Ah ain't licked yet.png
159KB, 455x544px
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 183, duels upon duels upon duel! Who will win!?

“And I have a place you can go. Ohhh, it’s down in the river where the bubbles do flow, and with a rock and a chain a down you will go, oh poor old Applejack she’s never seen again, but that’s okay because my freedom I win!”

>Ah’ll give you points for the country tune, but Ah’m not from that part of Equestria, we do more folksy style songs than we do swing style.

“I don’t know what any of that means.”

>Respect, Ah’ lay ya’ ta’ rest. And as such, Ah’m gonna resume the question Ah’ was considering letting slide.

“Curses!”

>Mah’ question is, why didn’t any doctors in Ponyville know how to deal with Poison Joke? A dang newbie-and Ah’ say that with kindness to a friend, knew more about it than the doctors that lived there, why? It grows a literal short walk away from our dang town, but nobody could treat it?

“I don’t know, why didn’t you know about it if it was right next to your town?”

>We never go in Everfree, but you all used to live out there.

“Drat, I was hoping to weasel out of this one. Alright, tell me where your doctor got his diploma, and I’ll review if magical ailments needs to have a more robust course or at least send a guidebook to be issued to every medical center. I thought it was up to date, but clearly it needs a revision, thanks for bringing this to my attention.”

>Oh.

“Oh?’

>That just sounds like a reasonable fix.

“That was what I was going for.”

>It’s just, that seems like it’s a basic mistake that you’re fixing.

“Which is good.”

>It’s just-

“You want to say it, don’t you?”

>Can Ah’?

“If you must.”

>It’s all yer’ fault it took this long!

“Feel better?”

>No.

“Then you didn’t really win, did you?”

>Now Ah’ feel bad.

“And yet again, it’s all my fault. Mmmm.”

“I’ll give you a hoot here, go hoot yourself!”

‘What does that even mean?’

“You’d know if you actually partied with us like you said you would!”

‘I was busy! I can’t revolve my whole life around partying!’

“I don’t even know you anymore!”

>Now, Pacific, can it be you’re being unreasonable to expect her life to revolve around just what you like?

“We’ve always been about the nightlife, she got me into the nightlife, and now she’s just barely even there!”

‘I’m just… busy.’

>Azure, you’re being very vague, that can lead to trust issues. Maybe you should be more direct, and then she’d understand better?

‘...My mom’s been partying again.’

“OH MY GOSH! Azure, why didn’t you tell me?”

‘You know why! I’m sorry, I just didn’t want you to have to waste your nights with me, holding up her hair and keeping her from collapsing because she can’t handle it, but won’t accept it! She’s just pushing herself to collapse and I’m not having fun, I’m a babysitter for my own mom. I didn’t want you to go through that.’

“Azure… you know I wouldn't mind. Maybe I can talk to her, she might listen if it’s from an outside source.”

‘I don’t know.’

“But if not, it’s easier to carry a lightweight if there’s two, isn’t it?”

‘Yeah, I guess so.’

>See? Honesty can sometimes lead you to the answers you were too afraid to have.

I planted my first tree/ first time OP'ing a /pa/ thread!

That's such an amazing metaphor.

>>29538474

Schmoe? SCHMOE? What's going to happen!?

What do you know!?

Well then if that is the case, Two is getting positively destroyed at some point... Note to self get cuter and begin work on the 'A-2'

>>29538682
I know nothing! I see nothing! But I predict and assume a great many things!

Also look at those positive messages! I obviously didn't use a cute image to put you all at ease and distract you first, that would be silly! There is absolutely no way I'm getting ready to rustle somebody's Jimmy Johns with my ideas! Cute ponies for everyone!

So, just to clear up one final thing, sunset has a scar right? We didn't just play it off as a discoloration in her coat now right?
>>
>>29538824
Yes, she still has the scar. It's beneath her coat, but she rubs it all the time, so it's still there.

I don't know how visible it is, though, she's fluffy.

>>29538824
A-Applejack has a s-scar too...

That makes them relevant, right?

Its still a nasty looking scar. Schmoe, be a friend, be my /pa/l and give us a clue. Should we be worried?

“No, really, I need help, I think I found my great aunt, and I need help with this.”

>Holy shit! Another changeling Queen!? You’ve finally found another changeling to add to the list?! This is huge! This is amazing! This is a total game changer! Imagine what you could accomplish with another powerhouse… or the horrors she can create. We have to get to them, now!

“Not going to be an issue, she can’t move.”

>…Is she-

“She’s dead, yeah.”

>You’ve played this game before and I ended up with hoofprints on my kidneys.

“Actually dead, as in, she was buried by a volcanic eruption. Apparently some folks are excavating the area and well, I saw some signs.”

>I don’t even want to know. What did this one do?

“Ephemeroptera. was horny. Really, really, really horny.”

>Not to sound racist, but I kind of expect that from your kind.

“No, seriously. Everything that moved, even before she ascended.”

>Is that odd?

“Super odd, but nessecary.”

>Oh?”

“High turnover rate.”

>…Which means-

“Which means that these guys went through lines faster than you can say ‘Wanna go into the alley? Ephemeropteroidea, Palaeoptera and Pterygota all were born and ascended within ten years.”

>Holy shit!

“Yeah, they were weird. You’d swear they never even ate, but they lived such exciting lives. Birth to death in no time at all, so they literally never stopped partying and hooking up.”

>…There’s something profound here. Profound… and a little beautiful.

“Until they decided to get drunk and passed out in the path of an active volcano.”

>And it’s gone.

“Soooo?”

>So I’ll order a ‘matter of national security’, Celly will go with it.

“I thank you.”

I did my part with Alterjack to make AJ relevant, don't get your hopes up for anything else from me for a while. I drew the horse, its the writers job to chose what direction to guide her.

A clue, huh? Alright, I give you a good one.

One was bad and three was neat, but combining the two will turn up the heat.

Back in Cordecyps Gone Hot, AJ got zapped with a mushroom laser beam, but was just able to hold it off from taking her over wholly

She did this by barricading herself in her office and remaining there for the entirety of the arc until the ending sequence which was itself pretty cool but still unfortunate that for the majority of the arc she just sat in her office and moped

Naaaah, its always been their thing, throwing AJ in for relevance is just kinda... Cheap. Instead of giving her a new interesting thing we'd be throwing her into an old thing so she can coast on their vibes.

And as much as I like AJ and Chrysalis, I still feel a bit of strain between them.

“I want none of this! None! None of this!”

>Maybe you need to show more interest in them.

“NONE! I want out, and I’m willing to literally bite the bullet to get it!”

>Or maybe you need to stop being such a little sissy and just go up and tell that mare you want to get with her instead of dancing around it like a little baby.

“I am literally a baby dragon!’

“You said you erased that!”

“That’s not even-wait, didn’t you have a book on dragons, with dick sizes, and even how our mating habits were?”

>…Why is the bathroom so far away?

Luna squinted as tightly as she could, but it didn’t make things any better. Her long journey to the bathroom had finally come to an end, and now she found herself lost, and unsure which direction she had come from.

>This is… what a loooad of silly. This is very… no, verily wrong! Yes, that sounds more right. Tee hee, verily.

She stumbled, sticking close to the wall to keep herself steady, and of course knocking over every vase or decoration on the way.

>Ow.

Crash!

>Ow.

Crash!

>Ow.

Crash!

>Waaiit.

Crash!

>Getting better!

Crash!

>Ow.

It was a long trip, and it was only going to get longer when she realized she was going the wrong way.

>We art making progress!... But not art, sadly. We can paint, we need to get back into that.

“MAJESTY!”

The lunar princess jumped, and literally. Her back smashed the lamp above her into the ceiling, raining down glass along with her as she fell legs akimbo to the ground.

“M-majesty?”

>We’re okay!

She hopped back to her hooves, wobbly but standing. Her red eyes searched around until they finally landed on their target, a confused bat-pony watching her with worried eyes.

>YOU!

Her dramatic pointing got her a lot of shakes and a worried bow, but nothing else.

>…Did you need something? Because we don’t have any chips. We’re out. Ate every one of them. Just… took a chip and ate it!

Nothing was added to the miming, but it made her giggle.

>>29539942

“Er, no, Majesty. We just were looking to remind you of the press conference, but I guess we’re cancelling that-“

When her Princess let out the longest, loudest gasp she’d ever heard, she paused. When that same princess slammed her hooves into her cheeks and bugged out her vein filled eyes, she felt she would have been better off just letting the princess forget.

>MOTHER OF MOTHER, THE THING! We completely forgot! OH BLAST THE STARS IN THE NIGHT, WE CANNOT LET TIA KNOW WE FAILED AGAIN! WORRY NOT, OUR SUBJECTS, WE’RE COMING! AWWWAAAAAAYYYYyyyyyyy…

She tore off, her wings wide though not flapping as they knocked down everything in her reckless charge.

“…Majesty, they’re over that way-OH SHIT!”

The guard wasn’t fast enough, and soon met her trampling at Luna’s hooves.

>ONWARRRRRRRrrrdd…

The princess left her guard lying there, twitching, in pain, full of hoofmarks and questioning life choices.

“…I need to ask about moving to dusk shift.”

She's not brooding if she's literally trying not to be tempted by an all encompassing evil force that wants her to give in to the control trying to take over her mind and turn her into a creature like the rest of the world. If she'd gone brooding, she literally would have just become on of them.

