Howdy, partner!

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

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


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

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

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

~~~~~

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

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

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

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

Thread 179! And with the invasion there's a lot on the line!

So I know we want this to be spikes shining moment, or at least amount to getting back into the groove, but is anyone else worried about us overcompensating in the other direction? That's what burned him out as it is.
>>
>>29363056
>AJ gets adopted by Flim and Flams parents, and she's their sister

I... i kind of want this. Is there a fic like this?
>>
>>29363118
Never seen one, but that does sound interesting.
>>
>>29363101
What burned him out was AJ becoming her own character, not us trying to make him cool.
>>
>>29363101
I'm not particularly worried about that, our writefags know their stuff when it comes to damn fine action sequences, and Spike has an innate disadvantage to him, so as long as he doesn't turn into Spikolo Thundercock and easily outsmarts and wrecks the others despite a host of disadvantages and become enlightened with a zen-like mentality(Which, I will admit, happened ONE TIME in the series, but we shouldn't focus on it as it was deemed NC) I think he'll be okay.

I'm more worried about it going in the other direction and him just being punch-bait to say "No really our villains are super capable they beat SPIKE easily! SPIKE!"
>>
>>29363149
Which story was that?
>>
>>29363227
The NC one? I meant the OnO match between Spike and Cadence when he aburptly became the firelord, we skipped ahead a couple days, Luna and Pennydrop were completely silent, and then he completely destroyed Cadence who had an elemental advantage and skills to boot before martyering himself in order to 'save the world'.

I know, but we all have our silly moments, let's not be dicks about it.

>AJ
"Celestia"
~~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"And I don't. Have you ever noticed that? You notice I never come bug you with questions? But you do it to me. You do it all the time. How is that fair? We live in an unfair world, and it's up you, the legendary hero of Equestria, to bring balance back to the force! The Question force! Bring balance Applejack!"

>Kay, you can ask a question.

"But if I don't then you can't ask one. It's foolproof!"

>Nope, goin' rogue.

"You were supposed to bring balance to the questions, not leave me in sadness!"

>Ah'll consider switching sides when Ah'm about to die.

"It'll fit your timing to a T, I'll admit."

>But Mah' question is, how are the gokart races scored?

"Run that by me again, I must have finally snapped and misheard you."

>The gokart races. Ya' know, the one with three prizes? How are they scored? Because Rarity lost this one time, and Ah'm telling you, she really should have one. Not sayin' the other's wasn't creative, but-

"I am a pony who sits atop Canterlot, literally the highest City in the court. I raise the sun, I spend my days speaking to the loudest and most demanding souls on the planet. I spend days, weeks at a time writing legislature, and I spend even longer just trying to go through my work. When, oh when, do you think I have time to oversee a children's gokart race!?"

>Huh. Guess that one was me being silly. Really, Ah' just wanted somebody to talk to about it-

"Because I only do it once a year, and those criteria are top secret."

>Come again?

"National security, Applejack, you can never know."

>Yer' messing with me, right?

"Maybe. Or maybe I'm not, and you can never tell the difference. You'll go through the day wondering, and-"

BACKFLIPS INTO THE SKY!

"It's all my fffaauuuuullllttt!"

Flipflipflipflipding!

Your absolute, clearly visible pandering is revolting, /pa/l.

Are you implying you don't like Java-mama? That's fine if you don't, just double-checking.

He hates Chrysalis though... Why would he pander?
>>
>>29364658
I don't. I legitimately do not like her.

I enjoy Mamalys because her being that way was a long process she evolved into, after realizing she didn't have to treat her subjects like shit. She's hesitantly starting to accept her role as their guardian and something akin to a parent.

Coffeelys has always been a cheap, fast 'snap your fingers' way to make her biggest weakness become moot, with no sensible explanation, evolution or room for improvement. Coffee makes Chrysalis the perfect keikakudoori schemer with perfect rationale and extreme intelligence.

I hate it. And worse, it makes me hate that aspect of Chrysalis.
>>
>>29364676
The one who did this thread's predictions wasn't PPAnon. It was someone who was nice enough to jump in, but with th caveat of 'there is something I want to see get done!'.

Obviously, that thing was fucking Java Mama. Yayifications! Grmbl...

>>29364709
>perfect keikakudoori schemer

Now see, that's were you are wrong, while she has everything shed need to be that, she also has the wisdom and commonsense not too.
>>
>>29364890
It wouldn't be such a problem for me if it didn't flip turn around who she is and what makes her Chrysalis, effectively making her another character.
>>
>>29364905
>It wouldn't be such a problem for me if it didn't flip turn around who she is

Buddy that was the whole point of the initial gag, to bother the other characters with how OOC she was being. But it turned into something more, it gave us a glimpse at her potential, a potential you and the others are only now seeing her beggining to realize. We knew then what you're only seeing now.

How bout we fuck off wi tha

A gag character of unironic "I am the smartest and super bestest" wears thin fucking quick.

And trying to shave off bits and pieces to make it "canon friendly" really doesn't do any story any justice.

Why, what we are trying to go for?

Chrysalis is the bestest and smartest than all the other characters in canon?

Yeah fuck off, the threads been running close to that line so many times before being yoinked away with the "Actually her keikakuckeeku falls apart" line.

Get rid of that yoink, and you've a got broken bullshit character who kills the story dynamic dead.

Not the one you're replying to but we've had this discussion in the past, during the last four threads, I think where someone else figured Java-mama was all
>"I am the smartest and super bestest"
but she really wasn't. Just less brash, more thoughtful and more motherly. She was never shown as being smarter, just extremely pensive with thoughts like killing Two to preserve her reign (I believe is what that one story alluded to) and wondering if it would be so bad to show her underlings more natural care.

>Jetset
“???”
_____

He watched them in silence, those unnaturally sharp eyes of his moving from one individual to the other, taking note of their posture, of their rank, of their mannerisms and their quirks, taking in any and everything he could.

Which, to his chagrin, was not much. Some of them were loud, others stoic and silent, a few were curious, and there was this one mare with the most haughty expression over her face as she gazed about the castle, like she was smelling something foul.

...Captains. All of them captains of their own guard, summoned from all over Equestria for a meet-and-greet.

One of them, fed up and yelling, was comically attempting to tear down the door to Pommel’s office, with each failed ram sending tremors through the rafters upon which Jetset was perched, seated comfortably.

From his neck swayed his shades, and every three seconds he twitched with the urge to put them on. It was a gnawing, almost physical pull, to know all he could about his target or targets, to be able to pinpoint any available weaknesses.

Eyesight alone only told him so much, and that left room for error and nasty surprises. With his shades, he would know it all, their names and standing, identify their fighting prowess through gait analysis, use facial recognition to get a read on their thoughts….

He grit his teeth with an annoyed sniff.

>This… is far harder than it should be.

He didn’t bother whispering. With him being high in the shadows and the current raucous down below there was hardly any need.

So it came as a shock when three of the captains looked up, directly at him.

>>29365980

>Ngh!

It was as if Jetset had been pushed by their gaze alone: he fell backwards in his surprise, and would have bashed his head on one of the many surrounding wooden beams if he hadn’t teleported.

The activation of his ability had been more instinctual than methodical, leaving no time to picture a clear destination when he vanis-

SQUELCH!

“Sweet merciful Celestia! Hold on hold on wait NOT THE-”

CRASH!

POMPF!

When silence fell and everything was still, Jetset realized he couldn’t breathe and began to scramble, planting his flailing hooves down and pulling until he could dislodge his face from between-

>Ah… shit.

-the very big, very plush, and very blue rear of Mrs Cupcake, who looked downright incensed and covered in what he realized was copious amounts of cake batter.

>…I can explain.

>…Okay, wow, these guys are faster than I thought. Figured I’d have a couple days here.

The room was packed full of over a half dozen guard captains, or ‘cheifs’ or ‘sherifs’ as he’d come to find out since apparently there wasn’t a universal word for ‘top law enforcer guy’.

The guards from Fillydelphia and Manehatten were cheerfully chatting away. The ones from Baltimare and some place called Hoofington were over in the corner muttering to each other about something that made their eyes go shifty. The one from Las Pegasus and the only Sherif in the place from Apploosa were awkwardly shuffling, trying to find something to talk about, and finally the one from Trottingham was off by his lonesome, looking utterly lost.

>I guess punctuality is a high thing with these guys?

“When the princess calls, they come. I guess they assumed you were calling them for her.”

>Huh.

“You see the confusion, right?”

>Think they’ll be mad?

“Probably. Is this everyone?”

>Almost, we still need-

The lights suddenly cut off. From beneath the door, the only source of any illumination, a wisp of smoke began to rise. With a hymn of song and a strange choir kicking up, the room became bathed in a dull blue moonlight and music.

>This one.

With everyone on edge and ready to fight with all the skills they had honed as leaders of their profession, it came as no surprise when a loud clang, screech and thump rang out, and most of them jumped.

~Tssss…ahhhh….tss~

