First for Rarijack!

"I hurt myself... today..."
-Chitania circa thread 189

>>29807643
>Chitania is literally cursed

I mean I guess that's what happens when you piss off the gods.

>>29807640
Sorry guys, Chitty is pushing her way to the front this time!

>>29807643
Jesus it hurt too.

Just watching her call out for Sunset, desperately try to keep her safe and save her, and then the shot to the fucking eye.

New rule! Nobody good gets to go for the eyes, okay? Just fucking stop witht the eye shots, it confirms you're an asshole.

>>29807639
Yeeeaahhhhh, she's going to tear everyone a new one.

EVERYONE

>>29807681
>it confirms you're an asshole.

Pennydrop has always been like this. It just established her as someone who is going to get kicked in the arse for it later for all of us.

Soooo...

...anyone think Sunset & Co are honestly dead? Or at least, one of them? Worst of all for me is that there has been not a single peep from Thirteen. What the shit happened to her?!

>>29807743
Probably not, but that's less important than the fact Chitty THINKs she/they are dead.

13 is almost certainly loooooooong gone, Chitty wouldn't want her around during such a dangerous time and Sunset was honestly shocked when she thought seven was her

>>29807681
Sunset never stopped hoping, never stopped believing she would come to save her. Then tons of rubble smashed down on her.

Fuck. Me. This is must be like losing her first pony friend all over again for Chitty. And last time,she ripped someone's head off and spat into it!

OOCO
>AJ
"Celestia"
~~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"Is this your question?"

>That's an ace of spades.

"Is this your question?"

>Queen of hearts.

"Shoot, I'm afwul at this. Let me go get my book and see how it's done-"

>How's about instead Ah' make yer' hope of escape disappear.

"That one was clever enough I'll let you have a shot. Right on the chin, go for it."

>Ah' thank you. Mah' question is, have ya' thought about using hoofball games in order to boost revenue with stadiums and or concession stand profits?

"Yes, but I ascertained that while they provide entertainment for the masses, they also put a strain on local businesses who see little or negative business on game night and often cause damages that must be repaired in bulk when a game gets too rowdy or controversial. It's a wonderful passtime, but while it does put a strain on events and boosts our earth hoofprints, it's better to keep them out of big cities and away from small businesses."

>Oh.

"Did you expect something different?"

>Ah' didn't expect you to research it so much.

"I considered putting a stadium in Canterlot."

>Ah' see.

"Go Clipcloppers."

>FUCK YOU, BUFFALOSKINS RULE!

"That name is offensive."

>Yer' FACE is offensive!

Guess all Applejack is gonna arrive for is a gigantic crater where a whole city full of people of every race working together used to be.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Canterlot must be ever so delighted that project of acceptance failed.

>>29807756
>Sunset never stopped hoping, never stopped believing she would come to save her.

It only hurts because she really tried, she really tried and just fell short thanks to the shot to the eye.

Being Chitania is suffering.

>>29807803
What hurt ME, the reader, the most was Sunset's reaction when she realized she was going to die. That Chitty wouldn't make it. She didn't fear for herself, she didn't howl at the gods or cry. She just said, "I am sorry I let you down." before her end. The one, powerful line that implied she was willing to give herself up completely for Chitty.. that one line she had wanted to hear herself all her life... broke my heart.

>>29807790
Maybe but the "heroes" are going to feel like shit.

I don't think Chitty is making it out of this one in one piece...

>>29807837
>Maybe but the "heroes" are going to feel like shit.
A Team and Pennydrop went in there planning to, in the worst case scenario, kill them. Worat of all, they certainly still want Chitty dead.

They don't get to be called Heroes by my understanding anymore. The real heroes either stayed at home or fought and lost everything today.

>>29807834
That, to me, says this was as much about just wanting to make her current 'mentor' figure happy. She just wanted one time where her intelligence and her brilliance and her hard work finally paid offf and was acknowledged. Note that during this, she never once said SHE was going to be alll powerful and unstoppable, SHE never was going to be the one the gods feared, she just wanted one time when someone who gave her praise honestly made her feel like a success. Just one time with someone she cared about, and who cared about her enough to protect her as much as possible, and never neglect her.

I think, honestly, the worst part is Chitty knew that.

>>29807862
>The real heroes either stayed at home or fought and lost everything toda

OR are currently risking life and limb flying through a building under attack by an airship then later Mecha-titan in order to get their friends out of there in time.

Don't dismiss 7's bro-tier here, he earned it.

>>29807862
>Worat of all, they certainly still want Chitty dead.

They literally opened fire on her while she was trying to paw at rubble.

No shit do they want her dead.

>>29807879
7 does indeed not get put on the shitlist.

He can join Silver Spoon and Sweet Note over in the corner of "Too pure for this arc"

I never thought I'd see Chitty cry out for someone again. That huge butch was so utterly stoic and dead inside from her horrible past experiences that I genuinely believed she only acted selfish and mean because there was nothing else but cynicism left inside of her.

Good to see that we still found the last remaining bit of hope inside her to crush and stomp on.

She's just gonna lay down and stop moving for a long time after this, isn't she?

>>29807743
I hope Fizzle or at least Flash is. It's unlikely, but it would be great if they were.

>>29807906
Kinda simplifying her behavior, she wasn't exactly stoic most days, more bitterly happy, but holy shit that pic has never been more appropriate.

>>29807917
>Hopes Fizbro is

What?

Flash I kinda get, but Fizzle has been a damn allstar this arc. Shit, we even got to see him get protective of Flash and Sweet Note, and his internal thoughts when not-Chitty was breaking him were A-plus.

I NEED him to wake up and realize Chitty sacrificed her position and possible her all-powerful moment to go down and save him when she really didn't have to.

Just gonna pull this out of the archive and dust it off.

>>29807945
100 threads later, still relevant.

Goddamn being Chitty is pain.

>>29807906
>She's just gonna lay down and stop moving for a long time after this, isn't she?

Only if she's dead.

So 50/50

>>29807945
Oh that is a classic!

>>29807864
That honestly just makes Sunset all the more depressing. She genuinely believed that she was going to make Chitty give her praise and adoration, and she DID. Remember right before AUJ arrived? She was caring, attentive and downright happy.

Chitty's not going to stop until everything is dead. After she fights mecha-chitty she's just going to run up to the nearest living thing and kill it.

>>29807990
>After she fights mecha-chitty

I ah was never someone who watched Godzilla. How did fights between Godzilla and MechaGodzilla usually turn out?

>>29808009
...oh dear...

>>29808009
Round 1? Very, very badly. for Godzilla

Let's hope this counts for round 2.

>>29808009
Normally its a mixed bag, but since they just did a Anguirus homage...

This is going to end with a lot of blood.

>>29808009
Wow, I cannot find a youtube video of the full fight anywhere. You've failed me, internet.

>>29808079
>>29808079
Here you go, I used Kiryu as my main inspiration for Mecha Chitty so this should help a bit.

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

>>29808098
While that does show a good beatdown, that's from Godzilla X Mechagodzilla, Tokyo SOS, which is the sequel to Kiryu's movie.

More accurate would be the end of that movie where he uses the Absolute Zero Cannon on Godzilla and nearly kills him.

>>29808109
True, but I can only do so much from my tablet, I had everything I needed for reference on my laptop which I didn't get to pick up today cause something came up.

>>29808098
Which is funny considering how much they're referencing Showa...

>>29807917
Because they pounded DT?

>>29808124
I grew up watching every Godzilla movie, you have no idea how much joy I'm getting from everything so far! I even got to see that Godzilla vs Bambi bit they did in theaters.

>>29808138
You going to do Anguirus-Fizzle, Joe?

>>29808137
Ahhh, Fizzle. Could pound a little filly all day, but crumpled under a BBC.

>>29808147
I probably will, that scene was one of THE scenes that stuck with me, I'll never forget it. So being able to recreate it will be a real treat for me, I'll probably watch that movie before or after.

>>29808156
Big Bug Cutie?

>>29808185
Big Bionic Changeling.

Mecha-Chitty is piloted by Pennydrop and hence not a cute.

Also, holy shit i just realized PART ONE of his finale was 20 posts.

Goddamn.

>>29808235
KKA doesn't half ass it.

SPEAKING OF! Besides the fate of Sunsetcrew/Ateam and A/UJ enroute to the mixup, did he leave anything hanging? We got confirmation that the switch for heavens gate is tied to Chitty, we didn't see what it was but we know that the green thing is out of commission, and Pennydrop/Why Fizzle got a beat down was finally explained, what's he left hanging?