>>29540412
>that's what I wanna say when stuff gets looked into too deeply.

I wrote that, and to that I say, no sir. No. It was a joke, but do not take it literally or use for justification for 'not thinking so hard about it'. That's the antithesis to everything I like about stories and everything good that has ever been made.

>>
>>29540534
It's happened, especially with one or two of my Chrysalis stuff. Even when I just wanted her to be doing something silly someone would point out something that made me realize it made no sense and was OOC, but that's a good thing. I want that, even with silly stories, because if they looked further into it than they were interested enough to look. You know how many things roll off without comment because people just don't care about it? I don't want that, I want to know even if I'm just making a joke someone cares enough to point it out, and if I'm really lucky someone will actually make fun of it with a story, because that always makes me feel better and lets us have fun with our fuckups instead of just telling everyone to ignore it.

No sir!

>PJ
"Fizzle"
~~~~

It was so hot.

>SHIT!

The entirety of the path behind PJ was nothing but fire. She flew as fast as she could and as far as she could, but the labyrinth never seemed to end. She always found another path and it was never enough. The dragon, Fizzle, was always behind her, always there and chasing her down. Breathing fire or slashing with his glowing claws, it was relentless and it was without mercy.

"GRRAAGGHHHH!"

She could see anger in his eyes in the brief times he stopped to take a breath or to let loose more flames. He was hungering for her end, she could honestly feel the threat of him trying to kill her, and she began to regret ever coming here.

>Just had to break your damn word, didn't you...

Her hooks buried into another wall and pulled her just out of reach of his fire faster than even her wings could have flown. Every time she found a fork in the road she nearly blacked out from the sudden jerking angle a solid ninety degrees. She had been lucky, and was fully aware that if she'd tried the same maneuvers without their assistance, she'd have long since crashed into every wall going by now. This was the one thing keeping her alive.

>Miracle of technology!

"GRAAGGHHH!"

The dragon had no such problems. He'd decided to forgo even attempting such tight turns, and instead whenever a turn came up, he simply smashed through the corners of the walls and shaved off even more precious distance between them. He was unstoppable, unbreakable, and she knew her time was running out.

>Alright then... this had better work.

With a prayer to every soul who could ever care about her in the Hivemind to give her knowledge, she sped her way towards the next fork in the path, and with a shaking hoof brought out her blades.

"GRRAGGHHH!"

Just as she had before, she fired off her left grappling hook the moment she was clear of the wall, and let it pull her.

"GRAGGGH!"

Or at least that's the way she made it seem.

>Gotcha.

1/4
>>
>>29540820

With one swift movement she unbuckled that grappling gear, letting it fly down the hall alone and without her. Just as expected, the wall in the path she would have taken exploded inwards as the dragon charged through it, fully expecting to see his prey in front of him again.

"AAAGGHHHH!"

He did not expect the hook to bury itself into his back.

>Come here, big boy! Give PJ a hug!

He certainly did not expect to hear the whirring of her one remaining gear screech as it closed in on him from behind.

"S-shit!"

His claws came up just in time, acting on sound and instinct alone to guess where the source of the swinging object behind him was coming. His training and guesswork proved true, and the energy in his claws sparked wildly as a deadly blade collided with them. He closed down and gripped with all his might, keeping her from pulling it back when she saw her attack had failed

"Get offf!"

Her attempts to wiggle the blade loose proved fruitless, and soon it was the only thing holding her steady when he started to thrash around like a wounded animal, banging into the walls and letting out waves of flames that couldn't quite reach her, no matter how long he craned his long next.

>Oh come on, don't even pretend this is the first time someone's been on your back and penetrating you!

His growls suddenly turned feral and his roars became more bestial. The thrashing took on a new life, moving on to wildly swinging back his free claws and snapping his jaws at the changeling just out of reach.

>Okay, no gay jokes! Learning together! We are learning together and we could totally get along and-

His cheeks suddenly puffed out, and the hooves on his back felt as if she was standing right on top of a hot stove.

>-and wow look at the time gotta go!

2/4
>>
>>29540825

She dislodged just in time, forced to abandon her hook and her blade in favor of slashing the wire free with her free hoof, and tearing off on wing powers alone. The enraged dragon didn't even know she was gone, too consumed by his own anger and need to see her burn to even look back. His maw opened wide and he jerked his head forwards, flames rolled out along the ground in wave after red hot wave that consumed the hallway and spilled out into the rooms surrounding him. All was bathed in his red flames, and nothing escaped his attack.

>HOLY SHIT!

Nothing except one very lucky, very fast little bug with a penchant for survival.

"...You ready to quit yet, you little bitch?"

The smug words were matched by an even more smug face, and the sickening sound of claws clicking against claws. The energy inside of them had long since gone out, leaving them white as the rest of him, but they looked no less dangerous.

>Quit?

She floated back to the ground, keeping her stance defensive and her wings buzzing to take off at a moment's noticed. She glared when she neared the ground, never touching down to the red hot cinders that had replaced previously solid flooring.

>I haven't even started yet.

His smirk grew even more smug, and flames slipped out from between his fangs.

"Oh yeah? Cause from where I'm looking, you're pretty much fucked."

>I haven't used all of my tricks yet.

The fire in his mouth rolled as his smile grew wicked, giving his voice the tone of rumbling coals when he spoke again.

"Let's see it."

>If you insist.

His jaw snapped wide open, and what would be an inescapable wall of flames nearly reduced her to nothing. Would be, and nearly, if they'd ever reached her at all.

>ZAP ZAP ASSHOLE!

3/4
>>
>>29540831

The power was shoved right back into his mouth, and the flames with it, by the glowing green blast of her magic. He choked, his eyes bugging out and his roar turning into a gurgle of pain and hissing steam. His claws snapped around his own throat as he gagged and wheezed, gurgling with spit and blood as he heaved in pain. He stumbled back, barely able to stay standing, when another blast knocked him right off his feet.

>LASERS BABY! WE HAVE THEM!

He lie twitching on the ground, but she was taking no chances. Instantly her blade was poised, aimed, and she was diving straight to finish this off without another moments notice.

>FUCK!

She was still too late.

"F-fuck you.."

His voice was barely audible over the sound of crackling electricity that made the changeling convulse. His claw, now glowing a sharp cerulean and sparking with lightning that danced between his fingers, stayed right on her and fed the full force of his attack right into the blade she held, and with it through her body.

"Zap that, bitch..."

When it ended, she was still standing, but only barely. Before she could move again, he sat up, still clutching his throat, and got to his own shaking feet. He continued to wheeze, so high pitched it nearly sounded like a whistle, and she coughed and twitched to match.

>...that shit is so cheap.

Despite the fact his throat was killing him, he managed a smile.

"Yeah..."

She couldn't manage the same when he held up three more glowing, powerful looking vials.

"It is, and it's fucking awesome."

He broke the bottles.

>I should just called in sick today.

The battle was on again.

"BURN!"

The changeling doubted it would go very well for her this time.

Oh wow what the hell is wrong with me

"This even included all the memories she had of what kind of powers that changelings can do".

As in she took the teaching memories out so Sunset couldn't accidentally stumble on the Titan magic or Genocide Spell.

Wow I am tired.

>>29542501
No I mean even if all that was removed, do you still think there is something left... Cosmetically speaking?

No? Nothing magical, at least. Don't know what you're implying here.

She has a scar but that's purely physical.

I'm not implying anything power wise, just aesthetically speaking.

As a kinda final fuck you too Sunset that might not have been apparent. Something still left to taint her after everything.
>>
>>29542518
I Think that he is implying that the scar is somehow corrupting her or something.
Which is silly, Chrysalis was a better mind-magic user than Variolus was and she was literally inside of her brain, she would be able to spot any corrupting influence. Even if it starts in the chest it would still show an effect on her mind if that's what happened.

>>29542551
No no, none of that, stop think too far into it and in that direction. Its specifically for artistic purposes.
>>
>>29542540
>Something still left to taint her after everything.

You know what's scary? Her being controlled and pushed towards evil by an outward corrupting influence is somehow less believable and realistic than what actually happened, and way less horrible. We saw it, all the neglect and failures that lead her along until she came to the conclusion she did. Hell, if there was a part of that bitch still inside of her, it actually makes her journey more tragic. Not only because of the lasting influence, but that it was lasting influence that she completely over came in order to get to where she is. She actually had to overcome her hatred of Chitty, which would have been magnified several thousand fold by the inclusion of a power who thinks like her, in order to work with her and eventually reach this point.

The scar trying to negatively influence her would have only slowed her down, and it would just be one more thing that failed to prevent her from going down this path. Even in death, Variolus would be a failure.
>>
>>29542566
Oh, well yeah, I guess when you think about it like that this is kind of a last fuck you.
>>
>>29542575
This had nothing to do with >>29542492 by the way, just musing.
>>
>>29542566
I think the aesthetic actually works pretty good when you think about it. Actually? That entire storyline works spectacularly when you add a metaphor to the heart.
>>
>>29542587
The scar with the heart of Stone beneath it to show that love was needed to survive, but nothing more than that. She was dead outside, and would find no warmth in the others.

The scar with a heart beating true beneath it to show she was alive again, with something finally found beneath the surface and something to make her heart beat again.

It's beautiful
>>
>>29542581
That's fine, muse all you want, I enjoy muses after all.

>>29542587
I want the scar to be the cause of the taint, but only because it would make sense and be appealing with that as a reason for it.

It's just not visible normally, only in the state Sunset would be in would it appear and be seen. And its like I said, it's only for cosmetic purposes, I'm not adding 'Surprise!' lingering Bitch Magic to the power up, that's all Sunset and has always been Sunset.

I just kind of want the mark to be seen not only physically when shes normal but in the instances she's using her power up, seen cosmetically on her magic.

>>29542587
>>29542613
Very nice, very beautiful!
>>
>>29542613
>Variolus left behind death and and aimless wandering in her wake
>Chitaina, the destroyer, left behind life and purpose

This is some creation myth shit right here
>>
>>29542646
I kind of like the idea, but isn't it a little late for that? She has already gone all out with her magic before, and nothing like that showed up. It would have to be a retcon of sorts in order for it to work now.
>>
>>29542676
We did push her to the limit in the fight in the empire, and against someone who could see both love-magic and regular kind, It would be odd to show up now.

That said, I actually don't like the 'taint' idea, it doesn't seem to cosmetically fit her current state and doesn't make sense that it would affect her magic considering her current state of heart. If anyone was going to show up in her magic, it would be Chitania's. Varry and all she brought with her are gone.
>>
>>29542646
>it's only for cosmetic purposes,

For what, though? I'm not sure of the connection between her current state of not-backstabbing and the backstabbingist bitch of them all.
>>
>>29542713
Could just make it general "Queen magic" and make it look scary as fuck. We all know their magic does look like that.

Then it also gets the thematic bonus of implying that both of them are what made her what she is today. A changeling Queen is what made that scar, but which one lingers now?
>>
>>29542575
Sunset! We didn't half ass her being evil, and we have the fucked up history to prove it!
>>
>>29542739
That idea I kind of like, where it's just tainted by Queen Changeling magic, and it makes sense considering her new heart can use changeling magic an she can as well. Maybe have it waver between a more dangerous magic that reminds others of Variolus when she grows cruel, but more powerful and noble looking when she uses it to protect.
>>
>>29542676
That might not actually be so, because it was still mostly The Bitch in control.

But what I have planned, it's just Sunset, EVERYONE will know what I mean when you see it. There is literally no mistaking it, period as anything but her.

So having this appear when you know it should be all her is kind of the point of it, being the final fuck you not only to her but kind of a fuck you to us too.

>>29542713
Trust me it's fine. And if anyone really has an issue with it, we actually can get rid of it, its not that major of a change.

>>29542713
>That said, I actually don't like the 'taint' idea, it doesn't seem to cosmetically fit her current state and doesn't make sense that it would affect her magic considering her current state of heart.

It has nothing to do with her current state, its the next state of being that you need to envision. And it has nothing to do with her state of heart either, its literally not effecting her in anyway its just cosmetically there, like a blemish.

It's like having a dot on your arm or your cheek. It's entirely inconsequential.

>>29542727
It literally has no higher meaning than what it implies. That's shes been marked, its just there. No effecting, no influencing, its just there.

>>29542739
Nope not even that. Literally nothing else besides it just being a mark, another scar.

