First for bang

SO!

How bout that ending!?

>>29577887
Is it bad if I admit I'm a little disappointed? I was kind of hoping this was going to be Spike's shining moment, and I mean that in the story sense not the pony sense, and then he gets taken out by a miniboss at best.

>>29577887
Ain't over till you see the body, hombre!

>AJ
"Celestia"
~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"And I have so much more, but does anyone ever ask me about them? No, I'm here to suffer, and suffer I shall. Unless a fair mare were to save me with her loving heart?"

>Ah' traded that for an apple. Reckon Ah' got a good deal.

"RATS!"

>But mah' question is, how much do we tax the clothing?

"What?"

>Clothing, you know, for goods taxes, what's our rate on this? Just want to know how much we're getting out of it.

"Applejack, don't be silly! Most ponies don't wear clothing, you silly silly mare. You are a silly pony."

>Well, yeah, but some do.

"Exactly, why go through the long task of setting up rates I'll have to negotiate for some clothing barely anypony wears?"

>Because they're luxury items, which means ponies pay way more for them than normal to balance out supply and demand.

"Well yes, but-"

>And since the supply chain's main areas are in Manehatten and, ya' know, here, it means that those who spend money on clothing spend a pretty dang large amount.

"I suppose, but-"

>So it means tens if not hundreds of thousands if not way more are going by untaxed and unregulated, and ponies of the upper class are putting their money into areas that can't benefit the state and only benefit the distributor."

"Er, well-"

>And this has been going on for centuries."

"Uh-"

>All cause you thought ponies don't wear clothing, and you didn't want to make any regulations.

"W-well-"

>And finally, to top it all off, you had this idea that nobody wears clothes, and then host a ton of parties where they wear super expensive clothing.

"Wwwweellll-'

>We've lost millions if not billions in taxes and it's all yer' fault.

"I KNOOOW!"

>No flip? You normally flip here.

"No, I want to stick around for when Rarity realizes you're going to essentially tell her that her taxation is going through the roof."

>Crud.

"I will have one joy today and nobody will stop me!"

>>29577910
Look on the positive side, at least he isn't missing it!

>>29577910
I like the fact I can't predict it more than just him shitstomping everyone.

>>29577819
>Filename

Dude!

Stop making fun of her dead parents!

>>29578064
Seriously, we need to stop digging up old jokes just to beat a dead horse.

>>29577910
>miniboss
Spike expected a souped up Prinny, but he got Jetstream Flash'd instead.

>>29578080
Let it Rest In Peace already!

>>29577910
He literally one-shotted Chitania, I think he's put in a good showing.

>Applejack does some "aggressive negotiations."
>My bee pun stung more than the actual bee.
>Rarity can be a gun if she feels like it.
>Twilight's algebra lesson was unwanted, but actually did solve the problem.
>Moondancer didn't kill herself.
>Luna gets a little dark.
>Sweetiebelle went down the wrong hole.
>ponytail fanservice!

>>29576760
>Nah, once Sunset Shimmer opens up the gate to heaven and finds an army of Ghost Riders there will be plenty of people to fight.

Spike has a big wheel, and a jacket now... Huh.

>>29578341
>Sweetiebelle went down the wrong hole.

Well there is a change of pace, completely the opposite for once! Usually somebody else is doing that

