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. Plus late night pink antics.

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 189! And we're finally at the end of the line!

>Twilight? Applejack said you've been in your lab for more than an hour and I'm supposed to be worried. I told her that whole 'Twilight is a dangerous fanatic shut in' thing was mostly just what the ugly folks say, but she insisted, so I'm just going to keep talking and pretend I'm having a strong conversation with you because the cameras work, but the audio doesn't. Why don't we call this one even and I get back to... Twilight?

>I've also been strangely finding Fizzle to be a fun character and that worries me.

I am about to say the most controversial thing I've ever said in this thread, and I don't even care.

Fizzle is a more interesting and more entertaining character than Spike has been in a long, loooong time. If he had just a bit more soft character moments and some more funny stories, legit, I would put him near Shiny levels for how damn good a character he's been. Fizzle effectively stole the miniboss show HARD, and it was only that extremely interesting showing with seven and Spike that kept Sunset ahead of him.

This. I've thought the same since... Its been awhile, leave it at that.

Sweet dreams,
>>
>>29772737
Well that happens if the guy gets killed off at the onset of the arc...
>>
So, is Sunset not really punching into the Heaven Zone? She's just having a second attempt at diddling with the Hivemind?

Cos if that's really the case then....

Well shit it sounds kinda underwhelming
>>
When?
>>
>>29773429
No, she's opening up the Hivemind to use its power to fight heaven.

Supernatural afterlife vs supernatural afterlife.

what, she wasn't just gonna punch it really hard
>>
>>29773729
What if the Hivemend doesn't consent tho?
>>
>>29773737
You've read about Sunset since first appeared, haven't you? She's the embodiment of Crazy Prepared, You Activated My Trap Card and My MagiTek Is 10 Years Ahead of Yours.

Nearly all the Queens loved Chitty, and they very likely realize what is at stake. They eenied Chrysalis because she started being soft. Chitty never chanhed. And even if they deny her, It doesn't matter. Suet Like has a plan for that too.

‘Yeah, I like hanging out, but we’re not having friendship problems.’

“Well, I am the princess of friendship.”

‘Those wings make you look fat.’

>I just wanted to know, what’s the best way to help someone see when they’re in an unhealthy relationship?

“It would be wise not to scare them as they could react badly to it and if they cut you off that would break off future questioning and make them more likely to ignore help from others. I’d say ease into it and then help them see it piece by piece.”

‘Call the one being an asshole a jerk and then punch them really hard.’

>Oh.

“Dash! That’s terrible! You’re being completely wrongheaded about this!”

‘Hey! You’re the one skitterhoofing around the problem, possibly letting it get to the point something terrible happens!’

That's... it, pretty much. We MIGHT split the Final Battle into two parts now that we have a bit more breathing room to flesh out some of the fun buts, but Aliens and Homage both won't be overly long. Speaking of, LKA? Were you planning to get the invade since Kuddler wanted the Homage?

Spike had

And that's it.

It's not that Fizzle is better per-say, more that he wasn't used for a surprise twist moment.

That aside, I will give credit where it is due, the A-team and Villain-team have had wonderful characterization, some of the best action scenes in the series, and the tension was never higher then when everyone was getting picked off. Let's hope the ending is still as fun and shocking, and can pull some punch despite the lack of deaths.

So.... original question still hasn't been asnwered

Where's 13 in all of this?
>>
>>29781083
She's probably doing something important, of course, and will spring up when convenient.
>>
>>29781083
It is obvious that she doesn't want to be found. The question is whether she made that happen on her own accord, or if Sunset has yet another bsck-up plan involving her...
>>
>>29781112
>>29781127
I'm more puzzled by how she's been completely forgotten in all this

Not once did Chitania even mention or allude to her name.... when she was lucid
>>
>>29781129
>I'm more puzzled by how she's been completely forgotten

Forgotten, or deliberately purged from their memories? Because let's be honest. 13 could wreck the A-Team... but Chitty & Sunny have nothing to oppose her power either. She could change the whole game if she wanted.
>>
>>29781157
A-Team never made it inside, they've been mind fucked this whole time in a shared hypno hallucination. Sunset has been booping them all is succession while they stand there drooling like brain dead halfwits
>>
>>29780709
Everything is right again
>>
>>29781083
Guys, you are all forgetting that Sunset was waiting for somebody inside of the glowing room comma that's why 7 that his guard down, he thought that she was speaking kindly to him.

But Sunset was shocked that he was in there at all, she clearly isn't expecting 13 to be around, I'm guessing that 13 decided she didn't want any part of this,. Probably said " I love you but I can't watch you kill yourself" or something.

She's not missing, sunset was clearly shocked she was there when it was 7, but where did she go?
>>
>>29781826
>13 was off in Manehattan or some place, sitting in a coffee-bar quietly drinking a latte in her hoof-hole wondering where it all went wrong.
>>
>>29781843
If she has a dumpster fire when she sees one

>>29781410
How do you explain the giant dragon outside?
>>
>>29782905
The towers are amplification structures broadcasting the mind fuckery. Thus every one believes its happening, and if everyone believes its true, it is.
>>
>>29783126
Then how does AJ and AUJ come into this
>>
>>29783224
Dude, Im going to run out of shit to pull out of my ass soon, umm... AUJ is immune because she's on a slightly different mental wavelength cause other universe thus shell see the truth, and since AJ is going after her shell uncover the truth too. Symbolism things and such.
>>
>>29781129
...treason.

13 technically committed TREASON by hanging out with her.

Of course she isn't going to say her name, Sunset didn't even dare say her name directly, because she didn't want anyone to know 13 committed TREASON. Even if 13 didn't say she wanted to stay, Chitty would have made her go.

>>29783552
KKA is handling Aliens Attack. Thank god he left his email before the April-Fool-fuckery so I could reach him before this got too bad. It was unfortunate, but there was a very personal moment and a reveal in it that no matter how I did it, I just didn't feel did either justice. It's a biiiig moment, and I didn't want to mess it up, mostly because after re-reading what I'd done it felt really thin. After some talking he was nice enough to take over for it and he liked my idea of what to do with a certain internal thought process, but as the Silver Spoon probably made obvious, I'm still learning that one, and didn't want to try cutting my teeth on a very important character moment.

~~~~

An old creature, dressed in tattered robes of red and gold, stands before a giant door of oak.
It's head tilts a bit, apparently having heard your steps, and it turns to face you, eyes of faded teal shimmering from beneath its hood.

>Ah... so another has come to this forsaken land. Then you've heard it, haven't you? The tale of how things came to be.

The old creature's voice comes out in a melodious drone, like a worn, treasured musicbox.

>So long ago, there was a mare who thought to open the gates to Heaven; who thought to tear the gods from their thrones and usher in a new era.

A laugh escapes it; rueful and mocking.

>But she'd no idea what terror she loosed. The gates of Heaven did part. But with it, the stars fell from the sky. Yes. The machines were upon us like lightning from Heaven.
>From beyond. Chaos and destruction reigned in their wake, their masters watching from above in glittering shells that hung in the sky like stars.
>So many fought to drive them back. The girl and her faithful allies... The princesses of old and their guards...
>But, in the end, all they could do was seal the menace away... Many defenders and innocents being sealed away with it.

Angling its head, teal eyes settle on the oak door.

>Their masters caged, what few machines that remained free scattered across the land and continued their aimless destruction.
>And yet their numbers continue to grow... For their masters still live; still send them between tears that scar this world.
>Yes. The war raged on... to this very day. And so many have lost themselves to it...

>But the machines are relentless and numerous; their metal strong and their hearts unyielding.
>So he assimilates his kills, growing stronger in body... yet weaker in mind....

>The Pale Dragon: a crass, brash creature whose loyalty to his allies is boundless like the hoard of the great dragon Torch.
>Yet even in his bloodlusted madness, he stalks the lands and listens intently for the cries of his friends.
>When he hears it, he rushes forth. A chance to kill, yet also a chance to save and uphold the promises he made so long ago.

>The Titan: aloof, blunt... but behind that powerful chitin lies the heart of a Queen, caring and stern like a mother...
>With the sundering of Heaven's gates, her power had grown... And yet...

The creature shakes its head and laughs again.

>Ah, but perhaps now is not the time to reminisce...

The door lights up with the tell tale signs of telekenesis and slowly creaks open, light streaming in in a powerful torrent.

>Go to the heart of this land and reach deep within the earth.

“Art thou sure t’was Twilight?”

>Not really, I suppose it could have been any of the six. She just seems the most likely, Fluttershy or Rarity would be too shy and prim to act like that respectively, and Rainbow Dash and Pinkie are out for a bit.

“Could it not have been Applejack?”

>Not unless she suddenly bolted from the meeting with the griffons.

“…Is there a chance?”

>Sister? That’s absurd. Applejack does many things, but shirking her duties is not one of them. She’s not a perfect princess, but she’s not going to just up and run away from her responsibility, and that is her responsibility, nothing less.

“Suppose thou speaks truth.”

“Just a moment.”

>Yes, just really quick to make sure everything is going well.

“We won’t even open the door.”

>Obviously. We trust her to keep this personal.

“Also, running is not necessary.”

~~~~

(ENTRAPMENT! ENTRAPPPPPMEENNNNT!)

Dash would later tell herself that she didn't need hearing in that ear anyway, it was the only subtle comfort she could find in all of this.

>Do you actually know what that means?

(It means there's a trap involved and not the sexy kind!)

>That's... sort of true?

It was good she found something, since sanity clearly wasn't on the menu.

(You guys totally squirrled us!)

{Teeeccchnicallyyyy... can I cut in here?}

The elder griffon who had spoken before gave his thumbs up and his most confident strangled gurgle in acceptance.

{Awesome. Technically you still invaded us and took us over, sooo-}

(We didn't invade shit, we came in peace! We had a flag!)

{Flag of war.}

(GOOD KIND!)

(I worked really hard on that!)

{Yeah, well... you still took us over, so that's that.}

(We didn't want to! She made us!)

Pinkie was normally very good at being seen. But every once in a while, she wished she could turn invisible. This was very much that time.

"Teeecchhhnniiicallyyyy I told you to save Dashie."

(And we could do that without beating them, how!?)

She had an answer to that, no matter what anyone would say about it. She would get around to saying that the absolute moment that her brain stopped making sounds suspiciously similar to warnings that go off before a bomb explodes.

Any minute now.

“Friendship?”

Nailed it.

{We didn’t want to be their friends!}

Her brain had failed her again, for the last time.

“Dashie?”

Much as Dash’s face must have failed her, that was the only explanation why she kept hitting it.

>I’ve got nothing.

“You’ve gotta have something here!”

>I’m just making sure Gilda doesn’t strangle that guy to death.

Cue another gurgled gaggle from the elder griffon currently beneath angry talons.

“How are you going to stop her?”

>…stop her?

That was not a happy choke, if ever one did exist at all.

{Wellll? Anything else?}

>>29785528

Changelings were known far and wide for their improvisation skills, as both of the ponies who had visited their improv night could attest. This should have made thinking on their hooves as easy as pie.

(Well…I mean…)

Pity not a one of them knew how to bake.

(Uh… wow, this is bad.)

{Too late! We are conquered and now your vassal state, so you’d better get to dealing with this.}

(..any, uh… any rebellion here? Dissention? Someone saying no to being changeling territory now?... anyone?)

Not a single griffon said a word. Not a one. A lot of them smiled and one of them blew a little party favor, but not a word.

(Really? You’re okay with being like… concubines or something?)

{FACT!}

Cried a mildly attractive griffon in the back.

{Concubines are historically placed in upper class living accommodations in order to prevent the need for travel for the wealthy class into less than desirable areas.}

{FACT!}

Cried another, who was mildly more attractive.

{They often give birth to bastard children who gain better learning opportunities and are ushered on to middle of the road political areas in order to both bolster the wealthy elites influence and provide incentive to keep the affair secret, ensuring that their parent is taken care of well into old age.}

{FACT!

Cried a male one, who’s attractiveness was so mild he would never find love except in the salsa isle.

{I can’t get pregnant!}

That one got applause for some reason.

(Uh… we uh… say, is there historical precedent for small conquering armies to get a lordship or nobility or just higher recognition or something?)

(In literally every other army except changelings, who are always just ‘Queen and then her subjects’.)

(…You know, I know technically we just got screwed over today, but I suddenly feel like that weight has been on me my whole life.)

{WELL!}

2/?
>>
>>29785539

The griffon at the front clapped his talons together before bowing. One by one, every single griffon followed.

{Now’s the part where you official take us over… masters-}

‘ARE YOU SERRIIOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUS!’

The thoroughly strangled and most likely not dead body of the elder griffon was hurled into the nearest crap shack, easily collapsing it as any stiff breeze could. The griffon who ‘owned’ it could easily be identified in the crowd by her lackadaisical shrug and her preening of her feathers.

‘ARE! YOU! ALL! SERIOUS!?’

She stomped forwards, face red and steam rolling out of her beak.

‘I CAN’T BELIE-cut that shit out I’m talking here!’

The changeling let the magic on his horn die.

(Another day, jiggling catbutt… another day…)

But the feeling inside of him never would.

‘Ahem… I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ASSHOLES WOULD SERIOUSLY JUST GIVE UP LIKE THIS! You’d seriously let them just… own this place! Our home! Our land! Our-‘

{Unbelievably shitty abode with no redeeming features and architecture held up by… well, I guess I was being literal with the first three words.}

The lack or argument to that solidified Dash’s resolve to dive into a tub full of antiseptic when she got home and never ever leave. She’d been punched through that shit.

Possibly literally.

{Yeah, Gil. What are you worried about? We’ve sucked ever since Gilbert died-)

‘GUTO!’

{Who?}

{Point is, we’ve always been terrible ever since we lost the Idol of Boreas, and we’re always going to be terrible. The rest of the griffons don’t even want us or acknowledge us, we’re that terrible.}

>Wait, lost the what now?

{It’s just easier if we let them handle rebuilding it, it would be too hard to do it on our own.}

‘They could literally use us as slaves!’

Getting laughed off at the very real possibility was not a normal reaction, but so far they’d found exactly nothing normal about any of this.

3/?
>>
>>29785543

{Gilllll, come on. They’re friends with the ponies! Those losers! You really think they’re gonna look bad by whipping us in chains or something?}

{Yeah, pacifying a population is way easier if you make their lives better.}

{Yep!}

‘Aren’t you in the least bit worried they’re going to rip apart your friends-‘

The uproarious laughter to the thought of being literally disemboweled by horrifying black bug monsters was also not normal, but maybe it was someone’s fetish.