>>29808317
I actually can't think of anything left unsettled. The gate got closed thanks to Pennydrop's interventions, even if they're alive the Crew is out of omission thanks to nobody being around and intact enough to save Sunset(Fizzle was DAMNED fucked up and Flash/Sweet Note had already gotten stabbed repeatedly/crushed, no way were they fixed in that short time), the airship crew were with Pennydrop so they're okay, Chitty's the last mare standing out of all the combatants and it's just down to her and Pennydrop in Mecha-Chitty. Assuming 7 and the others made it out, all of them are out of commission(DT has no power left to the point she can't even jumpjet, Daw's wings are chunked up with ice and broken all to hell, Spike is still sporting a stab wound, PJ looks like freddy kruger played hot potato with a hand grenade, Silver Spoon is in comatose mode and 7 is trying to carry all of them) and there's really nobody else sane who could make a difference save 13, assuming she can take control of Mecha-Chitty though it's armor.

AJ is still on the way, but considering how far she was and the fact this all happened in the span of minutes, it's doubtful she'll make it before the end of the battle. So... yeah, they pretty much resolved everything except the final battle of RAGEEEEEEEEMODE Chitty VS Mecha-Chitty who just drained the ungodly powerful love out of the building.

>>29808337
Realmode, what could AJ possibly do to stifle Chitty's rage this late in the game?

This could be it! The moment!

>>29808337
Uhhh

You forgot about one... Hundred thousand or so other people

>>29806582

Yeah

What was the trap? How was it meanto to work? How was it meant to protect everyone? Was it the past or the future we saw? How did Discord delete it? I'm so very confused

>>29809176
Not the guy you were talking too but a time dilation devise usually slows down time within a localized area to a crawl. To everyone on the outside it would look like everything was going slow mo or even stopped all together. To everyone on the inside time would seem like normal but on the outside would be speeding along. The trap was meant to keep everything inside the area of effect contained in a state of super slowmo and give someone on the outside the time needed to solve the problem.

So Discord deleting it basically fucked any chance of long term containment and a chance to fix everything while the damage was still minimal.

Hoped this helped, also watch more Scify.

>>29809250
Yeah but we, through Discord, saw a pile of dead bodies, then the bodies were... Actually I dunno if the same dead bodies were going... back to... being alive... or...

Uhh

I don't think anyone save a handful of people actually know about it at the moment.
It might end up getting loose and going out into the world, causing problems that the main cast will have to deal with. Probably one of the status quo changes. We'll see soon enough.

Anyways, Chitania's about to go H.A.M. on everybody.

In 9 hours or so I will be back home from work

There I will write Celestia and Luna catching notice of /something/ horrible beyond doubt happening /somewhere/, say, a hundred thousand or so souls screaming in abject horror to a familiar yet warped voice

Maybe some mental link, maybe some magic sense, I do not currently know

They will go and fly in the direction of this horror, which just so happens to be in the contrails of AJ's angerball airship

I do not know what they will see when they get there, not in the least, this arc throws too many curveballs for me to make a judgement call

But I won't suffer another apnea riddled night's sleep wondering when the two ponies with the most responsibility to the people of Equestria will show up in the Condolence Conga Line after this constant beatdown of an arc has ended

I will not sit idle, I will not let them sit idle

I am no grand writer,not even a good one, nearly all of my work is either NC'd, painfully basic even in the most dramatic of scenes, or collapses in a failure to follow it up.

But I will batter myself bloody to get somepony outside of this arc to atleast make an effort to get to this carrion-feed city

Does anyone think they can do better than me? Beat me to the punch?

Cos you're more than welcome to do so

>>29809792

My proposal: have them notice Discord is gone. A force of nature like that disappearing must register on Faust's direct descendants. I mean, they both have been shown to occasionally have prophetic sreams/visions.

At the very least Fluttershy, who is extremely intimately bonded to him, would feel SOMETHING. Build up on that!

>Those stories about how Sunset would punch through into the portal world

Ha

Hahaha

Whyyyyyyyyyyy did you build it up only for the Robo Chitania (Who I totally thought was the Fizzle smashing Chitty but was thrown off by the perfect outer disguise;seriously why bother with that all that'd achieve is shit loads of blue-on-blue fire) to just *plonk* and wank the mains out.

Come on you telling me there wasn't a single backup generator just in case?

>>29810827
>backup generator just in case?
Either that was supposed to be Blue Luminescence or it seriously fucked with it. And not only that. MechaChitty was SOMEHOW able to absorb every bit of love magic from the tower, including Sunset's, who was linked to it. Even of there was an backup, Sunset was like Shining Armor during the wedding. Too drained to do anything.

>>29810827
>Come on you telling me there wasn't a single backup generator just in case?

>Backup generator
>That also held NINE MONTHS worth of love sapped from ALL OF EQUESTRIA

Oh yeah

Why didn't she just buy one at Clop Depot.

Fucking shortsighted is what she was

>>29810878
>Blue Luminescence

Ohmahgerd, you actually called it Blue Luminescence, I'm so "eeeeeeeeeee" right now.

>>29810878
BL was something else entirely.

Love=opens the portal with the Orb and leads to the Hivemind

BL=opens the other side of the portal with the dream stone and leads to heaven.

Apparently the Hivemind power was supposed to go what's inside of the green obelisk, then Chitty does something to make the computer think she's gone, unlocks the power line leading to BL, and then the gate to heaven is opened.

It's remarkably well detailed.

So is no one else freaked out that Mecha-Chitty can use titan magic?

I mean that's kind of a thing.

She fucking used titan magic when disguised as Chitty.

The fuck

>>29811010
Eh, save the complaints till the finale is done and done and done

Lord knows I've got plenty

Well Mecha Chitty IS built on the skeleton of her mother... So they might be inducing the change through the bones if they haven't replicated it themselves.

Right

Halfway through writing this, I realise I don't know dick from arse from elbow about where the fuck Jetset is and what he's up to

And frankly I'm just going to ignore him cos this is enough of a headache as is.

this is gonna suuuuuuuuck

>Celestia
“Luna”
‘???’
[???]

Celestia never really felt it coming, a moment she was sat at the table, alongside Luna, that things would… recover, following the rather loud noise of something Applejack related.

“You sure this will get any better”

Luna was less enthusiastic about prospects.

>Well, we can always step in, if you really want to

“…”

Silence fell, whatever had happened, it had to be Applejack to resolve it, Celestia often panged for intervention, but she was also worried about how it would pan out, let disaster strike or overcompensate?

“…Celestia..”

It didn’t matter, she supposed, Equestria would struggle on, she and all the other Princesses would work towards a better future, it’d be fine, it’d wor-
“Cel..”

Then it hit her, she only briefly looked with puzzled expression at Luna’s sudden grimace when a sudden, cold noise filled her mind, slowly, quietly at first. Enough time for the two to look to the window, looking out towards…

>”..M-“

They never registered their mouths opening, or even what they tried to say, before a cold howl roared with the ferocity of a gentle snowfall.

She couldn’t breathe, her skin felt pallid, Luna was shaken from her seat, her hooves stumbling on the hard unyielding ground, this wasn’t right, she couldn’t see straight and she struggled to think as she struggled to even process the… noise that echoed in her head.

Celestia heaved, she clambered down, struggling to the window, it was luck that she found Luna, who was already worse for wear than her and shot out a hoof onto her back, drawing her in instinctively. The air felt thick, stale and unmoving yet cold like something that had never been touched in years,

She couldn’t hear anything, she could barely see Luna, so she held onto her, the darker alicorn returning the hold desperately as they bared the sound together…

1/?

>>29811362
Mourning, anger, loss, confliction, confusion… The two sisters clutched onto each other as the howl rang in their minds, it felt wrong, like a wounded animal, someone in pain, a cry of horror and fury from numberless mouths before melting into one single bitter scream.

Celestia could not turn her head away from the window; the horizon… did not change, but something moved, something flashed. A distant pin of light that was not really there grew and then dissipated. Deep down within Celestia something long forgotten stirred into recognition, her mind raced as it tried to recognise it, a millennia of life uninterrupted asked questions and only fragments of answers.

Luna couldn’t look, her head buried into her sister’s chest, this cacophony burnt her, she couldn’t understand it, and she felt chided, scorned and reassured all at once by an unknown thought that rattled in her head. A bloodshot eye snapped open and caught a glimpse of the world beyond the window frame; she saw something, a dull flash of light. She blinked, and the flash followed through her eyelid before simply… not being there as her eye refocused.

That noise, that terrible malaise of raw emotion that roiled through the Alicorns like a cold emptiness and burning cacophony finally sputtered out with a crescendo, a strangled yell before the silence deafened them.

They held that weak pose, both of them gasping in air as their ears readjusted, Celestia felt her hooves, felt her sister. They broke apart as though something had caught them, then they stared at each other.

“…Celestia…what…was…was that…wha…”

She shook, she had never felt more afraid in her life, small, scared and weak, eons of unpleasant memories surfaced to her.

>I...

Celestia could only mouth wordlessly, she struggled to comprehend it all, she knew this… but she was hopelessly lost in it as well.