>>29542755
No we didn't its all her, the power up is all her too. I just want her to have a mark on it. To show the scar The Bitch left behind.

>>29542762
Nuu stop with the higher thinking, shhh! It doesn't add anything, only cosmetically there! STOP WITH THE THINKING! STHAAAAP!
>>
>>29542776
Then I can't get behind it. It sounds pointless, completely arbitrary, contradictory to what happened when she stole the orb, and it doesn't really add anything but another sign that something happened. In reality, story does that plenty. Sorry, I can't really support this. It seems just random at best.
>>
>>29542776
I stopped implying it would involve any kind of control a while ago, I was just trying to find meaning for its existence. I mean, if we are going to retcon Something in here, I'd rather we had a reason besides it looks pretty. This is literally just that.
>>
>>29542776
Yeah, I'm with >>29542813, if it's completely arbitrary and just cosmetic and doesn't add anything and you literally do not want us thinking anything deeper about anything, why do it? Rule of cool? But it's not cool, it's like a bad tattoo, just a reminder of a bad choice and time.
>>

Like, she's been marked, and...?

And it makes others distrust her?

It makes them think she's in control but it turns out it's Sunset all along for a subversion?

That Sunset needs to join Shiny in a rape-survivor group?

I'm not feeling this.

Oh and just throwing it out there, the scar is staying either way, it's the reason why the 'Mark' exists, not the 'Mark' itself. Thought I would clear that up.

>Hello everyone! I’m Shining Armor, and I’m here with my own special segment! “You know what’s awful?” It’s during this time that content doesn’t matter, so I can join in if I want! During this show, I’ll call out things a little wonky and a little off kilter about the main show. Not the main main show, because Applejack would kill me. Literally kill me if I tried to take her thing. So thank you all for joining me on the start of “You know what’s awful?” Well, audience? You want to know what’s awful?

~YEAH!~

>Great. I’ll tell you what’s awful, being excluded because of your cast of characters. Not even because of screentime or effect on plot, but because of who hangs out with you! How is that not awful? Even if you don’t encroach on any ongoing arcs, even if you haven’t actually done anything major for threads on threads on end, you still get treated badly! Isn’t that awful?

“Shining, you’re going off script-“

~YEAH! IT’S AWFUL!~

>Shhh, they’re liking it.

“But it’s not following the script-“

“Executive producer!”

>Whatever. You know what else is awful? When your lovelife makes everyone hate you even though it’s a side thing. Isn’t that awful?

~YEAH!~

“Getting meta here.”

>Hey, you know what’s awful?

“Complaining despite a heavy story presence that most of these characters with a show aren’t getting?”

~YEAH! THAT’S AWFUL!~

“We going to address any real, show related concerns next time instead of whining?”

‘Mostly, but not totally, no.’

“Told you!”

>Report!

No matter how many times she cried into the device that was supposed to link them all, only silence followed her calls.

>Report, damn it!

Only an empty void of crackling static emitted rang back to her, and only dread followed it.

Soon after she had been surrounded by a power she did not understand, trapped in this glow of energy she swore familiar no matter how alien it seemed, she had called out to them, and received nothing back.

When the battles, wherever they were, had begun, when she heard the crash of stone shattering and the rumble of blow after terrifying blow, she had begged.

When the void answered back at her, leaving her alone and trapped within the magical creation of her world, she had panicked.

>Will one of you damned pieces of shit answer me and just tell e what is going on!? I can get to your locations if you just give me a damned clue!

When they failed to respond once again, she despaired.

>Damn it, damn it!

The high she'd held of victory and smug superiority had long isnce gone, the tingling sense of satisfaction as she remained undetected now replaced by the dread that she had been wrong every inch of the way, and now one by one her allies did fall.

The images of them being hunted, all just out of reach that their death cries could reach her ears and warn her of what was to come, it was all too much.

Daw's there to take out the Sweet Note miniboss.

Spike is undoubtedly going to defeat Flash, or more likely Diamond Tiara is going to come out of nowhere and fight him with Silver Spoon support, letting Spike run after Chitania and Sunset because main hero and he has to be the one to confront her and blah blah blah.

PJ is going to be on the ropes until Seven shows up and that alliance thing they did earlier comes into play.

No way. Flash has not only forced him and Spike far away from Sunset and Chitania, but he's also giving him a beatdown that, even if Spike does eek out a win, he's not going to be doing a whole lot of running. Maybe limping, ala Snake in the oven hallway.

I've always imagined that a Unicorn's magical signature was special to them, its like a finger print, unique only to them. The shade of color, the sparkly effects, everything about it unique to them. Now imagine, YOU'RE using all YOUR power, enough to manifest in a transformation, everything is YOU at YOUR finest! And you see something that is clearly HER and not YOU. Something from someone you hate on a level most could ever hope to achieve. The final 'Fuck You' form one of your worst enemies is that they've messed up your most special trait.

I was gonna have the outline around her horn be in the shape of The Bitch's horn.

Because it was the pursuit of science in a selfish and reckless way that ultimately led to her accident and her downfall.

I actually don't like that idea, and shockingly it's not because of Two being muh buggles.

What I liked about AUJ's timeline is it's NOT a hellhole bad end for everyone but AUJ, it's fine for the majority of them, she just gives very little control and very little options to anyone to do anything but what she wanted them to do. It's her word, the end.

The implication is a bad thing happened with the lings, but it hasn't been confirmed they were wiped out, and frankly that's the better option for a more morally grey darker but still ultimately positive in some ways timeline. Genocide, full stop, makes you the villain, especially in a universe where they can be stopped without wiping them out. The idea she wiped out a huge portion in her 'all out or nothing' idea has merit, because not only does it establish her characters insight but gives means to grow.

Though, I suppose there's also merit to the idea she finds out most lings are pretty okay, they just don't want to be hungry anymore and would willingly give up a lot for that chance, and they're not really monsters deep down. It's a little contrived, and is done for pretty much every 'sympathetic' villain-leader, but still, it has weight. It's just there's only one direction to go with it, "It turns out I wiped out what I thought was monsters but aren't, guess I fucking suck and can't ever fix it so I'll mope or something because it's not even like this could happen again, this is just a one off shitty thing I did." Not very nuanced, but at least it's direct.
>>
>>29554765
I agree with most of it, except the whole 'only one way to go with it', because we could just have her disregard it and go down full-villain route, "It had to be done and it doesn't matter if there was another way, my way was the best one, and if the opportunity came Ah'd wipe 'em out all over again.". Not saying we would or I like that idea, just saying you could theoretically go more than one place, as AUJ is portrayed less morally grey and more in a place of black and white. AJ is the morally grey one, AUJ sees things two ways, her way or fuck you. That aside, I like the idea they're not all wiped out in her world, because it gives a tangible problem she has to address. "Ah' killed a lot of their family and friends, Ah' killed their leader, and now all of them hate me. Ah' want them to have a chance at life they never had before, but Ah' don't know how to do it. They're not monsters... so how do Ah' keep them from becoming them, because of me?"

I like that, and it's a great way to show blunt and direct can have some horrifying repercussions.

I agree Chrysalis should be dead, or at least cut off from the lings, though. Give some weight to a heavy choice.

Run.

It was the only conscious thought in a sea of terrifying fear ridden thoughts she could pick out. A singular word holding with it all of the terror laden parts weaving through her very being and straight to her rapidly beating chest that summed up the only primal instinct that made any sense anymore. The only thing she could do anymore.

She cursed herself a hundred thousand times over for her insistence on coming here, regretted every single argument she now retroactively knew she had been squarely on the wrong side of. Time and time again her friend had warned her and ordered her to steer clear and never join her in this insanity, and she'd never listened. She'd thought only of helping her out, ensuring she came home, making sure her friend was looked after, that was all.

The fury and the booming sound and the terror that followed had never even crossed her mind, she'd never wondered about it for a moment.

It was here now.

If she'd liked it or not, it had come for her.

There was nothing she could do.

Nothing, but run.

>I wanna go home I wanna go home I WANNA GO HOME!

Down through twisting mazes of metal walls, left and right turns made without thought or care, not a single idea or guess where she had come from or where she would go.

More than once, she felt the rumble of attacks beneath her, sometimes she felt heat as if the place below burned, one time she swore she heard the beating of what could only be described as a golfclub on warped flesh. She heard it all and her mind was filled with the images of all that it could be, all her team mates that could be burning or beaten beneath her, but she could never bring herself to go help them.

Instead, she ran.

>I wanna go home I wanna go home!

She ran and she ran, until she could not run anymore. She could not move anymore.

The choice had been taken to her.

>FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

>>29555387

Any adult of respect would have surely chided her disgusting language, had they been around, and rightfully so, but it couldn't be helped.

The fall when the metal beneath her gave way was just too startling, had she not let out what she felt inside she would have burst into a red streak before she ever hit the ground.

Shortly after doing just that, she wondered if such a thing would have been preferable.

>...owie.

Internally, she cursed, and reasoned no child should ever have to know what it feels to have a myriad of weapons and one very weighty brace dig into their spine. She should never have known just how heavy each bullet weighed, and how much the grander stories always left out of the weight she carried, but in physical form and without.

She reasoned inside should never have to know what that felt like.

Or, for that matter, what it felt to have her heart lock mid beat when she heard someone gasp. Of all the things in all the world that should have brought her a terror unlike any she had ever known, it should not have been that sound that filled her head with images of a gory demise.

She tried to scramble up, tried to bear her weapons, but her limbs wouldn't move. They'd frozen, feeling like gears that had rusted shut, and she had frozen with it, in mind as well as in body.

For a single moment, a minute, an hour or an eternity, she'd never be able to tell, her whole world was this slice of time where all she could see was what was directly in front of her.

Of all things, of all possibilities, of every chance encounter of all the world, she'd found the strangest of things.

A mare.

"...Hi?"

A very confused, very nervous earth pony mare.

"Um... d-don't move?"

Holding a very big weapon in nervous shaking clutches.

No, since Princess seems to be the highest title attainable by an Equestrian.

As Changelings have both Queen and Princess titles, a Changing Princess is actually lower than an Equestrian one. The Title of Equestrian Princess is equal too a Changeling Queen.

I did her well in advance for the time skip, when we were just starting to discuss it I think. It only seems like a long time but was meant to show up at this point and time anyway. Secondly, that was in regards to AJ's limiting factors, not the time it takes to work my stuff in. That will always take time to be done right, but with AJ its because no one wants her to be serious long enough because it cuts into their giggle time.
>>
>>29559863
>hat will always take time to be done right, but with AJ its because no one wants her to be serious long enough because it cuts into their giggle time.

Not sure if I buy that, even with the vocal minority thing, since whenever anyone brings up her best moments they either bring up "RODE A FUCKING DINOSAUR AND NO-SOLD A NUKE" or "Apple-crazy!", both of which were her most serious moments, you never really see "That one joke" as her best moments.

She can't be serious all the time, no one is, but saying we never make her serious isn't right.

Meh, I missed the Spike-Breakup thing too, so not so much. That was literally just what I thought about off the top of my head, I didn't even get into her investigation of the Canterlot Attack, or a bunch of other moments, I just said what was a stream of consciousness and trying to think of a moment from all the serious arcs.

The Arm-Break to this day remains the biggest shakeup of status quo until Spike-breakup, so it's worth repeating twice.
>>
>>29560072
Very good, I also would have accepted the debacle with Sunset when she was still high on life. It wasn't her best moment, but it was a moment of seriousness. I concede.

>>29560082
I do not accept the break up, it wasn't all that notable besides the fact that it got rid of a forced ship and freed AJ up for Shining.


That being said though, she still not getting it unless I'm satisfied with the outcome of the AJ vs. Alterjack finale. If nothing is fixed, I mean well and truly fixed, it will have been a total waste of time on all our parts. She needs to not be a background fixture anymore, more involvement, less quackery.

>I do not accept the break up, it wasn't all that notable

It ended the longest running ship besides Shining/Cadence as is literally the only time in the entire series a couple broke up for good. It's also the third most introspective moment of AJ's entire history and a damn fine character building moment where she realizes she needs more in life. Forced ship or no, there was a solid history there that lasted for almost three years and now is over, if that's not notable I don't know what is.

"Fizzle'
~~~