>>29578414
It's Sweeite, there is no such thing as a wrong hole

A toast to the one we just chucked out of the building!
OOCO
>Spike
"SA"
'Chrysalis'
~AJ~
~~~

>There. Are you happy? I invited her.

"See? We can be cool about this."

'Cool about what?'

~Ah' don't wanna talk about it, let's just play the game.~

'Cool about what!? I will not be left out of this conversation!'

"We'll tell you later. But first, it's time for a dice roll! Got anything you want to say?"

'...Is this a trap?'

~It ain't a dang trap.~

'It feels like a trap. You all know I want to bone Shiny here.'

>Okay, I didn't want to be that guy, but I'm in a mood, so I don't c are about your feelings anymore. Unless you have equipment I don't know about, you have been using that wrong this entire time.

'Pfft, I have not.'

>What exactly do you think the 'bone' in 'boning' is?

~Spike!~

>She has to know, AJ!

'HAH! Obviously it's... it's a... well it means when I take my um... bones and...'

>...

"..."

~...Chrysalis-~

'Oh sweet love.'

TABLEFLIP!

'If any of you ever say a word of this, I'll deny it until the end of time, nobody will ever believe you.'

FWOOSH!

>...

"..."

~...Roll for advanced-~

>OH COME ON!

~It was gonna be initiative, but iffin' ya' wanna be like that-~

>I'm sorry!

"Okay, maybe playing post-breakup was a bad idea. I guess six.... months is the gauge. Five is apparently too short."

>Don't be like that!

~Ya'll don't be like that!~

"I'm calling Twili."

>~WE'LL BE GOOD! WE'LL BE GOOD!~

"I don't believe-"

>He'll do it, the madcolt!

~CHEESE IT!~

TABLEFLIP!

SLAM!

"...You guys realize you put it back the right way, right? It was-guys?... Guess I'm casting advance seduction on my self tonight."

>>29578630
Ohhhhhh!

I'm sorry that's just a reflex now.

>>29578630
...is this really the only story we've gotten about the after effects of the break up?

>>29578808
Maybe AJ will go into more words about it at the funeral

>>29578808
Kind of sad to think, but that's about on par with how much they actually discussed their relationship when it was really happening.

>>29578466
L-lewd.

>>29578222
He's kinda got a point here.

What, did you want him to literally defeat all the bad guys by himself without any problems?

The fact that Rarity hasn't beepbooped Charity out of curiosity bordering concern and not received a "User death; Iminent" warning is kinda....

Simething

>>29579757
If he's making a concentrated effort not to be seen, why the heck would he have that feature on?

>>29577887
>SO!
>How bout that ending!?
I am scared where this arc is headed. It turns out to be far bigger than I anticipated. And now that someone died, I am genuinely worried for the characters I like. At the same time? I can't wait to read more.

It's a very complex kind of feeling.

>>29579960
Isn't it great! It gets my juices going! I just wish I wasn't so swamped with so many things, too many little projects at once.

>>29580366
>so many things, too many little projects at once.
Tell us your secrets! What can we expect?

>>29580717
Chitty/Celly clothing swap, Elton Pon, classified, classified, classified, classified, Saddle Arabian Pego-Villian, classified, this new Spike Ghost Rider Thing that just popped into my head and a few more classifieds.

>>29580941

>And welcome everyone to another episode of Fantastically Fixing Friendships, Featuring Fluttershy. It’s during this time... ahem, it’s during this time that content doesn’t matter, so we don’t have to stop the train. Our next guests are two who usually play along, but now they’re on opposite sides. Please welcome Sea Swirl and Lipstick Vanity.

“It’s not my fault!”

‘How is it not your fault you messed up the buckball game for us!?’

“I just panicked!”

‘You ducked from the ball!’

“I said I wasn’t ready!”

‘That’s a very big not ready!’

>Now, Vanity, if she wasn’t ready, why’d you push her out onto the field?

‘She said she could handle it!’

“I said I think I can!”

>Vanity, that isn’t very sure sounding.

‘HRMPH!’

>But Sea Swirl, it's wrong to imply you’re okay with it, but then hide when the time comes. If she was counting on you, it was up to you to perform or admit you weren’t ready.

“I thought I was, but then it just came at me so fast and I just panicked. I just saw all your faces and…”

>It sounds like there was a lot of pressure there.

‘It was a game!’

>That doesn’t mean everything.

“No, I should have just sat it out if I wasn’t ready.”

‘Why’d you even come on anyway?’

“You said you needed another player, or else you’d get kicked out, I didn’t want you to fail like that. I thought I could handle it.”

‘I… guess I should have worked with you more. You really did save my bacon from getting disqualified, and you didn’t have to. I just expected you to swim.. that was wrong.’

“I can try harder.”

‘You still want to?’

“Of course, I don’t want to leave you like that.”

‘…I’d love to show you some tricks.’

“I’d like that. Team?”

‘Team.’

>…notshowherhowtousethemagicofbuckballsinallsortsofways-

“What”

>Only that this is all the time we have today. As always, stay kind.

>>29580941
Hype!

>>29580941
>Chitty/Celly clothing swap,

Can't wait to see that one!

>>29581260
I love the part where you can totally tell she is waiting for the beep.

>>29579757
He literally said he's not involving any of the other main six in this, I really doubt she'd get anything but "user unavailable" back.

She was looking for him last thread too, she obviously would have tried calling him.

>>29581591
Hopefully she has a remote locator that can work across continents.

>>29579960
Arc trio are doing great, yeah.

“AJ”
~~~

>Princess Applejack, hail to thee.

“Forty Two.”

>I’m afraid this meeting isn’t one of pleasantry, this is one of politics and business.

“Forty Two?”

>I bring reports of military activity. Be warned, if you interfere in this, it will be seen as a political snafu. This is a delicate training operation, we will beget no spies, no looking into our path and our world, and nothing of the sort regarding any attempts to learn. Though we are allies, we cannot give you privileges that we would not give to others, and this is one we dare not trust with any other.

“Forty Two!”

>I know of our history, and our workings, which is why I deliver this notice in the flesh, and not letter. It is a matter of respect, I hope you show me the same way.

“FORTY TWO!”

>Yelling is not respectful.

“Look at the picture you’re holding!”

>…

“…”

>…Ahem.

“…”

>This, uh, this appears to have… been a mixup.

“No, Ah’ thought for sure ya’ just wanted me ta’ see yer’ masterwork.”

>Shame. This is bringing me shame.

“The use of crayons for the little smiles are perfect, by the way! And wow, did ya’ manage ta’ nail Shiny’s big old muscles!”

>They’re bigger than that.

“…”

>I mean… shame.

“…”

>Can we please pretend this never happened?

“Sure.”

>I feel the respect now.

“…”

>..Still a lot of shame though.

“Tends ta’ happen.”

>Shaaame.

“…”

>…She draws your hat perfect.

~Pish posh! She needs to taste the sweet ocean air at some point! We want her to grow up cultured after all, see a bit more than a bunch of white all day.~

“Why’d ya’ bring us in, though?”

~Well, obviously, Shining is a special case, being a stallion. Certain, ahem, areas need a touch more refinement and care.~

>And I need to point out there’s been a bit too much ‘refinement’ and could use a bit more ‘care’ in there.

‘I’m not taking back my hate for you. Haaate.’

>Dang it…

She found herself up against the side of the wall yet again, the third time it had happened today.

>What in tarnation is wrong with me?

Just like before, the sweat on her brow was soaking into her head, hairs clinging tightly to her face and only ever disturbed when she gave out another harsh breath.

>Ah’ve dealt with worse days than this, come on old gal. Get your shit together.

She was used to the feeling of being sick, weak, downright hard to find breath. She’d worked herself to death so many times that even the grim reaper likely had long since stopped counting. This was her natural state, in many ways.

This was her life.

>Come on, one hoof in front of the other, get back to work.

There was only one mare in the world who gave commands, herself.