“…I’m scared”

>Me too… that…

“…”

>Luna… something terrible has happened.

2/?

>>29811382
The two shaken alicorns were stood still, as another sensation began to build in them. They could feel it in their hooves- No, they didn’t feel it through their hooves, they felt through what COULD be their hooves. They felt the stuff of unbound potential, a sense of power both limitless and feeble rolled past them, conflicting and confusing and disorganised and repeating and ending and coalescing and flying and running and

“Is this… This is Discord… isn’t it?”

That scream, that yell, it did ring familiar, they had heard it before

The first time, that …voice rippled with sardonic mockery as it was sealed away, the buzz and hum and pantomime of chaos that whirled with it festered and wilted, almost as though it had been interrupted.

The second time, they had felt it ring with an aura of shock, the tide of noise rippled about with feigned extravagance, it had been caught unawares and shifted accordingly, yet it knew what had happened.
But this time…

>Discord… what…?

That voice was strangled, struck down, caught more than unawares, it had been filled with a single, resounding emotion from the menagerie of chaos it could choose from.

Fear

The… buzz and song of chaos clattered past them, lost and confused, fleeing from made up maladies that sprung and chased their own tail, yet the power was cut from its host, unused, it spiralled away into self-defeating madness and anguish.

It didn’t pain them, not like the horrid howl that preceded this, but as long as they could feel it, they felt sick to the bone.

“…Sister, we need to… we need to find him! He must be behind this!”

She couldn’t shake her head to her, she was right, but she didn’t truly believe her.

>I… This isn’t just him, it’s… it’s someone else.

“Who?”

>I-I don’t know, it could be one pony, it could be… a trap… or a thousand ponies. I cannot…

3/?

>>29811394
No, she knew, yet she could not remember, something stirred that was far more familiar to her than Luna, the poor girl had been cast from the earth for a thousand years, she couldn’t understand.

>…Mother

“...Mother?”

They simply stared, the horizon unchanged, that light they saw simply wasn’t there… maybe it never was… But it was real, they felt it, they felt something… Something close, something wrong.

>Luna, we have to go

“What if it’s a trap? Discord’s doing?

>Didn’t you feel it? There’s something else… something we know of, if we felt it…

They craned their necks, outside the window into Canterlot, they spied upon a single solitary guardspony on watch, he made no move, no motion out of line, nothing out of the ordinary

“…Just us”

>… I can’t… if it is..

“Mother?”

>It can’t be but-… we have to go, we have to see for ourselves

“…We’re her children, she would never-“

>Luna, this is not like her, and with Discord too…

No more was said, despite everything, every sense that told them to run from… a terrible anger… They had to go, they didn’t know what
they’d find, for good or for ill. But they would go regardless

“... If this is a trap-“

>I know, the guard can keep Canterlot safe, I know they can

Magic was summoned to their horns, even now their skin felt… wrong…

A moment passed, then another, then an-

FLASH

‘OOF!’

[OW!]

[Hnnn, is that you, Pommel?]

‘…Yes, you’re on top of me, please get off’

>Pommel, you must rouse the guard, be on alert

‘Princ- what? What’s happening?’

“Star, you summon the guard for Canterlot, you must keep it safe”

[I uhh- Highness?]

The two captains looked at the two sisters, what they saw worried them. Haggard, uncomposed, and with expressions of unsettled anguish on their faces.

4/?

>>29811400
>Captains, I am truly, truly sorry we cannot tell you why you’re being asked of this

“We do not know what threat is upon us, even if it is upon us”

>We do not know where it is, why it’s there, or how dire it is

“But… we must leave, we will go after it, we promise we won’t simply abandon Canterlot”

>…Pommel, I wish I could explain it all. But I am just at a loss as you are

‘I…I…’

Rouse the guard? An unknown threat? The Princesses absentia? What was going on?

‘I.. Yes your highness, we won’t let you down

[Princess Luna, we won’t fail you]

This was no test, this was genuine, it was… after all this time, what they had prepared for, even if it was nothing in the end then it showed that they were ready for anything.
Two salutes were thrown up, and small acknowledgement was given, just two curt nods and a slightly pained smile from Luna

It was enough.

Two bursts of magic rattled the guardsponies, as Celestia and Luna vanished from their sight.

[…That was sudden]

‘I should feel like getting teleported away from the screaming Griffon Queen is a bad thing overall, not professional and all that...

[So it's just us holding down the fort]

‘Yeah… Shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Above them, on the rooftops, two alicorns stood and stared into the mysterious distance, whatever it was, they’d find it, they had faced down terrors and horrors before. With the help of so many wonderful ponies they could best anything.

But if this truly was who they feared it to be so…

>… Luna, it’s alright to be scared

“… She knows you better than me, you were her fav-“

>Luna! Please… we have to keep our composure

“Okay… Alright… I’m calm”


Unspeaking, they unfurled their wings and took flight, off into the unknown.

…It wasn’t difficult, they felt where this trouble was, they would simply go straight to it.

That and the angry airship contrails provided a good visual reference too

Tha's usually the time KKA or whoever updates the arc, from what I've seen over the past few days

Or at least that's the apnea waking me up and I just check my phone and bam there it is

>>29812655
Woe!

>>29812857
And worse.

That's a very specific time frame, what are you up to?

>>29811407
I know we're trying to go easy but I hate stuff like this.

>>29812896
...What do you hate?

>>29812901
I hate stuff like this and the AUJ "OH MY GOSH!... SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!" DIvination of problem issues. I really tried to ignore it with AUJ not because it got AJ in, but because that's her portal, and her problems only happened when they messed with it, the INSTANT they messed with it and went away when Spike shot it. I hate that thing, but I forced myself to accept the story sense of "Messing with the portal is bad."

But this is literally "Yeah, that shit that's been going on? NOW it affected her. Why?...I have no idea, the Discord thing happened like two threads ago and time passed. But NOW there's some kind of signal spell from totally-legit-feelings that warned them because now it's important and off they go to find the important thing, because they're important and when you're important you just KNOW and go to it, it's a special sense that never ever comes up unless we need it to!"

I hate, hate, hate that plot device. I hated it when Discord was like "Oh I have this map that warns of this but just didn't see it, whoopsie!" and I hate it now because it's just 'The main characters couldn't MISS something, could they!? Surely nothing IMPORTANT could possibly happen without the main characters knowing, so lets give an alarm bell to their brains to tell them because reasons. Our main characters will always just KNOW when something important is happening and rush to the scene!"

I hate divine shit like that, it's the worst call to action ever. Might as well have had god come down and point there.

>>29812942
Over the last two threads I was in the belief that the Three would weave in a hook for the most magically "powerful" to catch wind of what was going on ala AUJ.

When that proved not to be the case I realised I had to get the two main princesses into this.

Two/three good reasons

1. Shit load of ponies getting murked through soul suckage is likely going to produce a hefty magic feedback
2. Discord goes kablamo unlike anything they've felt before
3. Fucking Equus/Mom/Bloople, how the fuck wouldn't they; the two most powerful and magically atuned, not get a sense of something going up with Momma is beyond me.

They've got connections, emotional and """lore""" wise for them to at least be closer to the scene than anyone outside of the arc, they don't know what's going on, only that it involves Discord and Possibly-Maybe-Faust, who else has the most hookes into either of those, eh?

They're not going in cos uwu main characters, they're going in cos they have links and responsibilities for all that's involved.

If you don't like that then fine, but I ain't NCing it so I have to twiddle my thumbs and then join in the post-arc scrum for Celly and Luna.

Unless you can do better, go on

>>29813003
>Over the last two threads I was in the belief that the Three would weave in a hook for the most magically "powerful" to catch wind of what was going on ala AUJ.

But them not makes it way worse when we decide to add one later, the delay is what makes this so blatant and everything I hate about how to do a call to action in a story.

>When that proved not to be the case I realised I had to get the two main princesses into this.

Okay, why?

If they don't have any reason for to be called and there's ONE STORY LEFT and they're still not called, why? Why did you have to get them into this? What, exactly, does this add besides a hasty "No no, if something important happens, they'll just know, you know? They're main characters and literally a giant voice from nowhere will tell them because they're important."

>1. Shit load of ponies getting murked through soul suckage is likely going to produce a hefty magic feedback

That apparently travels slower than horse-running speed across distances.

>2. Discord goes kablamo unlike anything they've felt before

And nobody notices until way later, but THEN it's serious.

>3. Fucking Equus/Mom/Bloople, how the fuck wouldn't they; the two most powerful and magically atuned, not get a sense of something going up with Momma is beyond me.

Because it's been forever and nothing happened. If it was 'they'd sense it if something happened because they're divinely intuned' then we need to actually show them sensing it at some point before it's so hammer-thwacking painful to the narrative to shove it in. Why would it be that strange that they wouldn't know it? That something magical happened and well, it just didn't set off a hitherto unexplained node in their brain to tell them? Again, it's just this one time, it's never happened before, but now that it's narratively convenient BAM! It matters now!