It hurt.

"Not so tough now, are you?"

It was terrifying.

"Go on, let's hear some more of those fucking quips."

It was almost over.

"Let's hear it, before I break your jaw."

She was down to just one blade, every other one now broken on the ground, and her singular gear on her leg. She didn't even know how many other grappling hooks she had left, or what her fuel level was, and she wasn't planning to look down to figure it out. Looking away from the dragon for even a moment could be costly, and deadly. She wasn't willing to take the risk.

"Come on, say it! Or do you finally get that you're facing a real dragon, not like those pussies back home. Oh yeah, you thought because my colors I'm some little bitch? Well..."

Lightning danced around the room when he swung both his claws out wide, searing the glowing walls and warping and crumbling everything the light touched.

"Who's the bitch now!?"

She tensed as another waved crashed into her following a swing of his claws. If she kept her blade to the ground, she was not shocked, but that did little to stifle the burn and force that pushed her back with the magical attack.

"Huh!? Who's the bitch now!?'

>If you're so tough, why're you still working for Sunset?

He paused mid swing, genuinely looking amused she would even try ti.

>I'm serious, if you're so damn powerful, why are you still licking the boots of a pony? Is it maybe because compared to her... you're still a little bitch?

That amusement shifted into rage in the blink of an eye, and the room was filled with more bursts of electricity.

>What's the matter, 'real dragon', can't take it? Cause I don't know about you, but I know I'm down on the rung. Me? I couldn't even beat Forty Two if she was back to her best, I'd probably have to go all out to beat Seven, and I'm damn sure Chrysalis would fry my ass if she got serious, I don't pretend I'm the best... but all I've heard from your scraggly ass is how great and how powerful you are.

>>29560362

The changeling could see his frustration building, fire was building inside of his mouth again, so she continued on.

>So which is it, pinko the magic lizard? Are you really some top tier badass, or are you just another damn lacky who's nipping at the heels of someone so far beyond you she only keeps you around so she doesn't have to deal with someone like me? Are you really the hardcore dragon... or are you just another bitch for her to sit on when she doesn't have a couch handy?

He roared. A little high pitched and warbly, but he roared with all his might and unleashed a twin torrent of flame and electricity, just as she expected. Her single grappling hook jerked her to the side, down the fork of the hallway she'd been backed into, and the wall that had stood behind her and the room beyond now was nothing but a giant molten tunnel clear to fresh air.

>I'll take that as number two! You're bitchdragon supreme! How do you think the real badass dragons would feel if they say you now, struggling just to hit a nobody while hopped up on pony magic? How's that pony magic feel inside of you, huh? You like it all inside you, jabbed in your tightest places? Does that pony juice make you feel good when it gets pumped in, buddy? You feel good all night long with it? I bet you just love it when you get held down, and you feel that thick prick unload-

"SHUTT UPPPPP!"

Wall after wall was utterly decimated as he let loose his strongest attacks. He never even moved from his spot, unleashing all of his might in a single deadly wave after wave of fire and thunder in perfect mixture, carving a solid row through the building and out into the skyline beyond.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT! UUUUUP!"

2/4
>>
>>29560368

It took perfection to stay ahead of it. With only one gear left, she had to time every switch exactly perfectly to never lose her momentum as she flew. If she'd missed, hesitated for a single second, even slowed herself down to get her bearings, she would be consumed by the blast behind her. Nothing short of absolute perfection would be enough.

"SHUT!"

That's exactly what she brought, for as long as she could.

"UPPPP!"

Until the blast behind began to fizzle, and the destruction struggled to even break the first wall.

