm still one thread behind and haven't caught up yet. Last thing I read was Ben Dovers update from like a week ago and gave my props. I'm out of the loop on Elo's story since he went to Ponyville with Ageia.

>>29267519
You literally dropped off before one of the highest points of elo's story

>>29267888
It's okay, a couple other anons also said that they dropped my story because the horrible grammar that I used to have before I stopped being lazy and edited my stuff or because my story has a lot of OC's

>>29268117
Elo you're perfect

>>29268216
Awww shucks, I do try my best and I hope that I have been succesful in keeping entertained all of you who keep reading my story

>>29267888
Sure seems that way
>>29268117
Nope, I didn't drop your story it's just that I've been really busy lately. Your shit is cash money but I didn't have the time recently to catch up. Your characterization is top notch and I love your OC characters as well.

Erfgreen when?

>>29265861
you'd be right essay Anon. My drive comes from critique. without it. I lose motivation. have some cute

>>29263595
>And you? You were stunned. Discord, the spirit of chaos. Just helped you out without asking for a favor in return. Without using his magic, which he couldn't anyway, And managed to do it in a direct way. Something he didn't really do the last few times you attempted something like this. He legitimately helped you without making the situation worse or through any real cruelty. It was astounding. But you also couldn't squander this moment.
>You yourself, if you wanted to finally put yourself in the forefront of solving issues like this. Then you had to step forward, figuratively speaking, and do what a true friend should do. And help her through this. You made a mistake with Scoots by being selfish and crude. You wouldn't fuck up with another friend this time.
"Starlight, are you ok?"
>".....Anon, everything he said. Everything you're saying. It's really true...right?" Her eyes were glistening. Her first firend. Her original best friend. Her cruel ambition that she had. All a misunderstanding? It was like some sort of PTSD styled flashback to her.
>You nod, you felt so bad for her. All you could do was try to work her through it. But if that's all you could do. You'd do it with maximum efficiency.
"It is, I wouldn't be here if it was a lie. Starlight. Sunburst, he wants to meet you again. He really does. He wants to try to patch things up with you."
>"But...." Starlight started to finally move as the tears slowly started to run down her face "It's been so long. We're both very different ponies now. Anon...I have a new life to live." She turned her face away, she didn't want you to see her cry. "And...my old life was all based off a misconception. How could I even try to rebuild our friendship with him after all that?"

You know guys, I've thinking about Celestia and how she would take the news about that other anon being her son in another dimension.

I think that she would get desperate and erfanon never realized the amount of chaos that he brought upon the alicorn sisters. Just think about it: Your deepest desire, the one that you have never told to anybody, not even your loved ones is actually real in another dimension, and he came to your own dimension, he is real, in another dimension your dream came true. Celestia would be filled with what if type of questions.

Furthermore, what if Celestia found a way to have a small glimpse at that other dimension (And she very well could do that)? What would she think when she finds out that the son of her other self is not what Celestia expected, but instead he is way better than even her wildest dreams and hopes?

Would Celestia shrug it of as just a case of bad luck for having erfanon in her dimension or would she try to make contact with her dreamed son? Would she try her very best to shape erfanon into that dream come true or would she become depressed that maybe if things went a little different, she could have had the life she always dreamed of, with a son that turned out to be better than any expectation and hope she could have had? ErfAnon surely earned that cutie mark in chaos, because I'm sure that he created a lot of chaos in Celestia's heart and mind.