There was only one mare in the whole world she would listen to as well, herself.

>Atta girl…

With those shaky legs, those wobbling hooves, and a brush to remove the sweat from her brow, she got back up.

>Ain’t done yet, got more work to do.

Back she went, with all pain and all fatigue hidden behind a face that would make any changeling blush with respect and shame. No one would ever know. They would never need to know.

>This world still needs fixing.

No one would know that feeling that grew worse inside of her every single second that past.

No one would know, until she chose.

Far away from the land of Equestria lies a room, its stone walls covered in runes that glow with a gentle, white hue. Dozens of large crystals float about, each displaying a single rune upon one of their faces. At the center of the room stands a bipedal creature, his silverish-white form clad in dark blue armor. Before him is a large table, a giant crystal floating above the recess at its center.

>Hrrrmmm.

A grimace on his face, the creature continues to contemplatively stare at the crystal.
Images played within its faces; images of distant lands, fantastic creatures, and...

>So many souls.

Three knocks upon the door separating him from the outside world prompt him to glance over his shoulder.

>Enter.

The door slides open as his attention returns to the crystal, its scraping sound coming to a halt. Hoofsteps follow after; coming one after the other at a casual, familiar pace.

>Leaving so soon?

His guest lets out a light laugh.

"Quite a guess. You know me too well, Storm King."

For a moment, the Storm King's grimace turns into a smirk.
>Do I hear a hint of apprehension?

"Mmm. I worry quite a bit about this world. It's in my nature."
He can hear the smile in his guest's voice, no doubt amused by his verbal sidestep.

>Hmph. The creature concerns you?

"Creature?"

>A Shard Spy has caught glimpse of something from beyond the void. Don't know what its goal is or even where it is, but...

The Storm King's lips curl into a smile, jagged teeth on full display.
>So many souls!

"Interesting. But, no. I'm concerned by some trouble brewing in the stars."

>What will you do, then, Star Gazer?

"Hmm. Perhaps I'll go home for a bit. Help hold down the fort.
Otherwise, I think I'm overdue for another trip to Equestria. So, I'll walk for a time and see how things go."

>Fine, then. May the Runes light your path.

"And may Time never dampen your spirit."

The hoofsteps resume, drifting farther away until the scraping of the door drowns them out completely.

...Er, I'd reaaallllyyyy advise against adding in The Storm King like that, unless there's a featurette that makes any of this make sense. I'mma guess no as "So many souls" doesn't sound like something they'd write for the movie. Also, bad choice of name for the random OC, there's already a Star Gazer.

She'd dreamed of being a princess once.

>AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!

Dreams of being a fair maiden who's prince would rescue her from the tallest tower, a dazzling feat of blade and skill in such a dashing way to leave her breathless as the ogre that kept her fell to the ground, defeated.

She'd dreamed of that, for years, yet it never went the other way.

>AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!

Never dreams of doing the adventuring herself, never dreams of slaying her own dragon to rescue the fair prince from his imprisonment, she'd always be the one to have them doting on her, serving up her kingdom to be and all that came with it. She'd always expected that some day, it would just come to her, that she'd been born for it.

She'd never dreamed of being an adventurer, or slaying any beasts, and certainly never one who would ever take a life, in any way.

She never wanted to be a killer.

>AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!

She could only hope, and pray, that the mare currently aiming her weapon with shaking hooves felt the same.

"Uh... u-uh... you okay?"

She wasn't, the long and repetitive screams should have made that abundantly clear. As such, she only had one answer.

>AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!

If there could be one thing of ease found today, it was when the other earth pony's weapon lowered to the ground.

"H-hey, I'm not gonna hurt you, you-"

>FUCK YOUUUUU!

Very little thoughts were going through her mind right now. Somewhere, buried deep in the resounding song of "I want to go home", only one other seemed to find it's way to be heard. That hymn of battle that told her that everyone in this building she had not shared at least three glasses of milk with were out to kill her.

>ARRGHHHH!

And she had to do the same right back.

"SWEET FUCKIN' IN THE MORNIN'!"

1/4

>>29583544

An elder likely would have chided the brash mare for her foul language near such innocent ears, but it would almost certainly have been drowned out by the hail of wild gunfire that shaking hooves sprayed in all directions.

The taller mare just narrowly avoided being pumped full of endless holes from the twin automatic guns burning her grey hooves, having to rely more on the lack of care and the lack of focus to do the dodging for her in what would otherwise be an impossible to miss situation. Even dead center at a bullseye, she just couldn't pull off the finisher and land a single bullet before she vanished behind an opulent couch, and said couch found itself torn to shreds by whatever few seconds her aim could focus.

Her hooves never let up their grip, and the roar of metal flew around the room for a time that seemed far longer than the minute or so it surely was. She held on, she screamed, and she screamed.

>ARRRRRRGGHHHHHHH!

She screamed against the wail of gunfire, until soon the booming room heard only her own calls, and nothing else.

>EEE....AIEEE!

Shaking grey hooves jerked and twisted, but to no use. The guns produced only a slow click, and nothing more.

"...So it's like that, huh?"

From behind the makeshift shield, she spotted the very corners of a scrunching muzzle, and from that area heard the faint sounds of power slowly humming to life. A flicker of light, so faint it was near invisible in the room's already warm glow, shined just out of the corner of that shield and through the many gaping holes that still smoked.

"Alright, ya' wanna play?"

She heard the hum, so much less threatening than the snarl in the voice that called to her, but couldn't bring herself to move. She could only stare, dumbfounded, where her foe lied.

"THEN LET'S PLAY MOTHER FU-..."