‘Right, no friends, right…’

“Wait hold on, you guys lost an idol or something and that’s why you all let this place go to cookiedough?”

>Okay I don’t want to skip past that, but I also really don’t want to skip past the ‘no friends’ thing. Are you guys literally not friends with each other?’

{NO!}

It had come from all of them at once in perfect harmony, somehow. Even if they weren’t friends, nobody was missing choir night, it seemed.

>…Is that not weird to you?

“Is the concept of just being friends really that alien to not-ponies?”

>Are we racist for asking that?

“This is making my head carousel.”

{Gilda, let’s face it. If we let them just take over, we win!}

{Who gives a shit what they do to some of us? They’ll probably enjoy it!}

{Let’s just accept defeat, kick back, and let them remake the place. Who knows? Maybe it’ll look pretty cool! All wicked and black and stuff.}

‘What about our culture and heritage-‘

This is the laughter that never ends.

‘What about the griffon kingdom-‘

It just went on and on with no friends.

‘REALLY!?’

When it was finally over, everyone relaxed. Literal conquering a bit ago, and they looked like a standard crowd at a fair, completely at ease.

>That’s bullshit!

Even when a fiery rainbow got all up in their beaks with the most furious nose-boop in all the land.

>>
>>29785546

>Bullshit bullshit bullshit, you guys don’t need a stupid idol to be great again! You don’t need some… what, statue? Whatever it was, you don’t need it to be as grand as you used to be! This place used to be amazing! It used to be awesome and huge and pretty, but then you just gave up because some onelost a hunk of whatever!?

{Technically it was a golden cup… wing… thing. And we didn’t lose it, Arimaspi stole it! In the middle of a thunderstorm, after a huge battle!}

>I don’t care if it was stolen on a bright and sunny day after a ticklefight on a giant Celestia’s ass!

{…I would care.}

“You could be awesome all by yourselves! You’ve just gotta belive in yourselves! Believe… in the magic inside!”

They believed there was something inside them when her hooves parted and a rainbow somehow appeared, alright. They just weren’t sure why it took so long to kick in.

‘We’re griffons, not losers! We’re not weedy little ponies who crumble at the first attack from a bunch of bugs!’

>You are really making this hard.

(I’m glad I shot you a bunch.}

‘WE’RE GRIFFONS! AND WE ARE NOT! DWEEBS!’

Her screech finally reached them, she felt. When she saw the first one take interest and soon the idea spread like wildfire, it was clear that something had gotten through. Something had finally lit a fire in them long since dormant and the new adventure had begun.

{…naaah-}

CRUNCH!

(WELL I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL BUT I SURE AM INSPIRED!)

Yakkistan would be sending them a noise complaint shortly from that changelings yell. It would be deemed valid, as would the assault charge from the broken bone sustained when a cyan hoof slammed down on the changelings chitinous one.

(YES! FELLOW CHANGELING! I AGREE!)

It was good his fellow ling caught on for camaraderie purposes, and for the sake of her own limb before a pink one could do a repeat of her friends actions, not so much for the hearing of anyone nearby.

5/?
>>
>>29785552

(Those words have moved us, your would be conquerors, and shown us the real power of the griffon spirit!)

(…what are we-)

She went face down with a smack, and was quickly replaced by the final one in the line.

(We now know that even if we were to take this land, we could not take your freedom of mind! You truly are a unique and brave and powerful species, worthy of recognition as our own!)

>Yeah! We ponies recognize your quick wits and abilities!

“And also your… a-amaaaazziinnggg scone skills. C-cuuulinary perfection!”

It hurt her so much to lie about a pastry. It hurt the griffon beside her who had made them even more, even if she only showed it through anger and violence. She had issues.

>We cannot recognize this conquest, in the name of Equestria! If you all were to formally rule them, then we would cut off all ties rather than be a part of such a noble species being under any rule but their own!

(BY JOVE!)

His monocle had fallen. Things were serious.

(We’d never risk such measures just for the chance to match wits as the griffons attempt to free themselves from our rule! It would not be worth the cost in life and in liberty!)

(NAY! With such might of the ponies and griffons together? We’d lose surely!)

(No seriously I don’t get-)

Smack thump she went.

(Thusified, we cannot allow rulism, and we declare the conquest null!)

The performers took their bows.

{WHAT!?}

{DAMN IT GILDA WHAT DID YOU DO!?}

{WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL!}

{YOU FUCKING DWEEEEBBBRRREEEEEEEE!}

At a gentle nudging from the Pegasus, which logically should have come before the very violent hoof stomping, but who was complaining beside his doctor, the changeling continued on.

(However… now that we know you’re smart, and capable, and wise… if you were open to an alliance with us…)

(We could sure use someone of your brilliance on our side!)

(And surely, there could be rates given that reflect how much we respect you!)

(…ohhhHHH! Now I get-)

6/?
>>
>>29785559

Smack goes the chitin

(I was on board I said-)

Smack goes the floor.

(Proceed)

(Yes, with our new alliance, the both of us could come together, and make Griffonstone great again! Welll?)

{…Huddle!}

Nobody actually huddled, they just sort of shrugged, flipped him off in gestures the hooven ones did not understand, called him all sorts of names, and more than one implied they were going to shove something in some orifice.

{Ahem… we accept. Any opposition?}

There was a lot, if the glares and death stares and occasional voodoo doll were any indication. But none anyone would actually say.

{Could’ve just done it the easy way, you know…}

{Just haaaddd to be a dick and cry about it.}

{But… fine. Whatever. Not like we cared anyway!}

The unofficial leader sighed, and after some rummaging in a sack nestled beneath a family of possums, he pulled out a rolled up parchment.

{Then… we are open to talks of a peace treaty, and alliance. We’ll only speak with your queen, nobody else, we’re super important!}

{YEAH!}

Again, that choir training had paid off.

{But after that… we’ll work together.}

(Wouldn’t have it any other way.)

The hoof-to-talon shake would have been awkward already if not for the mismatched limbs, but the smile on one face and deep scowl on the other put the opposition to a new level of absurd.

{Then… welcome, Changeling, to Griffonstone.

While there were smiles and cheers from one side, and grumpy huffing from the other, three who had forced so much slipped away.

(This is the start of a beautiful friendship.)