"S-shut..."

Around and around and around she went, down the still burning and charred path she had left in her wake, until she saw it.

"Up..."

Her opening.

>Knew you were a-

Time itself seemed to freeze, and she found herself floating in the air. Locked in place, everything around her hanging where it had fallen, and her sight filled with the bare and vulnerable back of the dragon before her. She thought for a second that reality really had stopped and found herself believing for a moment that something had happened and Sunset had pulled out some device, or some strange ability, something like that.

"What was that?"

That's when the dragon's spine straightened, and he slowly turned his head around, grinning from ear to ear.

"I couldn't quite hear you."

His claw raised up to her, pulsating with a strange blue magic, and flicked her on the nose. She felt her whole body rumbled in the invisible grip holding her and everything else in place, perfectly in tune with the pulsating throb on his claw.

"What were you going to call me?"

It took all she had not to reel in disgust when his claw touched her cheek.

>...Come on, don't play that game.

He smugly grinned wider, and brought a single claw beneath her throat.

>We both know.

3/4
>>
>>29560376

So wrapped up in pressing it into her chitin, he never even noticed when she gave all her might, and her hoof flicked just a little bit. He went rigid, there was a click, eyes slowly trailed down to the pink on his chest, where a strange blinking light had appeared.

>We both know you're a little bitch.

He never had time to move, or react, or even let out a scream before everything was fury, and fire. Everything overtook her so fast, she never even had time to regret her choice or not.

In the next second, after the pressure had collided with the magical grip surrounding her and holding her in place, she knew.

>...Nope.

And she smiled, just before she was completely overtaken.

PJ exploded herself and Fizzle.

But she was being held by the telekinesis Infusion when it happened that had magic all around her, so she might've survived?

Telekinesis infusion magic is blue, Chitty's was blue when she used it to stop the missiles during the CE invasion. That's just consistency.

"Reporters"
~~~

Her hoof swung out with reckless abandon, and with it, the massive double doors leading to the pitch black courtyard swung open with it. If the reporters seated in front of the podium had jumped any harder, they'd have transformed the place into a skeleton only press conference. Every one of them watched in confusion as the mare of the moon stumbled out, keeping her wings pressed hard to the hallway for steadiness. They watched as she walked right by the podium and nearly made it to the other side before a thought struck her, and she looked back and forth.

>Wait...

It took far too many looks of confusion back and forth before it seemed to click, and she stumbled back around.

"Er... Majesty?"

The one closest to her nearly jumped again when she suddenly slammed her front half on top of the podium, putting her entire weight on it and nearly breaking it in half.

"U-uh... are you alright?"

She blinked over and over as she looked out over the crowd, eyebrows scrunched up and furrowing together as she tried to make sense of it all.

>...HI!

This time more than one of them fell to the floor after leaping right out of their chairs. They would be sending her the bill for their crushed cameras the instant they knew she wasn't going to chew their heads off. From the way she looked at one reporters muffin top mane, the threat was very much there.

>Okay, so... hold up.

She seemed to search for something for a second by alternating looking down at the podium or adjusting her black crest on her chest in a way that stirred more than one strange and inexplicable feeling, before she suddenly froze.

>Shootaloo!

Her smile and soft giggle at her own words was way more disconcerting than Nightmare Moon had ever been.

>Ha, we need to tell the young one that, she'll love it. Oh, the terror we shall bring!... What were we talking about?

One brave, stupid soul cleared his throat.

"The... the press conference-"

>SHOOTALOO, RIGHT!

1/4
>>
>>29561859

More than one had moved to the door. That number would only increase as time went on.

>Okay, so it's like... does thee know of Applejack?

She made some gestures with her hooves that made little sense in context and quite likely would have made just as much out of context.

>You know...

They intensified in the worst game of charades any had ever witnessed, or the greatest, reality had become pretty confusing in the last few minutes.

>Okay, so it's like, there's her, there's Applejack-she's the one with the hat. The hat? You know...

For some strange reason this involved her right foreleg making gestures at her left foreleg, and everyone secretly started to look for cameras. They discovered them, nearly cried out that they'd found the source of the pranks, then remembered why they were there and felt very silly.

>Okay, so... yeah, so, yeah. There's her, there's the hat pony and there's... another one!

She held for reactions, it seemed.

>...ANOTHER ONE!

Her screaming louder got a reaction this time besides baffled silence, though it was left to be discovered if "Crying with terror' had been the one desired. Regardless it seemed to work.

>Yeah! Like... WOW! Wow, right? There's another one... but not hat pony.

Several had now fled, fearing a gas leak, and those that chose to stay just wanted to see where this was going.

>We mean, she's the hat pony, but not the hat pony, because no hat. She's from another woorrlllddd, woooooo~

Nobody was quite sure what to think when she wiggled her forelegs so hard one of her silver shoes fell off.

>So that's what we're dealing with, so when you see her and she's like, not wearing the hat? That's the one without the hat. Kay?

She actually waited after that to make sure. The Princess of the Night actually went quiet after that, stared at each one of them with half lidded eyes, and waited.

>...Kay?

Several ponies shrugged, but most just kept staring.

2/4

>>29561865

>But don't worry, the world will not explode! We've been assured of that, no explody! Yay!

They felt like they should clap their hooves together with her just to show support, even if that statement had made each and every one of them wish this meeting had taken place in a bathroom now.

>Buuutt we can't send her back yet, even though we don't want her, cause she's just... she's a loooud pony, like, you don't even know, all the time with this... loooooud. HONK!

Whatever chairs that had survived were now long since destroyed.

>Like that? She never went honk but that's like... loud. Or does she?... Do you think she honks when we're not around?

Suspicious eyes suddenly looked around the room, as if she expected to find ninjas in any corner. Either to bluff it or because she'd seen a shadow move in the corner, she suddenly gestured to her eyes and then pointed straight to nothingness.

>Yeah, you'd better run.

More reporters took her up on that offer, only the bravest or stupidest stayed.

>...SO! That's all, the pony with a hat has an alien pony without a hat, and she's here, and we're trying to get rid of her, but nothing is going to explode, so all the times you saw hat pony without a hat, she was there, and not there, and it's all fine. It's fine. Nobody is going to explode... Any questions?

They had many, many, many questions, and many nightmares no doubt to follow, but not a one of them could actually manage to speak. They'd been struck dumb, completely silent, and nothing was going to ever be right again.

>Excellent! We've done our very first confidence, huzzah! Thou art dismissed!

3/4
>>
>>29561874

They'd nearly jumped up at that, more than one of them thinking that her act had just been a way to avoid answering questions. All of them went dead still and dead silent once again when the princess suddenly sat down, reached into her hair, and pulled out a positively massive bag of cool ranch potato chips. After a solid three minutes, and most of them timed her, three minutes of struggling to get the bag open, she headbutted it. After it popped, she reached inside, pulled out a single chip, and put it in her mouth.

>...hm.

And slowly, very, very slowly, chewed that single chip. She didn't touch the rest of the bag, only that one chip.

>...ya want shome?

Nobody had the courage, the stupidity, or the mind to take her up on it. Instead, one by one, they decided they had enough, and those that didn't just up and flee instead tried to walk out with whatever dignity that they could find, and they left the princess alone in the courtyard while they went off to make sure they hadn't been fatally poisoned.

>...Why do they call them potato chips anyway? Why not flakes? They're more flakey... huh, and corn flakes are more chippy than flakes... huhhh...

Nobody knew how long she'd be there.

>...I am the best princess.

And uh.

Sunset probably is a big no no on that one. Just gonna take a shot in the dark that even if she had a crush on her at one point, around the time she literally tried to sing "Fuck you Applejack' and bring the whole crowd in for it, it got a lot less sexy. But hey, given enough time...

>Dash
"Pinkie"
'Gilda'
(Changelings)
{Griffons}
~~~

First the situation was bad. Then it got a whole lot worse.

>Gilda!

Sometime around the aerial chase above Griffonstone, with Gilda nipping at her heels the whole way around, things beneath her managed to somehow spiral out of control worse than they already had. A difficult task when the thing beneath her was literally a war, but somehow she managed to pull it off.

"Dashie! Can you please stop playing racey-horse and COME DOWN HERE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!?"

Element of laughter that she was, Pinkie was trying her very best to keep the two opposing sides from ending up with a pile of corpses in the only sign of interspecies harmony that would be seen that day. She fired off her party cannon to disperse the crowds of clawed and ravenous griffons, she zipped over and jammed giant corks over the horns of the laser spewing bug monsters, she even breakdanced to trip up any in the middle of running to a dramatic clash and only partially because sometimes a pony's gotta dance. It was pure riot, it was chaos, and despite what anyone would say she couldn't be everywhere at once. Not this time, at least.

>I would love to, but-

'DWEEEEBBB!'

>BUT THAT!

The griffon on her tail apparently was no longer willing just to do some laymans throttling, she was a sophisticated bird who had moved up in the world to brandishing a mace made of the finest chunk of rotted housewood, and she would not go back after tasting the good life.

>Gilda, seriously! There is seriously a war about to break out!

'Good! More reasons I can break your skull in and not go to prison!'

>There are so many things wrong with what you just said!

'I'll be sure to give them a look over after I knock them right out of your head!'

>You're only adding to the problems!

'I've got time to look!'

"Dashie!"

One moment of hesitation was all that was needed.

(AH HAH!)