Confused, one of them hit the light switch, bringing light back into the misty room and discovering a new arrival in the room.

~Tsss…ahhh…tsss…~

One who was now laying on her back on Pommel’s desk and twisting in pain.

~Ohhhhh that was a bad slip… bad slip… ooohhhh…~

The room went silent for a while.

~…Ooohhh did not think that through… ohhh~.

>…So! Nice to meet you all!

It was going to be one of those meetings.

~Oooo… tsss…~

If any had ever doubted that hole through concrete could be carved into with the upmost silence before today, they would doubt it no longer every day forwards.

A perfect mixture of claws and teeth made to tear apart gems far sturdier and a delicate application of changeling magic to hold off any crumbling bits of stone before they could reach the floor prevented even the most whisper quiet of sounds from reaching ears they so carefully hid away from.

When the final chunk of stone and foundation was ripped away, it was taken just as quiet as the very first crack in the defense, and the barriers to the corporation had been breached.

Silent hooves landed the moment it was open, keen green eyes already searching the entirety of the bathroom stalls before the last leg ever finished falling. Deft as a cool winters night, the cloaked shape ducked in and out of every stall to ensure no occupants remained, no cameras awaited them and no souls approached from the outside before he gave his signal. Right on cue, five more dropped down.

{OOF!}

Some lighter than others.

(SHHHH! Silver Spoon!)

Her hushed and angry whisper did not keep her from rushing to help her friend up, even if it was met with a cold shoulder that pushed her back, in an act that nearly sent her toppling over from the weight of the very rucksack that had caused her flop of a fall.

{It's your fault, this thing is heavy!}

There was no hesitation to assist, and just as little hesitation to push her away.

(Stop it already, let me help!)

{We can't both carry it, just let me.}

(I can hold it.)

{I don't need you to-}

"SH!"

The sharp noise was not well received, if the burning glare was any indication at least, but the pair of friends went quiet all the same.

>Any idea where we're going?

The changelings response was only to shrug, and peek as slightly as he could out the door and into the darkened hallway of the basement.

"Up, I'd assume."

>>29368272

'Wouldn't all the best stuff be down below? You know, hide it away?'

"Not necessary when you can turn giant sized and fly away. Being below ground is a problem for her, there's no chance all the important stuff is in a place she can't go full power inside of."

The dragon stepped forwards, slipping his head beneath the changelings and peering with him out the door beyond, finding just as little with his own search.

>Okay... here's what we're going to do-

~Burst out, go in guns blazing to scatter the little guys and lay into the big baddies? S'what I'd do.~

Most of them chose not to respond to that.

"We'll need more intel on the 'little guys' first. We need to see if they're acting of their own accord, or if they're being mind controlled. If it's the former, that will pose issues, but it's possible we could sway a few. If it's the other..."

Most couldn't bring themselves to respond to that either.

>We'll keep everything on stun, just in case. Hear me? Nothing lethal, we're not going to murder some poor shmuck who happened to get their brain taken over.

'Doesn't mean they're going to give us the same courtesy.'

The single claw of the dragon reached up, and flicked her right on the nose.

>That's why we're the heroes. No. Lethal. Stuff.

'Fine, fine.'

She seemed reluctant to release her hoof from the blade at her side, but it was not long before she acquiesced.

~She's right, though. You guys be prepared, if these folks are all twisted up here, then they're gonna be gunning for our heads. Don't go all out, but if you get cornered...~

She didn't need to finish that, the churning in more than one stomach alone was enough to show her point got across just fine.

>Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

'We're getting ahead of ourselves, it's possible they're doing this totally willingly. If that's the case, we could sway them, or if you know, we could deal with them as actual terrorists.'

2/5
>>
>>29368282

A hole ridden hoof shot up, silencing the argument about to spill out and sow chaos and discord among the group.

"She's right, we are getting ahead of ourselves. We're on enemy territory here, let's find some information first, and then we'll worry about it."

>And how do you plan to do that?

The changeling smirked, before a wash of fire transformed the chitinous form into that of an average looking janitor with little to his name besides a nametag and a jumpsuit.

"I reckon' Ah'll be findin' mah em-ploy-ee-rrr ta' find a thing or two out. Ain't the smartest, no siree, but Ah' figur Ah' could find out if there's somethin' happenin' in the noggin'."

He had never stopped smirking.

>...that is the worst accent I have ever heard.

Until that, at least.

(Seriously, what are you doing?)

{You sound like the steroetype other stereotypes make fun of.}

~I could literally scream yarrr after every sentence and not sound like that.~

'You're a seduction infiltrator? You!? What, did you pretend to be a long lost family member and bank on the bar being that low?'

(You are bad and you should feel bad!)

He did.

"...I'm just going to go out there now."

>You do that, but no accent.

(I am not dying because you watched "Canterlot Hillbillies" one too many times and got your point of view skewed!)

The slight grumbles from the changeling, both in annoyance of their words and their cutting off of what he planned to be quite the exit, grew quieter as he slipped out into the hallway, and soon off down the darkened path.

They watched every step, until the changeling was gone, and all was silent.

'...Now what do we do?'

The remaining five looked to one another, honestly unsure. At no point in their planning, sparse as it was, had something like this ever come up.

>...Three million bottles of cider on the wallll-

(No.)

>It's something.

(It's stupid.)

>...I spy with my little eye-

{That's dumber.}

>>29368289

>Well, fine! What do you want to do?

~Okay, so there was this one time me and Pommel went to Trotslvania-~

(No!)

~It's really cool!~

(No, it isn't, it sounds stupid! You've tole me this a bunch of times already!)

~..I thought it was cool.~

'...Which Element of Harmony would you bang, if they offered?'

(What!?)

{SHHHH!}

(No, that's... I can't believe you just asked-)

~Twilight.~

(Seriously!?)

~Don't be judging my tastes, she's a damned fine mare and she would provide for our magical lesbian babies.~

(That's not what I meant!)

>Would it be creepy if I said Applejack or Rarity? I feel like that would be creepy.

(Yes! Yes it would be!)

>Because those are my answers, but I don't want to be creepy-

(What the fuck is the matter with you all!?)

'Yeah, why is nobody picking Rainbow Dash? Look at her and tell me she doesn't know a way around a rug.'

(That is not what I meant! It's worse, even!)

{Fluttershy.}

(Silver Spoon!)

{I stand by it, Fluttershy. That's my choice, and I'm not explaining any further.}

(Everyone stop it now! STOP!)

With smirks of amusement and more than one snicker and bump of an elbow, at last they stopped tormenting the poor filly.

(...Pinkieseemscool.)

Every single expression shattered like glass, and five jaws nearly hit the floor.

>What?!

(What? You know, I think that-look this is hypothetical-I'm just saying she knows how to use toys-notthosekindsImeantherpartycanonNOTHATCANNONTHEBOOMINGONE...)

As she dissolved into red cheeks and shifty eyes, everyone else grew silent.

>...This was a mistake.

(No kidding!)

If the past few minutes were ever revealed to the changeling far down the hallway, he would forever regret that he had missed a moment unlikely to ever come again in a thousand years.

But, for all he would regret, he would admit that in the end, it was worth it.

"...wow."

>>29368298

When he stumbled across the security guard lazily leaning back in their chair, balancing a cup of coffee on their chest and boredly flickering through screen after magical screen with their hind hoof, he let the smile come through.

When he heard a distinctly feminine groan of annoyance and boredom, a need for something or anything to do, he knew he had hit the jackpot.

"That looks boring..."

The security mare didn't panic, didn't even bother to sit up from her kickbacked lean at his voice. She looked at him without a single care in the world when he walked in to a door that no doubt should have been locked.

"...Want some company?"

He could almost hear the sound of the winning slots when she abruptly smiled wide, and rolled forwards out of her chair.

"Can't be too long, I'm on my lunch break, but you know..."

Time to do some information gathering.

"Plenty of time."

>Where do I start in reading this junk?

Thread 1 in the pastebin. It's a continuous story mostly made up of one shot sillies but occasionally it breaks out into massive arcs. Mostly comedy, but sometimes very dramatic and serious. HUGE cast. And, most important, NO ANON.

There is some varying quality as a result of it being comprised of multiple anons writing together and side stories that run concurrently with the main story, but it is glorious

“Vekir suddenly likes you! Good pony!’

>Ignoring that. But Vekir, I feel like it’s time for us to finally strengthen some ties.

“…Oh?’

>Look, it’s not like the morlocks and changelings dislike each other, right?

“No, for Zhetri Thul is changeling… was changeling… and he was greatest!”

>Right! So there’s no reason for us not to get along.

“Vekir… also agrees, this is true.”

>So, I was hoping you and I could connect on a little deeper level.

“…Deeper?”

>Yes, I mean, you have stuff you want, I have stuff I want, we could really help each other out here, right?

“That… is true, Vekir has muchly she wants… in here.”

>Well, we could start in here, but we could always expand, if you’re willing to give more in return.

“…How much more?”

>I’ll keep it reasonable, come on.

“That is true, Pony is reasonable… and more importantly, pony was liked by Zhetri Thul!”

>That’s true, he did like me.

“Right! So it is not like Vekir would ever do it with just anyone, if Zhetri Thul thought pony was okay, maybe exception could be made.”

>Well, I would like to stand on my own merits, but I’ll take it.

“Hrm… and… and how long would this take?”

>As long as needed, obviously, nobody is planning to pull out too soon. I’m not a cheat and I’m not selfish, I’ll give as good as I get, so long as you’re willing to give too. Got to meet in the middle, after all.

>Chrysalis
“Changeling”
~~~~