1/2

>>29813089

>They've got connections, emotional and """lore""" wise for them to at least be closer to the scene than anyone outside of the arc,

No, they don't! They have some connections to it thematically but nothing in the show indicated they can just tell when Discord is affected by anything and this damn glowing thing has been found, contained, released, gone on a rampage and then stopped by Discord, and then NOTHING for like six battles worth of time period and then out of the blue 'My gosh! We've got a place to be! The thingy in my head said so!'

>They're not going in cos uwu main characters, they're going in cos they have links and responsibilities for all that's involved.

No, they're going in because out of the blue a giant noise came down and told them to do it because they're 'important' and if you're important things just tell you to go to the story when it's convenient instead of any sort of setup and establishment connection.

>If you don't like that then fine, but I ain't NCing it so I have to twiddle my thumbs and then join in the post-arc scrum for Celly and Luna.

I don't want you to NC it, I'm just saying I hate the way the call to action was executed, and I hate how blatant it all was. I'm not asking to get rid of it, I'm just pointing out how bad it is to use as a valid plot element when it's literally a convenient alarm bell with no connecting event to set it off.

As I said, this plothook is the worst for me, but I at least respect it when it establishes something else in the story and shows consistency with prior events and utilizes proper timing. I'm not knocking you, I'm saying that for the love of god, let this be the last time we freaking put a damn random bell inside of someone to tell them when something is going on just because we can't be arsed to actually setup some proper story development.

>Unless you can do better

I could do better, but all you wanted was faster.

>>29812800
Mwhahahahaha!!!

How do you think I feel!?

>>29813089
>until way later
You have any idea how screwed time advancement has been since this arc picked up pace?

>>29813100
It's been a week in real life! Even if you argued that time was wonky in story, there's been several large and very major events that took a long time to write in between it. We've literally had several homages to giant monster movies play out in between this.

>>29813096
>we can't be arsed to actually setup some proper story development.
I'd love that to be the case but with the entire arc hinging on three people it's kinda champing at the bit at some point.
>>29813112
YES! A WEEK! I WAS CERTAIN WE'D GET MORE CHARACTERS PULLED INTO THIS! BUT THAT TURNED OUT TO BE NADA!

I fuckin said I wasn't hot shit with writing, if anyone else can come along and slap my story to shit with how it SHOOOULD be done then fucking go ahead!

You got around 4 or 5 hours! Go ahead!

Cos I ain't seeing anyway of """fixing it""" for you, like cracking a goddamn nut with your bare hands trying to get into this arc-zone

>>29813130
>YES! A WEEK! I WAS CERTAIN WE'D GET MORE CHARACTERS PULLED INTO THIS! BUT THAT TURNED OUT TO BE NADA!

So then why is it important now, is my question. Why now? What's different NOW? Why do they HAVE to be there if the only way to do it is the equivalent of the bat signal being turned on at the wrong time by an intern?

>I fuckin said I wasn't hot shit with writing,

Alright? Was that supposed to mean 'don't critique me'? I mean if you want I'll stop, I've said all I wanted to say about how it was used, but just saying "I'm bad at this" doesn't mean I'm going to just go "Well if he said he was bad..."

> if anyone else can come along and slap my story to shit with how it SHOOOULD be done then fucking go ahead!

Okay then, just a suggestion, but why not just include them at the end? After the one last story that is the end of this arc, I mean. Why not just use the narrative and include them naturally when it would make the most sense for them to be called to it?

>You got around 4 or 5 hours! Go ahead!

...Okay, KKA? Is that you? Are you saying the last part is dropping in five hours? If so, yay, but also if so holy shit man come on, you're better than that. It's a bad plot element, it's a serious flaw in the story, and this is the time to address it, no need to be angry about it. I realize that it's possible your finale needs them in some capacity but that doesn't mean it's going to be just accepted for a last minute change to the story to fit it, you could have fit it in.

>Cos I ain't seeing anyway of """fixing it""" for you, like cracking a goddamn nut with your bare hands trying to get into this arc-zone

So leave them out of it if it's so damn important!

>>29813177
>Okay, KKA? Is that you? Are you saying the last part is dropping in five hours?

No and GOD no, this huge thing is taking forever...

>>29813177
>After the one last story that is the end of this arc, I mean. Why not just use the narrative and include them naturally when it would make the most sense for them to be called to it?

Because of the scrum, post arc, everyone and their mother would be pulling in characters from across the board to React and Act on the events of the arc, I wanted to get Celestia and Luna in closer and with direction so that they'd get first shot and ownership of whatever happened at the end.

"Yuh huh."

>Two, I promise, there isn't a shark in there. He couldn't fit.

"There's a shark."

>I promise you, there's not. Would i tell you to go in if there was?

"Iffin' ya' thought he wasn't there, then yeah! Ya' just don't know about him!"

>Because it's not there.

"Fine, then you go inside!"

>Fine, you know? Fine.

Cool. About time they flexed their author at I've muscle. I am all for it... just... ah... a small hint? Let them discover things bit by bit. Let them be actual princesses. Let them push it solving what happened and clean-up... and mmmmmaybe....? Don' poke Blue Luminescence yet. People like one levity after such a huge arc.

I mean, if you poke BL to establish something, that's cool... just realize that it would set things into motion that change status quo instantly and not over a multi-thread, moth-long arc.

Is that alright with you? Because we ALL could work with that.

>>29813196
March on, soldierboy. You are close to the finish line. We're all counting on you.

So what'cha gonna do after this arc? Get pissdrunk, not write for a month and lurk for a while~?

>>29813569
You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Or, if you did believe me, you'd think I was all kinds of straight up fucking bonkers and maybe needed to go see the nice people in white coats before something got crazy.

>>29813771
>why did spike nuke a building?

...what.

Okay, I have no idea how you got that one but I'll be happy to answer the next part!

>Current Conflict

Chiitania in ABSOLUTE RAAARGABLE mode VS Pennydrop piloting Mecha-Chitania hopped up on the Towers worth of love power.

>Who's where?

Those two aside, A-team's and Sunset-Crew fate is unknown, they were in the building before it got brought down around them, but we watched Sunset was still inside of it while it fell. Or rather, Chitty did, hence the BLAGRBABAHH mode.

The team/crew might've gotten out, might not, we don't know yet.

>>29813801
He called for pennydrop to glass the building didn't He?

Por que? That's pretty extreme even him

>>29813801
Also, i got who's fighting but why? What's at stake? The orb? Or is that busted?

>>29813809
>Por que? That's pretty extreme even him

She was literally opening the gate to Changeling-Hell and he couldn't stop her in time, and since 7 was pinned nobody else could either. Either Pennydrop turned the thing to ash or everyone's fucked.

>>29813816

>But why?

Currently Chitty is trying to rip apart the one who just killed Sunset and her friends and made her lose everything for the second time in her life, and Pennydrop is trying to finally finish off the villain who's haunted her since thread 16. So, emotionally, pretty damn high stakes.

>What's at stake?

Heads still being attached to limbs and Chitania in "KILL EVERYTHING" mode.

>The orb? Or is that busted?

It was cracked when Spike shot it, but repaired by Sunset. If Pennydrop hadn't drained the building at that exact moment, the portal would have opened. It damn near DID open, it was wide enough she could hear it, but PD managed to stop her with Mecha-Chitania.

>>29813845
Thanks, I think that about gets me up to speed on the immediate situation.

>>29813845
>So, emotionally, pretty damn high stakes.
Emotionally? I want you all to think about what will happen if the metal version loses. Do you think she's just going to stop right there? She's going to go on a nonstop mindless rampage unseen since the last time some one got genocided!

>>29814005
>Everyone is depending on Pennydrop to win

Things have gone wrong

>>29814061
...maybe she'll lose and AJ will save the day?

>>29814061
>Things have gone wrong

Remember this arc, lads. It's the arc when the good guys become the bad guys and they finally win.

>>29814097

Sending an asshole to fight an asshole doesn't make the first asshole any less of an asshole.

"Not shoot Chitania in the eye? Ah' mean... what was Sunset gonna do, pull another nine months of supercharged magic out of her ass? Didn't have ta' kill her and ALSO mah' A-team. Ya' realize they were in there. Ya' commented on it. Couldn't ya' just not shoot her? Like, there's yer' option B, not shoot the monster ignoring you to go save someone."

>Look, sometimes you have to make a permanent solution-

"Even when it'll send the giant monster into a pissed off rampage."

>...look, I spent nine months making this stupid thing, I'm gonna use it.

"You might have killed us all."

>But it will look AMAZING before that.

"She literally wiped a town out last time this happened, and Ah' think you managed ta' piss her off more."