2/4

>>29583554

She'd popped up full of vigor, full of energy, and full of rage.

All of it had died down, and with it the crackling energy on that strange gun, the moment the elder mare laid eyes on her.

>...I wanna go home...

The deadly weapon dropped right down, and the mare had never looked more ashamed in her entire life. Shaken eyes just kept glancing back to the weapon that had nearly finished her off, one that now seemed to have gained a heavier weight from the way the mare shook to hold it.

It was with cautious steps, and that same look of remorse and twisted pain, that her 'foe' emerged, and walked towards her. She couldn't bring herself to fight back, she couldn't even bring herself to think if she had another weapon to pull out and strike the other again while the chance was high. She could do nothing as the taller mare approached, and soon was withing grabbing distance.

The other did no such grabbing, never even reached out to touch her. Instead, the strange mare did something that left her utterly baffled, and even more confusion into a mind that had nearly shorted itself out a hundred times today out of fear. The act so confusing, so strange, was also so very simple.

The one she had been trying to kill not a moment ago just sat down next to her, that was all.

"...I feel you."

Both weapons fell from her small hooves, and soon the other mare joined her in laying them down, all thoughts of fighting forgotten.

>...I hate this.

"I do too."

>I'm not supposed to be here.

"You? I ran every time someone shouted "You want some!?" back on the streets, and now they're blowin' up chunks of the wall!"

>I have a report due in two days.

"I ain't even special enough to be here, I'm just food."

>This is stupid.

"This is fuckin' dumb."

>...why are you here?

>>29583560

Off-white shoulders shrugged, or at least she assumed they didd. She hadn't quite brought up the courage to look yet.

"Sunset said to get my white ass down here if someone broke in... not her words."

>That's not what I meant.

"Oh..."

Silence filled the air, as noxious and as thick as smoke and the stench of gunpowder. Both of them sat as they were, unmoving, unblinking as they stared straight ahead, all sight locked on the many bulletholes that had filled a room otherwise quite spacious and grand, nothing else to think of.

They sat there in contemplative, empty silence, for a long, long time.

When the answer came, low as a whisper and barely there to be heard, it managed to shake her as roughly as if an eruption strong enough to turn the tower to glass had gone off beside her.

"...Because my friends are here, and there ain't no place in the world I'd rather be."

>>29583487
I vote no, considering everything else we have and haven't done... Doing this now is just pre mature and in my completely honest opinion, unnecessarily stupid.

>Ah' like her, and don't want to look down on her as a failure.

"You know dang well that Ah'..."

“I’m forcing the professors of Canterlot to rework the current dimorphic theorem regarding spell combinations. Clearly, they just jammed a bunch of them together with no thought whatsoever to any sort of nuance of the immersion of certain fluid spells versus more rigid ones.

“Ha! You said it! I bet they’ve never even manages to close up observe a fluid one!”

>Now, that’s not fair, some of them probably have, but they for sure have no idea how to deal with a rigid one. I mean, there’s a lot of skill required.

“I’ve seen how you wield it, I’m not going to deny it, but can we both agree that it’s harder for a spell to reach conclusion with the more absorbing once?”

>Oh, fine, but that just makes it all the more impressive when rigid is used with it in a way to bring both spells to a dimorphic zenith. Of which, I’m well aware you are the best at, I’ve seen it enough times to confirm!

“Ain’t got a clue! But then he’s like “Aw shucks, was just fun ta’ watch you work when mah’ legs got tired.” And everyone just choked!”

>Huh. Weird, you think they’re trying not to laugh? He is bigger than you, maybe it accidentally came off as patronizing.

“Ah’ guess, but he’d never do that.”

Well, this Spike is edgier than how he used to be, but it would make more sense for him to be more afraid of his impending/inevitable death.
Preferably not to the extent that Silver Spoon did/is doing.

>>29589069
Well

One way out is that Spike isn;t dead yet.

He's smcaked into the ground, but still barely alive, and he comes to in an aqful, awful state.

And then it REALLY hits him

And he's terrified and cold

And alone

So so alone

We take established characters from the official canon or whatever and then base our interpretation with the "official" traits and kick them seven ways to sunday. That's how we into characters

Taking a character that we have seen exactly 1 (one) picture with nothing alluding to what they do and how they look at all, not even fanon, and making things up on the fly just ain't kosher

We peel off after we've seen the canon stuff, not way before.

>>29589939
>What 'fore knowledge' do I need?

I don't know, anything about the character at all? We might want to actually use his canon personality here, he could be interesting.

That said, I don't know why you don't just use a different concept, if you know it's not connected to him, is likely not going to act like him at all, isn't going to have his history or plotline, and we don't even know what his powers are capable of, why use Storm King at all? Why not just... make up a character? You already did that with the OC he's talking to, so it's not like it's a problem. Just make something up, Schmoe has some nice artwork to give an idea.

>>29589982
>kick them seven ways to sunday
Yeah, I noticed that. Which is why telling me to wait for more info comes across as ridiculous. The only info I'm really interested in is the land he's currently ruling over and his power set. I can guess his personality.

>>29590214
>anything about the character at all
He's an evil king that wants to gather the 7 dragon emeralds into one piece in order to make himself the Shaman-Kage. There.
And judging by the action figure where he's wielding a scepter, not to mention his name/title, storm based magic isn't out of the question.

>why use Storm King at all
Because I want to use the Storm King.
This thread might as well be composed of OCs if you're asking that.
And the OC will do something else.
Other than the one setup post to show SK exists, how soon I'll use them (in canon) depends on when this arc ends and if there's a good enough jumping point.

>>29590413
>Because I want to use the Storm King.