Everything was wonderful.

~~~~

>GILDA NO!

Or almost.

“I’m starting to think you have a problem.”

The instant they were out of sight, Gilda had returned to her default of finding the nearest thing that annoyed her and strangling it. That thing just happened to be Dash.

‘YOU ALMOST RUINED EVERYTHING, DWEEP-OOF!’

Dash was not taking that anymore.

>I!

7/9
>>
>>29785562

She smacked her right across the face with a hoof.

>JUST!

Then right in the gut with both hind legs.

>WANTED TO!

All four legs right to the back.

>APOLOGIZE!

And finally coming to her senses an instant before she could drop a heavy rock on the downed griffon.

>…ahem.

She looked embarrassed. She did not look sorry.

‘Really?”

The griffon did.

‘You really came all this way, tracked me down… just to say sorry?’

>…yeah.

‘…pfffftttahahAHAHAHH!’

That rock was back to being tempting again.

‘So let me get this straight, I bail on your ass when you start acting like a bitch, and instead of doing anything about it, I just left your dumb ass behind. So then you, after your life gets all fucked up, come down to say sorry to me, the one who knew Lightning Dust was hungry for your job and never even warned you? You’re saying sorry to me?’

Gears shifted in Dash’s mind. Gears she’d much rather have stayed dead, but alas.

>…well when you say it like that, it kind of makes me sound like a giant weenie.

“I was going to say another word, but that would trigger everybody. Every. Body.”

‘You loser… and after all that, after allllll that, you still came over, and helped my convince Griffonstone not to just up and bend over for the changelings? After I punched you through building after building? I really attacked you there! With weapons!’

Rainbow Dash, proud mare she was, suddenly felt like finding the nearest cone, putting it on her head, and returning to the corner she belonged in. There was no duncecap big enough to hide her shame.

‘You- you’re so fucking…ahahahah’

There was no earmuffs strong enough to block out the laughter that made her want to curl into a ball. She probably would have anyway if the griffon didn’t suddenly grab her shoulders and lean into her while she bawled out laughing.

‘AHahahahahah! Ahahahahahahhahahah…ahahahah!’

>>29785567

“This is good? This is… I don’t have the right wheel of feelings for this, I had to use mine as a bludgeon… this has been a very bad day.’

The one positive to the day was that at the end, the griffon was still smiling.

‘You’re too damn you, Dash.’

At some point, through madness or desperation, the pony smiled back too.

>Guess I’m just too…

‘Loyal.’

It felt more genuine, the longer it went on.

>…we cool?

Gilda held up a balled up talon.

‘We’re cool.’

Dash met it with a hoof bump.

“HUG ALREADY!

Then they hugged, because they’re not weenies about feelings like some dweebs they knew.

>I’m sorry, Gilda…

‘Me too.’

Pinkie joined in, because she had been through too much today not to get a hug, and they all relaxed.

The two ponies task had finally come to an end.

‘…so you had nothing to do with the changelings?’

>Nnnope.

‘Huh. Weird coincidence they came at the same time… but I guess strange stuff just happens around you guys.’

She separated, and with a friendly wave she rose up into the air.

‘I’ve got to make sure they don’t do anything stupid over there. You know how it is.’

>Yeah, we should probably be heading back… you’ll come visit later, right?

‘Just try and keep me away… Dashie.’

With that final wave from both parties, she vanished over the horizon, and the great weight that had held them down this entire trip finally lifted. They’d managed no broken bones, nobody had gone to war, and their friend was back. They’d succeeded,

>Today has been a fucking weird day.

‘Tell me about it.”

>You think anyone else had a day this weird?

“Dashie? Think about how many twists we had in the last hour.”

>So that’s a no?

“If anyone else had anywhere near as weird a day, I’m eating my own tail off.”

>Heh… let’s go home, Pinkie.

It was finally, finally over.

Time to go home at last.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

Titanic double-doors large enough for even an entire train to pass through slowly slid open, then slid towards each other again in an attempt to close shut. Over and over they slammed together, driven by machinery hidden within the walls. Yet the massive metal plates never touched, no matter how hard they tried. A massive obstruction was trapped in the middle between them, blocking their designed paths through the furrows along the ceiling and floor.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

The obstruction itself was just as imposing as the doorway itself. A huge monstrosity of armor plates, servo-limbs and hydraulic pistons that inspired vague allusions to a bi-pedal beast of war or burden from the far future. It had ceased to move right between the automatic doors, crumbled in a heap and only jostling now and then whenever the doors slammed against its sides. A highly sophisticated, jet-black long-rang firing weapon was still clutched in its mechanical, right hand.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

The machine's front was pointed towards the hallway he'd come from. To the casual, observer it looked as if it had tried to protect whatever had been behind it... or had tried to keep something out while the doors behind it were supposed to lock it and its opponent out indefinitely.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

The glare of red lights flared up from every angle at once. An alarm-system meant to get the attention anyone who'd be able to see it. In in case it didn't: A glass-covered, digital display had been mounted a short distance away from and above the doorway, flickering on and off with no clear pattern to it. Amidst the claxon of blaring, sharp sounds coming from the wall-mounted speakers, one could hear the same words that were written on every sign and display nearby:

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

But Discord didn't pay attention to the the noise, the words, the colors or the sights. None of these things could captivate him, none of this grabbed his attention... unlike that single, limp shape laying within the open cockpit of the warmachine before him. From within short distance he'd dared step close, he could perceive that it had been a pony.

Had been, because it turned out to be the body of a completely still and silentpony; draped halfway over the front of the machine and making no sign to be aware of their surroundings anymore.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

He didn't really know why his gaze was locked so firmly onto this one, lone pony, but he began to lose track of the world around him as he stepped closer. If anyone would've asked him right now, he would have found himself unable to explain what had transpired between the point in time when he stood before the gates, and when he had awkwardly clambered upon the fallen, metallic monstrosity to crouch near the motionless body.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

The machine shook. The body shook. Discord shook. But nothing else transpired, no other, independent motion from either machine nor pony could dispel this cruel reality. Tentatively, the draconequus reached out and brushed the blonde mane of the pegasus aside with his clawed paw. But all he saw were the closed eyes, slightly open mouth and completely slack facial expression of a young mare that would never move gain.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

Young. She had been so incredibly young. It couldn't have been too long ago that she had gotten her cutiemark. It depicted a metallic wrench crossed with a woodsaw, hinting at a destiny and talent that would now never find an application.

>...I'm so sorry...

Time completely lost its meaning to him. His limbs buckled, and he fell down limply before her. Down here, beneath the surface of the world; all alone, powerless and faced with the consequences from his actions taken so long ago, Discord felt something he'd never felt before. From the primordial time when he had whisked his serpentine form across the world without a care or worry, over the time he had willingly toyed with and terrorized the budding enclaves of ponies and others that would later take shape of the society and its inhabitants he knew today, all the way up until he had met and acknowledged his first, real friends. Never before had such a thought, such an emotion, occurred to him. Not this way, and not with this irrefutable intensity.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

He realized that something precious, unique and irreplaceable had been forever lost. A life had been snuffed out, meaninglessly, pointlessly and far too early for it to blossom into its full potential. A great injustice had been committed against someone who had neither been ready nor deserving of such a cruel fate. He feared that there now was no one would mourn the passing of this pony. There was no one left here, and no one had bothered to pick up her lifeless body either. No one but him was here to mourn a pony who had valiantly tried to stand up against, fight and lose tosomething they couldn't even comprehend. No one but him... and mourn, he did.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

It was all because of him, he finally admitted to himself. All because he had tried to play God. All because he hadn't cared for those who suffered from his mischief. All because he hadn't acted faster. All because he didn't catch on fast enough. He had promised to improve, to try harder, to save those he had condemned to a life of suffering, fear and constant fleeing. He had meant every word, he had meant to change.

>I'm so sorry...

He had failed miserably. His promises were as empty as the grand hallway around him.

>>...help...<<

On the edge of his conscious, he just barely perceived a noise. A request. A word. Spoken quietly. Silently. Pleadingly. It tugged at his heart-strings. He could swear he'd seen the mare's lips move, that it was her voice crying out for him. And yet he forgot that he had heard it a single second later. He wasn't lord and master over his own senses anymore.

>>...help...<<

A burning, hot sensation began to spread and make Discord's throat ache and he felt a prickling sensation in both of his eyes. His vision blurred, and for a moment, he suspected another mental attack trying to further erode his already fraying sanity. The droplets of moisture sliding down his muzzle in tiny rivulets to fall onto the fur of lost and forgotten pony before him dispelled that irrational fear. He tried to watch the droplets fall through the blurry haze, emotions he'd scarcely if ever felt before this moment burning him up from the inside. It felt like dying a little death, like he was losing more and more of himself the longer he remained at her side.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

He didn't count the seconds or even minuts he sat there, mourning the loss of someone he had never been allowed to know. But he couldn't tear his gaze away from this one, lonely pony. A mare, who had sacrificed her life and future, trying to...

… trying to...

>… trying to do what, exactly?


4 / ??
>>
>>29786043


He turned his gaze to the faint shimmer near the mare's chest. There was something he'd thought to be just the reflection of the flashing lights. Something he had assumed to be a necklace, a personal piece of jewelry. But instead of a memento hanging at he end of the chain around the pegasus' neck, there was some sort of glossy plastic card. Upon it, a picture of the mare before him, along with a name and her former occupation. He had to lean closer and squint to read it in the erratic lightning conditions.

HACKWRENCH
MACHINE SUPERVISOR
CLEARANCE: B

At last, he regained the semblance of a sense for where he was and why his steps had carried him here in the first place. By turning his head as he rose back to all fours, he was able to read the large, bold letters emblazoned upon the metallic doors. How he'd missed them up until now was beyond him.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

'SHELTER A1', they said. Immediatley to the left of the fallen machine, he found a wall-mounted terminal the likes of which Twilight Sparkle used in her reclusive laboratory and Fawtaine's shops across the land featured occasionally, awaiting user input. He'd seen them, but it had taken him a long time to truly understand them at all.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

As his mind worked out a solution to this frankly obstruction in his path, he cast another glance at the plastic card, then back at the terminal. He had to admit to himself that he simple wasn't used to approaching problems practically or logically, so it took the fallen God a disproportionate amount of time to figure out the missing puzzle-piece. His eyes flickered back and forth once again. Looking closely, he could vaguely make out a small, thin slot beneath the screen of the terminal.

Discord frowned.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

>>29786050


By the time the hellishly annoying, repetitive noise rang out yet again, a decision had been made. He, the machine and the lone mare were jostled by the impact of the double doors. Once it all stopped moving, Discord took the mare's ID and gave her one final, longing look.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

He couldn't see any open injuries on her body. No bruises, no signs of struggle. It was as if she had just slumped over, the machine she had operated crumbling without its pilot to move it and thus leaving both right in this spot. There was no explanation for her fate, All he knew, all he was certain of beyond the faintest shadow of a doubt, was that he needed to get someone to help more urgently than ever before. He needed to leave immediately and find someone to salvage this horrid scenario from further unfolding and claiming even more lives.

Granted, at this point he really felt like he needed to be saved himself.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

The draconequus carefully removed the identification card from the mare, hopped off the idle warmachine and approached the terminal. It sprung to life in response to his presence right away, displaying the omnipresent EVO logo in all its unsettling, colorful glory before demanding user input.

GA-CHACK... CLACK.

It took him far longer than he liked to admit to get it to accept the keycard, and even longer still for him to understand the terminal was to be navigated through touch-sensitive controls. Thankfully, he had a limb for every single species potentially required. By the time he had found the option to unlock and open Shelter A1, his tail anxiously whip-lashed back and forth behind him.

A final prompt flashed on the screen in bold lettering, conveying urgency.

# SHELTER A1 IN FULL LOCKDOWN #
# EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS IN EFFECT #
# CLEARANCE B OR HIGHER REQUIRED #

# DISENGAGE EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS TO OPEN MAIN GATEWAY? #
# Y / N #

He didn't even need to think about it twice. He didn't doubt or reconsider his actions anymore. If his understanding of the few maps encased within the small, rectangular boxes along the walls were to be believed, this was the only way out. The only, clear path designated by those who had constructed this place and marked it upon the maps in case of an emergency. And this clearly was an emergency like no other! With two erratic flicks of his limbs, he inserted Hackwrench's card into the slot and pressed the big, glowing Y.

GA-CHACK...

There was a slight moment of delay between his actions, and the results of them unfolding.

...CLACK:

The insufferable alarms, the brightly flashing lights and the constant slamming of the doors into the machine stopped. A steady, distant hum picked up in volume and intensity, causing the floor beneath him vibrate. It was as if someone had turned on the power grid for the subterraneous superstructure at last. The emergency light flickered off, then the main overhead lights turned on, bathing everything around him in a glaring white light and chasing away the suffocating darkness that had threatened to overwhelm him on every step on his way here.

Discord turned to face the gateway to his left expectantly, and it didn't disappoint him. With a loud, screeching noise of protesting machinery, the doors slid open to hopefully reveal his darkened path back to the surface. He shook with anticipation, his steps hasty and hurried. He was already moving past the warmachine when the lights within the room before him turned on.

>>29786061


What he saw in the bright, unforgiving light coming from above made him complexity lose his momentum and came to a slow stop. Not just Discord's movements, but his thoughts slowed to a crawl and he froze on the spot. He felt as if he had been subjected to yet another conversion into an inanimate statue. The reason for his stop, for the raging fear and terror that threatened to tear his mind asunder were... bodies.

An entire room the size and height of an airship hangar full of unmoving bodies.

So many, many bodies. Piled up high, lining the walls, the floor, strewn about like the discarded toys of a whimsical, angry child who had thrown them away in a fit of rage. Ponies, griffons, minotaurs, diamond dogs... and even what appeared to be juvenile dragons were among them. Race, origin, age, strength, intellect... it all hadn't mattered to their assailant. Whatever had rampaged through this shelter and likely those before it hadn't differentiated between one or the other.

It had taken every life all the same.

He could see the gleaming, black riot armor of what must have been EVO security, working overalls of maintenance ponies, the casual garb of everyday folks just trying to make a living. But worst of all were the children. Little bodies, of every conceivable species, laying in small lumps near the bodies of their parents. They all laid on the floor, in various positions that made clear that they had been caught unawares by whatever had claimed their lives, causing them to just slump over bonelessly on the spot and to never move again.

>>29786069


There had to be over a hundred of them in total, just in this singular shelter. One shelter, of the 26 that been designated with one letter of the alphabet. Each letter, assigned with shelters numbering 1 through 9. If every shelter down here looked the same as this one, there had to be thousands, if not tens of thousands victims that were already claimed by this unspeakable horror.

The realization threatened to make Discord choke on his own bile. The humid, warm, used-up air that had been accumulating with this chamber turned mass grave rolled over him, causing him to blink rapidly and take a step back.

“Shoot him already! He's with EVO, to come to finish the job!”

The sound of a shrill, panicked voice calling out caught him so unawares, he momentarily thought he had at last snapped and begun to hallucinate. His mind had always been on the indistinct border between sanity and insanity, so the discovery of so many dead might just have pushed over the edge at last. Or so he thought, at first.

“First of all, screw your conspiracy theory bullshit! EVO didn't do this, they did nothing but good for us! Secondly, I fucking can't! It's Discord!”

Another voice, gruff and masculine, rang out to his left, causing him to whip his head around to look for its source. But all he saw were bodies; the bodies of those slain, the bodies of those lost.

“Why not?! What if he's with the princesses! He's going to kill us!”

A sharp whine, followed by a metallic click rang out to his left. As he lifted his hands, he tried to raise his voice, to assure the survivors of his good intentions. But he was drowned out by their yelling... and the strange, powerful hum that had picked up in volume since the moment he had entered.

“How the flying fuck am I going to shoot and kill a God?! You've seen what this thing did to that THING! Nothing at all!”


9 / ??
>>
>>29786069


If possible, the first voice became even more panicked. Whoever it was sounded close to a breakdown, shrill and high-pitched. He felt like he might follow suit if she did.

>Look, I...!

“Oh God...! OH GOD! He turned off the gates! The time-dilation trap isn't working anymore!”

Finally, movement, and someone he could look at. A dark shape shot up into the air from one of the piles of bodies in the shelter, the shrill, bird-like screech of a griffon who hadn't yelled at him yet cutting through the air.

“NO! Nononononononononnono!”

All hell broke lose. The gray-feathered griffon swooped towards him, wild, bloodshot-eyes dancing within the face of someone who looked like they were facing death itself. To his left, a hulking, muscular minotaur clutching a smaller version of the weapon the warmachine behind him had tried to use. To his left, a disheveled, spectacled mare with a white labcoat emerged, tears streaking down her eyes, a look of pure, undisguised hatred directed at him.

Movement. The griffon rapidly closed the distance between them. But instead of slamming into him, the griffon swooped past him, ruffling his fur with the gust of wind as he sped past. He couldn't make out whether it had been a male or female, but he called out regardless, reaching out as if to hold onto him.

>Wait!

What happened next was a sight Discord would never forget in what little time remained for him.

>>29786081


A darting, thin streamer of radiant, blue light shot out through the massive gate on the other end of the shelter. Within glimmered the lights of countless stars and suns, a whole universe of its own. It struck the griffon mid-flight, causing him to jerk, then drop onto the floor and come to skidding halt. He didn't move, didn't even twitch... unlike the flailing, twisting, helpless specter of pure, white light that now dangled at the end of the band of light. The griffon of light had the same outline and features of the griffon that was now motionless on the floor, though they were indistinct in their incorporeal nature.

The band of light pulled taut before he could say anything, and yanked the soul of the slain griffon back, through the room, beyond the enormous doors.

“MURDERER! YOU KILLED US! YOU KILLED US ALL!”

He didn't even have any strength left to look to his side. The mare shrieked, diving for him, spittle frothing at the corners of her mouth. He had no doubt that she wished severe bodily harm onto him. He was certain she would, if she was willing and able to actually wound him in his current state.

>>GRATITUDE<<

But none of that mattered anymore. None of it mattered. Reality shuddered. It spasmed so hard the walls around him seemed to fall apart, revealing what laid beyond the veil of the material world. A shapeless, formless darkness that defied explanation and could rend a mortal mind asunder with a single glance.

>>FREEDOM<<

Reality heaved again, harder, shuddering in protest as something that defied all logic, rules of nature and explanation drew near. When the gigantic head of a being that was impossible to describe in simple words pushed through the huge metal doors beyond which it had been trapped as if they weren't even there, the world stopped making sense.

>>29786098


A vaguely equine head surrounded by a writhing, burning mane of raw, brilliant power of creation turned to look at him. Two eyes so deep he could see stars and whole galaxies birthed within them focused on him and him alone. Discord beheld the visage of GOD. His grip on his sanity and reality slipped completely.

>>DISCORD<<

A false star flared to his right, shot from the weapon of a lesser mortal. Flared and faded, before it struck her. An electric shiver took to the air. He awoke as a child, terrified and alone. He was scared of the Storm that was brewing. Fire burst forth from his lips. The world became black and white.

Why was he speaking in a tongue he'd never heard before? Eons have passed since Mother has left. Her children waited on the shores of the material world for her return, lost in the lapping waves of time. Hell is now closer than ever, immortality has become cheap and the screaming grows with every second.

Another soul was freed from its failing, mortal coil. The slack face of a mare gazes up at him uncomprehending what had just happened to her. His eye twitched involuntarily. Across nations, across time, as reality stopped making sense, Discord lifted his hands before the judging gaze of two alicorns. There was blood on his hands. He couldn't cry. He couldn't understand. He laughed maniacally. Another soul was freed.

They weren't dead. The souls of the living were clasped in the hands of the goddess, awaiting Judgement. The goddess cried. The ponies, the griffons, the minotaurs, the dragons, the diamond dogs, the children; they cried out in fear. They couldn't understand. He shifted uncomfortably. Another soul was freed.


12 / 16
>>
>>29786106


He looked upon the goddess, and she was pleaded with him. The souls cried out at him. The mare's body slid down along his front, tears running down his muzzle. Another soul was freed. He was on his knees. He pleaded with the goddess not to leave just yet. He heard children's laughter, intermingled with the hateful, uncomprehending cries of the lost. Another soul was freed. He was screaming as he realized that nothing could stand in her way, or they would join her like everyone else. He was her child. Only he could stand in her presence, dauntlessly.

He could not see anything anymore. His hands clutched, his throat burned. The floor rushed up to meet him. He awoke with a scream, surrounded by the bodies of those who never had a choice. His eye twitched involuntarily. Another soul was freed. A band of radiant light shot across the room and struck him. As she killed him, he made no sound. Another soul was freed.

>>DISCORD<<

His attempt to answer was cut brutally short as his body experienced a sudden lack of electrons. Across a variety of hidden dimensions he became dismayed. Princess Celestia handed him a flower, but it slipped through his fingers. He was reborn as a pony. The goddess disapproved. A crack echoed through the universe in defiance of conventional physics as cosmological background noise shifts from randomness to a perfect, beautiful, musical note. Children everywhere around him stop what they were doing and hum along in perfect pitch with the background radiation.