>Right, so the fight is going to be siiiiiiiccckkk.

So, without further ado... some reaction to your actions, buddy.

>Pommel
“Potsticker”
~~

Canterlot was unusually calm and quiet on this day.

Citizens and visitors alike went about their business without noticing any significant change, filling the streets with noise, activity and a pleasant buzz of words and noises flying around. But, below the surface and to those observant enough, it was obvious something was happening. Somethign was changing.

The guards usually patrolling the streets in pairs on the streets were gone. The occasional glimpses of dark shades peering out of the gloom of the city's shadows, keeping it safe while the plainly visible guard usually invoked a sense of safety were nowhere to be seen as well. All but a select few, an absolute skeleton crew meant to maintain the usual order, were gone from the streets, hallways and chambers all across the city of white. Canterlot was busy as usual, but something was changing.

At two different gathering places within the castle's many hallways, containing two wildly differing kinds of Guards, things were beginning to change.

~~

>Alright. ATTENTION! Listen up everybody, this is serious!

Even as the Pommel spoke, cosmetic armor was exchanged for practical ones, stallions and mares alike donning gear meant for combat and not for show. Spears were hefted up, swords sharpened, parade weapons and gear meant to merely subdue put away for later.

~~

“Due to circumstances they couldn't further elaborate on, the princesses are both gone and have left us with the solemn duty to protect Canterlot, and to a degree Equestria as whole, in their hopefulyl brief absence.”

Once more, Potsticker had dropped her cheer, play and fooling around to assume the role of the Captain of Luna's Guard. Her voice was solemn, her eyes were sharp. Shades all around her were upgrading their gear, pushing magical scrolls into holsters of armor that was both flexible and meant to take more than just a glancing blow.

~~

>>29816600


>They appear to be facing a new, unknown threat or problem, and have gone to investigate. They asked us to hold the fort meanwhile... but that doesn't mean we have to sit idle and wait for things to happen!

The youngest recruits looked uneasy, shifting on their hooves, nervosity plainly visible. The most veteran, seasoned and loyal of the Guard – those who had remained even many others resigned months ago- gave them reassurances through whispered pep-talk. They themselves were trying to appear as stoic as possible, but one could sense an air of tension even around them.

~~

“Keep calm. Stay vigilant. Be prepared. Don't let anyone outside the Guard notice something's happening. Inform who you must, but keep a firm vigil and do not let the fact that we are on high alert shine through. Keep an eye open for any unusual changes, for anything out of the ordinary!”

Amidst the many, batwinged ponies all around, a singular, young Changeling bit his lip, wobbling in place as one of his senior's fastened the custom-tailored armor to his small frame. Over at the entrance, Shades regularly disappeared and re-appeared in puffs of blue smoke, collecting intel and data from around the city and Equestria even as Potsicker spoke.

~~

>You see someone acting erratically? Investigate! You have a suspicion? Confirm it! You see something out of the ordinary? Even if it's just a differently-colored tile on the marketplace? Check it out! Do not go alone, always bring someone with you, and keep up everyone informed. This is SERIOUS. Do not take our responsibility lightly!”


2 / 3

>>29816602


The rows of securityrobots listened, silently and unmoving, only the occasional, internal click or glimmer of light hinting that they were active at all. But they weren't idle. Those few of them still outside, patrolling the streets, were contacted through their sophisticated network and updated on the situation while others planned new routes to patrol to cover as much ground as possible.

~~


“We don't know what's coming, and when it will be here, if at all. But be ready, be prepared. Remember not to antagonize or alarm any of the citizens. Review emergency, evacuation and High-Threat response plans, and MEMORIZE them! Never forget that our highest duty is to serve and protect!”

A line of wobbling, blueish orbs at one end of the meeting room were supervised by some Shades. They depicted Canterlot's streets and the Castle's hallways from many, inconspicuous angles. Without a sound or command, they flicked from viewpoint to viewpoint, establishing a surveillance network that hadn't seen proper use in a long time.

~~

>Remember, we are Equestria's finest!

~~

“We are the sword and shield of the princesses!”

~~

>So go out there, and make Equestria proud. For them. For us.

~~

>”FOR EQUESTRIA!”

~~

Something was in the air in Canterlot on that day.

An electric tension, ready to discharge at a moment's notice. Everyone could feel it. Everyone knew something was changing.

But then, a smiling, gold-clad Guard or a gleaming security robot passed by and whoever had been feeling insecure moments ago relaxed again, going went about their day and never noticing the shifting of shadows observing them moving away to another spot within the city.

Both Celestia's and Luna's Guard were ready to keep the peace and make Equestria a safer place for everyone.

"Can ponies do that?"

"Oh, good, that gives them even less sense to leave us unattended."

>I can't argue that. But they do look dapper.

Jesus fuck, go write your own shit then I give up. You guys are literally the whiniest, most unpleasable bunch of jerks I've had the displeasure of writing something for. And worst of all is that you suck too much at this to get it done yourself!

>>29817616
Christ I'm sorry about, but I don't know who you're referring to here!

>>29817616
>And worst of all is that you suck too much at this to get it done yourself!

Ignoring for a moment that you actually got more positive reception than negative on both stories, and that the main problem was a very valid one the guy explained very well, buddy? You consider that maybe the problem was that despite the guy being very open about working with him and allowing others emailing him(Including providing said email to use at any time), you just assumed he was going to cram in the MC's at the last minute?

We're not unpleasable, we get pleased all the time, but if a story has a bad element, it has a bad element, you can't both expect to change the course of an arc/arc's followup and also be completely shielded from critique. We didn't offer KKA that luxury when we thought he wrote the Discord bit, and we don't offer it now. Nobody is excluded from "Wait a minute this makes no sense.

>>29817667
If you're referring to the guy what wrote in the Princesses that was me, and I am not >>29817616 at all, so I dunno what he wrote, did he write the guard follow up? The gryphon follow up? I don't know!

>>29817679
Oh.

Well, I apologize in that case, it just seemed from previous comments that frustration was building. Understandable. I doubt he wrote the griffon followup though, since the only comment there was "Rude".

>>29817616
Listen we can work things out, just tell us who you is? What didja write? What's the problem?

You know what. Nevermind. I'll just go and come back later, and ask someone to spoonfeed everything that's happened while I was gone. Seems to be a trend.

>>29817986
>kind of shit is meant in God humor, you jackass! It

It is.

>t's one thing to make fun of things happen in in a story,

Which is what those do.

>Is just such a giggling, snarky bullshit directed at the effort someone made to develop thing

Right, because the story is supposed to be snarky and silly, like when we take potshots at the show.

>I hate the atmosphere.

Kay? It was just a silly story making fun of the guys who forgot about the griffons completely when Celly and Luna were running to them, then they grabbed Pommel.

>You are taking this shit way too fucking serious and are starting to make it unpleasant for everyone else just trying to have fun here!

We don't usually hold high standards when you're just trying to be silly and have fun, only when you're trying to be serious and affecting the plot. I mean if you want to have fun, have fun! What the fuck? It was a humorless story about how the guards are all getting ready for an event and war and such, how is that supposed to be a "No don't take it seriously" thing?

>>29818028
/pa/l, honestly? I think you do need a break, just a step back and a breath that'll let you actually look at the stuff being written instead of through hurt eyes. You literally took a story making fun of an admitted slapdash and put together on the spot story and thought it must be a personal attack, rather than you know, the characters making fun of meta like we do. You need to take a breath, re-evaluate what it is you want out of this, and maybe not try to be so quick to judge.

Or not, I guess. It's up to you.

>>29817986
>You can't just go up and write something for fun because you want to make something happen.

PP/Rainbow Dash at griffonstone.

Took me fucking FOREVER too, and you guys never complained, except for the understandable changeling bits. It was silly, it was completely nonsensical, but I think the biggest thing was I never took it completely seriously during, like it wasn't an earth shattering event. I don't know if I could have written like this arc needed, because I' pure humor most days and nobody seems to mind. My advice is just do that if the serious stories have too much pressure for you, apparently we've got three very talent writers who love it! Or maybe next time, ask KKA what he's doing.

Awwww, that sucks, but it's understandable. Don't be gone too long, /pa/l, we've got the finale waiting us!

>>29818219
Yeah, we can have completey silly, IC stuff, we do it all the time. Before she got roped into this, AJ was doing that with the griffons.

I think he's just a bit overburdened right now and that one anon came off a little too harsh in his critique, he'll be alright.

>>29818327
>that one anon

That was me, and only me until the other guy beneath the griffon story, and I accept I might've been harsh but I stand by it. I didn't ask for a NC, I didn't tell him to rewrite it, I just said my opinion on how I felt about that particular usage of a tired plot element, nothing more. If that's too much, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to ignore it. You all can ignore ME of course, nothing stopping you, but I'm not going to do the same. It was honest, I tried to explain myself as best I could, and that's all I'm giving.