No you don't, you want to use a bipedal guy who's obsessed with souls, has a magic ability to see across continents with a giant crystal, has a lacky who he speaks to on equal terms, has something called a "Shard Spy" and says stuff like "May the Runes light your path". None of this so far is The Storm King.

What, do you just want the design?

>This thread might as well be composed of OCs if you're asking that.

Or this thread might as well be composed of villains who started with their canon selves and through events maybe went down other paths but ultimately never lost the basis of what they were.

I get wanting to show SK exists, but you're not, you're showing someone named Storm King who's going to be waayyyy different from canon.

>>29590413

I'm just throwing in my two cents, I think you're jumping the gun, but do what you like. However, I would suggest posting everything with a CD until you get a full green light on it, because if you flop it we'll drop it.

>>29590413
What kind of logic is that? "You guys want to use the canon as a basis and then grow eventually? Why don't you just make everything OC'S!"

>And the OC will do something else
Fantastic... this explains why you're not also using the OC in place of what is essentially a placeholder name because? Shoot, call him "The Thunder King" and we'd never be able to tell. Where's Gruber or Tempest Shadow? Why not use them instead of an OC, by your logic?

Honestly, I don't like arguing, this is just all very confusing. Just tell us why it's important to use the Storm King now instead of maybe including the real version and his plot line later, that'd be a big help. We like basing off of canon and growing from there, but that base seed is still the same. That said, a good idea is a good idea, we'll hear you out.

Not sure if either of you two were going to jump in on this, but-
>Daw
"Fizzle'"
~~~~

>I'll fuckin' kill you!

The Dragon danced around Daw's blades with troubling ease. The mare's wild swings of her specially created sword never even came close to the cocky dragon's head, or anything else of his for that matter. He never even lost his footing for a second as he effortlessly slid underneath every swipe.

"Not like that, you won't. Please, I've been dodging some goddamn superpunches for ages now, you think your flabby ass has any chance of actually touching me?"

She let out a muffled screech at his mocking words, intensifying her attacks with even more wild strokes. He wasn't wrong, she was a bit chunkier than she had been a year ago. No matter how much she denied it, she had been lazing about more often recently, she hadn't been training or working all day like she had back when she still sailed the seas. She wasn't at the best she'd ever been, not by a long shot. She didn't care.

"Even if you did, you think it would matter? You can't hurt me."

Her sword was battered away from it's course towards his long neck when his claws ignited again, taking on that strange red energy they had before and sending sparks flying when they connected with the steel of her blade.

"See? You're nothing here. You're way out of your league."

He no longer dodged, content to just strike by moving his claw along to deflect even the most sure of attacks. Her own strokes began to slow as her fury drained her, while his only grew even quicker and more accurate.

>Let's see if you feel that when I put your fuckin' skull on my mast! I'm gonna put a load of seed in your damn eye socket!

He laughed, an eyebrow jutting up as he blocked another shot.

"Seeds? I don't get it, this some kinda pirate thing?"

>It's for the birds, you dumbass!

He hesitated, as if to consider what she had just said and think about it, and she was sure she had him.

"...You lost me."

1/4

>>29590606

She didn't bother to hide her screech of frustration when he lazily caught her blade with his bare claws, and held it without a care.

>Easy, the birds are gonna come, leave something behind...

He let out a sudden scream as hos body lit up with a shock of electricity, body convulsing from the sudden power flowing though it with enough charge to show his skeleton.

>And that way all the world can see what a shithead you were!

He released his grip and stumbled back, but she would give no quarter. Recklessly, she charged right into him, blade poised straight for his dragon heart.

>...Gotta be fuckin' kidding me.

Time slowed down as she sailed over where he had been just a second ago and found herself flying through open air that had used to contain a whole lot more dragon, and a lot less green fire.

"Dumbass!"

The shapeshifting magic returned him to full size just as she passed by, and just in time to allow the momentum of his raising claw to collide right with her unprotected belly. She could do nothing as she was propelled right up into the ceiling, and soon straight through beyond it. Her body was not a Changeling's Chitin, it was not dragon scales, she felt it when that already crumbling floor broke and she felt it hard when she went up, and painfully came back down on the floor above.

"That's what you get."

She groaned with pain as he rose up, powerful beats of his wings carrying him into the room with an almost unnatural grace.

"That's what you fucking get for fighting me."

She tried to crawl away, but just couldn't manage before his foot came down on her back, shoving her hard into the ground and pinning her there, unable to move another inch.

"I don't even know who you thought you were. I've been training to fight the Elements, the Princesses, someone who would actually give a half decent challenge, but you? You're just a fucking pegasus with a sword. You're not special."

>F-fuck you.

2/4

>>29590616

She hissed when his glowing claw neared her face, the heat radiating from it enough to cause her fur to begin to singe.

"I should probably give you a chance to leave, you know? Let you go, say 'come back when you're stronger', something cool like that. Wouldn't that be awesome? Then you come back, and I kill you that time, and go "I guess you weren't ready yet" or something. Wouldn't that be wicked?

She hissed, neck straining as the claw inched ever closer.

"...That's what she'd do, at least. She liked fighting like that, think she's got this whole kick about the future being even cooler than the present. She'd probably want me to, I can just see her now... I bet even Sunset would tell me to, Flash for sure would. I keep worrying he's going to come around the corner, and call me an asshole for doing this, but I can't help it. But Chitania, she'd have let you go by now. She'd do it, she'd let you go..."

She cried out when it touched her neck, and smoke rose up from her burning fur.

"But she's not around, is she? She can't talk, can she... because you assholes tried to kill her. So you know what? She would let you go... but I won't. I'm not giving you another shot at them, and I'm sure as fuck not giving you another shot at me. I'm going to get rid of you, now, just like that fucking changeling."

>W-which...

He paused, pulling back his claw just enough she could let another rasping breath slip out.

>W-which one was it?

"Do you not fucking get that it doesn't matter?"

>A-awww, come on lad, I'm just curious. It should be easy to figure out. Just tell me...

She suddenly shifted, and his eyes went wide.

>Did they have any balls?

The heat from his claws went out, and his hold on her became too unsteady to keep.

>Or would you even recognize them if you saw them?

3/4

>>29590623

He stumbled off her, claws reaching down and clutching just beneath his abdomen. Down where a knife was plainly visible. Or at least, the hilt of a knife.

>They look like that, in case you were wondering.

Shaking, horrified eyes flicked up to her, and back down. Back and forth between his grievous wound, and the mare who shakily rose and picked up her lost sword. After several shaking moments and shuddering breaths, he finally croaked out a squeak of a response.

"Okay... first off, they're lower... they're much, much lower, and I'm glad you don't know that.

Magic runes danced on the length of her sword as she finally stood, and faced him with cold eyes, and an even colder frown.

"Second off... now?"

She held out her blade, and prepared.

"Now I'm fucking pissed."

She still wasn't ready when green flames consumed his entire being.

"NOW YOU BURN!"

All she could do was stare as he charged.

>...well shit.

"BURN!"

“Literally. I’m lucky as hell a pegasus was doing night patrols near my window, or I’d probably be repairing the street beneath my castle again.

>Celestia not let you in with her?

“She’s stargazing on her balcony with Luna and didn’t want me to ruin sister time.”

>Understandable. Twilight won’t let you in?

“She said the room might be contaminated.”

>With something dangerous or something that she’s working on?

“Yes.”

>Figures. Can’t crash with Spitfire?

“She has a cot, no room for two.”

>Spike a no go?

“I think he still sleeps in a glorified basket.”

>Hate ta’ say it, but Chrysalis won’t let you crash with her?

“She said I can’t see it until it’s perfect.”

>Ah.

“This a problem?”

>Guess not.

“Thanks.”

In the silence that followed, they almost fell asleep. Almost.

>Shiny?

“Yeah?”

>Did you go to see all those guys before you came to me?

“…no.”

>Oh…

A much shorter silence followed.

>…Goodnight, Shiny.

“Goodnight, AJ.”

Followed soon by both falling asleep, a smile on their faces.

Not much different from many of the characters used here, then. Something about 'kicked seven days from monday' or something.

Nice job spinning what I said into that.

Actually here's the thing

Everyone has a go at the shows, we all watch em, we see the characters involved, so on and so forth, anyone who hasn't wtahced it by the time it's aired is on them.

So we know what we got character-wise, and so we crowbar it repeatedly in the face in order to crowbar it into the thread.

Everyone who's not a DWYETS knows what the character is and why and how it is like it is in the thread.

So when we DO get to know and love the Storm King, dontcha think we won't go "Hey this possible use of Storm King has waaaay more humour/drama/character growth potential/tension than what we've got in the thread right now"

And we'll be stuck with what you created cos you jumped the gun on the whole character and went "OK THIS IS THE STORM KING ANY OTHER USES OF THE STORM KING ARE FORFEIT"

>AUJ
“???”
~~~~