Another had arrived.

After the embarrassment that had been the last changeling to grace her halls, the Queen of all changelings was ready for things to get back on track. When her subject walked in, she was sure that she had achieved exactly that.

When he abruptly fell over onto his side and started twitching, she learned not to believe in things anymore.

>What happened to you!?

“H-hoooootttt…”

Did she secretly hope that the drink of water she splashed on the drone’s face would drown him? Only a little.

“It burrrnnns.”

Maybe more than that when the liquid only seemed to make things worse.

>Oh for fucks sake!

A couple rapid shakes did nothing, a lot of glaring did nothing, and thoughts of just chucking him out the window and calling next were not helping.

In the end, Chrysalis was forced to resign that maybe a touch of love would help him to get him back into the land of the living, and after what she would later admit was far more generous than was strictly necessary, he was blinking in confusion but thankfully not heat stroke or whatever had ailed him once again.

>I. Said. What. Happened.

She tried to seem intimidating, bared her teeth and made sure he felt the new heat of her magic in short little bursts, and his only response was more blinking.

“…Did you know that when you get hypothermia, it makes you feel really hot? I totally did not know that till right now!”

She would have called bullshit had this world not proven it was totally stupid enough for that to be a thing.

>You had hypothermia.

“Well, I mean, none of my limbs were blue... can you self diagnose hypothermia?”

Not if you have a hole in your skull, is what she wanted to say.

>Probably not.

“Oh. Well, I had that thing where I was really, really cold and then it got really confusing and super hot so I took off all my cloths.”

>Taking off your cloths is bad in the snow. I… I can’t believe I have to say this.

1/2
>>
>>29374036

“Tell that to me when I have hypothermia!”

She no longer wished to make that hole in his head, if only because she didn’t want to cry when she saw the hollow remains.

>Did you at least make it to Maretonia?

“I did not, I stopped flying and had to abort.”

>…there’s... There’s train to take you there. Why did you try to fly to Maretonia when there’s a train?

The Queen was trying really hard to be calm about this, but at this point he had to have noticed the magic holding him in front of her was starting to squeeze.

“There wasn’t a train scheduled to go there until tomorrow, I guess they’re facing a conductor strike? Something about equal wages or health care or who even knows, Majesty, these ponies are weird.”

It was really not helpful visualizing his head popping like a grape.

>…then why didn’t you just go tomorrow?

“Because you told me to go today, and if the boss Queen says go, I go!”

She should not have cared about that.

She should have taken him outside, and then made him fly the rest of the way again, and not let him back in until he made it there.

She should have made an example of him by showing what happens to those who give up so easily.

She should have, she really should have.

“Sorry! I’ll make it the whole way next time!”

Instead, she just sat him down, and pointed to the door.

>Go get warmed up, and go tomorrow.

“Yes your highness!”

He couldn’t walk, that much was obvious when his face scraped along the ground as his front legs disobeyed, but he tried. He flopped with all his buggy might until he was out the door, and falling down the stairs.

>…This was better than the last one.

She admitted that to herself, that at least he wasn’t curled up and crying.

When she realized her bar was now “If you get there at all and don’t turn around without almost dying, you’re currently the best one yet”, she wanted to do that crying herself.

Wellllll, if someone did want to hint at a Romance for her, or him, what is the general consensus of what they would want that to be?
>>
>>29376817
No comment, my attempt obviously was met with disaster.
>>
>>29376817
I'm not feeling anyone for romance with either of them. The closest with AJ is either Shiny or Rarity, but Rarity's development is lagging behind theirs thanks to the OOCO's and Shiny's plate is so full we need three full courses just to sort out ONE of them. Spike, sad to say, has zero chemistry with anyone, period. He doesn't even have any with AJ now, and his chem with Rarity is at show levels, which is to say hints but nothing substantial.

Really, I'll take anyone if you develop it right.
>>
>>29376817
Not Spike-TsunDT.

Pls
>>
>>29376817
Besides Shiny, I still feel AJxSpike, there was just no effort there. I always planned to, but never did (plus the whole kid argument thing always killed my enthusiasm). Now, I don't give a flip. Good thing is, I can take my sweet time building them up again.

So, basically, if anyone has anything else, I would behoove you get on your grind.

>>29376780
Or maybe its the morter, the creamy white morter in between... Adding more flavor

>>29376992
I never bought into that idea that the kid thing ever slowed anyone down.

We literally have a mare who can't have sex without going nuclear and there's a ton of moments with her.

>Good thing is, I can take my sweet time building them up again.

Just don't take so long it fizzles out
>>
>>29377008
Buy it, I was one of 'em. It was always such a hassle, especially when I wrote some Lunax56 moments.

A mare going nuclear when she has sex is a completely different situation than 'grown mare with kidlike dragon', and apparently others felt the same as the former was funny while the later was always argued over.

But like I said, I don't care anymore, I'm gonna write and see how it goes.

>How much longer is he going to take?

Though any in the room doubted they'd even waited a single hour, they'd begun to grow restless. Hooves and claws twitched. Feet tapped in rhythmic steps. Errant limbs idly flicked weapons of mass destruction despite the unease it set on everyone else in the room.

They'd tried to be patient, but such was a virtue that seldom few of them held, and with every tick of the unseen clock the breaking point fast approached.

(Obviously the idiot got himself captured! I knew we shouldn't have waited!)

{Or ditched us when he saw what we were up against.}

'Wooooww, sensing a lot of unspoken words about the trustworthiness and effectiveness of changelings.'

(Oh, cram it, some of my best friends are changelings.)

'Not anyone present.'

~Ohhh!~

(I figured that went without saying, all my changeling friends are cool.)

~OHHHH!~

>Daw? Don't make it worse.

~I'm bloody bored, gimme a break.~

>This isn't a show, we're in enemy territory here, sowing discord probably isn't the best idea when we could be in a firefight in the next second.

~Ya' don't know much about pirates, do you?~

{I don't, and don't want to know. Raping and pillaging and burning are things I can live without.}

~HEY!... We never raped anyone, come on.~

Either though sheer frustration or simply the realization she was no longer the center of attention, the muffled screech of anger the filly let out was nothing short of awe inspiring.

(I can't take anymore of this! I'm going out there!)

>No, you aren't!

The dragon's attempts to put himself in her path, though noble, ultimately fell short when he was heaved aside with one powerful roll of a pink shoulder.

>Diamond Tiara, stop!

(Or what?!)

>>29382256

The group find themselves tense as she neared the door, every one of them looking ready to snap up and jump the instant she looked away. Her glare, focused as it was, still managed to keep locked on the others with a strange paradox of sight, just enough on every inch that no one felt they were not in her gaze, and that they would be safe from retaliation should her shoulder dip again, and something far more powerful and metallic be placed in their way.

(Look, it's obvious he's been captured, it's obvious they know we're here, and it's obvious they're looking for us! We need to get out there and be the ones to take them by surprise before they find us! Would you rather they snuck up on us disguised as him? Because, oh, I don't know, one of them is a freaking changeling!)

'Still not feeling the love here.'

(He obviously messed up, and it's up to us to save him! How long has it been already? It was a simple scouting mission, it shouldn't have taken more than five minutes, tops! And now here we are, hoping against hope that somehow, he turns up at the last moment and hurray hurray, we can continue, instead of taking charge and heading out ourselves! Well, if you want to stay hidden until they burst in with their army and guns blazing, you're welcome to! But I don't know if you've noticed, there's nowhere to run. You try to leave, you hve one direction, and they're going to figure it out way quicker than you can run. So, what's it going to be?)

Her strong words were met with equal parts anger, resentment, argument, and just a bit of doubt. The dark little worm began to work it's way into even the mind thought the most iron clad by it's owner, and the temptation to roll with the filly's energy became all the more tempting to let loose.

When she reached towards the doorknob, ready and willing to step out and begin the assault in earnest, most reached for their own weapons.

2/4
>>
>>29382265

If they had planned to use them to stop her or to join into the fray was a question they would ask themselves many times in the future, but not this moment.

This moment, everything stopped when the door creaked open, and revealed a strong, stiff jawed stallion on the other side.

"...Impeccable timing."

The face the did not recognize.

The voice was all that kept them from panicking, and unleashing the storm of every weapon currently pointing towards him.

"How did you all know I was coming?"

They lowered their weapons, a slight blush coloring the cheeks of more than one soul in the room, none more so than the pink filly who's hoof had been nearly there to pulling back the trigger of the artillery pointed his way.

(...HRMPH! I'm Diamond Tiara, of course I know.)

Not a one of them challenged her. One pondered if they should, one twitched with irritation, one smirked with a cocky glee, and one just sadly sighed and gave up, but none of them corrected her.

"I'll have to work on that, I suppose. But we've got bigger problems to deal with, and I do mean that in the most literal sense."

>Bigger how?

The stallion's face took on a solid, hard look. All levity, all joking, all cockiness and all assuredness was long since gone.

"Big."

One word sent such worries down their spine, and the weapons on their backs or their side suddenly felt far lighter than they should.

~Gonna keep being vague or what? This ain't the time to be playing coy, lad.~

"It's easier if I just show you. Trying to explain would be... complicated."

'And just what is that supposed to mean?'

His response was a jerk of his head, and a curt look down the hall opposite of the one he'd left from originally.

"Come on, we've only got a brief window before things get weird."

>How brief are we talking?

"Oh, I'd say whenever the security guard at the monitors wakes up and realizes that the magical feed for the cameras is constantly looping."

>...Got an estimate?

3/4
>>
>>29382273

For all his seriousness and all his lack of levity, he left all the others with a profound sense of confusion when a smirk nearly twitched on the corner of his mouth, only barely held back by sheer force of will.

"I'd give an hour to recover, then probably some questions will pop up."

He turned and started down the hall before any of the others could respond to that or further pry into what that meant, already hurrying off as if expecting the others to simply fall in line and follow.

Of course, they did, despite the reservations of said treatment a certain hotheaded filly and put upon dragon felt.

"This is the shortest route, move fast. My magic should be able to sense anyone up ahead, keep to the walls and if push comes to shove, let me handle it first, I can be... persuasive."

They didn't dare question what that could have possibly meant, nor did they question why his eyes suddenly flickered with an eerie glow that seemed brighter than the magic he'd had when he'd left. They merely followed, no matter how alien it felt to every one of them, every one save a single member of their wild team.

{...For the record, on our earlier discussion?}

The only one who looked at his retreating back, and seemed to understand.

{I'm thinking that's the magic one.}

They did not know where he led them, where they would go, or what awaited at the end.

"Hurry."

They only followed, to the mystery they would soon find.

And if the way the magic on the walls hummed with power was any indication, something else with it.

Her hooves were delightfully warm….

“...Her hindlegs were just kicking like mad… think she was chasing something?”

‘Yeah, her sanity. Good luck catching that shit.’

That was the first thing she noticed when she regained consciousness, that her hooves were nice and toasty in some blue and gray striped socks.

“Wonder why she acts like a dog, though….”