Well here's hopefully something that'll cheer you up. Either LATE tonight, or in the afternoon tomorrow(I work in the morning), it's over.

IT'S ALMOST OVER EVERYONE!

>>29818374
Wai. It really does cheer me up. And? How do you feel, now that the end of your hugeass arc is in sight?

>>29818417
>ow do you feel, now that the end of your hugeass arc is in sight?

Good for a lot of reasons, but I'll go into more feelings and all that after it's done, if I feel like it. I normally don't, because really I just feel weird talking about it, but I might have to after this arc.

Feeling good, not rushing, and hopefully delivering, that's how I feel.

Things had not gone the best for Changeling number Zero Zero Seven on this day.

“SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!”

The collapsing, rumbling building had only been the very peak of the horrid event he’d been a part of, the cusp on the end of a day that had started so smoothly and ended so recklessly.

In one limb, hooked tightly, was the dragon he had called at the very beginning of it all. The wide eyed and heroic soul who’d wished only to deal with the worst of the world to offer to shield those he loved from dealing with them and all the strife they brought with. Now he clung to the black limb around him, wetness still very present around his chest and a trail behind him still very visible.

There was a great deal of doubt this was how he saw the adventure that had seemed begun an eternity ago would end.

“SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!”

The other, clinging to him just as tightly was his fellow warrior, his fellow changeling, one who’d asked of him at the start of it all to help keep her alive, one who had made a deal most vague to ensure her protection and that she would live on. Though his efforts to keep her from the scars on her hoof and side and the burns from marring her chitin had obviously been in vain, he’d kept his word, he’d put in place the means to keep her breathing.

As if she’d had to ask at all.

“SHIT SHIT SHIT!”

That was the crux of his panic as he soared through the wreckage of the building, eyes darting around every nook and cranny he could find. That was the focal point of why his heart hurt so very much and his heart throbbed with a painful beat. That was why he feared.

He could not leave them, any of them, no matter how his internal instincts screamed to let them go.

“SHIT SHIT!”

“THERE!”

1/??

“THERE!”

His heart elated at call of the phoenix at his side, the ever vigilant and eagle eyed Blossom who had served him so very well. Her hoof had shot out when he passed by the top floor, down the very bend he’d followed Sunset before their grand battle had began. He kicked himself when he spotted the gray shape on the ground, cursed his own foolishness for not realizing she had been so very close by the entire time, that he could have missed something so obvious and so very close to where he had dived away from so recklessly.

“SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!”

His hind hoof hooked the remainder of her suit, torn from whatever had ripped that odd package she had carried from her back, and off they both went before she could so much as cry out.

“SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!”

That’s when the day, already so very terrible, somehow managed to get even worse.

The walls all around him had started to flicker.

“SHIT!”

Started to grow wild and discolored as he flew past the walls.

“SHIT!”

Then, abruptly, it had gone out.

“SHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!”

All pretenses gone, he wildly blasted in every direction, fired off beams out every corner and into every wall that dared be in his way. His beams heated his skull, made his already throbbing head pulse with pain, made his already blurred vision a myriad of colors and sounds. It had hurt him so to use up his love in such a way.

“AH!”

It had served its purpose.

He went purely on instinct towards the sound of pain from his attack, honing in like a missile through every obstacle that had stood in his path. All around him, he saw the cracks, heard the groaning of weight unable to be held any longer by supports who could take no more in abuse, he heard above that cry the shattering sound of glass broken as walls popped free and doorways shattered.

He followed that scream, almost as loud as his own.

2/??

>>29825353
[small scream]

>>29825368

Every single cell of his body told him to stop and turn. End his descent, shift to the side and fly with all his might to freedom and safety, to leave behind those he barely knew and barely cared to know.

He wished with his deepest heart that he could.

Yet when he heard them, their screams of worry, their honest fear intermingled with the desperate need to flee the collapsing building, he could not. He was pulled, through thoughts not his own, deeper into danger and farther from safety.

He cursed it, every inch.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

The final crush resounded just when he saw a flash of silver and pink fortuitously beside cerulean blue of magical ice chunks. He cursed his body that instinctively slowed ever so slightly, just enough he would not snap a neck in mistake upon reaching them.

He cursed it as he more clearly heard the sounds and fear filled his every being.

“SHIT!”

He hooked the larger mare with his free hind leg and snapped down on the nape of the smaller neck just as the ceiling began to drop.

“SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-“

Though it all he flew, as fast as he could fly and with every drop of power he still had, with all his hopes his fear and his dreams awaiting him as he blasted past every crumbling obstacle, every shattering wall, every falling chunk of the building that had become the battlefield of his team.

He flew through every inch of it, horn burning brightly all the way.

“IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII”

And he screamed every single second, until he shattered glass with his face and one last time tasted cool, crisp air above. He’d felt his tail nearly ripped off and his hind legs nearly broken at that final moment.

Before he’d even turned around, the building had already fallen.

“IIIIIIIiiiiiit…”

He wondered if his heart would ever stop beating so fast.

Even if it could, he wondered if he’d even want that at all.

“…holy shit…”

3/??

>>29825381

He watched with wide eyes, bringing all of his limp teammates closer without thinking of it. He followed the building as it fell, unleashing a torrent of dust upon that completely covered him. In that cloud, hidden from the world, he watched it fall.

One, two, three, four, five. He counted them again, and his avian friend twice for good measure.

One, two, three, four, five, all breathing, all living, all in tact. Not fine, the look on their faces told of a story that was anything but that, but they moved, they breathed, and they lived.

They had all made it out in the final moments.

“…hoo… we… we did it, didn’t we?”

Yet, that feeling was still there.

The rolling in his stomach, the pain in his chest, the throbbing in his head.

One, two, three, four, five, and Blossom too, he counted them all again, they were still there, they were still alive.

His head still pounded.

Something was still missing. Something was wrong, and no matter how he searched, he could not find the answer.

It came to him with a simple word.

“…Sunset?”

A soft word, spoken from one who was anything but.

Her hooves pushed the cloud of dust aside. Be it from fear or his natural inclination to be hidden, he moved with it, keeping him and his stricken companions just behind the thick veil. He stared, and with her whisper, he heard her speak again.

“Sunset...”

It hit the infiltrator in that moment as he followed her movements, the answer to the question throbbing in his head.

He had been wrong.

“…Sunset…”

The changeling had assumed the brilliant, absurdly intelligent mare had a backup plan in place for her defeat, he assumed as he fled that any fear of her being caught up in the ensuring attack was a risk not worth taking, her own devices more than sufficient to keep her from any harm should the worst happen.

With every passing moment, the thought only grew stronger.

He had been wrong.

4/??

>>29825388

He watched, rapt, as her horn began to flicker, as she tilted her head to the side in a fruitless search, still looking.

“Sunset… Sweet Note… Flash… Fizzle…”

Lost in a maze of twisted stone and steel that had been her home.

The warrior had seen her, in many different ways, in many different dates, rarely up close, never so when she stood this tall, yet he had never seen her like this.

The trained instincts that had taught him to search for any tell, any deception, a single indication she held anything less than the absolute belief in what she spoke went wild. Every crease followed, every single twitch noted, and they all spoke the same language.

“…Anyone…”

This was no lie.

This was no deception.

It hit him, with enough force to make him curl those he held into him out of the sudden pain in his chest, it hit him with more force than any he had taken this day, including the ones he had suffered at the very hooves of the monster who now stood before him. It hit him, and it hurt.

He had left them behind.

All of them, foes that had sought him and his friends dead, and he’d left them behind to be smashed into dust.

For reasons he could not explain, with words he could not speak, the love sapping changeling felt something terrible inside when he realized it, with nothing to come and sooth it away. They were gone, simply gone, and nothing could be done anymore.

The battle had begun with the striking down of the Queen Titan.

Now, in the end, she was all that remained.

“…any-“

He jumped, first from the sudden movement of the Queen changeling before him reaching forwards, then much harder after that when the lance suddenly streaked past behind the massive neck.

5/??

>>29825395
His breath had been taken from him, a unique kinship with the royal above his stature in size and otherwise if the look on her face were true. He found himself turning with her, looking away from the one who had been his entire focus since his escape for the very first time. Only now, at last, did he see something that should have been impossible to miss.

Only now did he witness the gleaming splendor, the massive shape, the curious technological creation that was the mechanical twin of the Changeling Queen.

“…what in the name of the hivemind’s depths is that thing…”

He had expected many answers to be found when he had begun this journey what felt an eternity ago. He had not expected even more questions to be found that would require so much more searching to understand.

It was with a heavy heart, and a heavier soul, that he let his defenses fall as the Titan took aim at the newest fighter to the field, doubtlessly the one who had felled the building and it’s defenses.