All that the changeling needed to move aside, and open fire with her lasers.

1/4
>>
>>29566705

Things had gotten worse after a griffon squawked and hit the ground.

(EAT IT BIRD BRAIN!)

(Original.)

{See!? They are monsters!}

(That one literally just chucked a spear at me!)

{But she didn't shoot you with lasers, this is not an equal response at all!}

(She doesn't have lasers!)

{You're not helping your case for this being a measured reaction.}

(There's like a hundred of you and five of us! How is that measured!?)

{Twenty to one, I think?}

Everyone, on either side, even the pair of fliers up above, all of them gave pause, and regarded the grey, short griffon standing away from the battle, happily twitching her yellow claws in front of her grey chest. In the silence, only Pinkie Pie had the wherewithal to bring up her hooves, and give a soft but respectful applause before everyone silently acknowledged it.

{...where were we?}

(Responses to lasers.)

{Oh, right. It's obviouslyTHIS!}

(OHSHIT!)

So wrapped up in the confusion, the changeling hadn't even noticed the green eyed griffon until she was right on top of her. The changeling mare let out a squawk not unlike the griffon who tackled her and began wailing with her balled up talons, and somehow, things got worse.

(OH SWEET MERCY LOVE, NO!)

The blasts that had come before had been measured, calculated to merely push back and do no harm besides some light singeing and maybe a bit of a sting. The one used to push the griffon off was quite different.

{HOLY HAWK IN THE SKY!}

That became pretty apparent when the griffon was literally shoved through the adjacent building, most likely the home of one of the crowd who cried out in despair, either that or a relative of the griffon who had just become an impromptu wrecking ball, whichever.

'GRETA!'

The griffon up above was many things, but she was not someone who let their friends, even their sort of not really friends, get punched through a building via green laser blasts, even if she did have pony hide to tear apart.

'Oh, it is ON!'

2/4
>>
>>29566723

Despite her saying this, she was the only one who moved towards the changeling with the smoking horn. Everyone else had taken one look at the griffon shaped hole in the wall, and smelled the stench of burnt feathers, and they'd reconsidered every life choice they made up to this point.

>GILDA!

Just before the changeling, who even now remained fixated on his own actions and the results of them in ignorance of the rest of the world, could be acquainted with the business end of a giant hunk of wood, his savior came.

>OH SHIT!

And then went, along with his attacker, right into the side of another building.

{MY HOUSE!}

It was at least relieving to know exactly which thing in that exchange held the most value and was worth the most regret.

>Uh...

In the middle of a destroyed living room, which had she cared to say it actually looked better post destruction than the rest of it did as it normally was, Dash was regretting her own life choices.

>...For the record, just getting this out of the way, I actually came to make up with-

Her answer was a grip around her neck, a wall, and what she hoped was a sink and not a toilet.

'DWEEEEB!'

It was a toilet.

>Just my damn-

And then it was the sweet open air of the outside world, before it was the hard landing of the rocks down below, and several long months of physical therapy.

"DASHIE!"

Or it would have been if there hadn't been a bouncy castle hastily pumped up with a bike pump in the way.

"You okay!?"

>It was a toilet, Pinkie.

"...Is that a yes?"

'DWEEB!'

"SON OF A-"

There was a gasp in the crowd, and she saw talons close over delicate ears.

"..Hijo de puta!"

Everyone looked at each other, and shrugged.

"Yeah, I figured you guys weren't much for multiculturalism."

>PINKIE-

Right about then she wished talking had somehow stopped time, and the charging griffon hadn't just tackled her through the streets, dragging the popped and shredded remains of what had been a soft landing in her path.

3/4
>>
>>29566731

"Hey! This bouncy castle costs money, you know!"

{Isn't it called a bounce house-}

"We're literally in the middle of a war here, let's try to at least keep the situation from escalating to 'no survivors on either side'."

Nobody could argue that.

'ACK!'

Especially not the griffon hurled through the air, clear over three different things that on their best days could be called 'houses' and on most days could be called 'shacks with beds in them.' The one positive to cruddy, grass roofs that struggled not to leak in bad rain was that they at least made decent landings.

>...For the record, I don't approve of the idea.

The changeling standing over her cocked an eyebrow, letting the green magic dissipate.

>But I also like my teeth, so just this once, I'll let it slide.

(I think you need to join forces with us.)

>Getting the impression that's already assumed and I can't really do much about it, yeah.

(Uh... any chance you have a plan? The pink one didn't. Her plan was awful.)

She surveyed her situation. A ton of pissed off griffons, far less but equally pissed off changelings, a pink pony who was being pushed to her limit, and a screaming wail of a griffon over the distance.

(Well?)

>...You guys have any magic necklaces?

(We don't get those.)

>Bummer.

(Do you have one?)

>Mines in a tree.

(Can you get it out of the tree?)

>It won't help.

(Right, right. In that case?)

Off in the distance, a figure exploded upwards into the air, now brandishing twin metal poles that had become her spears of righteousness, and bug slash pony stabbing. Down below, the griffons felt a renewed sense of vigor at the sight, and their previous hesitation had gone in favor of renewed mob rage.

>...Give me a minute.

Up above, the griffon looked down, and whispered.

'No.'

"...I get it-Oh, mierda."

'CHARGE!'