‘No clue. The fact that she hasn’t pissed on us yet as a sign of marking her territory is a homerun in my regard.’

“…Dare you enter her mag-”

‘I will fucking end your life right now if you finish that.’

She opened her maw in a silent yawn, rubbing at her tussled mane. Those socks were pretty snug, she noticed, glancing down at them… but where had they come from?

“How’s your leg? Any better?”

‘All that walking we did earlier sure didn’t help, tell ya that much. We got here on time… just to walk right back out.’

“Yeah, but... we had to. I mean, seriously, how many times has she done that? She was on the floor. Again.”

‘It’s a pretty comfy floor, I can see the logic behind the motive.’

“Probably passed out after cleaning up our leftover mess. Again.”

‘…’

How much did they cost…? She couldn’t find a price tag anywhere, but the material… it was nice, very form-fitting yet breathable.

>>29382858

“It’s the least we could’ve done, I think.”

‘Whatever. Next time I get injured, I’m going to see a real doctor.’

Most of the machinery was already whirring to life, the lights were on, the day’s notes were already separated into their correct piles, and, most importantly, nothing was on fire.

“…You do realize that it was our fault you got injured in the first place. Right?”

‘I… okay. Annnnd?’

“And we’re here on a probationary period as well. Any major injury caused by our own idiocy would probably get labeled as dereliction of duty and get us all kicked out.”

‘…Faust damn it.’

Another yawn was followed by a very feline-esque stretch before she dipped her front half to the ground and gave her aloft rear a good wiggle.

“Just saying, she pretty much protected all three of us by doing it herse-”

She pounced.

>Gooooooood morning, Fuckwit, Gabby!

“‘GUH!’”

Neither stallion was ready for when Screwloose suddenly threw a hoof around their necks, bringing them in close for a near-strangling hug.

>Ready to get this shitshow started?

They didn’t answer at first, taking note of her expression. Her smile was downright maniacal, but they were used to that, used to seeing nearly every single one of her teeth in that smile so wide that it made her eyes close.

>>29382866

What they weren’t used to was how she seemed to nuzzle one cheek, 8-bit’s, then turn to the other, Gabby’s, in a rotating fashion.

‘Ummm… okay… is this a thing dogs do? I mean, not complaining, I just want to make- grk!’

The hold on their necks had tightened.

>Shut up. Listen. You two may be that annoying itch in the crack of my ass that I just can’t get to when I’m out in public, but still… thanks for the socks! They’re super comfy! How’d you know my size? Waaaaiiit… you two pervs didn’t do anything unscrupulous to my glorious hooves when I was out, did you?

“What? Ew, no! You trot on those things!”

‘Hoofism is literally low-tier on the fetish scale, we do have some dregs of dignity left over, you know.’

She snorted.

>Heh, that’s what they all say in the beginning… Welp, thanks again, boys. Ready to rock?

Now they responded, in unison, both producing a weary grin.

“‘After you, boss.’”

>Good.

I regret my joke.

That said it actually is conflict, I guess? She never just suffers for the sake of suffering, she caused 13 to run away, Variolus attacking her was a result of Momsie's twisted plan gone awry, her mother never hurt her just for the sake of it, just to make her stronger, and all the while she had choices she could have done at every juncture to prevent them, but chose wrong, so the conflict is seeing when she'll make the right one.

“And where do you think you’re going?”

Rainbow Dash grinned in that cheeky way that only she could, a cocky smirk that at once called herself awesome in a way she didn’t say out loud and that anyone who thought otherwise was an idiot for thinking otherwise.

>Oh, you know, figured I’d go for a spin, get the old stretches in, fly around in a loop or two. Pegasus stuff, you wouldn’t understand.

“Don’t be a racist, Dashie.”

>Biology is what it is!

“Uh huh. Does biology explain why you’re carrying an overnight sack?”

She coyly looked down, pushing the sack back to hide just a fraction of it as if this would somehow make it smaller.

>Nahhh, just my training weights, you know, so I can fly faster. You wouldn’t understand.

“That’s not going to make me angry and walk away, Dashie.”

>Never said it would.

Pinkie Pie, normally the most excitable and happy pony in the world, couldn’t stop the deep frown covering her face.

“You’re going off to the west, aren’t you?”

>Whaaa? Why would I do that? That’s silly, there’s nothing over there for me. Sure, I might start in a westernly direction, but I’ll loop back around. You know how training goes, looping and looping and looping. Will be back before you realize I’m gone. Don’t believe me? I just flew to that tree and back. Told you so.

“…Can I come with you?”

The ever-flying mare slowed for a second, lowering herself without even meaning to.

>Pinkie, this is, uh… this is something I’d rather do myself, I don’t do well with training partners.

“Please? I just don’t want you to go face it alone this time.”

>Well…

Rainbow Dash could say no to many, many things. Pinkie’s puppy dog eyes were not one of them.

>You sure you want to? It’s not going to be fun.

“Dashie, so long as we’re together, it’s always fun.”

“Try and stop me!”

“I’ll just appear in front of you!’

“Come on!”

>HEY!

Her protests fell on deaf ears, and the weight settled onto the pegasus’s back before she knew it.

“Let’s go, Dashie! Giddyup!”

>No kicking! You’re heavy!

“I’m a big pink huggable balloon and you know it!’

>Pinkie!

“Every second you talk is a second I’m staying right here!”

She groaned, but knew arguing was pointless. With great reluctance, she took off into the air, and flew across the sky.

She won't, AUJ just keeps pushing the question away and vaguely saying things are 'better' here and they didn't go so well in her world.

Alterjack got asked twice about AS, she's not budging, but I'd love it if Alterjack outright asked what Applejack's relationship was to Shiny, and we could piece together more of her story from the reaction.

I'm curious if this is why she 'never sees Twilight anymore'. She's apparently still on decent terms with Rarity and she's besties with the Ponk, but Twilight she outright said she barely even speaks to anymore. Guessing whatever happened caused the split, but there might be more to it than that.

He wouldn't at that point, that was still when Celestia was really ragging on him. Seriously bitching him out all the time, admittedly for what we would later learn were somewhat valid reasons but still.

More likely he would've gone to Twilight for the same reason, just wanted someone who would care, but she's not available, so he wanders around and stumbles across AUJ...

Called again, and it had never been more insulting.

>This is absurd.

To be summoned like this at all was an insult, nothing more than a barebones basic letter and a request that she appear as soon as she could, that was all. Nothing to speak of concerning what matters would be discussed save for 'trade', not even an indication that any other would be there save the one who had signed the letter herself, Princess Applejack. It would be downright disrespectful if she had been a casual acquaintance, only even thinkable if the one calling her had little care or thought for her status past being nothing more than a tool. Which, possibly, she very much did. It had been some time since she had spoken last with any other pony of regard except for her favorite pair, it's entirely possible the royals have come to the realization she thinks so very little of them, and are returning the favor. For this reason alone, she should have blown them off.

>If that pony dares speak to me again-

"I will do the speaking, have no worry of that."

She would have, had the option been available to her.

>This is a waste of time-

(WOW! IT'S FUCKING NOTHING!)

The Filly's words, though unappreciated, were not inaccurate.

Before them was indeed a great wide expanse of nothing, a room lined with thousand upon thousands of tight squares froming metal walls that held scratches and dents of misuse, catwalks crisscrossing through the air above and connecting to doors they could only guess as to their ending location, all surrounding a floor that was as smooth as it was barren. For all that one could have easily fit the very ballroom that had once held the changelings into it, the area they had found was one of emptiness and void.

That, if the look of worry in the changelings eyes was any indication, was the thing that disturbed him the most.

"It is, isn't it? There's just... nothing. Do none of you find this odd?"

Whatever biting and no doubt witty comment the filly had brewing in her spiteful mind found itself wasted when the thought struck her, just as it did the others who joined the changeling in frantically searching the hard walls. In them, they found little more than the slightest signs of misuse, but no clues, no answers, and nothing else to show of what could have possibly been the purpose of such wasted space.

It did not long for the annoyance to turn to a sick sense of unease.

>What could they have been making in here?

'Better question, lizard boy... how'd they get it out?'

The reply spurred new worry in the stomachs of the team, and spurred a new sense of dread as they searched again and again, only to find themselves without anything to answer her back.

There were no seams, no mechanism, nothing on the walls or floor or ceilings to show of where whatever had been inside could be now.

Something had been in this room, that much was plain for anyone with the slightest of thought to even look, but it was simply gone without a trace, and not a one of them could place a reason why.

{...Anyone else getting the feeling this is a trap?}

1/5
>>
>>29395314

Their weapons were out before the filly's words even finished, brandished strong and resolute for the unseen foes that their mind had warned them could be in the very room they now stood. They aimed in every entrance, every possible vantage point, anywhere a threat may emerge to take advantage of their state, and they waited.

And waited, and waited, and waited.

~So... ain't a trap?~

>They'd have done something by now, villains really cannot resist popping up when someone says that.

"It's true, I'd have jumped out just for the timing."

>I'm going to choose to ignore that.

(I'm not!)

'Giving us a bad rep, Seven.'

"I didn't include you, you did that."

'...well son of a bitch.'

Even with the assurance, and the relaxation their bit of levity brought, it was still only with great reluctance that their weapons lowered.

~So if it ain't a trap... what is it?~

No answer came to her for that, and it was some time before the hope of any reasoning to be found in their peers was forgotten, and they moved on.

>Is this all you wanted to show us, Seven?

(Because if so, wow, you showed us exactly nothing and lead us into what could have been a trap, good job!)

{You don't even know if that's the reason.}

(Silver Spoon? You're on my side, remember?)

{It's probably the reason.}

(Thank you!)

'Hey, cut him some slack here.'

~Gonna join the buggy one, ain't no reason to assume with this guy.~

'You're only getting away with calling me 'buggy' because you agreed with me.'

~I'd get away with it anyway.~

>AHEM!... Seven?