The A-team, his team, had done their part. They had gone in, they had disrupted the plans in motion, they had kept the fighters busy and they had set the stage for the complete annihilation of the building and all with it.

They had started this battle, yet as he looked out over the flattened and destroyed remains of the city they had taken such care to avoid, he could not find another insistence, nor another denial to the fact of the matter.

The fact was, he would not gain those answers, not now. His time, the A-teams time in this battle, had ended.

He would gain no answers.

Those could only be found inside the armor plating, the netting of wires and gears and magic.

So very, very much magic.

“SWEET MERCIFUL CELESTIA!”

6/??

>>29825405
The former aircaptain of the now thoroughly grounded airship of Fawntaine Futuristics found himself goggling at the readouts he could just barely comprehend, numbers spewing at him in rapid succession so quickly he could only gleam the most basic of all of it.

“Status report, what’s our power at?”

The one in the center of it all remained cool, even as her fur began to stand on end from the charges dancing around the bands and wires across her entire body. She grit her teeth as another bolt surged through her, the entire room now so illuminated it hurt her eyes to stare at, yet proved impossible look away.

“We… the readouts don’t go that high, everything is off the charts, everything has broken the damn charts! We’ve got more power than… than…”

Her lip curled back into a feral smile as another charged lanced through her. None had seen it, none were brave or foolish enough to pry themselves away from their work to see when her eyes illuminated ever so slightly.

“Yeeeesssss…”

She sucked in sharply, the machine following the motions to take in breathless inhales of air with her. Times like this she lamented the lack of articulation in the cheeks and teeth, she would have given a majority stake in her company stock just to see the look on the changelings face when she felt this power.

“It feels… amazing.”

More power than Equestria had ever seen before, and it was at her command, surging through her body, filling her in ways that had never been possible before. That power fueled her, burned inside of her, made her feel more powerful than any creature who had ever walked this earth, past or present.

She was the only one who did not shake when the Titan Monster they so feared threw her head back and let loose the roar that shook the heavens.

She was the only one who looked on, unafraid, as the twin monoliths of black chitin reared back, and smashed into the ground.

“W…what is she doing?”

7/??

>>29825412

Again and again those twin limbs crashed into the earth, pounding it like a wild animal as she screamed. All sense and all sanity had been lost to the wails and the twisted gargling howls.

The monster of rage did not rush away, she did not fly on, she simply continued to bash and to bash and to bash against the ground as if it had been the one who wronged her.

With one final monstrous screech, the whole of her titanic body lifted once more, and her full weight on all four hooves came crashing down.

From that blow, came the cracks.

From those cracks, came the light.

“What in Tartarus is that!?”

All around her, blinding, searing light shot up from every split she had broken into the earth, a luminous harmony of white surrounding her and gracing her and all near with it’s otherworldly illumination. The destruction grew, stretching out along the city, reaching out beyond it’s boundaries and beyond.

It hummed, singing a song that had no sound and no tune as it rose, moving without touch past their ears and into their minds to speak directly to something more than grey matter in bone skulls. What was seen in that light from the monitor, heard from shielding that could keep out the mightiest of blasts, was something they could not comprehend.

Light, beautiful yet horrible light was rising from the earth, and it brought them terror.

“Give me a reading, something! Tell me what we’re dealing with!”

Dozens of eyes danced across a dozen monitors, reading over information, numbers, lists that brought up all sorts of information on all manner of measurements.

“…I have no idea.”

Not a single one made sense.

“It… the computer can’t read it, it’s going wild and malfunctioning just trying to look at it! Nothing about this thing makes any sense! There’s no known magic in all the world that’s even remotely close to this!”

8/??

>>29825417

Just looking at the readouts, information funneled through the eye of a simple machine made to sense magic and give symbols as a readout, was making his eyes go wild and screams go off in his head.

The brilliant unicorn at the monitor dared not wonder what would happen if he were to look directly at the magic, and try to understand it.

He was shaken from his slipping mind, pulled back into the real world once more, by a call.

They would not think it a roar, that word did it no justice to their minds. What they felt vibrate their shielded walls was nothing less than a call from that Titan beast.

To what, they could only guess.

With one more furious stomp, the brightness all around the monster in the center of her ruined city grew to blinding intensity, taking away all sight and all sound from her as the light surrounded her.

The Queen rose, propped up on hind legs that made her stand tall above all things broken or standing. Above them all, bathed in the light all around her, she gave her one final booming roar, and danced her magic on her horn.

It receded.

To the stunned looks of those who could still keep their gaze focused ahead, to the disbelieving eyes that strained to look on to the splendor and the glorious light emerging from the earth in harmonious waves, it receded.

Mixtures of strangely colored, plaid light intermingled with the pure white, coloration and distortion that bent at angles unnatural, twisted at parts that seemed to contradict one another at every turn. Like a virus, like a colorful shadow, that strange light infected every corner of that glorious, harmonious light.

Little by little by painful little, it receded.

9/??

>>29825422

To the disbelieving eyes of those small and standing taller than a dragon, it pulled back into it’s cracks, and that harmonious light was taken away. They all felt it, from changeling to pony to dragon, when an unseen wave passed them by. An otherworldly feeling of wind passing by as a great door was swung closed, an indescribable subtle reverberation down to their core when they felt it sealed.

The sun was still shining when it was gone. The sound of falling rubble and crackling fires were still quite loud.

Yet to the one standing in the middle of the ruins of all, it was dark, and silent.

“All… all systems clear, Miss Pennydrop! It… whatever that thing was, something stopped it…”

They all looked on, silent and hollow, as the mare stood stock still in the middle of the wreckage. Jaw slack, eyes unseeing, slumped over and breathless.

“…it’s gone…”

Not a sound came from her, not a whisper, she lay still in that wreckage, and would not move.

“…Stop gawking you idiots, NOW’S OUR CHANCE!”

The only one to keep some semblance of her sanity in the wake of the stunning and indescribable event was the first to shift and move, a mistake she would later regret.

For the machine had moved with her, following her every steps just as it should, and it caught the eyes she’d hoped would stare away.

Eyes that snapped over to her at her movements, even if the rest of the massive body remained perfectly still, eyes that honed in on the machine with precision unmatched in all the world. Eyes that watched as weapon systems lit up and prepared to fire.

Eyes that remained locked on when her massive chitinous hide shifted to the side beyond the reach of the next wave of energy to fire from the machines mouth.

Eyes that had been so cold and so hollow before.

They lit up now, with fires that had never been matched in all of history.

There had never been a hate like the one inside of the eyes of the changeling.

10/??

>>29825435

There had never been a single hoofstep that had shaken the world like the one of that changeling.

There had never been a rage that shook reality like the one that poured from the screaming maw of that changeling.

“PREPARE FOR IMPACT!”

Nothing, not in this world or the next, could have prepared them for that.

When the rage filled hoof slammed into their metal hide, nothing could have prepared them for the sheer force that rocked through the metal cabin, nothing could have stifled their flight when everything suddenly shifted.

Nothing could have prepared them for just how far back they’d fly.

There was nothing to stop them, nothing to even to slow them down. The city had been flattened, any structure even partially standing completely felled by the shockwave of that brutal blow, leaving nothing but empty devastation all around. Nothing to stand in their way.

Nothing to prevent them from sailing over that destruction, and clear out of the city. The landing come the end was no kinder than the blow itself had been.

“Status report!”

Groans of pain and calls of bent legs or battered sides followed back.

“I said status report!”

“We’re all fine-“

“NOT YOU! My Titan! Status report on my Titan!”

His indignant look did nothing to stifle her glare.

“All- Oh shit she’s still coming! Fuck this! I’m out of here!”

Over a dozen different affirmations followed him, and with it, every single one of them poured to any escape area, any jettison port, even the barrels of the mecha’s guns were flooded by ponies of all shapes and sizes pouring out of the metal monster.

They flowed from her like blood, pegasi carrying all they could grab, unicorns magically pulling all they could carry, earth ponies lifting with sheer muscle, all of then flowed off her in droves.

“…cowards.”

Her attention did not linger on them for a moment.

“Fine then…”

All of it was directed to the raging beast in the center of the city.

11/??

>>29825443

“Just you and me… exactly how it should be.”

The one who roared in challenge, the one who threw her head back to the sky to call for her blood, the one waiting for her, to end her, to face her.

“You and me… are going to-HOLY SHIT!”

The one who moved faster than she’d ever thought possible, closing the distance in a single second, before rocking her once again with the most powerful blow Equestria had ever seen.

A new record already broken by the metal hoof that had matched it, and there was a great doubt it would be the last time.

“Not… this… time!”

Any who still doubted were left defeated when she followed up with a blow of her own, right to the changelings cheek. Dust scattered with the sound.

But the changeling would not be moved.

When she turned back, eyes still pure white with her rage, drool still rolling from her snarling maw, for a second the pony felt fear. Real, true fear.