Her song.

Birds fall from the sky as the sun engulfs the earth. He hesitated momentarily before allowing himself to assume the locus of all knowledge. Entropy crumbles as he perused the information contained within the universe. A small library in Ponyville ceased to exist. He stumbled under the weight of everythingness. His mouth opened up to cry out, and collapsed around his body before blinking him out of the spatial plane. He existed only within the imagination of those who once knew him.

The fountainhead of all knowledge rolled along the ground and collides with a young mare whose mane was a brilliant mixture of blonde and red. His head twisted sideways as spacetime was reestablished. He blinked back into the corporeal world disoriented, only for the goddess to direct a glower at him as her body collapses under the strain of reconstitution. The universe reasserted itself.

A particular, young mare is trapped in a cell for the rest of her natural life. A Queen dies in a freak accident moments later, and his soul worked at the returns desk for the Ponyville library. He disapproved. His disapproval set ripples through the inter-dimensional void between life and death. A small child began to cry as he walked toward the stairway where his Mother stands. Another soul was freed.

The universe was engulfed within itself. A cart advertising redemption drove by him. It disapproves. An unnatural force reversed the world's gravity. He asked for Time. The goddess reciprocated with a mild convulsion, and laughter. He disapproved. His disapproval released a cosmic shift in the void between birth and life. Another soul was freed.


14 / 16
>>
>>29786125


His constant disapproval sent silence through everything. A contrived beast became omnipotent. Another soul was freed. The goddess gave him the Light. His body became an unsettling blob of nothingness, then it divided by itself. The universe realigns itself. He and the lost jointly disapprove. This condemnation stops the realignment. Tartarus freezes over. A Changeling is launched into the unoccupied existence between space and time with a specific gate. He asks for redemption.

Another soul was freed. He screamed as the goddess lifted it to his face. She laughed melodically as he pleaded with her. She devoured the soul as it pleads for mercy. He disapproves and condemned her to an eternity in a certain void where a certain Mother and a specific soul were located. The Universal Space-time Continuum Committee disapproves of his irrational decision. He is locked away and is fed souls for the rest of his natural existence.

An alicorn refuses to break down during the process of digestion. A Changeling dies in a freak accident. A certain mare lives the rest of her life in a comatose state. His soul disapproves. Down the street a child cries as a soul gets stuck in, and climbs back up, her esophagus.

He asked for Time. The child, the goddess, refuses to reciprocate. He demanded a lawyer. she remind him harshly that this is the new world order. Lawyers no longer exist. Only Light. His name is written on a list of sins. Blasphemy. Another soul was freed.

The comatose mare vanquishes his soul from this universe. Realignment occurs. He begged for Time. A certain mare's name is written on an obelisk in Saddle Arabia. Mumble. Peasants worship the obelisk. His soulless corpse partakes in the festivity. Souls are banned universally.

>>29786133


The sun implodes. All planets cease to have ever existed. Sun. Moon, Equus, and unnamed, third rock from the Sun. He and the goddess were the only mass in existence. Conveniently, he was on vacation here. The goddess' need for souls re-establishes space-time. Equus is recreated under her intergalactic rule. Souls are her army.

Hope left him. His mind cried out one final time, a singular, sensible existence within an ocean of souls without destination, without means to pass on. As one, they follow suit, singing a song that destabilized her one, all-numbing note.

...Discord...

He woke up, for the last time.

Mother.

Mother was everywhere.

His End finally rushed up to meet him.

He was kidnapped.

He pleaded, no, begged for just a bit of Time.

Just a little.

Just enough for someone to notice.

Smiling sadly, Mother bestowed upon him the gift of a singular month.

Reality shuddered.

A child cried out in helpless fury.

And Mother left.

With her, what separated him from the the Light was gone as well.

He couldn't be happier.


The Light.... the light... l...

It felt like it was raining.

>AHAHA!

Hundreds on hundreds of missiles, beams of light, bullets, even railgun spears hammered into him, and yet he only felt the rain.

>AHAHAHAHA!

The dragon’s laughter rang out into the devastation of the city, the stone and the rubble on which he stepped with a deliberate pace. His cackles brought terror to those within the depths of the airship, brought horror to any who could hear him far and wide, yet he never thought once of them.

Never thought once of the barrage, the clash of power that slammed against his solid hide, all of it to him was nothing but raindrops, meant to roll over him without ever truly leaving it’s mark. Every blast they sent his way shook the city, toppled buildings, rattled the land to it’s very core, but he was never moved from his steps.

He barely even felt the metal and shrapnel and flames upon his thickened, blackened hide.

>Ahhaha… ahaha..

The smell of smoke rolling all around reminded him of his old home, that craggy and lava ridden wasteland that the dragons proudly called their own. Before this day, he had never forgotten a single day of his horrid life, of staying with those who he hated and annoyed him and he would never dream of calling friend.

Dragons didn’t do friends.

>Ahaha… haaaa.

He didn’t either, in that time before.

Now, he could barely remember it.

>…Is this…

He closed his eyes for a second, taking that second to feel those warm raindrops on his body, and the shaking down to his chest and very soul.

>Is this how she is all the time?

He opened his eyes once more, swatting a claw to effortlessly knock away a particularly large missile with casual flair. It spun through the air before crashing off into the distance, completely leveling a building on the very outskirts of town into nothing.

He was pretty sure that was the third one they’d fired so far.

>Is this what it’s like for her?

Everything below him looked so very small.

1/?
>>
>>29786539

Buildings he’d walked by every day, skyscrapers he’d gawked at when he’d seen them built in their time, even the very roads he walked on that had once seemed so spacious now felt paper thin. Everything in the world seemed so small and so brittle now.

Everything was tiny, and he had only grown larger.

>…is this what she is, every day?

He batted another missile aside, just to show that he could, relishing the massive boom it gave off when it finally landed and wrecked whatever city block it had landed upon. He relished in the invincible power, the untouchable feeling for just a little while longer.

>This is… her.

He felt big.

>This is how she sees things, all the time.

He felt powerful.

>This is how she feels things.

He felt so different, he no longer could even recall what it was to be the dragon back home.

>…and she gave it to me.

It must have looked absurd to the ones in the airship. Maybe his acts gave them a bit of hope that they were pushing him back, forcing him away with their technological might and prowess. Maybe they felt they had finally started to win when he slowed, and savored the moment of opening and closing his claws over and over. Feeling the weight as his arms lifted, rolling his neck to scratch them against the new spines. They must have thought the advantage their own.

>She let me have it.

They could not have been more wrong.

>Because…

He didn’t feel a single drop of pain as time went on.

He felt nothing but the indescribable feeling that put a smile on his face unlike any other.

>…she knows I can do it too.

That smile twisted, wicked in it’s form as he peered through the destruction before him towards his target.

>You fuckers don’t get it.

They peered right back into those burning eyes, and they feared.

“Miss Pennydrop, what do we do!? Do we have any other weapons systems, a shock for the hull, a bomb to blow up the city, something!? ANYTHING!"

2/?
>>
>>29786543

The captain of this airship, stalwart, reliable and experienced despite the relative recent creation of the job as a whole, hadn’t yet found a situation where he would completely despair.

“…Miss Pennydrop?”

But when he finally tore his gaze from the screen ahead, and witnessed the empty commanders chair his employer had once occupied, nary a trace of her in the hallways or open door, it was time for a first.

“…oh.”

>AHHHHAHAHAHHA!

The airship never had a chance.

“OooohhSHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIEVERYBODYABA-”

He dove forwards with reckless abandon the moment he was close enough, crossing over buildings with a single wild bound. The airship tried to move, tried to back away when it had realized it’s foolheaded mistake to allow the beast to grow even a step closer, but such creations were not made to reverse as quickly as they could fly forwards, the one direction they sought least of all.

They could do nothing but scream as the black and grey shape moved far faster than logic would imagine something that size capable of, just as the Titan herself moved so often. They had let his shape, the bulky form, fool them exactly as he had intended.

They could do nothing but scream as his laughter grew in their ears, and his massive form grew in their view.

>YOU FUCKERS DON’T GET IT!

He crashed with sound of booming thunder, his clenched claw ramming straight into the nose of the ship. Despite his massive size, the airship dwarfed him in scale, to the level he could have comfortably rested within the heart of that ship with room to spare.

Yet, it screeched all the same when it felt his blow.

>You don’t get it!

There was a fantastic barrage against his face, a total blast of fire and metal washing over his sight enough to shroud his sight and block them out. With their opening, they poured in their all, firing off the entirety of their engines in desperation to fly up, away, backwards, any direction that would free them from him.

3/?
>>
>>29786553

He cackled with glee as his claw snapped out, sinking into the metal a mere second before it could fly away. His heels dug into the ground, shredding the streets below as if they were nothing as he held back their escape. His free claw whipped back, and with a single swing he rocked everyone within that airship.

>This is what she’s like all the time!

Those who could hold on, stand up and fire away, kept doing so. Those who could keep their wits at the looming grin in their sight fired off at point blank range, praying, hoping to a being so very far up above for an intervention that would free them and save their lives.

>Not just when she’s like this either!

His screeching cackle was nearly drowned out in all the blasting and the shaking of the ship as his claw came down again, this time leaving deep marks along it’s top as it raked back.

>She’s like this every day, every minute, every second she’s awake! She lives like this every day, feeling like this, being like this! And now…

His second claw latched on, gripping hold as tightly as the first, and his muscles rippled beneath the armor plating.

>Now I get to feel it too!

With a triumphant roar, he brought the ship to the earth.

>She’s invincible, you idiots! You think that attack stopped her!? You think anything you could do would stop her!? She's unstoppable you morons!

Pinned, they couldn’t even fire back as his fist swung back, and with one blow ripped off a chunk of that airship nearly as large as his head. Smoke, fires and screams could be heard from the exposed and gaping wound in the ship. Down beneath the frame he could see tiny movements, like ants crawling around in an anthill he’d easily kicked over. Screaming and wailing as they looked on in fear to the great scaled face above.

It only made him laugh harder.

>And so am I!

4/?
>>
>>29786563

He rolled back his shoulder, lifting the entire thing up with only a single claw. The frame bent, glass began to shatter along it’s sides, the entire structure threatening to tear apart and only the expert craftsmanship of the ship keeping it together. With that single claw, even his muscles strained to their limit to hold it up.

He found it was worth the pain and burning he felt, just to see the look on their faces.

>She didn’t have to give me this, she really didn’t… but you know what? She knows how to pick ‘em, she knows what power really is and how strong someone really is! That’s me, baby. I’m Fizzle, the Titan! And someday…

He finally added the other claw to alleviate the pain and pressure. A single smirk was all he gave them more, before his whole body suddenly rolled back.

>SOMEDAY I’LL DO IT!

With a heave, he cast the ship into the sky.

The entire thing, lifted right off the ground and hurled with such might that it vanished into the mixture of smoke and clouds above.

>SOMEDAY!

His arm curled behind him, his fist clenched until blood seeped from within his palm, and he roared.

>SOMEDAY I’LL BE JUST AS STRONG AS HER!

He prepared to jump, and give one final, dazzling uppercut to finish it, finish everything and render it all to pieces.

He never got his chance.

>What?

The sudden eruption from above stalled him. The sound of metal moaning and ripping stalled his movements as much as his breath. He watched the dark clouds above, smoke and dust of their weapons creation, waiting for the airship to finally fall.

It never did.

Not as a whole.

>What the…

Pieces.

A thousand tiny metal pieces fell instead. Falling down before him, on him, pieces of metal and wiring and nuts and bolts of the airship’s body came down on him in a rain of destruction from above.

5/?
>>
>>29786571

Heavy pieces of torn steel mingled in with the tiny flakes to bounce off his hide, rolling over him and leaving behind streaks in his stained scales. His claws cupped before him, watching as the pieces of what had attacked him pooled into them in a scrapheap.

He’d never felt more confused, or unnerved.

>…Did I do that?

The beginning of his answer came with a resounding clang when a massive sheet of metal fell to his side.

Another fell before he could even register the sting in his ears.

Both of them, massive enough he could have held them up and used them comfortably as a shield, had been warped, twisted beyond recognition, bent and battered until they had nearly formed a perfect curve.

Something had done this, something had ruined these walls that looked strong enough to hold back at least a few of his blows.

Something, that left behind hoof prints.

>…Is that-

He smiled as his head turned upwards to the sky, and the clouds parted away.

At first, it was nothing but a dark shape. A silhouette visible even in the blackened clouds of the smoke above. Something massive, oozing with power that rumbled like a storm above. It was not with a crack of lightning or a bolt of thunder that it fell, but of a rolling meteor coming to earth.

Down from those clouds it fell, smoke curling around it’s every corner and forms, mingling perfectly with the black hide it touched only briefly. Brilliant white followed past, rolling in the wind as the mammoth shape fell past.

With it’s fall, it did not bring rain of those pieces of that mighty airship, but a storm.

6/8
>>
>>29786578

A storm so thick, so wide, it would have flooded the world had the metal not been so finite, it's metal shards clashed against the ground louder than any hurricane could as they brought a covering that nearly shrouded even the towering shape in it’s entirety before at last, with a resounding blow that rocked the city to it’s very foundations, it landed and sank the earth beneath it with it’s might.

Behind that monstrous shape, the weapon that had been so useless against him fell to the earth. The cored out, split corpse of the airship that had been his brief foe gave little more than a few weak explosions along it’s hull before crumpling like paper, felled beyond salvation and recognition.

With one final burst of it’s internal weapons, it erupted, shrouding the shape before him in a darkened shadow and casting wind and shrapnel in every direction. When the last piece fell, there was nothing but silence left in that crumbling city.

Nothing but silence, and two massive shapes to regard one another.

One side, the monstrous dragon, twisted in form.

The other, a stare so very familiar, on a face so very familiar.

The stare of Queen Chitania.

>Figures.

He frowned, but only for a second.

>Kill stealer.

No matter how he tried to force it, he couldn’t manage.

He just couldn’t stay angry at the Titan watching eye level back at him.

>I totally had it, but you just had to come in and steal my thunder didn’t you? Well, shows you. I’ve been kicking ass up and down this place all day!

He flexed his armored muscles as he approached the Changeling Queen, showing off his best with his most wicked smile.

>Ehhh, I guess you can have that one, can’t let me get the last blow in, can you? I get it… you’re the best.

7/8
>>
>>29786584

When he finally reached close enough to her, near enough he could have reached out and grabbed hold of her had he the courage or the insanity to do so.

He couldn’t describe it when he came to a halt. When he stood there, perfectly level with her for the first time in his life, successful in battle and feeling so very powerful, he couldn’t describe it.

Looking her straight in the eyes, at last, turned his cocky smile, his grin of malice, into one of pure warmth.

>Awesome, wasn’t it?

At last, he felt on her level, he felt he could hold his claw out, curled into a fist, and wait for her.

At last, he could feel something real when he watched that Titan hoof lift from the ground and angle towards him.

>…couldn’t have done it without you-

The whole world heard the powerful crack when her hoof collided with his cheek.

OH SHIT

That actually makes sense! Why Chitty would let her take it, why she gave him a durability powerup, why she kept it from Fizzle till the very end, why she sent Fizzle out first to fight it, then waited until he'd finished off the airship and didn't see it coming.

Captain said abandon ship at some point so maybe they're fine.

Then again, maybe not with the exception of Pennydrop, I doubt Chitty would let a single one of them escape. Penny obviously made it out because of plot armor, but I don't see Chitania letting anyone else get out alive.
>>

They left an opening there in the clouds for an opportunity for them to book it, but then kinda made that make less sense if Chitty just skypunched right through that thing, and even that's less likely if she teleported in.

Seriously, I just noticed it and can't unnotice it, guy fucking HATES walls. Every story he makes multiple walls are getting fucked up.

Chitty theoretically could have saved all of them, but I really don't see why she would. Like, I don't like it, but I don't want them to suddenly have her be needlessly Noble just to prevent that. She never cared so far, she probably wouldn't start right now when they almost killed her.

>>
>>29787711
>Bodies blow out through the hole in the hull in the throw

Nobody fell out during that though, he would have seen them or mentioned them. I mean, he kind of monologued after he ripped open that one hole, they just probably got out of the area and moved on to a sealed one. Why would they stay there where the ceiling is worked out of? I mean, claw isn't that big, couldnt be more than two ponies wide, they wouldn't stick around after it got ripped out, that would be dumb.
>>
>>29787731
Well I don't see any escape route or any saving grace for them.
>>
>>29787749
Not arguing with those other two bits, unless she for some reason saved all of them personally, there is no way they made it out. I'm just arguing the first one, nobody fell out when he tossed it, and there is no reason anybody would be in an area where they could fall out with by the time he did toss it. No way did she save them though
>>
>>29787778
Sunset might have told her to show Mercy since they are just pawns. She would only care about the head honcho, not the others who were just doing their jobs.

Grow big, set Airship on the ground, grab it and teleport the ship,but leaving the people, teleport up in the sky while all the crew fall from relatively safe nights and while in the sky, seismic toss it into the ground away from the scattering escapes.

Done and Done.

Cuil theory, to be precise.

It's an abstraction to describe the relation between two objects. It's about a theory Kant proposed: "The world we experience is informed by the world as it truly is and the restraints of our own consciousness. Thus, we can never really know what's happening in the world as it truly exists except that it has a role in shaping the world that we experience."

Coming up with a way to propably describe how incredibly mind-boggling it would be to encounter something that defies the very logic we built ouir worldview upon is tough. It'd be cheap to just call it /x/posting or somesuch. It's more of a method to empathize that you can't really deal with this thing in a normal form and way.

Well, Discord completely snapped at the end. So that helped.

Though, I suggest anyone to read about it on cuiltheory.wikidot.com/ if they want.

Chitty was honestly he perfect monster to slay, and when she hurt Two I was sharpening the blade myself, but then we let her live and now she's the most fleshed out character we have with a back story and history with our chart that mostly justifies all her actions! We can't off her now.

All these nameless and faceless characters getting offed? It doesn't bother me because they honestly don't matter to me. Didn't know they existed till they died, have no reason to feel anything for them, all I can and will do is acknowledge the t that they died to bring something to the story.

>Yet again I walk in here and find something of yours on fire. This is becoming increasingly regular, and it worries me.

"Ah'm roastin' marshmallows."

>Of course you are. Why wouldn't it make sense to roast a gooey treat over an open flame in the middle of your office, while also making my daughter backflip somewhere in protest.

"They ain't got no love in them. This fire don't deserve it."

>And the universe rights itself. Just for the sake of my sanity, does the fire have a purpose?

"Burning."

>Of course, of course. But aside from that?

"Burning Chrysalis's load of horsewash."

>Ahhhh. Slipped another law in?

"Foreign marriages meaning you don't pay taxes."

>Tempting.

"Hence why Ah' burned it a'fore every bachelor got himself a buffalo marefriend every tax season."

>Interracial mixing, your greatest foe.

"Laziness and not payin' yer' taxes are mah' greatest foe. So, Chrysalis."

>And Sunset, and Chitania.

"...That fit better than Ah' thought it would."

>May I join you? I do so love a good marshmallow.

"Ah' wouldn't."

>Why?

"This smoke is probably gonna start causin' problems for a non-alicorn pretty fast."

>...so that pink thing on your shoulder-

"Isn't real."

>Well, shoot.

"Yeah, you should probably-"

THUNK!

"...considerin' how long he jabbered on, is this just lettin' nature take it's course?"

My /pa/l, I am the same way. The enemy will get no chances to recoup for another go, nuh-uh.
>>
>>29791758
Of course, I don't see Sunny and Chitty as the enemy, so you won't find me on your side if you are in that camp. I still see them as the heroes they could be if life would just stop fucking them over.

Again, I agree. They just seem jaded to hell and back. Good guys once things get settled and packed away.

...But the opportunistic but otherwise benign powerhouse of FLIM AND FLAM! They're the real threat that must be eliminated before they could come back for another round! Who knows what these piss-terrified, surrendering normal unicorns could do!

Thank goodness forces like those of the far less dangerous reformed Nightmare Moon and Discord were there to save the day!
>>
>>29791879
Oh hush you, NMM is no longer an issue and Discord? Send Fluttershy after him.
>>
>>29791995
>NMM is no longer an issue

Unlike Flim and Flam, two normal unicorns who needed the smartest unicorn in the world's blueprints to make robots that got curbstomped in one shot. They're clearly an issue that needs taken out immediately, unlike the chaos god who would neeeeever turn on his friends!

That mentality realllly does not fit in this universe.

I think you're missing the point of our entire back and forth Moral Anon. Casualties happen, get over it, you've had your way long enough. Time to build a body pile that'll reach the heavens.
>>
>>29792063
>I think you're missing the point of our entire back and forth Moral Anon.

Hence why I only made fun of the absolutely ridiculous "Never let an enemy live, or else they might come back to stab you in the back!" mentality that is so disconnected from previous events it's going to honk it's big red nose all thread, it's so silly. I'm not arguing the casualty thing, I'm laughing at how comedy-tier that whole line of thought is in the current verse. Unlike the one arguing you a couple hours ago, I've got full faith in KKA. He took over for LKA, and that guy? He does not half-ass stuff, he does not put it in unless it's important and he always pulls a surprise I never saw coming.

I'm not going to complain about it until I see the last word of the arc, because I know better by now. You think he'd go edgy? I think "What's this mean for the story?"
>>
>>29792083
PREACH!

All hail the triumvirate!
>>
>>29792083
Could not agree more.

I never once got the idea he'd kill off anyone for shock value, it always ties into the story later. He wove in Spike being stabbed and being blown out the window with a single story of 7 and PJ forming a mini alliance with a hidden character who's been in the shadows for years with a SINGLE ATTACK Sunset made during the long ass battle with the orb that was taken from a castle in an arc about invasion and distraction that-