If they were starting to follow him as a leader, or if they simply wanted to know, the effect was the same. The others went silent, and waited with bated breath for the changeling's answer.

The smile on his face showed he would not disappoint.

"There."

He pointed, seemingly randomly, to a single bit of piece on the wall, and nothing more.

2/5
>>
>>29395321

(...oh! I see, you-)

{DT? Don't get sarcastic, he's almost certainly leading you so that he can snap back with a reply that makes you look dumb and makes him think he's cooler than he is.}

Against all they thought they knew of her, the pink Filly actually went silent at her friends request, and said not another word.

For a brief moment, they knew what true despair was, and it was the face of changeling Zero Zero Seven.

"...Iamsocool."

>SEVEN!

With a sigh of regret and a wave of his head, he called his magic.

The segment of wall he waved to seemed unlike any other, no different from the hundreds of squares bolted in sequence along it's length, until it suddenly came loose.

That square, barely bigger than any of the smallest of their group, revealed behind it something they had not expected.

A single bit of nothing.

(...Wow, it's fucking nothing)

{DT! It's obviously an air vent-}

(I'm not being sarcastic, I'm shocked there's a bit of nothing this far down. How much weight is being put down on that? This metal is really damn strong for some better ventilation.)

{...Oh. What does that mean?}

(It obviously means that having proper ventilation down here was an absolute necessity and worth the monstrous expense. Is that all you were trying to show us?)

"Oh no, there's something more behind-"

>Just tell us.

The changeling stopped dead, blinking owlishly as his mind tried to decipher just why the dragon's cutting remark had sounded, for lack of anything better to described it, utterly angry.

"...I was-"

>No, you were doing that 'I'll draw it out and talk as slloooowww as possible and reveal it piece by piece' thing, like we're in a big game of Tints Hints and you're asking the audience to shout out what they see. It's really not needed here! You can just come outright and tell us what you know! Are you going to betray us or something?

"What?! NO!"

3/5
>>
>>29395326

>Well you're talking like you don't want us to know something to stab us in the back. This is real betrayer talk right here.

"I am not!"

>You're talking like it.

"I'm not!"

>Guys?

'I didn't want to say it, but I was thinking it. What's with the "Follow Me" thing? Just be like "Hey I found a big empty room and it has an air vent that we can use to get around the building." Boom, done.'

(And you're talking in this really creepy voice and smiling all the time too! What's up with that?)

{I literally feel like calling stranger danger around you, and I have a semi-automatic gun in my bag.}

~...This just seemed normal to me, but considering I come from a bunch'a cut throats who'd stab you as soon as look at you, in hindsight you really should'a thrown up some red flags.~

The changeling tried to deny it, he really did.

Until he found that, under their stares, his face went red with anger, and all that came out was annoyed huffs.

"That airvent doesn't lead up through the building, that's stupid, nobody would build an airvent with junctures that big, and nobody but Spike would fit anyway because some certain filly is too fat! But it does lead up to an elevator shaft we could use to climb up higher if you can open it from the inside, and to more airvent maintenance areas to scout out the rest of the place and find who we're looking for. There. You happy!? THERE! THEEERRREEE!"

He huffed, and he puffed, and everyone around him continued to frown.

>Was that so hard, really?

(...mnutfat...)

"Just go up in there!"

The dragon seemed to obey, at first, walking towards the vent with a shrug.

Which is why it came as a surprise when he suddenly stopped halfway, right next to the irate bug-pony hybrid, and gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder.

>You're not a betrayer, sorry I said that... right guys?

4/5
>>
>>29395334

There was a reluctance on some of them, most of them in fact.

'I'm sticking by that you sounded like that, but yeah... probably not the best time to imply I think you'd backstab me.'

(I didn't actually think you'd ever try, you had to know I'd blow you up, and you're smarter than that. Just had to say it.)

{I'm a little on edge, and I know you'd know DT would blow you up for it.}

~I wanna point out I called you like my mates, so... yeah, that's a compliment, sticking to it.~

With that, the dragon continued on, oblivious to the twisted look leaving the changeling's face and shifting into one of neutrality rather than anger, and walked up to the airvent that would let him travel through the building, and their next step to finding their prey.

With the weight of his mission on his shoulders, the dragon found himself looking up, and staring with wide eyes, and thought.

>...Can someone give me a boost? I'm too short.

It was going to be some time before they could pick themselves up off the floor.

It would be sometime later, if ever, that they noticed the panel that had been removed was still glowing.

>>
>>29396018
Considering the setup is that we just saw something that was made to hold something Giant, I'd say we are probably setting it for something huge.
>>
>>29396027
>>29396031
I am just saying that, you know... I expected the usual. Our heroes being all crafty, something goes wrong, a rush to the opponents, explosions.

Instead, we have a weirdly tranquil location, strangely abandoned sites and no opposition in sight.

It doesn't feel like a trap.

It feels like I am reading Watchmen again, and Sunset about to go Ozy-'I triggered it thirty-five minutes ago'-mandias on them.
>>
>>29396094
It... is a little odd, now that you mention it.

Like, with the CE invasion, there was still a tangible something following our heroes, there was a shape in the shadows moving towards Cadence the whole way through, there was a building sense that something was coming.

This is the opposite, this all feels wrong. They're getting in so easy, they're finding all the info so easy, they're outsmarting the minimal opposition from someone who does not care. I get what you're saying, and I feel it. It doesn't feel like something is coming.

It feels like something already happened, and it's too late.
>>
>>29396094
>>29396145
Well great, now I just switched my perception of the events that came from 'building up to an explosion' to 'building up to finding a note that says we're fucked'
>>
>>29396094
>Instead, we have a weirdly tranquil location, strangely abandoned sites and no opposition in sight.

Huh. I never even thought about that, I just kinda assumed we were just building up to the reveal of the badguys, then as you said something goes wrong, Spike shoots somebody, bam bam bam, action scene, meaningful resolution where everybody grows as a character, done. I don't know if I like this idea that we're slowly building up to a reveal that Spike isn't going to go all badass again, and instead he's going to be the guy opening the door to find Sunset had already opened the gate to heaven.
>>
>>29396229
>opening the door to find Sunset had already opened the gate to heaven.

That would genuinely creep me out.

How could everyone miss something so huge and important wad happening? Why didn't anybody see the signs? How could ever body been so absorbed with their stuff they literally missed the deadline of the Moon crashing into Termina?

Spike walking in to catch Sunset giving one last glance back at him before she steps through to the other side would leave me a bit speechless.
>>
>>29396256
That would be genuinely one of the creepiest things in the entire series.

>>
>>29396642
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that 29 has been the most consistently friendly and supportive character to Sunset since the very first time they met. They have literally never once been on bad terms and he's always looked out for her just like she did for him when Chitty chased him down. There has literally never been a period where she was on his bad side and vice-versa, and she remains steadfast in liking him despite his attitude.

It is so fucking weird.
>>
>>29396704
To be fair they haven't met that often.
>>
>>29396892
Too actually be fair instead of stating what you're saying is "too be fair" when its not, no one wanted or thought to put in the effort to destroy that relationship since all the other more important/essential ones had been thoroughly destroyed.

Someone dropped the ball on ruining her entire life, but we got pretty much everything else.
>>
>>29396964
... didn't quite mean it like that. Just meant that it was hard to put it up to the other ones because it didn't get as much screen time as anyone else.

Also, if we wanted to wreck it we could have when she came down to visit him after the city attack incident, since that was when she was still the one being blamed and AJ hadn't discovered the truth yet, if we wanted to we could have had him turn on her or betray her or send her away, but we didn't. It's not like we dropped the ball, we apparently specifically made sure to catch this one.

Alterjack is in full control of this ability, and is vastly more powerful than anyone could have imagined as a result of it.

>Applejack, at some point, artificially enhanced herself with something akin to magic steroids in order to better serve her country.

13 aside, Sunset is the squishiest of the whole lot. She has no armor, no scales, no shield, nothing.

And let's be honest, they don't come across as if they want to use nonlethal means if Sunset fights back.

>>29405666
>They were talking about taking down hapless workers and the mind controlled ones. T

They literally never even implied they were going to kill anyone except Chitania, they never even mentioned Flash and Fizzle.

For sure, Spike, PJ and 007 have no desire to kill Sunny, Spike because he wants to prove himself to AJ, PJ because she promised Blueblood she wouldn't, and 007 because he physically can't due to his squeamishness of the thought of killing anyone, even someone outright trying to murder him.

Daw would be okay with it because pirate and she doesn't know Sunny, DT and Silver Spoon are wildcards because DT talks the talk but she balks like any little kid would a lot of times and SS doesn't even want to fight.

There's only one character who wouldn't care if Sunny dropped dead, the other five have reasons why they wouldn't kill her.
>>
>>29405666
>They were talking about taking down hapless workers and the mind controlled ones. They even stated doubt if they wanted to be reserved if they were willingly doing this.

Untrue, >>29368272, the only one even bringing up killing anyone was PJ and Daw, Spike and 007 hardlined non-lethally and even Daw was the only one considering taking down a mindcontrolled one if she got cornered. For the non-mindcontrolled ones, they wanted to sway them to their side. Should be noted PJ also promised Bluey she wouldn't kill Sunset due to their similarities here http://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/29070987/#29073549

"Yes, you do it all the time in these situations, but you never actually say it that much. Maybe once or twice, but you really overdo it."

"Dear is fine."

>That seems like I'm just swapping out one for another. Really, who would be so against using one phrase because it's overused, but then insist you replace it with another phrase that by virtue of taking it's place will become equally overused. It's akin to someone being furious with a cliche, only to demand they replace that cliche with something that will be used so much that it, itself, will become an annoying cliche.

'What about me?'

"I thought we just established your stance on this."

'Little harsh.'

"At least you won't die by being suffocated by a pregnant mare."