>This ain’t right.

The Applejack from another dimension was not having a good time. Her aching hooves still twitched, impatiently stamping with irritation every few seconds that passed.

>Ah’ should be fixing this mess, not waiting for them to get it done.

She’d paced the entire castle a dozen times over, back and forth through the halls until she’d mapped out every single bit of architecture. By now if she’d been struck blind she still could have easily found the little filly’s room, and in record time at that. She’d found everything that need be found, and was left with little to do.

It was driving her up a wall.

>This place is falling apart at the seams.

She kicked a wall, fairly certain that a ceiling tile would fall loose with the barest of efforts. That there was nobody around to watch her blush with embarrassment was something she found herself thankful for.

“Excuse me.”

This is why she couldn’t have nice things.

>…Twilight.

The other mare held a respectful nod to her as she approached. Normally a courtesy, so in this world it suddenly took on the feeling of a knife wielding maniac approaching her.

“I was wondering if you’d like to talk a bit.”

>If it’s to how you can start putting your science to good use, Ah’ve got explanations for days.

“It’s not, I’m afraid.”

>Then you’re wasting both our time.

Twilight took it in stride, which brought up at least a little bit of respect in her. It was far better than the alternative, quite a lot of pity for someone who used to have some semblance of a spine, and wouldn’t take that from her.

“Maybe I am, but let’s just say it’s a learning experience. My other side likes to learn, doesn’t she?”

>Suppose she does, on occasion. Wouldn’t know what she’s into these days, but if Ah’ know her, she’s toiling away studying something.

1/5

>>29596265

The way the purple mare cleared her throat was polite, even if it sounded a bit like a curse beneath her breath.

“Yes, well, I’m actually not here to talk about your current state of friendship with my doppelgänger.”

>Then you’re a right shit Princess of Friendship, aren’t you?

The throat clear that time was far less polite. The unmarelike words under her breath were also quite less subtle.

“We’ll see, time will tell and all. But if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to talk about you.”

>Ah’m like that ninny in the office, but better. Everything you know about me up till Ah’ gained some wings is fact. There, up to speed.

“Thank you, but I knew that.”

>Seeing how much you don’t know Ah’ have to double check and make sure you understand the basics these days.