"???"
~~~~

>Bloody hell...

A crackling of electricity and a crumbling of stone were all that answered back to her whispered cry. She walked with near silent steps as she moved forwards, delicately pacing down one hoof in front of the other with deliberate choice, each one careful not to disturb the swaths of wreckage that she had stumbled upon, the blasted ruins that remained of a once pristine section of the building. Even as her heart beat in rapid misfires with fear, she kept moving.

The resounding shaking and explosive sounds had lead her here, as foolish at it would seem to most to walk towards the clearly dangerous sound of thunder and eruptive power. It seemed that whatever had followed had lived up to whatever dark thing her mind had conjured, even a vivid imagination born of years of witnessing the most destructive of horrors unable to comprehend the scale she now witnessed. Whatever had attacked, it clearly held little regard for any soul in it's way, and likely even less regard for those it considered foe.

Her heart skipped a beat when she wondered which of her companions, her team, had been the one to bear the brunt of this power.

>Fuck... not again. Not already...

She didn't even dare hope that they'd survived, the deafening silence spoke volumes more than any cheer of victory ever could.

>I'm sorry, I hurried, I really did...

She had moved without care for herself being spotted, or if she were to find someone in her way, and she still wasn't fast enough. It wasn't the first time, she'd seen many fall by blade or cannon or even tentacle or claws, but this one was special. Her life with these ponies had been one of ease, of little thought given to death and to those who would take life with reckless abandon.

She would admit it, her pride was not so great, but she had grown used to the idea.

1/6
>>
>>29569306

She'd grown used to the days without fear of someone she knew facing a quick or painful demise, she'd grown accustomed to engaging in battle and not seeing swaths of bodies strewn about. These ponies she'd found lived a much more carefree and much less dangerous life, it was so very different from the one she had lived before.

She would not go back, not for all the bits in the world. She never faced a giant three eyed squid anymore, she'd never seen a harpy that needs it's head cleaved off before it could cleave her own, and she never wanted to again. She found the idea, that she would pick danger and her life on the line every day for mere 'adventure', patently foolish. It was the dream of a colt of filly who did not know the value of boredom.

She'd lived that dream, and for a while, she'd thought she'd finally woken.

>I'm sorry...

It was too easy to slip back into this life, and she didn't like that one but.

>...but I'll make sure whoever got you is gonna get theirs, a hundred times over.

Her blade was at the ready, square in her wing's hold and ready to made good on that promise. The flesh of whoever had taken her friend was about to give it a fresh coat of paint, and of that she could be sure. The ponies who lived in this place may be squeamish about such ideals and such thoughts, but she was anything but.

She had lived this life, and knew what would come of thinking like that.

>I'll make them pay-

A sound, so soft she'd nearly missed it, locked her steps dead in her tracks. Her ears swiveled to and fro, pointing every which way in the desperate hope to find the source of the sound.

"H-help..."

She was off like a rocket at the noise, all thoughts of stealth and careful planning long since disregarded. All worries of being found and all care to the possibility a trap lie in her wake were now nothing but long forgotten dreams.

She felt the need to run, and run she did.

2/6
>>
>>29569324

Down the winding hall, over the scraps of floor that had once been smooth, and into the final fork in the road.

>... blow me down...

To her left of the charred path, she saw a path of destruction, a long road that lead to a single hole in the doorway just at the end, and to glimmering sunlight further beyond the room that lie behind that door. She could taste the sweet air flow in through the seemingly freshly created gap, and hear the rush of winds clear up high.

"Help..."

All thoughts of questioning were lost and forgotten at that sound. She turned around, and true to what she had believed, it was true.

"It hurts..."

Spike the Dragon lie at the end of that path. Broken, beaten, looking like he'd been at the center of a terrible blast, but there he lie.

>SPIKE!

She recklessly charged to him, pushing past the blasted chunks of wall that still smoked from the recent explosion. Her wings moved of their own accord down into her rucksack, where her first aid kit lie in wait. She pulled out the strange device that held the healing magic of Twilight herself, something she understood about as well as she understood how magic itself worked, and that was very little indeed. All she knew was if it worked or not.

To her relief, after she hovered it over him, it began to do just that.

>Heh, should'a figured you'd be the one to get the better of them. Which one did ya' send flying? Looks like you did a number on 'em.

The purple drake groaned for an answer, shifting slightly enough to move closer towards that mending delight.

>Oi, keep your scales on, you'll get fixed, just stay still alright? Look like you took the full brunt of a damned cannonball.

He stilled and let the magic do it's work, and she was content to do the same. It would not fix him entirely, and the magic was very limited, but every bruise she saw fade brought another inch to the smile on her face.

>You'll be okay... had me worried there.

3/6
>>
>>29569336

Little by little it faded away, until it was only purple scales beneath.

>You feeling better?

A single eye opened, annoyance clear now that the pain had finally faded away, and with that he shuffled to his feet.

>Don't take it out on me, I'm just here to save your scrawny ass.

"...yeah, thanks."

He flexed both claws, making sure everything worked as it was supposed to, carefully looking over for any other sign of injury with slitted and intense eyes.

>You okay?

She couldn't help but feel uneasy when harsh and searching eyes suddenly cut over to her. The dragon seemed wrong somehow, everything he did was much too harsh and much too focused. There was a scowl on his face, a stiffness to his movements, everything about him screamed only one thing to her, and she'd seen it so many times before.

Something was wrong.

>Spike... what did you have to do?

It truly seemed to take him off guard. The way his eyes suddenly furrowed together and his head took on an ever so slight tilt, what she had thought a soft question had irritated him something terrible, and she'd not a clue why.

"I do what I have to do, thanks."

Her stomach churned at that, the voice of the dragon so carefree and lively now sounded cold and stiff, everything about it sending of warning after warning that everything was just wrong.

>Spike, hey, don't get scary on me now, whatever ya' had to do, you're still my teammate, okay? I've had to do a bit of shitty stuff myself, figure I know a thing or two about it.

He turned his back on her, completely looking away and ignoring her entirely. Instead he just continued to look himself over, feel for any parts still damaged, he was looking for something wrong with her.

She couldn't quite tell him it wasn't something he was going to find.

>Spike...

"Anyone else behind you? We need to regroup here. I don't have any way to talk to them, if you've got it, get everyone here."

4/6
>>
>>29569357

She sighed, knowing it was pointless to continue on. She'd seen a sailor or two clam up like that, usually on their first night taking down a ship, and only time was going to fix this when it was all over.

>Naw, it's just me, and those communicator doohickies don't work, I've been calling you guys for hours.

"Do you know where any of the others are?"

>Ain't got a clue.

"Really? You don't even know which direction they might be in?"

>Wouldn't any better than you, we all saw where we split up.

He paused at that, seeming to carefully mull over his next response.

>Still trying to take charge and be the leader, eh?

He never said a word to her, never made a sound. He'd finished looking himself over let his arms go limp, and just kept staring down the hall.

>You'll get there someday, but you ain't never gonna...

Something was wrong. When she looked down at those dangling claws, something was very, very wrong.

>...Spike?

"Hm."

>Where... where's Charity?

He looked back with a glance that in both parts confused her, and horrified her.

"I just said I don't know where anyone is, how would I know which direction she went?"

She didn't even think.

Something took over inside of her, something moved her without her thinking, something told her through honed instincts of a thousand battles to act, and act she did.

On her own, her wing lashed out, and brought her blade right towards his head.

It stopped, dead in it's tracks, held by glowing claws.

>BLOODY HELL!

Green fire swept over the dragons body, consuming his frame completely and masking his next attack. Before she could bring up another defense a heavy weight crashed into her cheek and sent her sprawling down the hallway, rubble and shrapnel cutting her every inch of the way until her painful stop.

>S-stupid, stupid! How the fuck did I forget that you're a fucking changeling, you giant bitch...

The insults died on her tongue, suffocated beneath her breathless gaping stare.

"Surprised?"

5/6
>>
>>29569368

When the figure stepped from the fire, she had no response. The look on her face of twisted terror did more than any words ever could.

"What am I saying? Course you are. She was right, Sunset I mean. She said, you guys would never be smart enough to put it together, you're just too damn arrogant and... what did she say, vapid? Whatever, I just call it what it is. Fucking stupid. How else do you explain it?"

When solid white feet stepped out through the fire, and an alabaster claw ran through a perfect pink frill, she said it all with her silent scream.

"She cracked the code to give Queen Chitania those magical powers... your really think she couldn't figure out how to go the other direction with it?"

Fangs glittered in the light off his Cheshire smile, shining with the same glee he gave when he tossed the used vial of glowing green magic away.

"For the record, that one right there..."

He pointed down the hallway, to the gaping hole in the doorway and the hole to the endless drop outside the building.

"Is where your friend just went, and you're next."

It burned inside of her. The sting of deception, the hate to his smug superiority, and the rage that boiled as he so casually talked about what she had feared the most.

>W-who... who was it?

He paused his stride, and brought up a single coy claw to the bottom of his chin.

"...You know, I don't think I caught the name.... meh, does it really matter?"

That fire ignited, and there was no putting it out now.

>YOU SON OF A BITCH!

She charged.

And she would not stop until she took his head.

>>
>>29569382
I have to give you props, that shit took me right off guard, I seriously thought it was just Spike Living On The Edge, but WHAMMO! And I always appreciate it when stuff like that has a previous explanation(It worked on Chitty so she just did it the other way and Infusions have always worked on Fizzle). That was a serious guy punch from reading Daw's understandable concerns to watching her realize Fizzle just killed one of her friends, and she doesn't even know which one. Excellently done, and I can't wait for the next twist.

>>29569426
>The story is moving at such a pace that by now he must've been knobbed off

We're probably going to cut back hard to him, but I see why they left him out until now, this twist super worked because Spike was in the fight with Flash, if they'd revealed it before now what he's up to it would've been obvious. But now that we know, where IS Spike? Is he actually broken?

The fact that she is the wildcard the group makes what her part will be in this a real piece of guesswork
>>
>>29570162
Not only is she the wildcard, but if she's charged on enough love or gets a hold of one of the lings and drains them, she's the most powerful player on the board, she could literally wipe the memories of the entire A-team or make them kill one another.

Or, alternatively, she alone could stop Sunset, nobody else is strong enough now that she knows they're here. Spike's opening is long since closed.

“Top story to-DAY! I actually don’t know!”

>It’s called a mare, Buzz, but I see why you don’t recognize it.

“OHHHHH!”

~Does it breath underwater!? How do you work!?~

>But in all seriousness, Princess Luna gave a press conference, and, well, I have no idea what happened.

“Me either. I’m more confused than Fuzzy would be if someone asked him to name his favorite restaurant for a first date!”

>OHHHHH!

~The place with the… food?~

“All we know is it involves ponies with hats not having hats, and the world isn’t going to explode.”

>Good news! That means you still don’t have to give Buzz the time of day!

“OHHHHHH!”

~Not even if the end of the world was coming! I’ll prove it!~

>While we try and figure out what that mess was all about, we’re going to give you guys a new hit single to calm you down. P.O.N’s, “It’s the End of the World!”

“Also known as, the day Fuzzy gets to second base!”

>OHHHHH!

~Ha, jokes on you, I haven’t even made it to first base!~

“HIT IT!”

“Because of the chewing!”

Hoofington Valley.

A circular depression in the otherwise immaculate landscape of Equestria, spanning a vast 240 square miles of land. Bound by the Patella Mountains to the north, the Shawl Hills to the west, the Chalk Hills to the south and the Carpus Mountains to the east. Only a single river, the Thyme River- cut through the valley from the northwest all the way to the southeast.

Unurbanized and left in its natural beauty for the longest time, it was now dominated by the sprawling industrial complex the EVO Corporation had grown to become after centralizing more than 200 small businesses and countless freelance 'investors' from all voer the country. Standing in the middle of the valley, at a staggering height that went beyond the 2.000 feet mark and thus high enough to surpass even the tallest spires of Canterlot Castle from a distance with ease, was a single skyscraper the likes of which the world hadn't seen before this day.

In an unspoken defiance to the Gods it reached for the skies and Heaven itself with more than 168 floors, its immaculate, white surface reflecting the light of the sun into all directions away from it. Only countless hours of work, performed by the hands, claws and hooves of the corporations' many and varied employees, combined with architectural knowledge not of this world plus nothing short of the miracle work of magic had made it possible to be constructed at all.

It was grand.

It was unique.

It had been secretly dubbed the 'Tower of Revolution'.

And on this slightly cloudy spring day, it was on fire.

Flames licked from several windows that had burst open during the last hour, alongside with the adjacent walls, causing a rain of deadly glass shards and rock to rain down onto the ground below. Explosions shook the entire building, a thick, dark cloud of horrid smoke wafting away from the tower to cover nearly all of the nearby streets and buildings in choking darkness.

>>29576083


Terror had arrived in Hoofington Valley, brought upon its residents by none other than Equestria's self-dubbed finest and their opponents who had hidden in their midst.

And yet...

Those outside and away from the immediate threat range of the battle, who were evacuated by the corporations dutiful and well-paid security force, were showing no sign of fear, wariness or haste. Emergency plans were put into motion. Every set of eyes that watched the tower was filled with calm confidence, inspired by the words running across every single digital display in town.

KEEP CALM AND TRUST IN EVO.

And so, Hoofington's residents did just did. Without second-guessing, without worry, without fear, they trusted in those who had saved, grown and helped them to become more than they had ever aspired to be. Hoofington's residents entered the stairways and buildings that would lead them into the underground beneath Hoofington, where the supposed safety of emergency shelters awaited them.

Down, into the darkness, where everything was silent.

Door were shut, locks were engaged.

All of Hoofington fell silent on that day.