'You say that like yours is the alternative I would prefer... it is not.'

~WOW!~

>>29406783

'I stand by my preferences for death, and underneath Cadence is one I would prefer to dying while being charbroiled.'

"I have taken your thoughts into consideration, and have chosen to ignore them for the greater safety of the Empire. Because if Cadence builds up her rage to the point she can break out, we're all doomed. At least this way she hasn't reached critical mass."

'...This whole 'sacrifice for the greater good' thing was a lot cooler when I was punching someone while on fire.'

"Such is life. Now, everyone stand back!"

'Everyone meaning me?'

"I actually meant Spitfire... where did she go?"

~LET HER RIP!~

It took some searching before she spotted the pegasus out the window, and a fair distance away.

"How... I never even saw you move..."

~Real fastest flier in Equestria over here, thank you! No matter what that rainbow bitch says!~

"Rainbow bitch who saved my life, remind."

~Wish I could say the same!~

"Fair enough. Forty Two! Prepare yourself!"

'...How.'

"Any last minute acts you wanted to get in, I suppose. Anything you've ever wanted to do?"

'I don't know what you mean.'

"You only get one shot at this. Sooo... ten seconds."

The changeling confusedly looked up as best she could, trying to roll around from her place with her back to the bottom of the bubble to get another vantage point. She failed, only catching the edge of the raging mare's face as the light started to grow.

'...I cant reach the nice part.'

"Seven seconds."

Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and when the charging began to glow, she understood what was going to happen, and what that meant.

"Five seconds."

Faced with inevitable death, the one formerly known as Punchbug made her choice.

"Three seconds."

She grabbed pregnant belly, and rubbed her cheek on it.

'Huuuggs... hugs nice.'

"ONE!"

SLAM!

(HOOOLLLLD IT!)

"GAH!"

The mare's laser burst went wide, shooting off into the side.

~HOLY SHI-~

And right to the pegasus just out the window.

2/7
>>
>>29406791

"...S-...Spitfire? You okay?"

~It hurts.~

Despite smoking, being blackened and a tuft of flame at the tip of her mane, she seemed okay.

~...Kaythanksbye.~

At least until she abruptly fell out of the sky.

"GAH! No no!"

The pegasus was caught, and levitated back in before she could fall to her splattering and street-cleaner enraging death. The princess hoped she learned a valuable lesson about friendship and not bailing on your friends even when those friends were trying to cause potentially damaging and massive explosions. A lesson worthy of Twilight herself.

"Okay, who just-"

{Celestia!}

(Cadence!)

It was around here that the princess suddenly realized that her fellow royal had gone completely silent. Completely, deathly silent.

"...oh sweet mother."

Of all the possibilities in the multiverse of creation, Celestia knew that she had somehow landed in the worst one.

{(WE SOLVED THE MYSTERY!)}

A quick turn revealed who had caused the chaos and who she absolutely was going to put all the blame of fricasseeing the pegasus on, and with that reveal brought so many more questions than she was willing to put up with today, she was seconds away from calling it quits. When she saw Shining Armor and Eighteen the changeling standing together, reared back and holding hooves, and smiling their goofy smiles, she was almost done. When she noticed they were both wearing the exact same colored jumper, it was official. The proclamation was made, she was done.

"...I don't even care anymore-"

(We did it, Cadence!)

{We did it! We solved the mystery of the paperwork!}

"The... the who of the what-"

(You'll never believe it!)

{It turns out the paperwork was coming from the Empire the whole time!}

"What could that possibly mean-"

(And we've found out how to fix it!)

{We pulled off the mask of the world and we have our answer!}

"That is the dumbest simile I have ever heard-"

({WE DID IT!})

>>29406801

With their cheers, the tallest princess was finally able to tear herself away from the absurd spectacle long enough to find out why the roar of anger had finally stopped.

"...Huh."

What she found made the prospect of jumping out the window much more enticing. Flight or not, either way.

(...Cadence?)

His nervous voice only got a twitch from the dark faced, angry mare.

{C-caddy? We, uh... we solved the-}

>Let me out.

Her voice turned the room pitch black. Literally, the moment she spoke, the room's lights suddenly dimmed, and the world became darker and colder.

(Uh... s-suuuree, that way we can... celebrate?)

Another twitch, and the world suddenly bent inward in distortion.

(...boop?)

She was so very carefully lowered to the ground, so very delicately dropped, and so very slowly released from her bubble in a manner that did not jostle her, or shake her. It did not help her mood.

'Ow.'

It did not help the changeling she dropped on top of either.

{Forty Two!? How did you get in there!?}

'Long story. Long shameful story. Speaking of shame... I strangely feel none.'

The changeling was left flat on the ground when the pregnant mare rose up, the black face on said bug left stone cold, but content.

{Huh. That's weird, right?...Shiny?}

She would get no response from the stallion, who's gaze was locked specifically on his wife's. Said wife did not allow him to look away. She did not use magic, she did not use power, she simply did not let him look away.

(Uh... uhhh... I was.. um...)

Step by step the pink mare approached him, closing in the gap on the frozen ex-guard with a deliberate pace that never changed until her sudden stop. When she froze, she was so close he could practically feel the hairs on the tip of her muzzle ticking his own.

>If you ever... EVER... put me in a bubble again... I will buck you right between your legs.

She was not lying. The others knew that, the princess knew that, and most certainly her husband knew that.

4/7
>>
>>29406813

(Y... y-y...)

So when he did not move, something felt very wrong.

(...y-you'd uh, better just get it out of the way now, then.)

The world was wrong and nobody wanted to be a part of it anymore.

(Because... because if I ever have to choose between you being mad at me, hating me and yelling and never touching me again for as long as I live, or leaving you and the baby unprotected... I'll.. I'll just take the kick to the nuts, I guess. Not like I'll need them in that case, right? So... go ahead, because I'll always protect you, even if it hurts.)

The room, the princess, the changelings, the pegasus, and thankfully Cadence herself softened at his words, her burning and blazing glare turning into a much kinder, warmer look.

>...you big dork.

She smiled at him. He smiled right back in that wobbly and uncertain way, and he leaned in to try to close the gap for a kiss. He was left without when she suddenly brushed past, and started to walk by him.

(...Oh well, I guess-)

>If you say so!

WHACK!

"OOOOOOHHHHH!"

'Tsssshahhhhaahohohoowow.'

~MMMMnnnnOOPENOPENOPE.~

{Ahhh, ohhhhno.}

The whole room winced and crossed their legs with sympathy pain as the stallion fell to the floor.

(EEEEEEEEEE!)

>There we go!

Cadence smiled, chipper as a sunny day once more, all rage long since gone and forgotten with only serenity left in it's place.

"You, um... you okay, Shiny?"

It was a solid minute of a high pitched screech before he finally managed to calm down enough to stop, and another two on top of that before he could wobbily and shakily get back to his hooves.

(Eeeee...nennggg...eee...C-Cadence?)

>Yes, honey?

(B-...b-bb... b-better get next time's out of the way too. Because I... will always protect-)

>Okay!

WHACK!

Everyone's wince intensified a thousand fold when he hit the ground once again.

"Shiny?"

5/7
>>
>>29406825

They couldn't hear him. They could see his mouth open and his eyes bugged out, but no sound was escaping, and they were left confused, never knowing for some reason every dog in the Empire was going off and every visiting Diamond Dog was currently filing a noise complaint.

>Loovvveee yoouuu!

She chipperly skipped up to the downed stallion, and planted a big wet kiss right on his cheek. It almost made him smile. Almost.

>Eighteen!

The changeling nearly jumped out her chitin and ran skinless down the hall like a horror game's villain who just realized the hero had a shotgun. Her hind legs instinctively crossed when the mare approached, but she did not move.

>Did youuuuu have anything to do with me being bubbled?

The changeling trembled with fear, looking to the others for support, only to find that Celestia and Forty Two had decided the roof was a happening place all the lookers and shakers needed to see, and Spitfire had taken to playing dead. Or had gone unconscious from her injuries, it was near impossible to tell, and that's what made it so clever.

{I... I ummmmm...}

Her legs crossed, her mind steeled, and she hoped for the best..

{...I mean, I didn't bubble you-}

There was a twitch. A dark little twitch, and that hope was now for the quick release of death

{B-bbuuutttt... I didn't let you out and... probably wouldn't if it happened again... becauseyou'reCaddyandIdon'twantyoutogethurtwhileI'maway... soooo...}

Reluctantly, very reluctantly, the chitinous legs uncrossed, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the end.

>Okay! Just checking!

She did not feel a blow between her legs, as expected. What she did feel was a warm, loving kiss on her cheek.

{...wha?}

>Oh, silly! I wouldn't kick you there, we're both girls! That'd be weird!

The world had ceased to make sense some time ago and somehow that was still the oddest thing that had happened so far.

{I... I don't...}

>Did you have fun on your adventure?

{...y-yesss?}

>Good!

{Uh-}

6/7
>>
>>29406833

>Well, I'm going to go lie down, my hoofies are all cramped.

{O-okay... want me to come with you?}

>Oh, you're so sweet! But no, I'm good. I'll just take Forty Two with me, so you guys don't have to worry about me being protected.

And a punchbug's heart grew three times that day.

>Could you take care of Shiny? He's not feeling so well.

(...eeee...)

>See?

{O-of course, you know I'll always take care of him.}

>I know! Oh! And...

She suddenly jutted her head forwards, so fast that the changeling briefly wondered if she was going to be gored by the massive horn on her head. Instead, the pink muzzle slipped under her mimicing mane, and right above her changeling ear, and whispered.

{...oh...}

Eighteen's eyes went wide, her limbs froze up, and her face scrunched in so far she looked ready to become a black hole. The princess pulled away with a wide smile, and kissed her on the cheek again.

>Byyyyeee! Love you all! Bye Auntie Celestia, thanks for showing up! By Spitfire, thanks for trying! BYYEEEE!