Applejack knew, deep down, that enjoying the way she looked ready to start crying blood was cruel. She’d stopped caring before the conversation had even begun.

“Alright, since we’re going to be difficult-“

>Difficult? You’re as easy as tossing an apple into a barrel from three paces.

“Ahem. Since you’re going to be difficult, I’ll cut to the chase. How are you so powerful?”

The orange princess thought the smile would never leave her face. She was wrong.

>Now, why would you need to know a thing like that?

“Oh, I don’t know, it’s just that your little stunt with Chrysalis exhibited a level of magic that, I’m going to be generous here, is a bit much for the Applejack I know. And, if I’m not mistaken, you should be for all intents and purposes be that Applejack. So you understand my disconnect, right? What’s the X factor that let’s you pull off something that would be a massive challenge for me, let alone a mare who’s had their magic a fraction of my life.”

2/5

>>29596276

A staredown commenced, immovable stone glare versus passive seeming frown that was anything but. They both let the clock tick away, content to see who would break first, or what would break first.

>Ah’ don’t reckon Ah’ have ta’ tell you that.

Faces were currently the favorite for bidding.

“You don’t have to, but I would very much appreciate it.”

>Ah’ would appreciate you not asking. Looks like one of us has to be the rude one. Ah’ll take one for the team.

“I really need to insist.”

>Or what, you’ll call your little buggy friend?

“I might.”

Coming in with the upset, it was the orange mare’s flat stare that broke first, and split into a deep frown.

“Not to imply I’d ever have her enter your mind, or steal information, or control you. It’s more I have a very low regard for your impulse control, Alterjack. I have the feeling that if she hung around enough, was ‘her’ enough around you, you’d break fairly quickly. I wonder how many times it’ll take before I figure it out?”

>Don’t seem much like a princess thing to do, letting a friend of theirs get their head busted just for an experiment.

“If that’s what you think I need to make a correction here.”

>And what is that?

Twilight leaned in nice and close, making as certain as she could that this wouldn’t be missed.

“You and me aren’t friends.”

It wasn’t.

>…Little cocky, aren’t you?

3/5

>>29596282

“Alterjack? I’m going to lead by example here, just like a real princess would. That moment you had, when she broke out of your Ninth Level sealing? That little bit of jump you had when she easily destroyed something you planned to keep her away a century?... That was nothing compared to what she could really do, if she got into it. The only reason she didn’t go at you is because she thought you were Applejack, being controlled. Imagine what she would have done, if she had known. To give you an idea… it’s what I’d do, if someone ever actually tried to hurt one of my friends like that.”

They both let that sink in, each for different reasons.

>….Can Ah’ let you in on a little secret, Twilight?

“Sharing is the first step to opening up to each other.”

>Ain’t that the truth. And the truth is… Ah’m glad my Twilight never tried to talk to me like you do.

“And why’s that?”

>Can’t share that secret with you. That one’s for my friends.

Either to mock her, to hint at something, or just because she could, Applejack raised up her hoof, and tapped the apple emblem on her chest.

>Ah’ don’t like this world. Ya’ spread out too much power, things don’t get done fast enough for my liking, half the time it looks like you don’t know what you’re doing, but tell you what. If you’re willing to step up and take on all that yourself, if you’re willing to be the one who actually takes charge, to push down anyone who would get in your way with their meandering about and lollygagging, if you’re wiling to actually take charge of this place and get things done, Ah’ll be more than happy to tell you exactly how Ah’ pulled it off, and you can too. But this isn’t something Ah’m giving out to someone without the guts to pull it off… you willing to tell your friends off, if they’re not serving to make Equestria better?

“No. I’d help them to be better. That’s what a friend does.”

4/5

>>29596289

There hadn’t been any hesitation, none at all. There wasn’t any question left either.

>…Fair enough. Have a good day, Twilight.

She reached up as if to tilt her hat, before she realized it wasn’t even there. Giving up, she turned her tail, and began to walk off.

“Do they like you?”

Applejack paused, just long enough to hear her out.

“Your friends back home, do they still like you, anymore? Are they even still your friends?”

>…they understand. If not, they ain’t very good friends, are they?

She wouldn’t hear a rebuttal, and tried to walk off again, only to stumble mid step.

“Are you alright?”

She shook it off, straightened her spine, and did her very best to look as powerful as ever. She succeeded.

>It gets tiring making the world a better place all the time all by yourself, and not just when a monster of the year needs beaten… guess you wouldn’t know about that.

Without a chance for another word, she was gone.

“No, I guess I wouldn’t… I never have do it alone.”

“Actually? Yes. We do not know what this ‘hangover’ thing is supposed to be but we’ve experienced none of it!”

“None!”

>That’ll do it, Ah’ reckon.

“We did have a most wonderful time with some others, though. They have such wonderful things to share! Many a strange plant to be had, and such a funny feeling afterwords! Tis truly a fun way to spend the day, we’re surprised we had no such common luxuries in our time.”