>>29270020
"Well, you beat the tar out of me when I turned you into a filly. You also tried to take advantage of me so you could rule the world. All this during your "old ways" and I forgave you, and I didn't even know you. And then there's Twilight and her friends. You locked them in a shed for a like a day or two. And they all forgave you. Sunburst? It's not even you having to ask for his forgiveness. If anything, he'd be the one asking for yours. And, after talking with him. He seems like a pretty nice guy, I can see why you were friends with him. So....why not give him another chance. Huh?"
>You give her a gentle smile. You stay strong for her. And hoped your logic was good enough to convince her.
>"That's right..." Starlight started to rub her foreleg with her hoof. Nervous, scared, saddened. "I guess I would have to be the one to forgive him....huh. I guess it'd be all on me, right?"
"Not in such a harsh sense. You could just catch up on things over something like lunch,breakfast, tea...something like that. C'mon Starlight, before I even walked in here you were brimming with confidence. And I know that confidence is still in you. You can do this."
>"....wow..." Starlight wiped off a tear from her face. She was astounded by your words and the way you put it. "I...Anon. I." She stopped, and looked right into your eyes. "I...hmmnn. I actually feel a little better just from hearing that. But, are you really sure it'd be that easy? How would I even get into the castle?"
"Easy,, just tell a guard that I sent you, and ask for Princess Cadence or Shining Armor. Trust me, it'll work. Or just send a letter to let them know. Either works really....you feeling better Starlight?"
>"I am, which is kind of amazing since I'm still scared. I guess seeing you that way just hit a switch in my head. I realized I was being selfish, so many ponies have forgiven me. The least I can do, since he knows I'm still around, is go and forgive him. Do you think he;ll be happy to see me?"

>>29270044
We'll delve into that eventually. but as I do want to keep the story as seperate as possible. There will only be so much to it. But Celestia's interest will be much greater than Luna's. That's for sure

>>29270077
"I think so, heck. I know so. And if you want, I can go with you to make sure everything goes smoothly."
>"No." Starlight shook her head. She walked up to you, and gave you a sweet and gentle hug "I have to do this on my own. I need to know if I can handle this. Or if I'm just saying I can. I'm still scared Anon, I really am, but if you're there. Then it means I won't have gone to see him on my own merits. Thank you though, for getting me this far."
>You gently return her hug. It worked. a little more quickly than you thought. But you guessed bringing up the fact that disregarding his own want for forgiveness would be pretty asinine But it also seemed it wasn't truly complete either. Her courage could be just....temporary. She wanted to take the final step on her own. Which could mean anything really. You could try to force it. But, you didn't want to be Chrysalis in the situation either. Now? All you could do was hope.
"You're one of my best friends Starlight. I just wanted to help you. That's all."
>You could feel relief come over you. Before this moment, you felt that you may have overdone it. Or didn't do good enough. For once, you did it just right.
>"You're both absolutely terrible! Really? no "I can't Anon, what if I make him hate me" or "What if I snap and break his face Anon, I'm just soooo angry". What a terrible show. Totally unbelievable." Discord had ended up walking back towards the both of you sometime during all this. When you both looked up at him. He just smirked at the both of you. "...I will admit though. It is a rather sweet moment. So much so..." Discord pulls out a camera and snaps a photo of the both of you, which produces a photo almost immediately. It seemed his magic was back.

>>29270102
>Discord then holds the photo towards Starlight. His smirk becoming of a more soft and loving sort. "That this should be your first precious memory for that gaudy little vault you have."
>Starlight slowly let you go as she held up her hooves to take the photo. It wasn't perfect, as it was caught when you and her looked at Discord with a "Oh god, here he comes" face.
>But still, it started to make her cry again. And she instead went and surprised hugged Discord. "Thank you, I love it"
>Discord didn't seem to expect the hug, he looked down at her in surprise, then he looked to you. You had a smile your face and started making hugging motions. To get him to hug back.
>Discord then, very slowly, very reluctantly, wraps his arms around the pony. And gives her a gentle snuggly hug. "Oh, I suppose a small hug won't hurt. I know Fluttershy would probably be happy with me right now. And I suppose, I should say an encouraging word of my own. Let's see...Ahh, yes..." Discord gently pulls her away, kneels on one knee, and puts a ball right in front of her. "Son, you have to believe in yourself, you need to get this ball into the basket and win the game. Everypony's hope rests on you. And I know you can do it. I believe in you"
>Starlight looks at him, first confused, and then she starts to laugh. "Ok, that's pretty funny. hmmnn.." Her laughter slowly subsided as she looked up to Discord, as thankful to him as she was to you "Thank you Discord, you're not as bad as I thought you were"
>"...Oh...let's not go that far." Discord warned "I've done my good deeds for the day I think. My magic is back..." Discord snaps his talons, making a beach chair appear behind him as sunglasses appear over his eyes. He dives back into the chair as he conjures a drink of frozen fruit punch with cubes of warm liquid floating inside it. "And I've had my fill on this little venture, just tell me when it's over"