She skipped off like a school filly, despite the obvious limitation of her massive belly, bouncing away with aplomb. Her horn summoned it's magic and grabbed the hind leg of the still downed Forty Two, and the warrior was swiftly dragged on the ground behind the joyous princess. From the smile on her face, she did not mind.

SLAM!

With the closing of the door, they were left with no sound but the 'reee'ing prince on the ground.

"...What did she say?"

Eighteen's head turned almost robotic ally, tilted up to look the taller princess right in the eye, and said her next words without a single shred of emotion.

{She said I could kiss it and make it better if I wanted.}

After a beat, Princess Celestia was officially done.

"I'm out."

They would never know why she chose the window instead of the door.

>Celestia
"???"
~~~

After leaving the Empire, and the senselessness that had been barely contained therein, Princess Celestia wasn't quite sure what she was thinking of as she passed back through the portal to return home.

Her mind was aimless and directionless, a blank slate on which anything could have been drawn and anything could have been made. She could have put anything in there, and it would have fit just as well.

So when she left the portal's guarded room and stepped out into her castles grand hall, she should have been prepared for anything.

>...what in the...

So she had thought.

>It's...

She blinked several times to clear away the fuzziness of her vision only to produce the same result. Her first thought, as absurd as it had seemed, had proven the correct one.

>...clean.

Her entire castle was sparkling.

From the floor to the ceiling, from the corner to the crevice, every surface and every piece of the castle had been meticulously scrubbed and shined and dusted and fixed. There was not a speck on the ground, a stain on any cloth, or even a wisp of dust on the windows. Her castle, for the first time since it's creation if that at all, had been completely cleaned, top to bottom. The idea was absurd, the monuments task needed to even attempt it at all was something she would never dream of trying to force on her little ponies. It was too much, it shouldn't have been possible, and she couldn't imagine how it had come to be.

The answer came with a whisper.

"H-hello, Auntie..."

A whisper from a skittish little voice behind her that sounded so unsure they wanted to be heard at all. When she turned around to face it, she could never imagine what she would find.

Her castle staff, the whole lot of them. Sweepers and buffers and maids and butlers, big and small and old and young, dozens of ponies all gathered together in that spotless and shining hall, and all surrounding three souls in the center.

"Welcome back."

1/3
>>
>>29408656


One, the innocent if terrifying changeling who's body had been reshaped into a monstrous looking thing completely at odds with her nervous face and miniscule size.

The one at the other side, a guard who had been stalwart and true, who had watched over him with careful eyes since his very first day, and who now held a look of stoic contemplation, and worry.

The last, a family member she had known since his birth, who she had seen raised, watched grow, and become the stallion he had been. The selfish, terrible thing he had become, that she had so carelessly let happen. But in the crooked, nervous smile of the pony before her, in the sad little eyes that looked up to her with nothing but genuine emotions, she no longer saw that pony who had been called her nephew.

>It is good to be home.

Nothing could have made her happier.

"I... I-I mean, we, all of us, we um..."

The others behind him smirked and shuffled, looking with coy eyes as he fumbled over his words and nervously scratched his hooves together, his sight pointed straight to the ground.

>Blueblood, why did you do this?

His fidgeting stopped, his eyes never looking up or even moving, and allowing her to see the look of confusion that crossed his face in the clean reflection of the floor he had scrubbed.

"...isn't this what you wanted me to do?"

Her reply was short, curt, and cutting.

>No.

The hoof that reached forwards and gently lifted his chin up to face her was nothing short of gentle and kind.

>I didn't want you to clean my floors. I didn't need a scrub brush that could think, I didn't want a pony to serve me and clean up after me, I didn't want a slave, I didn't want any of this.

His mouth flapped open and closed, unspoken questions and confusion never fully forming enough to speak.

"I... I don't understand, what did you want?"

Just as gentle as before, she pushed on his cheek, and turned his head around.

>...This.

>>29408668

He looked at them. He couldn't have missed them if he'd tired. All those dozens of smiling, tired faces. The smirks that moved the dirt and the soap and the crud on the fur of their cheeks, the way they shuffled with care not to move their worn hooves over their beautiful new floors, the way they all watched him, only him, to see what would happen.

>You never needed my forgiveness, Blueblood, I will always let you come home, if you are truly sorry. You did not need to see it from me.

They weren't surprised when the tears started to form.

>I didn't want you to see the dirt on my floors. I wanted you to see what made this castle truly beautiful, every day, and who you hurt every day. Do you understand?

They weren't even annoyed when the first of those tears began to fall on their clean floors.

"...I do..."

It would've been hypocritical, considering what they did when she leaned forwards, and brought him close to her white chest.

"I was such a fool... I never understood, I just saw them as-"

>Shhhh, you don't need to say it, I know... they know.

With every smile, they agreed, and they showed they knew.

"Auntie... auntie... I'm so sorry..."

When they looked to him, they agreed with the princess before she had ever spoken.

>I forgive you.

Their anger and hate for the traitor was gone.

>Blueblood... you can come home now, if you want.

The old Blueblood was gone.

"...I already am."

The one before them, the changed stallion they happily laid their hooves on, who the changeling at his side joyously embraced, was forgiven.

He was free.

One-hundred-and-seventy-threads. It's been One-hundred-and-seventy-threads since we locked him up. At first, we were going to forget about him. Then, we decided to write some stories about him in prison to torment him for our amusement.

And then, for some reason, we decided to try and fix him. We gave him friends, and a ostracized changeling to care for. We gave him a chance to redeem himself, and he did.

And now, he's free.

So here's to you, Blueblood, and here's to all the writers who turned a one-off villain into a heartwarming story of redemption after one-hundred-and-seventy-threads. Because in the Princess Applejack threads, we can fix anything.

>Jetset
“Mrs Cake”
‘Mr Cake’
~~~~~

There was a bandage under his eye. Not a big one, not a thick one, but it was definitely there, and it definitely stung.

Jetset blinked at his reflection, then sighed.

‘Ahem… Sorry about that, Mr…?’

>…Jetset. And drop the mister, please.

‘Right- yes- well… about that back there, with the knife- um…’

Stepping away from the mirror, Jetset turned to the face the troubled looking older stallion in the doorway.

>It was my fault to begin with, I should have paid more attention to where I was, er… going.

‘But still, for me to come in swinging in like that-’

>You did what you had to, Mr. Cake, to protect your wife. You thought she was in danger, I would have done the same thing.

‘Well, be that as it may, I still feel bad… I almost got your eye there!’

>Faust gave me two for good reason, I think.

Mr. Cake chuckled.

‘That’s… yeah, but that’s not really why she gave us-’

“Ohhh deeeeeaaaarrrr! How long do you plan on making this mare waaaait?”

>…

‘…’

>You… that sounded… I can leave, you know, if- yeah, I think I’ll just-

‘No! No, it’s… she’s just feeling a bit… amorous, after what I did-’

>Yeah, no, I can definitely get the fuck-

‘-but I haven’t properly apologized-’

>I still have my eye, nothing to apologize f-

‘-so just wait downstairs for a bit. Flip the store sign around when you get there, thanks. I’ll only be a few hours!’

When the older stallion trotted away in a hurry, Jetset continued to stand there, his right eye twitching, which only served to aggravate his wound.

>…What the hell is my life?