"???"
~~~

He felt ugly.

He didn't need a single reflection to know he looked hideous, the nerves so carefully preserved around his face could still feel the touch of his own skin brushing up against it every step he took. The surreal disconnect of knowing that part of him was just gone, yet he never felt so much as a twinge of pain, made this dream like situation feel even less real. Nothing about this, about his whole life, had felt real for a long time now.

The same mixture of technology and magic beneath his skin had protected him, and now shielded him from the pain of his face being torn apart, but it could do very little to stop the churning of his organs, very much still real, beneath them. The beat of his heart was natural, the expanding of his lungs were real, everything beneath the surface was both fake and every bit as it should be. He could not decide which he would prefer, to be real but with the weight that pressed tightly against his insides, or to be fake and move without care. Both seemed so very tempting for reasons so very different.

>...Analyze section: brain. Check for any damages.

His eyes lit up with that magic stored just beneath the surface, the same magic that fueled him, that made him able to do things no pony could, or maybe even should, ever have been able to accomplish. That magic danced behind his sight, made his disfigured face glow with it's strange power, and then went still.

A simple readout, nothing more. No voices, he'd never a use for them, no announcement to the world, nothing more than a few letters that only he could ever see.

Condition, green. That's all it said.

Simple words that meant the world to him.

>Good... good.

His mind was in tact.

He was whole.

1/3

>>29598434

Despite the damage, despite what had happened, his mind remained in tact. Just as his mind had survived these horrid changes to his body, to failures and shifts that took away so much he barely remembered which parts of him were even the original anymore. He'd changed so much, but his mind had remained.

That was all that mattered.

>...Analyze, how long will it take to repair facial tissue?

Some numbers popped up, readouts and timestamps and figures that he could bring himself to care very little about. The information told of so many things, but all he cared for came at the very end of it all, with very simple numbers.

>Too long.

He was going to look horrid for a while, but it would not deter him. He had a place to be, a pony he needed to see, and someone he needed to keep safe. He had someone waiting for him, and he would not keep her waiting.

>Someone else might be out there. I need to make sure she...

His heart throbbed again when he remembered her.

>Chitania...

The Titan, unstoppable, unbeatable, invincible, lying on the ground, spewing that strange substance. He had little doubt in his mind she would be tended to, Sunset was nothing if not capable of fixing the impossible, he was proof of that. Even so, even with the knowledge of what she was, and what she would become, he could not shake that image.

None of them were truly immortal, no matter how great.

None.

>...That's why...

He looked down to the blade again, the one he had driven right into the chest of the dragon that had brought such pain to his life.

>That's why they need me...

The dragon who he saw in his mind with such clarity, no matter how much he wished it would blur. His hoof, something that should have held stability far greater than any other pony alive, shook.

He knew why when he saw that face in freefall, flowing through the sky.

>I'm sorry.

2/4

>>29598444

His inner thoughts screamed had nothing to apologize for, he could hear his own voice reminding him of the face that been ripped apart by a blast meant to shoot him dead, he knew fully well it was one or the other.

He still felt that twisting pain when he remembered the bright, helpful little dragon he'd seen in the courtroom of a time that felt an eternity ago, when he'd helped a princess back to her hooves.

It hit him, right there. He would never see that dragon again. It was over. He was gone.

He had been the one to do it.

>I wonder if she'll hate me.

The question was barely a question at all. The idea anyone would ever forgive him for what he'd done ludicrous, but he strained to think of the expression that would be on that princesses face, what she would feel, what she would think, when she realized the monster she had created had been the one to snuff out her most faithful follower.

What would she think of him.

>Why does it matter? I can't worry about her. I need to think about...

He had chosen his side, and it was square opposite of her. He had chosen his path, it lead him away from her. He had chosen who to protect, and it most certainly was not her.

It was the only unicorn who deserved his life, and his service.

The only changeling Queen who was worth dying for.

The only ones he would ever call his friends.

>...I'll protect you all.

"Yeah, that's going to be a real challenge when you're currently in about six thousand pieces from here to Fillydelphia."

He would never stop cursing himself, his foolishness, for the rest of time.

"Now, in case you're wondering why it hasn't happened already, wellllll, I need to get some information, this is your chance to skirt meeting up with my good friend here on a more personal level."

3/4

>>29598453

He would never stop being angry at himself for ever letting his guard down, even for a moment, and letting someone sneak up behind him.

"Now, why don't you turn around nice and slow, and we can have a chat."

He would never let this moment be forgotten.

"...No way. No, way! It's you! It's actually you! Okay, wow, I thought when they said you were there, it was just some other guy named Flash, not actually... Wow, you look even uglier than the last time I saw you!"

Not even after he finished walking over the broken body he was about to create.

>...Diamond Tiara, nice to see you again.

Time for a rematch.

>Living Powder Keg filly, strapped for war against CHITANIA
>learns this guy just killed her friend

My name is Diamond Tiara, you killed my Draco, prepare to die.

>>29598461
I am concerned.

He just resolved to kill another kid. Like... that's what Spike was and DT is. Flash Sentry officially signed his new CHILDKILLER trait with 'so be it'.

>>29598764
Kind of hard to argue his logic when they just broke into his house and are trying to kill him. I mean, DT shorted him out and blew him up on an airship once, and if he didn't have some subdermal armor Spike would have blown his fucking head off.

It's like, yeah, they're kids, but then it's also "These 'kids' keep trying to kill me and I have no face now." He didn't even try to kill Spike originally, he was just trying to bruise him, the dialog even spelled that out. Then Spike tried to char broil him.

>>29598764
You act like war is pretty.

>>29598461
>little filly with explosives and unwieldy, heavy weapon trying to take on a superhuman cyborg speedster in an enclosed space
Yeah. Cool. This will be over quickly.

>>29598796
I kind of agree with >>29598764, but I can understand he's not rationalizing it as 'He's a child killer now and that's A-okay', he's mentally telling himself he has to do this to actually protect someone. He obviously was very bothered by doing that to Spike, and I LOVED the subtle touch where he had to remind himself he's still 'human' deep down, that was just plain brilliant, but I hope that in the confrontation we see more of that and don't just consider it done.

>>29598802
Well, yeah, most of the 'war' both sides have seen so far haven't exactly been bloodbaths. Depending on if PJ's dead too or not, Spike would literally be the first casualty.