You get the idea. I don't get the impression that the guy thinks in singles, and since the airship crew wouldn't affect either Fizzle or Chitty normally, there's something more here. It probably ties in with that other theory about her taking his titan power, though I can't figure out how.

I'm not as crazy as him.
>>
>>29792083
My whole thing is based on passed events, so honestly my opinion and mentality on it doesn't matter much at all. Its happened and set in stone. But my point remains, stop whining about the deaths, just watch it all unfold.you can whine at the end like a good nugget.

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!

There were explosions outside. They were loud, they had grown louder, then they had grown quieter, then louder again, and then they had become rather metallic and high pitched.

He dared not ask what they meant.

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT

His wings were abuzz as he flew through corridor after corridor, zipped in and out of room after room, searching, looking, scanning with the eyes of an Infiltrator as he looked for any possible soul still in the building.

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHI-THERE! OH THANK THE HIVEMIND-fuck.

His hopes were dashed when he realized the pony in the corner had, in fact, been a plant with a rather large leaf on the top.

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT-THERE YOU ARE NOW WE CAN-damn it!

As had the changeling turned out to be nothing but a block of charred metal.

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT-FINALLY! I THOUGHT IT'D NEVER!

And the 'filly', nothing but a chunk of insulation in a ponylike shape.

>SHIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!

~You swear a lot.~

>NOT FUCKING NOW BLOSSOM!

~Do not yell at me. It's scary.~

>I'M NOT YELLING AND I ALREADY TOLD YOU TO RUN!

~Don't want to leave you.~

>THAT'S VERY TOUCHING AND I'M HAPPY YOU FEEL THAT WAY BUT I DO NOT BECAUSE THERE IS-AHA! THERE YOU... son of a bitch!

He'd been sure this time, and yet he'd been completely wrong again.

>Are you kidding me! How does that even work!?

He'd been so sure he's seen a body, and there wasn't even anything there when he came to his full stop, staring straight ahead into the wall that was as barren as it was smooth.

~Panicking is bad.~

>YES I KNOW IT'S BAD THANK YOU BLOSSOM!

~Please don't panic.~

>I'LL GET RIGHT ON THAT BLOSSOM THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT!

~I do not feel thanked.~

>I'LL BUY YOU A FUCKING THANK YOU CARD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh-

~Wrong way.~

>WHAT?!

>>29793401

He came to a sudden stop, blinking gormlessly at the only vaguely familiar surroundings. They had become far less blurred since his last trip, yet they were as recognizable as ever.

>...how did I get turned around!? Completely turned around! This is some one eighty shit how does that even work!?

~You're panicking.~

>I KNOW I'M PANICKING THE BUILDING IS GOING TO START EXPLODING!

~You should be flying then.~

>....gg-g-gGGGAHHHHHHHHH!

With a roar of fear, he tore off the right way once more.

~Watch out for the plant.~

>The wha-

His answer came with a face full of greenery.

~That one.~

>...thank you, Blossom.

~Did you miss that one? You looked right at it.~

The changeling did not know if it was technically possible to roast a phoenix, and of course he'd never actually do it to one he cared about so much.

He was still going to think it.

~Boom is getting louder.~

>SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!

He'd searched two floors now. Only a hundred more to go.

He would search them all.

>SHIIIIIITT!

And he would spend every moment of it hating the fact he could not leave a single one of them to die.

>WHY AM I SO DAMN WEAK!?

>>29793569
Something about this picture really fires off my neutrons. I don't know... Sunset has been victim to neglectful role models all her life. What could she possibly want from the highest-standing mother figure in existence...?
>>
>>29794673
>Chitty back
>After the Hivemind betrays her and tears her apart seeking the ultimate godkilling power for themselves
>>
>>29794673
Sunset has always sought maternal affection, she's just never really gotten it in the form she wanted.

Chitania comes the closest to giving her that, with encouragement and praise and belief, but the longstanding issue with their connection is that they're terrible for each other, despite how great they work together. They feed each other's paranoia and offer validation, they cover the others shortcomings to prevent them from noticing it until it's gone. They handle all the hard parts of their respective fields and give nothing to help the other grow in those areas despite an obvious and vested interest. They're good at helping each other excel, but growing as an individual is less on the agenda.

Currently? She wouldn't want anything from Faust. All she'd see is the same failures who were holding her back and keeping her from real greatness because they were jealous/afraid of her capabilities and potential. Faust would gently try to put her back on the righteous path, all Sunset would see is another chain around her neck from a figure who was absent her whole life and never truly cared about her, only what could be done in their name under strict limits. What truly could Faust offer her, in kindness or in caring, she does not get elsewhere?

It's funny, in a way. She went in with Celestia and AJ wanting nothing but a mutual and caring relationship with either, she sought real love and admiration from them, this wasn't just a time of learning, but a time of connecting, and found herself dismissed or neglected by them. With Chitania, it was purely a deal of business, a mutual gain on both sides that needed no further or deeper relationship and no reason to care once that transaction was concluded.

And along the way she finds that relationship she's always wanted, and it's driving her insane.
>>
>>29794887
So BOY is it gonna suck when Chitty leaves her ass behind.
>>
>>29794732
...they are a bunch of backstabbing bitches...
>>
>>29794887
Right

So how do we get AJ to suitably change to reflect this?
>>
>>29795305
AJ has to change herself in order for that to work. Right now, she has a lot of belief in the singular hard work of someone, that what they do or do not do helps define them. She still criticizes Celestia for her lack of work and even while Cadence was trying, she never acknowledged her efforts until she saw it did work. She's the kind of maternal figure who respects results first and foremost, a sign of her working years where either you worked hard and planted your crops right or you didn't grow anything that year. it's a very direct line of thinking exemplified by her talk with Rainbow Dash in the show about how she learns, slowly and with repetition over the years through constant effort.

It's not SUNSET who has to change here, at least not entirely her. Sunset doesn't need to have Chitania betray her so AJ could swoop in and finally fix her, she doesn't need everything to go wrong just so Aj can give some wholesome advice and make it better and obviously that fixes it. AJ has to really challenge herself here and redefine what it means not just to teach, but help grow and encourage.

She's used to letting nature take it's course after the lands been tilled and the seed planted, but if she ever wants to actually do right by Sunset she needs to finally learn that individuals are not so simple. She needs to broaden her 'crops' and learn that just like there's a difference between growing a carrot and an apple, there's a massive difference between growing her crops and growing a mind in boundaries that are acceptable but restrictive enough they never become destructive.

AJ has to learn the hard part here, and it's not going to come from a last minute speech when Sunset and Chitania have almost won. Even if she stops them and even if she speaks from the heart there's just no way getting around it, AJ has to stop thinking she's in the right and LEARN.
>>
>>29795392
... Wow.

KKA is going to have to do so many internal monologues
>>
>>29795392
>AJ has to learn the hard part here, and it's not going to come from a last minute speech when Sunset and Chitania have almost won. Even if she stops them and even if she speaks from the heart there's just no way getting around it, AJ has to stop thinking she's in the right and LEARN.

And so someone sees the true purpose of AUJ. Seeing the extreme side of that mind set and what its done to AUJ and her universe. Of course if we could have done this before all this halabaloo, we'd be golden delicious!
>>
>>29794887
>>29795392
You know what the kicker would be?

Sunset's parents were the most kind and emphatic parents a Pony could wish for, and she had the best parents all the way through her life.

But she forgot all that when she hungered for knowledge.

And then she forgot them again when she hungered for.... something...

Imagine if she could remember them, what it was like to be loved and cared for unconditionally.
>>
>>29792276
HAH! Hahahahahaha! That fucking last line, I'm done!

Welp, when this is done, and the Threeaome are finished their arc, we NEED to stick Applejack and Sunset together lile glue.

No not in the shipping sense, but the "WE were so fucking neglectful about writing these two and their problems and their development together that we almost caused the end of the world"

We fucking fucked them up and God help me if I see that happening again in this thread.

There were thankfully few observers left to witness - or become victim of - the hour-long confrontation between Equestria's Finest and Equestria's Most Wanted, which had culminated in the city-wide destruction sown by the arsenal of Fawntaine Industries' experimental, Weaponized Low-Altitude Airship. It was the first of its kind, unlike any machine the world had ever seen. It had been equipped with enough armaments and ammunition to bring forth an ocean of fire that could lay waste to an entire country all on its own.

Thick, acrid smoke that originated from the explosive payload of the many missiles fired and the countless fires that had broken out across the city blanketed Hoofington Valley in a mysterious fog of war the likes of which Equestria hadn't seen in centuries. Even if the county's citizens were to return to their homes, the economical and structural damages by far surpassed anything even Canterlot had been forced to endure. The EVO Corporation, and all it had built up around it, was on the precipice of total annihilation.

And to the south, near the burning wreckage of Fawtaine's pride, from the ruins of what had once been an entire shopping district dedicated to food and daily needs, a mighty beast of ancient myth rose. A dragon so massive his shadow was cast miles ahead of him. Scales so thick they meshed together into a shield-like, curved hide blanketed with wickedly sharp spikes rose from his back, a crown of thick horns surrounding his head like a crown. Fizzle shook his titanic form like a dog which had stepped out of the rain, dislodging debris and the very soil that had been tightly packed beneath the four-lane road he'd been flung into. He stood up, and stared at the one he'd come to respect, understand and maybe even relate to during their time together.

>What... the... WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!


1 / 9

>>29800788


Spittle flew from his lips, droplets large enough to completely coat entire single-family houses in a dense layer of acidic goo spraying into all directions. More than the actual rage he thought he should feel or the elation that had taken hold of him during his rampage, the titanic dragon felt confusion. Confusion as to why he had been so savagely rebuked, confusion as to why Chitania herself had taken to the field despite the ease with which he had repelled their enemies' most destructive weapons. Confusion... why the fearsome, stoic Queen stared at him with a completely motionless face, her eyes dead-set upon him without even the slightest hint of expressiveness.

Fizzle would have liked to think that, by this point, he was able to read at least some of Changeling Queen's very subtle bodylanguage. Not enough to truly understand her, but at least enough to know when not to cross her or push his luck in a training battle. Even someone as stoic as she couldn't completely control a small twitch of their brow, or a light shift of their hoof, unless they paid close to attention to it.

Which was why he began to feel an old fear re-surface from deep inside him the moment he realized the Queen was focused on him alone, and whatever had brought her here had caused her face to become like a completely still mask. His old fear of her might, of how she could break anyone and anything without even having to try, and how she had been so utterly alien and detached from the ways dragons tended to think and act. Fear that had eventually become respect. Now said fear bubbled up within him once more.

Why?


2 / 9
>>
>>29800797


Because he realized her face had become like a terrifying, monstrous mask lacking any emotion tribal warriors would don before going into battle with their most hated enemies. There were no opponents here that would validate the Titan going into the field this late into the game, when she was supposed to never move from Sunset Shimmer's side unless absolutely necessary. There was no one that could possibly stand in the way of Chitania anymore after his emergence, and to his knowledge, there was no plan for it to happen regardless.

There was no opponent for her to fight here anymore...

...except for him.

>...Don't ...don't fuck with me. Come on, just say that you're messing with me.

If anyone who had witnessed the rampaging dragon when he had first taken the field, they would very likely have questioned why he was standing stock-still, his massive, muscular arms shaking as the Titan advanced towards him in a slow, confident gait that belief clearly aggressive intentions. Every step had more force behind it than necessary. Every stomp shook the city, and the dragon himself, to the core. Even his roaring voice had become a deep, rumbling murmur.

>This isn't funny anymore... this isn't funny at all.

When one of the many, multi-story buildings across the city turned out to be in her direct path between the point she had landed and where he stood, Chitania stopped. Despite the mounting tension he felt between them, Fizzle felt relief wash over him, a shaky smile causing his lips to curl back and revealing gleaming, sharp fangs.

>Heh... heheh, okay, you got me. That's cool. You just wanted to try how tough I am, right? Make me piss myself so this doesn't go to my head? Well, hey! Don't worry. I got this! You don't need to-

CRACK!

BOOM!


3 / 9
>>
>>29800808


Chitania's face twisted into a visage of fury and concentration. Her hoof slammed into the building so hard it split down the middle. The concrete building stood no chance, sparks of powerlines being torn and small explosions from electronic devices being obliterated going off as it crumbled. Two, three, four times, the Titan Queen slammed her hoof into the building, then took a step forwards into and through it.

He had expected her to advance upon him again, ancient survival instincts telling him something was horribly, dangerously wrong. His massive heart started beating at a frantic pace, his pupils shrunk, his labored, foul-smelling breath came out in quick pants when he lost control over his composure.

POW!

What he hadn't expected in that moment was for her to quickly swing her body around and slam a hoof into a part of the crumbling building so hard a chunk of debris as big as his head was flung out and at him.

WHAM!

>GRAAAAH!

He didn't even have time to flinch before it slammed into his chest with enough force to shatter completely and fling his multi-ton body back onto the ground again.

He instantly saw red. A haze of fury, threatening to be drowned by a torrent of emotions, settled over him as he shook his head, jumped to his feet and stared at Chitania. The Titan Queen who was attacking him... who was now his opponent, he realized. He could feel his blood boil within his veins, his clawed hands flexing repeatedly. Opening and closing, opening and closing.

He didn't know why Chitania chose to fight him, and now of all times. He didn't know why he deserved to be struck, why he was suddenly the one who could no longer fathom Sunset Shimmer's plans. All he knew was that he wasn't going to take this kind of treatment laying down. Not like this, not when he was at the peak of his power!

>Dont'fuckwithmedon'tfuckwithmedon'tfuckwithme... DON'T FUCK WITH MEEEEEEEE!

>>29800818


Fizzle SCREECHED. His voice had become a vent for his emotions, ringing out so sharply it would have rendered anyone unfortunate enough to stand near his rearing body deaf. Rows upon rows of glass shattered around him. The muscles in his legs bulged, and he leapt straight at the completely still Titan. The battle was on. He didn't know what he would do once he reached her, he didn't know if he could bring himself to actually hit her.

Sadly, Chitania had no such qualms at all.

When his claws came within what felt like inches from her face to him, but were actually several dozen feet of distance, the Titan's movement sped up to the point he didn't even see her blur. All that registered on him was a savage, brutal force slamming into him, not only bringing his momentum to a complete stop, but reversing it so hard he was flung up high into the air. During his brief airtime, Fizzle was sure all of his inner organs had been violently pulped from the burning pain alone. He found himself unable to suck in even the slightest bit of air into his burning lungs until he crashed back down into the city, dragging another, deep furrow through it with the sharp spines on his back.

He didn't think about the meaning of this happening anymore. Fizzle the dragon didn't think at all. As he had come to learn during the times Chitania had utterly savaged him and Flash under the pretense of training, neither thinking too long nor mouthing off too much would do him any good. It didn't matter whether the Queen suddenly wanted him dead or not. She wasn't pulling her punches, and if he didn't stay on his toes when she was like this, he...

He flung himself forwards onto all fours, hunching over like an aggressive, cornered beast and charged her. He was within range to strike before she could cock back a limb to attack first. Everything from her chin up was wide open. His massive, clenched fists slammed into her hide...

CRACK!


5 / 9
>>
>>29800828

...and hit chitin harder than any steel he had punched or torn into today. He felt a wholly new sense of pain. The shock of the impact ran up his arm. But even if Chitania had felt the strike, she didn't show it. Her face was still a motionless mask not betraying any thought or emotion.

With horrid ease, she slammed her hooves into his side, squared her hind legs into the ground and picked him up like a toy. His surroundings became a colorless blur as she tossed him forwards, sending him flying and crashing through several buildings at once. The impact of concrete against his back, the burst of explosions against his armored hide... all of it barely hurt him. What did hurt him were the scale-shattering hooves of the Titan Queen suddenly descending upon him, raining a flurry of blows onto his skull faster than he could shield his face with his arms.

His head rattled and shook under the assault, an explosion of stars and a creeping, painful darkness on the edges of his vision taking his sight for but a moment. He didn't know what he supposed to do against the most fearsome ally now turned enemy he had ever come to know. But his body did. Thanks to the lessons she had pounded into him, day after day, week after week. His spiked, thick tail underneath her swung to the left hard enough to kick one of her legs out from beneath her. But if he had hoped for a reprieve in her attack, he was left wanting.

Balancing only on two hooves and in mid-fall, she twisted her body in ways that would make a dancer stare in awe and swung out her right hindleg with bone-shattering force. It slammed against the side of his skull.

Fizzle stopped hearing, feeling or sensing anything. For a second, he was in an endless, horrid, silent voice that threatened to consume him. When he came back around, merely moments later, he was on his back, Chitania already advancing upon him with horrid determination.


6 / 9
>>
>>29800844


Brief flashes from his past of being a victim to bullies much older and stronger than him caused him to panic. He tried to kick back, tried to scramble his enormous, powerful body away. But she was much faster than him. With ease, she grabbed his tail with both of her hooves, opened her maw and latched her powerful jaws into it.

Then she swung him up into the air like a simple toy with a sharp jerk of her neck. The world started spinning wildly before him. Fizzle found himself flung high into the air, rapidly spinning on his own axis. The kind of strength required to lift a dragon of Fizzle's size and bodymass would have been enough to lift the Canterlot off its perch on the side of its mountain. But the Titan seemingly possessed this kind of power. The same power that allowed her to fling out a hoof the moment the dragon was about to hit the ground again and slam into his body with utterly jarring force. Fizzle's back bent at an painful angle, the hoof driven into his gut making him puke up a torrent of whatever had been inside his stomach up until now, covering the destroyed part of town in greenish sludge. He was on the floor again, crashing into what remained of this part of the town.

But Fizzle the dragon didn't rise anymore.

He couldn't move. He couldn't hear. His limbs ached and felt numb. His ears rang and he could taste the coppery sensation of his own blood on his tongue. He tried to push himself up onto all fours, only to be viciously struck down by a hoof to the back of his head. The pavement cracked when the dragon's face slammed into it, but Chitania seemingly wasn't satisfied yet.


7 / 9
>>
>>29800853


Again, and again, and again, her merciless, brutal hoof was thrust down into the back of Fizzle's skull, driving his head deeper into the earth below. The dull sounds of chitin striking against scales rang out across the silently burning town, its echoes thrown off the buildings that still stood in the wake of their brutal, one-sided battle.

When, at last, Fizzle was allowed to see the outside world again, his face was a throbbing, bruised mess. His draconic endurance held true. None of his scales split and none of his flesh was ruptured. But in this sorry state of dazed concussion, he couldn't do anything to stop the Changeling Queen from straddling his back. He couldn't do anything but gurgle a single, confused word when she gripped his upper jaw with the holes of one hoof, and pressed her other one down into his lower jaw.

>W-wwwhhhyyyyyy...

A horrid pressure began to slowly pry his struggling maw wide open. He tried to resist, tried to close his jaws shut, but he simply didn't have the strength to oppose her anymore. Little by little, his muzzle split open, the flesh and scales on the corners of his maw tearing open. He tried to push back, to rake his claws through he ground to find purchase and stop her. But it was all in vain.

...crick...

...CRICK!

...CRACK!

The horrid crack of something dislodging was soon followed by a sharp snap when his jaw broke.

>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLGRRRRRLLLL!

The pain was blinding and horrid. This was something he had never been subjected to before. He feared for his life, feared for what Chitania would do to him. Foamy, red fluid poured from his muzzle in countless bubbles, threatening to drown him in his own lifeblood. He couldn't do anything, his brief moment as the strongest being in this battle effortlessly dashed by the one who had taught him how to fight opponents far stronger than him. Like her.


8 / 9
>>
>>29800864


Chitania just held Fizzle there, staring down at him with burning intensity. The moment passed, a decision had been reached. She released his wrecked muzzle and viciously threw his head to the ground with complete disregard for his well-being.

He didn't see how she stared at him, taking in his near-unbreakable body for but a moment. He didn't see how she crouched down and opened her mouth wide, right above his head. He didn't see how a swirling, reddish hue poured forth from her muzzle and curled along her body in long, fuzzy lines like a living, crimson snake composed of mysterious energies.

But, while he couldn't see it, he certainly could feel something. A horrid, powerful pressure bearing down on him. A feeling of dread and emptiness, threatening to swallow him whole. He closed his eyes tightly shut. He feared his violent end at the hooves of the first one he had ever respected for their strength and self-control. Someone he had begun to see as something more than just a mere ally in a joint quest for power. Someone who, ultimately, proved every one of his fears and prejudices about kinship true.

He closed his eyes when the torrent of noise around him picked up in volume…and was promptly drowned out by a mighty, rage-filled, ear-splitting roar that echoed across all of Hoofington.

Nope. Chilling as fuck.

Just coldly beating him and beating him and beating him, and then getting ready to kill him. Not a word, not a sound, just pain.

Holy shit.

>That betrayal to Sunset finally happens
>FINAL BOSS CHITANIA
>>
>>29801058
>(No idea what the fuck that is),

Think we were onto something with her needing his power, and that's it. She's probably going to become Dragon-Titan-Chitania(Kaiser-Chitania?) and then AJ and AUJ have to be the ones to actually fight her. Gaining all of the glory and none of the effort put in to make this moment possible.

Do you think the others will go easy on him considering how that ended up, or would the fact he was the only one outright trying to kill others, and probably DID kill everyone on the airship make him the one who gets the second worst punishment?