>Spike

~~~

>Anyone else feel like this is too easy?

"Not funny!"

The irate changeling's soft grunt of anger and resentment did not go without it's concurrences. Beside him, his fellow changeling and the only pony among them with a set of wings very much held his ideals with themselves, and the annoyance they felt was every bit as genuine.

They might even have agreed with him verbally, if they could have managed a sound at all save grunts of strain and frustration that is.

>I wasn't trying to be funny, I was being serious.

"O-oh yeahhh, nnngghh, this is so easy!"

The dragon realized his line of questioning was pointless soon after, and shifted awkwardly in the changelings grip to look away with a huff, an act that gained him a well deserved glare for the effort it caused.

'G-geeze, what are you carrying in that, Silver? Giant bombs? Please tell me it's bombs, nothing else will justify how heavy this is.'

The filly in the hole ridden hoof's grip had the courtesy not to shrug, instead choosing to roll her eyes and tighten her grip on the massive bag nestled in her hooves.

~Oi, you putting on some pounds there, pinko?~

(I will sick sexy on you.)

~I've seen that things attachments, that ain't much of a thread, though Pom might get mad.~

(...what?)

It took some doing for the ex-pirate to keep from laughing at the scrunching face of confusion the bratty filly took on.

~Just use that things flyamiggers already and carry us up.~

(I could, if you don't mind alerting the entire building we're here with the sound of rockets taking off. Is that the plan? I'm okay with that plan, I just want to be sure so nobody blames me.)

>Do not use that, this is the only way to keep it silent. We're trying to keep it silent, right everyone?

"I-I'm reconsidering. Do you have any idea how hard it is to fly straight up in an enclosed space?"

He kept down the bitter and biting remark that he did not, due to not having wings. The temptation for a sarcastic shot was great, but the reminder that he was quite high in the air above the elevator down below was even greater, and he'd rather not challenge if the changeling would let him fall out of annoyance.

With that, he was forced to stay silent as the three carried their non-flying companions through the elevator shaft, doing their very best not to accidentally veer to the side or bump one another as they strenuously flapped straight down in the most exhausting and repetitive of ways and without the forwards momentum of gliding. It was a challenge, and one putting a heavy load on them considering the hardware everyone carried, yet it was the only silent way to travel about.

{Spike's right, you know.}

>Thank you! No rockets!

{Not about that.}

(Silver Spoon agrees! Time for rockets!)

{Not for that either!}

>You're being pretty flip floppy here, Silver Spoon, are you agreeing with me or DT?

{You!}

(Betrayal!)

{About the other thing, not the rocket thing!}

(...So you do agree with the rocket thing-)

"Will you please just get to it already!?"

The two grunts of agreement from the other fliers swiftly ended any thought of rebellion on the smallest of their group.

{What I mean is that yeah, this has been really, really easy. Too easy, we haven't faced a single roadblock yet, we literally stumbled across a massive hunk of nothing. No guards have needed to be taken out, no security cameras, nothing's been in our way. What's the deal here? She's supposed to be some super smart mare, right? So where's the tricks we all prepared for?}

The shaft was soon filled with nothing but the sounds of strenuous flight, and the silence of thought as everyone pondered over her words and the weight of the world that joined them.

{It's possible we're heading into a trap.}

2/6

>>29409129

The three ceased their ascent abruptly, freezing with horror and spinning around with suspicious eyes. Be it through their life of infiltration or a life of finding traps hidden in every treasure cove, the three were experts most grand in the field of detecting when something was planning to end their lives with a snap.

Yet, they found nothing. No trace on the walls, nothing around them, no hidden device to watch them or hear them. They saw nothing, and they found nothing.

(Or maybe... they're already gone?)

The spark that ignited inside of them was not a calm one. The mere thought alone, nothing else, that they'd flown all this way only to find an empty door and an empty room was enough to boil their blood in the darkest of ways. On edge, tired and stressed was bad enough, to let the thought in they were all for naught was not something any of them were willing to accept easily.

It was only the soothing words of the one who could bring fire that kept them from calling out in frustration.

>We'll find out at the top.

He grabbed hold of the changeling lifting him, giving no quarter and allowing no doubt to slip in between his claw's squeeze. A sharp and pointed finger jutted up to the sky, pointing straight towards an end goal and offering no other thought in any other way.

>We start up there, work our way down, if there's nothing there, we're too late. If they're waiting for us, it gives us the quickest and clearest route to go signal Pennydrop for some air support. This could be a trap... or they might be so confident nobody would ever find this place they got sloppy. Or maybe, just maybe, they think they're so powerful, so untouchable, it wouldn't matter if Celestia herself burst through those doors and started firing. Whatever the case, we can't give up, and we can't turn around now, we've come too far. We know what we're looking for, we're prepared, and we're going to save Equestria, let's do this.

3/6

>>29409130

Every word put new power into the beat of six different wings, the heroic thoughts of victory filling them with a renewed vigor and a new fire to burn in their chests and make them feel invincible. They shared a nod, a powerful look of confidence to match the dragons own, and they ascended.

Up, up, up they flew, fighting through exhaustion and the weight of the entire world threatening to pull them down, up higher with cheers in their mind, until they could fly no more.

It was only a sudden thought and a sudden panicking flail from the changeling at the front that had stopped them, and together they all realized they had reached the summit of their journey.

For a moment, they felt ready, they felt like charging in, they felt like everything was going their way.

>...Well crap.

That feeling did not last long.

What replaced it instead was an incredulous feeling of one who had just watched catch a bird mid flight in their hooves, something so strange it made them doubt reality itself.

(Okay, this had to be deliberate.)

{It seems too coincidental, doesn't it?}

At the top was the door, as expected.

~To be fair, ain't like they knew who we were, so... maybe it's just a strange little quirk?~

'What are the fucking odds!?'

What had not been expected was the not one, not two, not even three, but six, and they had to confirm again, six different ventilation shafts on all four corners of the room. Two on either left and right, one behind them, and one placed squarely over top of the Elevator doors.

>...Does this seem like a trap to you?

"For us... or for someone else?"

It did not escape any of them the significance of that number, six. That it was their exact team number was strange was something they agreed on.

But they did not forget they were not the only ones to hold that distinction for their team.

(Should we... split up?)

4/6
>>
>>29409139

The idea itself was toxic to most of them, making them recoil with disgust at even dreaming of splitting off in that way they called others fools for even considering.

Yet, with the still present fear that their had escaped them already still deep in their chest, and with the urgency to catch any remains that might currently be slipping through their hooves that such thoughts brought, denying it was much harder than initially had been thought.

Six vents would cover the most ground. Six bodies could move through them with relative ease. Information, in a time like this, was more valuable as a resource than any spell or bullet could ever be. Every one of them, be they infiltrator of an invasive species or mere dragon or mare who'd seen their fair share of action, was all too aware of this fact.

>...Scout. Only.

His words were final, and offered no resistance to his command.

>You hear me? Scout. Only. We scout, we reach the end, and we turn around. If you spot them, you immediately turn around and get us. Do not try to get intel on them, do not try to take them on, do not do anything at all. I do not care if Chitania currently is shaving with a straight razor and took off her chitin for the close cut, you turn around immediately, and you come get us all, and we altogether do this. Either it's all of us who engage or none of us, understood?

None of them much cared to be ordered around like that, especially by one who was so much smaller and weaker, they felt.

"...Understood."

But when the first domino caved, it was not long before all the others went with it.

(Fine. Silver, take the one next to me.)

{What good will that do?}

(I hear anything that even sounds like you're in trouble, I'm opening fire and tearing this place apart. That goes for all of you! It sounds like you botched it up, I'm coming for your dumb ass!)

They chose not to let it show when they heard the unspoken words beneath her insulting command.

5/6
>>
>>29409146

'If you come to a dead end, just turn back and wait for us here, no point in waiting far from where we can see.'

~And if you even smell some cheese and this looks like a trap, turn around and call it a lost cause, no point in risking a maybe when you're all alone.~

>We can do this, just be careful, and be cautious, and they won't see us coming until it's too late. We can do this.

With a near-silent, harmonious agreement, they shared his views.

One by one, the fliers helped the ones they carried into every vent, taking great care not to illicit a single sound as they did so. Without an order or single command to tell them, they waited and watched until all three had disappeared beyond their sight without incident before ever moving onto their own.

Just after the pirate gave them a nod and slipped into the metal casing, a whisper rang out.

'Seven.'

The changeling paused before he could finish slipping in, looking back with a curious eye to the changeling behind him.

'I'll be listening for you.'

"...And I'll do the same."

With a shared nod, they slipped into their vents, and soon the elevator shaft was empty.

Only when they were long, long gone did the entire thing begin to glow.

They had gone, and it was too late.

Huh. You know, I see that foreboding sense of dread everyone was talking about.

Nothings after them, nothing is chasing them down, nobody is going "I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY!" and there's that creepy sense that it's just over.

Like, they're shuffling through the base, but it's just too late.

>Did everyone evacuate from downstairs!?

"Of fucking course they did, we're not stupid!"

>I don't actually care.

"There was a damn leak in the gas line!"

>Did it seep out into the hallway?

"No, thank goodness, so anyone caught walking in there would have been fine."

>Then I don't care.

"You should! I had to reroute all the power from our security systems to that, someone could have walked right through and we'd never know!"

'Sugar bean? The elevator repair ponies shut off the power, but they said your check bounced, so they're not working on it till it gets fixed.'

"Oh great! Just great! What are we supposed to do, climb up and down the thing!?"

>You could, there's nothing in there.

"Listen you, I do not need this right now! I had to pay the workers extra to disassemble the super robots in the basement! We literally had to take apart the robots we built to one shot CELESTIA! It'll take days to put them back together, all because someone forgot to build a door!"

"And now we've crossed species! Which means-"

{BLARGH!}

"That! Ugh. I'll pump some magic-enhcancements in the air vents, that should help."

'Is that dangerous?'

"Nah... well, I mean, if you got a direct blow to the face, it would probably make you super fast and strong for a bit, but that's why we're diluting it."

>This is just the worst day.

"Tell me about it! Now, someone pass me the GodSlayer, I need to.. where's the Godslayer!?"

>Wow, I need a shower. And bandages... and antiseptic.

Quiet as could be, the stallion tip-hoofed towards the shower. Until he noticed that was super painful and had to stop.

>Hooves do not work that way.

He slipped inside quiet as a mouse, and after some disinfectant for the many claw marks on his back, he could finally wash off his shame.

'Ahem.'

Or he would have, if someone hadn't been blocking his way to the shower.

>...What the fuck?

'Hello, old friend! So nice to see you!'

>F-...Fancypants!?

The posh stallion nodded, undoing the tie around his neck.

'Yes, quite right! So nice to see you again, Shining!'

>What... what are you doing here?

'Well, you see, some news has made it down the grape vine.'

He turned around, slipping his jacket off and hanging it on the nearest hook.

'It seems that a certain Queen has come out of story purgatory.'

He delicately took off the shirt beneath it, and neatly folded it before putting it aside.

'Now normally, I'm not one to care for such matters, I come when I am needed, but I was originally going to be part of a subplot that sadly never came to be, and I fear being forgotten.'

Finally, he took off his monocle, and stepped inside of the shower.

>>29409651

'I realize this is quite a lot to ask of you, of course, and surely others are waiting just as much as I am, but I feel that if the opportunity presents itself, I must present as well.'

He rocked his head from side to side and undid his sophisticated mane's look, and with one spin of the knob turned the shower on before giving a heated glance back.

'You can turn me down, of course, but from your soldier at attention, I don't suppose I have to fear that?'

Shining did not need clarification, and stepped inside the shower.

'I didn't think so.'

When he reached close enough to put his hoof on the presented white flanks, Fancy turned away.

'Ahhh, hold up one second, if you don't mind. It seems you're still a bit dirty from earlier.'

>And?

'And...'

He coiled a hoof around his mustache.

'I have the perfect cleaning equipment right here.'

>...Wait, this is all working out too well.

'Of course it is, I'm not real, and you're currently bleeding out on the floor.'

>...

'...'

>...what.

'Bleeding. You're bleeding, unconscious. I'm not real.'

>...Does... does it still count if this is not real within not real?

'Let's find out!'

The stallion walked beside him, and ducked his head beneath the prince's stomach.

>...So am I gonna die?

'Hmmhmm.'