~~~

>I don't have time to deal, NGH, with your personal vendetta, Flash!

Spike's world was nothing but a constant onslaught of pain, brought upon him by the relentless machine of a stallion battering at his body without ever needing to take a breath or slow down. It was as if the pegasus was completely removed from the onset of fatigue. Unlike him. Spike didn't know what had changed since their last encounter. But as much as he had grown, the stallion and guard once known as Flash Sentry was ahead of him in pure, direct battle prowess.

“I know. Your eyes are wandering all over the place. I suppose there were others with you? You are worried about them.”


2 / 7
>>
>>29576097


He knew that now. He just wished he'd known sooner. His panic was making his voice shrill and sharp, whereas Flash remained calm and steady. The pony's words were a low murmur, brought to him whenever the stallion was close enough to breathe down his neck or face.

>If you know, and if, OOF, i-if you have any shred of decency left, you, hhaah, would help me stop them!

Over and over, the unyielding, brutal, heavy hoof of the stallion slammed into the spot just between his ribcage and gut. His scales held true, withstanding the blows and protecting his body from a fatal wound, but he could see the faintest bits of hairline cracks begin to form upon them already.

Things were looking grim.

“No. I will no longer try to argue with you, try to move or move for you. You and everything else the princesses have touched, including your band of misfits, are clearly far too gone to deserve any semblance of pity or remorse. “

Yet the minuscule damage was Spike's smallest concern. His guts felt like they had been put through a blender for reasons detached from the beating he was getting. Fear had begun to set in. Not for himself. But the others. Too much time had passed since the onset of the alarm Sunset Shimmer had sounded. He could hear explosions, feel small tremors shake the building. Fights had broken out all over, and he didn't need to be a tactical genius to known that everyone he'd arrived with was likely fighting for their life at this very moment.

>GET. OUT. OF. MY. WAY!

Whrrrrr-BANG!

He needed to be with them. They needed to regroup. They HAD to stop whatever Sunset was about to do. Before it was too late. Before Chitania would rise again. But...

“I will not let you try and kill someone I care for again. Put your gun down, and I will reconsider letting you live at least.”

>>29576103


There was just no chance to counter, not chance to shoot back straight, no chance to disengage from Flash Sentry. Whenever he raised his signature weapon, the stallion entered his personal space with such speed and brutal savagery, even using his own momentum against him became a distant possibility. Whenever the stallion put distance between each other, he moved with such insane speeds he couldn't even begin tracking him with his hard aim alone.

>If you cared even one bit for those monsters, you would have stopped them from hurting others and themse-UGH!

WHUMP-crackle-CRACKATOOM!

He had lost track through how many walls they had gone through, but when yet another distant explosion went off and the entire building shook, he knew his time was running out.

Another exchange took place shortly after, leaving him dazed and shaken, his knees feeling like jelly.

BANG!

Flash whipped his head sideways when his gun discharged, burning the air and causing the synthetic, blue mane of the stallion to curl at the ends from the heat of the magic intended to end his life. They both leapt apart, one panting and struggling to stand, the other emitting a constant, unnatural whirring sound even as he held still.

“If you really cared for whoever came with you, you wouldn't have brought them to fight for their lives here.”

They both mustered each other.

>Why...? Why are you like this? Where did your life go so WRONG!?

Spike grit his teeth. Flash tensed.

“...you should ask yourself why are standing here, fighting me and likely losing your friends to pointless struggle that isn't even of your own making.”

They were ready for another clash.

~AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEH!~

CRACK-CRACK-CRACK!

KA-BOOM!

Both of them jerked hard when a distant scream reached them. The high-pitched, shrill scream of a mare... or a filly. Time seemed to slow for both of them when they glanced at each other, their minds racing.

Time stopped altogether for them.


4 / 7

>>29576113


Tranquility and certainty were now all they knew. They had climbed all the way to the peak and had reached the apex of their encounter, caught in a battle high that sharpened their senses to the absolute extreme. They both knew that this was the end of the line. It didn't matter whose scream it was, and why it was made. The final straw was bending, about to break.

Flash moved first.

He charged. Recklessly and no longer caring for his own safety it seemed. Spike responded by bracing his feet firmly into the ground, his free hand extended as if he was preparing to throw an actual spell to ward the stallion off.

Flash ducked left. Charity's muzzle tracked him. Spike waited. Flash became impatient... and a moment later, he was on Spike's left, moving so fast his hooves left skid marks on the ground. A hoof was raised, ready to slam down and cave Spike's skull in...

...and Charity wandered from one hand to the other with such speed and grace even Flash Sentry's synthetically enhanced limbs couldn't reach their goal before a bright light exploded from the muzzle and struck the stallion right into the head. A one-in-a-million shot, true and tried, causing Flash's head to rock back violently.

The cyborg, Spike's opponent, was falling...

...falling...

The fur and flesh on Flash's Sentry's sides tore open, hissing vapor shooting out of his body. The stallion's body twisted so unnaturally he must have pulverized his own spine.. Spike only had a brief vision of reddish-glowing eyes upon a half-destroyed face, leaking blood, oil and alchemical fluids. Spike could see all the way into the stallion's skull.

Something struck his chest, hard. A soft crack rang out. One of Spike's scales finally broke. The blade that had emerged from the stallion's hoof sunk into his body so smoothly he barely felt it. The pain only set in belatedly.

They knew it was over when they pulled away from each other. One way or another, this was the end of their battle.


5 / 7
>>
>>29576123


Spike tried to take a breath, tried to say something derisive. Instead, he spewed out blood all over Flash's hoof. He shuddered, he spasmed. The pain was setting in, and when Flash yanked the blade back in one, smooth movement zhat sprayed the dragon's lifeblood all over the wall, Spike stumbled back. Away from him.

Spike felt weak. So incredibly weak. He could barely clutch Charity to his chest, his claws feeling numb and cold. A moment later, he was sitting down without noticing having done so, his back resting against the cracked floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

The rush was over.

Silence seized the moment to set in. Flash gazed at Spike with an expression that was impossible to read, looking distantly regretful. Spike only heard the rush of his blood in his ears, one of his eyes swollen shut, the wound on his chest continuing to spurt his lifeblood all over his clutching hand.

“I think I understand you a bit better now. I guess you really can bond with someone in a fight, as twisted as that may sound. But the only mercy I grant you is the promise that when finally I kill you, it will happen quickly.”

Spike rose his bloodies gaze, his lips tugging upwards. How was he even talking. There was nothing left of his lower jaw...

>Pfht.

The derisive, dismissive snort of the dragon was telling. Even in defeat, he wouldn't back down. Even when bloodied, beaten and grievously wounded, he wouldn't stop. He couldn't He mustn't. Everyone under his wing needed him. Just as everyone Flash cared for depended on him to stop the young dragon.

“Any last words?”

Flash approached him, and Spike responded in continued defiance. Clutching Charity in a shaking, unsteady hand, he took aim at Flash Sentry, squinting with his remaining, good eye.

Click.

>...bang.

Flash Sentry heaved a single, shuddering sigh as he pulled away from the cold metal pressing against his ruined skull.

“That's what I thought.”


6 / 7
>>
>>29576128


The way the stallion swung around was smooth and elegant, every muscle playing its part to build up momentum.

“I am sorry it had to be this way. I really am.”

The way he cocked his hindlegs back a work of art put into motion. Spike had more than enough time to admire his end as it came for him.

>... me too.

The single, thrusting kick that planted both of Flash's hooves into Spike's chest, slamming him into – and then through- the one-inch armored glass was vicious in its simplicity. And it propelled him far, far away from the tower's rooms and outer wall.

“Goodbye, Spike.”

Spike didn't hear Flash Sentry's parting words to him. He missed the regretful, lonely look in the artificial eyes of the stallion as he walked without looking.

Spike could see the beautiful, radiant, white tower, damaged inside and out from the many battles taking place within it, as his body arced back. As his vision dimmed, wind whipped past his body as gravity pulled him back into her cruel embrace. All Spike could see in that brief moment of weightlessness was the beautiful, blue sky. Graced with dense clouds, the sun hiding one of them.

For a short instant, as his trajectory took his body so far from the tower that any hope of being caught mid-air slipped away, he felt blessed. A final, parting mercy was granted to him. He passed out long before he would have felt the impact of his body smashing into the ground hundreds of feet below.

No one was left on the ground outside the see the tiny, purple and green shape plunge into the thick, curling smoke halfway down the plaza surrounding the entire tower. No one was there to hear the dull impact of something slamming into the white stone, cracking it irreparably.

I loved the talk they had, I loved the action, I loved the twist, and I loved the 'bang' reference, and how it perfectly tied into Silver Spoon falling into Sweet Note's room. This even answers a question we had before, with Silver Spoon's first glance where the room got destroyed beneath her and she almost died, that was apparently Spike getting punched the first time. It's all tying together so perfectly.

You mean bring in more characters to the fight? I'd advise against that, and not just because a character divining that something is going on is really bad storytelling, and there's no other reason they'd know what was going on in the middle of a desert. i know we like to joke about her seeing 'a lightshow' but really think about how far away that would be. If they plan to bring in someone else, they will. Apparently this is pretty well planned out now, despite the fact that it's three different writers!