>>29270192
>Starlight still couldn't help but smile at him. But with his attention gone. She shifted back to you "Well, I feel better now. You two are pretty good together. Hard to imagine he was once a huge jerk."
"Well, he's Discord. You really have no idea what you're gonna get with that guy. But I would never trade him up for anything."
>She really did look a lot better. She took another look at the photo. Then went to put it in her locker within the vault. "I guess that means that whole Father son thing isn't so fake after all. heh, it's cute. but, I guess I'm going off subject. " She lets out a calm sigh, and looks to you with confidence "I think I can totally handle meeting Sunburst now. I guess I just needed some positivity to balance out the negativity."
>It was good to see her like this. It made you realize something too. Even if you did have a stronger will to help others and manage your problems. You knew you had friends to get your back when things seemed hopeless. You also, just needed to remember to also be responsible. to avoid a similar situation like that of Scoots.
"I'd just like to think of it as a little push from your friends. I'm glad we were able to help Starlight"

>>29270272
>"I'm glad too. I really am.....oh!" Starlight realized she forgot about something and walks over to the workbench and opens a drawer "We've made a little progress on this taser thing by the way" She holds it up with her magic. It seems she's taken the liberty of making a few modifications to it. It's been repainted. And there was a strange cylinder near the trigger. A strap, supposedly for hooves, was also added to it. "While I wasn't able to figure out anything about what it has to do with that other Anon you mentioned. I did find out that the make of it is actually pretty simple. So I sort of reverse engineered it annnnnd." She attaches the taser to her hoof and thrusts her hoof slightly, causing a small bolt of electricity to shoot out a few inches. "Zap! This special battery here is based off the one that got used before we got it. All you need to do is put some unicorn magic into it and it converts it to electricity using the original battery inside. It was pretty easy to figure out, I really thought it'd be more complicated. But I can't take all the credit, we do have some amazing tinkerers in the town that got the battery working. Neat, right?"
>Woah. So it still works. But, a shame it's a dead end when it comes to that other you. You should have expected that though. A single simple object like this wasn't going to get anywhere. Still, she seemed happy about the conversion. It was pretty neat. A real showing of pony ingenuity.
"Yeah woah. More useful than the tasers back in my world. Though, I guess it's most useful in the hooves of a unicorn. Are you going to use it or are you going to mass produce this thing?"

>>29270445
>"Ummm, I haven't decided. This is still just a prototype" She puts it back into the workbench's drawer. "I'd like to make a few to help the townsponies feel more safe. We're pretty alone out here and sometimes there are a few scary creatures that come nearby. But we have to get the kick on these things down. Right now? It's enough to knock out a pony. That's a little too strong I think"
"I guess, it's supposed to cause a strong shock though. And if there's monsters that show up every now and again. It might not be a good idea to make it too weak."
>"I wasn't going to make it that weak. Just enough not to knock out a pony in a single shock. It seems a little rough to me. You know what I mean? Or maybe I can just find somepony in town who can make have settings. That way it can be adjusted depending on the situation" Starlight pondered, she hadn't thought of it before. But your suggestion made her realize that this was probably the best option. But then..something else entered her head. "Actually Anon, if we forget the taser for a second. Can we talk about the changelings in your basement? And don't tell me I shouldn't worry, because I know what changelings are. And that's serious business. I just want to make sure, as a friend, that you're handling this."
>"Yes Anon, HOW is that going?" Discord says from his chair. Not even turning his head towards you. "I didn't really get a chance to eavesdrop on that little mission of yours. How did it go?"
>"Mission? What is he talking about?" That caught Starlight's attention. And you know? You weren't worried. Good stuff came out of it.