~~~~

A mighty, rage-filled, ear-splitting roar echoed across all of Hoofington. and it all fell silent.

From the lowest being, should any still remain in that wreckage.

To the tallest of the monsters, standing above her fallen foe.

All fell silent, deathly so, when they heard that roar.

Those with sanity still in tact from the brutal display, those who could bear to tear their eyes away from the fallen dragon, including the beast herself, were all met with a sight so strange it outmatched even the bizarre spectacle that had unfolded on this day. A sight none, not one, expected to see when they followed the booming sound of that roar.

It was like a dream when they saw it, a sight that could exist only in a fantasy concoction of the mind, yet it was as real as the blood dripping on the ground.

There, next to the tower that had been the focal point of the entirety of this day’s spectacle, was a figure.

A towering, roaring, red eyed and angry figure that none had ever expected to see.

For they had no reason to, it would have been absurd to think. Why would any expect that figure to appear next to the focal point of power.

“GRRRAAAGGHHHHHH!”

When she was the one standing over the prone and defeated dragon.

What little gaze the dragon still had grew confused as his eyes flicked back and forth, again and again, yet his addled mind could make no sense of it.

Towering over him, ready to deliver the final blow, stood Queen Chitania.

Away from him, near the place he had nearly once called home was none other than Queen Chitania.