>>29270535
"Oh, you'll love this Starlight. Get this, you know that changeling disguised as a puppy right. Well, first. Super confirmed, he likes my filly friends and he's even friends with Princess Luna now. And Queen Chrysalis doesn't even realize it. And then, Queen Chrysalis herself gave us a mission to hunt down a rogue changeling, that, as it turned out, was totally good. Like, he just wants to be friends with ponies because he's sick of being around changelings. So we made up a story that we destroyed him, and Princess Luna took him back to Canterlot to y'know. Learn more about him and the changelings. Basically, I'm finally making progress. Because now I know the changeling hoard themselves can be reformed. Pretty good, right?"
>"Are you serious? Princess Luna took in a changeling she just met? How could any of you be sure that he wasn't fooling any of you? These are changelings, remember?" Starlight was trying to keep you at a certain state of caution, she didn't want to hear in the future that the changelings tricked you.
"Because I trust Scrappy, that changeling disguised as a puppy. He lies to Queen Chrysalis, and while he's not fully reformed. He loves his friends, and he would do anything for them just to make them happy. So when he said to me that Thorax was a traitorous wimp. I believe it, because that's what he is. a total pony lover. I'd stake my own life on the fact that that is true."
>"Yes, I would also stake his life that it's true. I've seen that puppy. Dumb as bricks that one.He doesn't even know what he wants. Conquest? Friendship? He's so much in the dead zone that the only thing that matters to him is just keeping the friends he has while obeying his queen, A being like that? Anon would be right, he's trustworthy." Discord comments as he brings out tanning mirrors.....for use in a cave?...fine.

>>29270637
>Starlight sighs "You two are so insane. But, if you're that sure. Then I won't say anything more about it. But Anon, just be careful ok? If it's really true, then I'm glad. But from the sounds of it. But I doubt every changeling is like that. You need to be careful"
>This..this you would take to heart this time. You screwed this up already by not taking more caution. You wouldn't tell her that you fucked up. You wanted to end this on a good note.
"I Understand Starlight. I promise to be careful. But I really think I have a handle on this and...uh?"
>Starlight moves in for another hug and holds you close "I mean it Anon, if you end up in a grave, I'll dig you up just to throw you back in. You got it?" She stops hugging you and looks into your eyes with deep seriousness "I mean it too, I have a shovel at home."
"I got it Starlight. I promise, Trust me, I totally have a grip on it."
>"I hope so Anon" She hugs onto you again "I hope so"
>There wasn't much more to the visit after that. There was a little more small talk, and then Discord reminding you that you had something to do. And then, without actually apologizing to Double Diamond . As Discord didn't want to deal with it. You both left, with one more hug to Starlight. And a sharing of good luck to the both of you. You could only hope for her to have success.You wished she'd take you with her. But, you just had to trust in her.
>You wanted to talk a little more with Discord as well. But he reminded you that he was going to visit Fluttershy for a little R&R and that you had important business of your own to attend to. And he especially didn't want to talk about how he was acting nice. So he returned you to your room.
>As for you yourself? You were happy. Happy to help Starlight, happy for the support from Discord. Happy that you felt you had a better grip on how to do things. And now? You were going to be happy to help Scrappy.

>>29270696
>Starlight moves in for another hug and holds you close "I mean it Anon, if you end up in a grave, I'll dig you up just to throw you back in. You got it?" She stops hugging you and looks into your eyes with deep seriousness "I mean it too, I have a shovel at home."


Hah, holy shit

This was an adorable chapter. Lots of cuddly Starlight.