Identical in every way, a perfect match, save one small detail.

One held the gaze of pure, wild rage.

1/??
>>
>>29806763

The one who had beaten him, the mirror to the Queen standing tall so far away, never moved her sight, she locked the cold eyes dead with the burning fires of the Queen in front of her, never flinching, never showing fear. With subtle movements, the one who had attacked him shuffled her hoof, slithering it down towards his long and scaled neck, a single push away from ending it, ending him, forever.

“GRRRRRAAGGGGHHHHHHH!”

Louder, the other one called. Her already deafening roar turned booming and world shaking with it’s follow up. She demanded attention with her roar, and would have nothing else instead.

That attention was granted in full. Though the hoof of the first monster remained sternly in place, though it still twitched with a bloodlust to be sated, the two mirror eyes locked onto each other across the stricken battlefield, and held.

Again, the newcomer roared, again she challenged, but the first would not.

Not when she saw those eyes flicker away for just a second, lose focus for only an instant, to follow when that limb moved along battered scales. When that emotion, however hidden it may be, became obvious, the Titan remained still. It would not answer that call, not yet.

“Ggkaaaahhh-“

Not till after one final, devastating swing lashed into the dragon’s core with more force than could even have been matched in the brutality he’d suffered thus far, casting him through what little remained of the nearest building. He choked, gurgling out his last desperate gasp of pain before succumbing to the wounds he had taken. With regret in his eyes, with remorse clear on his face, his eyes became white and unseeing as his body fell limp with the rolling destruction he caused.

Little by little, his sight blurred by the fog in his eyes, the Titan Dragon shrank away, back to his previous, original form. Thin, slim, and so very, very small.

2/??
>>
>>29806771

When his broken body fell among those ruins as they collapsed all around him, he’d never felt more small. His one comfort came with the darkness that took him, and did not let him go.

Neither Titan had moved yet.

The gaze of the newcomer had twisted slightly, the warning snarl becoming nothing short of feral as she glared across the ruined landscape. The other, as always, kept her sight completely neutral, never blinking once as she stared back.

The hoof that had brought such pain lifted again, moving towards the rubble she’d cast the dragon into, never to reach it.

Even it stalled when another set of hooves slammed hard into the earth with all she had, and the world was bathed in a shaking, quaking roar. The call had grown louder, hasher, and so very much more wild.

That bloodied hoof returned, and the entity understood. The time for such things was over. With careful eyes, she sized up her opponent.

With eyes just as careful, the newcomer searched.

As one, a perfect mirror, they stepped forwards, each matching with perfect steps the other’s trot.

As one, a perfect mirror, their speed began to increase, neither ever leaving the other’s pair of eyes.

As one, a perfect mirror, they charged.

The newcomer roared wildly as she raced, head whipping back and forth in a frenzy as she charged.

The other never called, never made a sound, only matched those speedy steps with perfect grace.

With a final reckless abandon, with a final reflective movement, their hooves lashed out in harmony.

The whole world knew when their hooves met in a clash.

Even those who would never know what it meant had heard that thunder. Even those who barely felt it knew the earth had shaken. Even those far away felt the breeze cast throughout the world and thought it strangely warm.

At the center of that blast, that collision that was felt as much as any burst of a missiles fire, something far stranger had happened.

3/??
>>
>>29806776

One set of eyes stared in surprise, confusion, perhaps even a set of wonder. While any other watching would be nothing less than baffled, that set alone held such emotions in her eyes that were as alien as they were unwanted.

Only one set of eyes held nothing but a cold, emotionless gaze.

The set of eyes belonging to the one holding back her doppelgangers blow, and never wavering.

Muscles strained beneath the confused sight of a hoof that had bent so much, but could not twist this new foe, teeth showing as she began to grunt and exert even more pressure than before. Though the other wavered, she never lost her grip.

Nor did she miss it when the confused Titan roared, and lashed out with her free limb. She caught it, in sight, and very much in power when they clashed. Again, the world shook.

Again, both sides held and would not waver.

Locked in their grip, so very different in their reactions, the two Titans stared each other down, and both Queens pressed on until the earth itself seemed ready to split in two and break down the center from their bout.

Even so, neither would yield.

“…what are you?”

When one spoke, no one knew exactly what response she expected in turn.

It likely wasn’t the sudden, jerking headbutt to the front of her skull.

She was not moved.

“I said…”

With just as much force, her own head rocked forwards.

“What are you!?”

Her mirror image was never even moved. Despite how much it stung her head in the act, despite how much she could hear her ears ringing from the blow, there hadn’t been a single glance of pain on the other’s face, not even a flinch when the hit had connected.

“Answer me!”

The mirror changeling swung once more, aiming straight for the black cheek of her opposite, but the blow would never connect.

In a flash of green fire, the one who had spoken vanished.

“I said-“

4/??
>>
>>29806784

Her reappearance came with a sudden burst of size and a solid blow underneath her cheek. She lifted the other straight off the ground, high into the air, only to watch her land right back on all four limbs once more.

Yet again, there had been not a single expression on her face.

“ANSWER ME-“

The same could not be said for the look on her own face when she swung with a follow up, and in a flash of green fire the other vanished. She was left there, limb out and askew with her full weight throwing her balance to the wind.

Before her eyes, the impossible happened.

The doppelganger came back up. From a size so small she hadn’t noticed, and back to the full height to match her. Her waiting limb was effortlessly snatched up and pulled forwards into the waiting shoulder in front of it. She gasped when that soundless maw suddenly opened and snapped down on her free limbs, before she was letting loose a far louder noise when she was twisted and released, hurled through the sky with a strength she thought held by only herself.

She crashed back first into what had been a building in construction, another glorious addition to what had once been a sterling city, only for the vast majority to find itself with a fate the same as that buildings on. Crushed beneath powers beyond it’s compare.

“That… that can’t be… you can’t have-“

Of the many confusing things that could be said of the doppelganger and denied of their presumed fact, the one thing that couldn’t made itself abundantly clear when that shape suddenly bent low, darting forwards with an unnatural speed that seemed impossible for one of her size to even come close. Physics itself were defied and knocked away when that hoof lashed out.

What little remained of the construction was cast to the wind beneath the booming shockwave that spread out from the collision of the two limbs high above it’s remains.

“…so that’s what that feels like-“

5/??
>>
>>29806791

A sudden flurry knocked away that thought, and with it the second Titan herself, sending her tumbling back through the wreckage of the streets.

The sensation on the blackened chest was an odd one. Even odder considering that it had not been a hoof that had struck it.

Not a hoof, but the glowing red power oozing from the other Titan’s mouth. Wisps of powerful red light curled along her form, emanating from within the depths of her monstrous throat.

“Wha-“

The dazed changeling was never even granted a chance to question the new development before it hit her.

In the most literal, painful of ways.

“GAHHHH!”

The wash of red power slammed into her, pulling back her hair and face as it poured over her entire Titanic frame in a wash of heat and power. It hurt, rare as it was for the changeling to feel such a sensation, it truly hurt her to have that power slam into her.

Yet when it stopped, she remained standing. Short of breath, smoking from her hair and armor, but standing.

“So…that’s how… you want to play this?”

Her hoof swung to the side. Straight towards the center of the city, where the Tower of EVO Corp still stood.

“Fine.”

If by her call or other measures, it heeded her command. Blue magic, curling like an otherworldly mist, curled around her hoof, slithered up her limb like the serpent of eden, and came to rest in her open maw.

She gathered, and gathered, and gathered that blue magic until her mouth could open no wider, she could hold no more without breaking free her jaw, and with a roar of might she unleashed the fully power of the blue beam upon the hide of the one who had attacked her ally.

A red beam was called again to it’s defense, but no avail. It, and everything with it, was pushed back into the black hide of the changeling, bathing it first in a wash of blue before erupting into heated fires of crimson.

In the depths of that explosion, the Titan watched for any sign the strange creature remained.

6/??
>>
>>29806798

She gained it, and a feeling so cold, when it was not the blue of her magic or the red of the fire that she witnessed within, but a slow green fire that rose from the dirt and upwards until it reached the sky.

What lie within beneath that smoke took her breath away.

It might have done the same to the one within, had it any breath to give.

None were needed in the depths of the metal frame.

“By the hivemind…”

A metal beast towered where the changeling had stood before. Shining, untouched and unblemished outer casings around a smooth, streamlined body. No rivets could be seen, no, weak spot visible on the quadruped within the fires, no dents or a scratch one from their battle so far. The equine shape, sporting a massive horn on it’s head, kept the vacant stare of cold dead eyes, with only an artificial light of red behind them. It’s jaw opened and closed in rhythmic motions, it’s hooves spun back and forth to situate it further into the ground, and it’s massive frame hummed with power as it stood tall and unmovable in Celestia’s Sun.

“It looks like…”

The shape, now that she could see it clearly, was so familiar, so very familiar. If she’d been of a more paranoid sort, she would have made a thousand comparisons to the very sight she’d see in her own mirror, had it been more jagged, and with shining chrome metal instead of skin. The structure of the face, from the curve of the jaw along it’s edge to the strange curve of her horn all struck a memory with her.

Every seamless plate along it’s body, from the heavy armor on the front to the lithe wings on the back, felt so very familiar.

“…what are you?”

This time, an answer finally came. Not from the jaws that shifted open and closed, not from the metallic screech that rang out from inside a hollow maw, not from the unblinking eyes that would not stop staring into her.

An answer came, but she would never hear it.

“The one who has made you obsolete.”

>>29806806

It was lost in the depths of the machine, heard only by the one at it’s helm.

The earth pony, with controls strapped to every limb, who’s glare the Queen would never see.

“Status report!”

The frantic hooves in front of her slammed on the console as quickly as he could, scanning line after line of code for any sign of warning or cause for concern.

“All systems functional and normal, she held on without a single scratch from the attack!”

The mare smiled down at the pony, and all those like him scurrying about as they monitored every system, books floating or held in front by wing or teeth as they tried to understand the new area around them.

“Good… no damage to the internal skeleton?”

A quick scan, and even he didn’t believe it when he spoke to her.

“It’s… not even dented. Was she holding back?”

She believed it, the smile on her face made that abundantly clear.

“No… she didn’t.”

The Pegasus before her looked back, honest confusion on his face.

“Miss Pennydrop… what is this thing, exactly?”

Her grin turned wild when her hooves shifted. Inside, all felt as the machine around them moved in perfect tandem, not a single hint of latency between them.

“The future.”

He knew better than to question her after that.

“…miss Pennyrdrop?”

“What is it, captain?”

He winced, thinking of his poor airship in rubble not far away.

“Not much of a captain anymore-“

“If you’re just going to whine, shut up or get out and walk. I don’t care which.”

He started, heart racing at the thought, not a single doubt in his mind she would do just that.

“N-no ma’am! No whining! I was just wondering if… if the A-team, well, if you gave them what you gave us… without telling them, like the crew? I understand the need for secrecy and why you couldn’t tell us when he started…blowing stuff up, but ah, isn’t now a good time to… bring them in too?”

>>29806812

She could see his eyes darting around, to the various breathless and still quite stricken crew trying to prove their worth after the ordeal of the last few moments, she could see the hope in his eyes that her planning could grant those he'd come to enjoy the same salvation.

She simply dismissed him with a scoff, and a gaze that made it clear she would have waved him off had the hoof not been attached to a multi-ton war machine.

“Sadly, no. I didn’t manage to slip any teleportation infusions into their weapons or armors. I knew I should have forced them to have it installed in their molars...”

“I see…. Couldn’t you have just given them-“

One look, that was all it took to silence him.

“O-of course ma’am, you know best ma’am, watching all systems, ma’am.”

“Better.”

With that matter settled and rapidly pushed aside, she let her gaze flicker over to the tower that had held such grief for her.

“They’ve had ample time to escape by now. If they’re still in the building…”

Strangely, her gaze held no regret, or remorse.

“They’ll die as heroes…Mecha-Chitania, FULL POWER!”

The Titan didn’t hear a word of that. It had all passed so quickly, in the span of a single minute she’d spent sizing up her opponent, waiting for a move, watching to see if it had been felled or halted in it’s actions by her attack.

She didn’t hear a single word, but she heard it when the thing began to groan.

“Damn.”

Just like she heard another sound, one that nearly shifted her guard aside.

“DAMN IT CHITANIA, GET BACK HERE!”

The screech, heard across the battlefield though a voice enhanced by magic, that made her wobble with worry.

Only mere feet above them despite the massive height of the tower, two panicked eyes flickered back and forth between the metal creation and the Titan Queen, mind racing at the new development she’d never seen coming.

“Come back!”

9/??
>>
>>29806820

The changeling gave no call back, not a single roar, only a glance before she hunkered down.

“You don’t have to fight that thing! We can just ignore her! Just get up here, and then we can make you invincible!”

The Titan never moved from her spot, eyes square and solidly straight ahead. She did not call, she did not speak, but a voice came all the same.

~Continue working on it, this thing might be too much for the shields to bare. I’ll hold it off. It’s after me, not the building, not yet. If it’s a fight it wants… it’s a fight it will receive.~

A voice that emanated from her horn, her mind itself, and the connection they’d shared.

~You don’t have to do this! It’s almost done!~

A connection that worked both ways, of course.

~If it is almost done, then I shall not have to fight it long.~

~You don’t have to fight it at all! My shield can hold it back, I’m sure of it!~

~I’m unwilling to take the risk.~

~I can’t do the next part without you! Even if I get it up and running, I need you to be inside to signal the power line to open heaven’s gate!~

~I will be there, when it is needed. Not before.~

~Damn it, Chitania, it wasn’t even bothering with us yet!~

The line went silent for a moment after that. Not even the gentle hum of magic to tell of any link.

~…I-~

~Get him out of there.~

~What?~

She watched across the distance as massive eyes cut to the side, to a fallen building, a shattered remains, and somewhere nestled inside of it, something else entirely.

~Get him out, and heal him. Make sure the damage wasn’t too great. It would be a pity… to die like that.~

~I can’t…~

She could not bring herself to lie, not even for a matter so important as conserving the power they’d had left. So much had been used, wasted, it seemed a shame to use more still.

~They’ll see.~

~I don't care.~

10/??

>>29806829

All the same, the yellow hoof stamped down, another reached out, and as the aura surrounded her a reach far beyond that of any hoof stretched across the city. With this massive power, she and she alone could see the one soul still living on that ravaged city, the one tiny spot in a land that had been given to the battle of the monsters.

One tiny soul she used that massive power to reach, and bring back to her.

He appeared in a burst of white light, limp with every limb hanging low towards the ground. He was not moving, he was no longer even twitching, only the steady drip of red that dropped from his mouth told her that his heart still beat.

“…She would have come sooner, if I hadn’t kept her inside. I want you to know that.”

She swore she saw a shift, a single twitch of some kind, yet when time passed and no more followed it, she reasoned it must have been the wind.

With nothing left to fear, she opened up the door leading to her innermost sanctum, sent the dragon down the short steps to the floor below, and pushed on. Only when she felt a tug from another, of a machine grabbing hold of the drake for treatment, did she finally let go.

“Don’t worry… it won’t be in vain. We’ll-“

“itshitshitshitSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIShitshitshitsh…”

The sound that had stolen her heart, stolen her breath, stolen her sanity, had come and gone so quickly she hadn’t even gained a chance to close the door. She was left blinking, confused for only a moment, before she shrugged it off.

“What was-CHITANIA!”

She very much doubted the changeling could have heard her.

Even if somehow, the call had carried over the changelings pained roar, there was no hope it would pierce the wall of fire rising up in the sky.

Rays of magic poured from the eyes and mouth of the mechanical double, lightning fast blasts that crossed the expanse between them before she could dodge or move aside.

11/??
>>
>>29806834

The titan was no stranger to being struck by magic, she was used to being hit with the fury of a mages full might, yet this one was different.

This one sent her to her side on the ground, this one truly pained her when it struck, this one left burned marks on her side, scorches in her hair, dents in her chests armor.

This one, simply put, hurt.

“No, no no no no! Chitania! Chitania get up! Get back up! Fight already!”

Even as blast after blast poured onto her, she did just that. Against the rising wave of pain across her back and neck, she rose, and with a howl she leapt, crossing entire city blocks in a single bound of her movement.

Just as quick, just as uncaring for her change in size, the mechanized creation reared back, limbs clacking and clanging together as something shifted. The instant before twin black titanic hooves could touch the smooth steel, a whirring hoof snapped up, squarely striking the changeling in the stomach with a spinning blow that rocked her right back where she came.

Even breathless, the Queen’s warrior instincts took over. She rolled, all four hooves finding purchase in the ground and pushing off before another blast could reach her. She raced, any cover she briefly found herself behind there for only a second before being leveled to the ground beneath the things blast.

She ran, and ran, circling, ducking, weaving, always staying just a step ahead of the barrage, never letting her sight leave the metal monstrosity.

“It’s slowing down.”

Following it as the head turned slower, and slower every other time a blast was fired.

Following those cold dead eyes as the blasts became more frantic, spurting blindly whenever she hid behind any building she could find.

“All I have to do is hold out.”

Little by little, those red eyes were growing dim.

“And you will…”

She’d made a terrible mistake.

She hadn’t even thought of it, hadn’t even imagined it, but knew she’d made a terrible mistake.

12/??
>>
>>29806839

A terrible, terrible mistake when the robot suddenly stopped, and it’s head spun in a complete one hundred and eighty degrees.

Pointing itself square at the glowing building directly behind it.

“OH SHI-“

The unicorn’s words were drowned out beneath the shriek of magic as that glowing power poured from both head and mouth of the metal monster, unleashing everything it had straight at her.

Her shield, her finest defense ever created, rose to the occasion just as she knew it would.

Seconds later, she watched as every single one of the runs and generators that had given it such defense erupted, and it fell like she never dreamed it would.

“…impossible…”

There was nothing standing between the beast and her, not now.

“…o-okay, maybe it’s time to-“

Crick.

That one sound, that tiny, near inaudible sound, was somehow heard above the devastation. Somehow, even above the roar of fire and falling of buildings all around her, that tiny little sound somehow made it into her ears.

“RUN!”

Even above the resounding clang of metal when twin titanic hooves rammed right into the broad side of the machine, even above the metallic shriek it gave out and the sound of something like steel on flesh, even above the damage done to streets and buildings and anything beneath the gargantuan clash, she heard it.

When she heard that sound, when she saw the Titan in battle, when she turned her gaze to the top of the mirror, her mind had been made up.

~SUNSET!~

A voice screamed in her head.

~RUN, DAMN IT!~

She heard the call, but she would not heed it.

She cut it away, and her mind left silent.

“It’s time…”

Her hooves flew to the runes on the mirror and tapped and tapped away, even as the ceiling started to sprinkle dust all around her.

“DAMN IT SUNSET, RUN!”

She heard her request, but she would not turn away.

“Almost there, just a little more, just a little more, you’ve got this…”

13/??
>>
>>29806845

She would not stop as the glow in the core of the mirror began to swirl again.

“SUNSET FORGET THE DAMNED THING ALREADY, GET OUT OF THERE! RUN, DAMN IT! RUN!”

She heard her demand, but she could not stop now.

“Here we go, here we go…”

She held on when the building suddenly rocked with the force of another blow, but she would not be moved.

“SUNSET! RUN! GET OUT OF THERE! IT’S NOT IMPORTANT!”

The barest hint of a smile graced her face when she heard that, such a silly notion, such a silly thought, such a silly idea that she would be worried, even when another barrage suddenly closed in from the side, and knocked the changeling off course from reaching her.

That smile, faint as it was, vanished when she heard the roar of pain, real pain, from the one she’d thought untouchable.

“It’s alright…”

She bit her lip in concentration, eyes darting between the swirl of the mirror and the spire left dormant.

“Just a little more, and nothing can touch you. Just a little more.”

There was another booming sound, a call mixed with the sound of a massive chunk of what had once been a tall apartment building ripped free and cast towards the metal foe.

“SUNSET YOU IDIOT, RUN BEFORE THEY-“

More flashes, more pained sounds, a shadow passing in front of her vision to take the brunt of the force before being cast away.

She would not move from her spot.

“I’m going to make it work, I promise. I promised you, I promised, they won’t matter anymore when we’re ready. They won’t matter. They won’t even be able to touch you…”

Scream, boom, roar, eruption, in perfect harmony.

“I just need a little more…”

Her horn blazed with a renewed vigorous magic as the time drew near. In an instant, she was connected, one with the magic all around her on every wall and surface above and below.

Her eyes lit like stars in the night sky as she weaved her everything, her very being, into that spell.

14/??

>>29806850

“A little more… control.”

That’s when the glow came.

“Yes…”

The swirl of green magic twisting around within the core of the mirrors frame. Above, the orb pulsated with renewed power as it made its call to the world beyond. Throbbing, charged with magic beyond comprehension of even the most studious of mages, it moved.

It turned, twisted, shifted, until it aligned perfectly with her.

“Yeeessss…”

That magic grew.

“Just a little more.”

Her magic danced with a flurry it had never beheld before, a spellweaving that put all her other efforts to shame. Her creation, her grandest efforts, would not be stifled. Not now, not in the final moments. She poured her magic, her heart, and her soul into that spell.

She poured in everything to usher that green energy along those cables, and into the green obelisk of her attention mere steps away.

“Now, it can begin…”

The light inside the core of the obelisk beat with the rhythm of a heart. Gentle throbbing that illuminated the shape inside, a familiar one so very like the battling pair outside.

“Now… they all can truly know what you can truly be, what the gods should fear.”

She smiled as that portal expanded more and more, green flames inching closer to the edge of the frame with every second, distant calls of a thousand voices already whispering on the other side.

“Now, Chitania, show them… show them just how great.”

Beneath the sickly green glow of the light from beyond, she grinned.

“Show them just how great you truly are-“

“SUNSET LOOK OUT!”

That was the only warning she would gain.

The only call, far too late to be of use, she would hear before her whole world suddenly shook.

Rapid succession, one after the other, two blows rocked the building.

“What is tha-“

She only caught a glimpse. A single glimpse of shiny metal, of two pairs of wires, of two long cables that stretched out beyond. Out, out, out, all the way to their source.

She only caught a glimpse of the shining steel before it happened.

All at once, everything was taken from her.

The light surrounding her in every wall suddenly went dim. The blue hue faded away, taking every scrap of light with her.

The magic of the portal, so very close to completion, shrank until not a trace of green light was present on that mirror.

The power in the building itself, in every system, on every panel, went out in an instant, leaving it cold and deathly quiet.

Her creations, her hard fought magic, her months of work, all of it was ripped away from her grasping hooves, and not a single trace remained. In a single moment, everything had been taken from her.

Everything from around her, and inside.

“N-no…”

Her wobbling legs gave out under her, sending her face down into the floor. Weak, limp legs pawed at the ground, unable to truly find purchase. Her gaze had gone blurred and waving, having little to do with the tears in her eyes.

With every short breath, it hit her.

That thing, that mechanical monster, that unholy monstrosity, had truly taken everything from her. It should not have been possible, no machine on this earth should have been able to use the love magic refined for only the changelings or those who lived with their magic within like herself. It should not have been possible, yet the proof could not be denied, no matter how little sense she could make of it

With one fell swoop, her foe had taken everything from her.

Even her magic.

She’d been so connected to the spell, so interwoven in the very fabric of magic all around her, she’d never seen it coming. She’d never had a chance to cut it off, never a chance to pull it back.

Everything was just gone. The love that fueled her changeling spells, the unicorn majesty that gave her enchanting might, all of it was gone.

She was helpless.

“Not now…”

Helpless, unable to stand, unable to cast even a light to illuminate the dark room she found herself in, unable to do anything when the cracks started to appear.

“I was… I was so close…”

Her eyes laid on the green spire before her, still as inert and dead as it always was, growing less visible and more blurry with every passing second as moisture filled her eyes.

“…not now… not when I was so close…”

She felt the floor quake as more cracks appeared around her, mixtures of dust and smoke trailing up through every gaping wound on the surface of her proudest accomplishment. The building she had made, watched grow, created with such care, was falling apart around her.

“…I can’t fail, not now… I promised her… I promised…”

Everything was falling apart around her.

“I tried… I really tried for you… I wanted you to win.”

Without her magic, even her mind left her.

There was nothing left.

“SUNSET!”

Nothing save the one charging towards her, full speed, with a panicked gaze in her eyes. Nothing but the one coming to her, desperate to reach her as the building began to groan and lean, rising to save her just as she had before.

“…help me...”

The yellow hoof reached for that massive shape, growing larger as she neared.

“H-help me… please help…”

Pleading with a gaze she knew the changeling could not see, yet she never doubted she could feel.

“Hold on! Just hold still you fool! I’m coming! Just wait a damn moment longer I’m coming! I’ll get you! Don’t move, I’ll get you!”

17/20

>>29806878

She reached out, a ghost of a smile on her face as she grew bigger, and bigger in her sight. So close now, so close she could almost feel the chitin on her outstretched hoof.

“…I know you will… I’m so sorry… I tried, Chitty… I really tried…”

She cried, she smiled, she despaired, she was relieved. She was every emotion mixed in one, as the titan cleared the last few steps.

“We’re getting out of-“

All of those feelings vanished when everything was taken from her again.

She watched with blank, wide eyes as the flash went out, searing her vision, leaving behind a bloom afterimage that was as bright as it was painful, and she listened.

To the wail, a scream of pure pain and agony that rang out, a sound of hurt, a sound that made her heart sank faster than any stone ever could have fallen.

Yet, not as fast as the changeling Queen fell.

“Oh…”

She couldn’t bring up any feeling, any emotion, in the simple word she spoke when she watched the Titan fall.

“…oh…”

Outside, amidst the rubble of some building long since destroyed, the Queen staggered to her hooves, one of the four clutching the still burning eye that had been so despicably struck from the side. She fought past it, fought past the agony, the stream of blood and the blinding sting enough to force that eye open, just to ensure it still worked, just to make sure it was still in her head.

She would spend every moment after wishing she hadn’t.

With both eyes open, she could see every detail.

Every bit of crumbling dust, every bit of ashen stone, every bit of cracking rock on that building.

With both eyes, she could see the brilliant unicorn in the middle, watch as the pony looked on to her with a look in her eye that knew she could not possibly rise or move fast enough, and see with perfect clarity as the yellow hoof slowly lowered to the ground.

“…I’m sorry I let you down…”

18/20
>>
>>29806887

She wasn’t even granted a second. Not even a single second more of the last sight of the face she had grown so accustomed to, before it all fell down.

With both eyes open, she watched as the pony vanished from sight, and she witnessed the fall of the tower of EVO.

Nothing more than a hiss, a whisper of some unspoken word left her gaping mouth as she watched the final building crumble, she never turned her unblinking eyes away as she followed it all the way down. Sections crumbled,, walls fell to bits, spires of twisted metal that had once held it up so proudly jutted out from every angle.

With one final resounding shattering crash, it all fell down.

When the last piece fell, there was silence.

The last building in the city had crumbled, and left nothing but flattened destruction as far as the eye could see.

“…Sunset?”

She whispered, her voice lost in the wind that pushed the cloud of dust aside.

“Sunset…”

She spoke to the ruins, a twisted mass of metal spires and sharpened rocks.

“…Sunset…”

Her horn, on instinct alone, flickered.

She was not a master of magic, of spell and certainly not of mind, yet she tried all the same. She reached with that unrefined magic, reached with her mind and her calls into that rubble for any sign, any trace, any voice. Anything at all remaining strong inside.

“Sunset… Sweet Note… Flash… Fizzle…”

No voice, no sound, called back to her. Not in her ears, not in her horn, not in her chest.

“…Anyone…”

No voice to reach her, no voice to give her hope.

She was alone in her mind, once more.

“…any-“

It had been luck, nothing short. Luck that she had reached forwards, shifted abruptly and without warning towards the broken piles of the place she’d nearly called home, luck that she had reached out in vain with thoughts of moving any stone aside, just to see if any had a trace of life left in them.

Luck that she had moved forwards sudden enough, and quick enough, that the burning lance only stung the back of her neck with a searing pain before carrying on, off out into the plains around the city, and leveling them flat with the devastation the spear brought.

It had only been luck that all she had for their efforts was a slight cut on the back of her neck, and not a hole where it had been.

That had been it.

With the final crumbling of the last stone of her home, it had crumbled away.

Everything had crumbled away.

Even if the world could not hear her, the gods themselves would.

All of them would hear when she threw her head back and let loose the roar that shook the heavens.

It had all broken around her, it had all fallen.

She would break everything with it.

All would fall beneath the rage, of Queen Chitania, the Titan.