“T-that… that should have… you can’t…”

So many memories of their past came back. So many times she had watched helpless, broken, as that monster destroyed everything.

“I can… I have a…”

She felt like a filly again, even while staring those blank eyes with perfect level sight, she felt so small against her.

“…I-I’m not…”

She felt so scared, when that hoof reached up and threatened to crush her.

“…I’m not WEAK!”

She met it in the air, and held it back.

“You hear me you damned monster! I’m not weak, not anymore! I’m not someone you can ignore ever again! I… I worked my whole life for this, I built this just for you, and you will feel it! This is what I can become! I’m not some insect, like you! I’m not going to let you walk away this time! I’M NOT GOING TO LET YOU WIN!… not again.”

She clashed with her again, shaking the world with a single blow.

12/??

>>29825454

Every band on her skin, every wire to her skull, every single part of her connected to the machine that surrounded her burned. It burned with a heat that felt as if it would sear her to the bone. It burned so much it felt it would fuse to her skin.

Everything, even her chest, burned.

“NEVER AGAIN!”

She shook, like a beating heart nestled in the machines chest, she shook with anticipation as she lashed back.

Systems around her read of words she could not read.

Indications surrounding her spoke of things she would not bother.

All the wires, all the support, all the myriads of things connected to things connected to things that made up the internal organs of her mechanical beast ceased to exist.

Nothing around her existed as false, as metal, as a shell.

It had become her skin.

Those eyes had become her eyes.

“NOW YOU FINALLY DIE!”

She let loose with a mechanical roar, every bit as loud as the changelings own.

The time for talking ended

This time, the changeling could not hold when the metal hoof lashed her other cheek. This time it was not the beast of metal who lifted, but of chitin.

The battle had only just begun.

Wings glimmering like chrome and twin streams of burning blue suddenly sprang from the smooth back, pushing the full weight of the metallic faux changeling after her flesh and blood counterpart. Both collided in the air, and they rose.

And rose, and rose, and rose, clear into the blue sky above.

The fires came in the skies above.

Unleashed from a glimmering maw, waves of pure glowing magic was poured in waves over black Chitin, casting the one who wore it across the sky. The shriek that poured with it shook the terrified ones down blow, the screech almost sounding alive from a wounded and furious creature. With the waves came fire, so much fire that spread across the previously blue skies and charred the chitin beneath it.

The howl told her that the Titan would not even be slowed.

13/??

>>29825464

The power could not push her back, even in the skies above with no purchase to hold as she advanced. Inch by painful, burning inch she advanced until even through the heat and the fire the one inside the machine could see the white of her eyes.

With one strike, she ended the beam, she ended the attack, and she ended any hope the mechanical titan had of a sudden victory.

There had never been a rage like the one before the blow, there had never been a roar like the one mere instance before the resounding collision.

Miles.

She could not see them, only guess how many from the changing colors in the blur of the ground beneath her, yet somehow she still knew what was passing.

Miles and miles and miles of land, all reduced to nothing but a shapeless formless mass to pass below.

The changeling had struck her so hard that miles had been crossed, so much power distances so vast to take hours to fly had become nothing but shapes.

It had only been the beginning.

She heard that call, the intention to bring all things to death had never been clearer. There was the unspeakable rage devoid of all but the most animalistic of thoughts, there had been a desire, a throbbing desire inside of her pained chest that ached from her screams for only one thing.

Destruction.

She could see it, when the momentum finally slowed. When the air slowed her flight just enough that she could see the changeling nearing closer, she could see it in those unfeeling, sightless yet all seeing eyes. She could see only that one thought.

All that had made her a thinking, rational thing had gone.

She had reduced her to nothing but the beast.

There was only one way to match it.

With a scream, the one within the chest of a monster of her design succumbed to her own rage. With a scream, she fired back.

Far and wide, they saw the light.

14/??

>>29825471
In the skies above, there was light after light, scattering of reds and powerful blows of blue. Weapons unleashed with only the power and drive to destroy had found their purpose, to kill.

The changeling accepted them all in those skies above, she took the brunt of their blasts without flinching, she opened her hooves wide, and she welcomed them.

They could not slow her down.

The clouds parted with their clash, metal hoof on chitinous one, rage on rage.

With the power burning inside every inch of it’s body, the mammoth creation could match her, blow for blow, strike for strike. A fury that rumbled above all as hoof after hoof clashed together.

When one slipped, it was not through lack of desire, only through lack of focus. One slipped to the side, it would not matter which, and both cheeks felt the full power of their fellow titan rock them.

They parted, each sent their own ways by power they could not hold back, each one sent off through the cleared sky that had once been filled with clouds, and each found their ending in the dirt down below.

Each one tore new destruction in the earth when they fell, a reshaping of the landscape that would be left for ages to come.

Neither stayed down for even a moment.

With a scream of metallic screech or animalistic roar, they ascended once again, back into the sky and back into the fray, all thoughts of strategy or careful attacks long since forgotten.

They met in the air, wrapping limbs around limbs and combining their momentum into one rocketing whole. They battered each other as they flew, wings or rockets beating or burning a trail across the sky.

The world around them was changing, and they could not spare a single thought for it.

No matter what passed below, only that above it all mattered.

15/??

>>29825480

Mile and miles and miles, they passed by once more. Distances crossed so quickly they could not follow it, across a time they could no longer care for. Flickers of smooth blue, or misshapen solid brown and yellow, or even towering grey blocks all passed beneath them in droves, forgotten and completely uncared for. No matter what screams could barely be heard on the wind in their passing, their world stayed squarely on focus.

Only the other mattered, nothing else.

Biting, striking, spinning and tumbling through the air, only their battle mattered in the skies above Equestria.

Somewhere in the blows, in one of the many strikes, another bout of color mingled into it. A single flash of creation from one to another, passing between the edge of snarling fangs and just behind the snout of steel. Multicolored rainbows of magic crossed from her eyes and into the ones of flesh and blood. An unavoidable fire that brought a scream for all of Equestria to hear.

A cry of pain rang out as the already torn gaze found itself burned even more, bleeding even more from the agitation to her wound. Hooves disengaged, one swinging up to grasp and try to stifle the flow of blood coming from her eye, giving the other just the opening it needed.

Both metal hooves swung wide, at angles unnatural and impossible for any of flesh and blood. Light danced on both of them, humming with a sickly green coloration, and with a snap both came together on each side of the changelings head.

The resounding shake stunned even the Titan’s unmovable desire, and left her vulnerable when the chest panel so close to her own armored one opened wide and unleashed a torrent of power that cast her into the sky.

In the blue above, there was red.

For a moment, there was silence.

With a roar, the battle resumed.

Across the sky they soared.

16/??

>>29825494

Two mammoth shapes beyond the size most could comprehend, sailing through the air with movements too swift and too graceful for their size. Behind the Titan of metal and shining skin flew the roaring monstrosity at her tail, fangs bared beneath white pupils that would never leave that shining back.

The moment she neared that chitinous hoof lashed out, aiming squarely for the unguarded back between the buzzing and burning wings of her shimmering for. She cried out, not in pain but rage when the head of the machine suddenly spun, becoming a blur too quick to follow and spinning like a top on her neck, emitting a colorful rainbow that seared that black hoof and rebuked it, sending it away.

She would not be denied.

With wild abandon only fueling her, she lashed out again and again against the shield, dampening it, shaking it and the one inside. Little by little, she prepared to break inside and tear her apart.

The full weight of the machine came to a dead stop, all momentum locked in unnaturally and seemingly impossibly on a single bit. The same could not be done for the changeling Queen, not before her passage overhead of the doppelganger could be halted by a gleaming hoof that uppercut right into her midsection and sent her soaring once more.

She vanished into the distance, a breathless black dot that could not find purchase no matter hard she beat her wings to stifle her ascent. A wild and gasping screech of rage left her, mere seconds before something quite different returned to her.

The hoof cocked back on the machine rocketing towards her let out a massive hiss, red lights dancing around it in perfect circles that wrapped coiled around every inch. When it lashed out again, too fast for the changeling to match, a sonic pulse let out a spherical burst in every conceivable direction in it’s wake, scattering the clouds as surely as it sent away the changeling off into the distance once more.

The mountain in her path never stood a chance.

Neither participants cared how long that pillar of rock and stone must have stood, how many centuries it must have been for it to be formed as it was, neither spared even a single thought when it was broken apart, and leveled to the barren dusty below.

Neither held any thoughts either for the oddness that they would stand above dust at this point either. The roar, from the chest of metal or chitin, drowned out all but the singular ideal of the battle that would be the end of them.

The charge of the metal titan never slowed, unlike her flesh and blood twin. It continued on with new hoof outstretched, new charges hungering for the softer flesh beneath the blackened plating, new thoughts of victory in it’s heart.

No thoughts to the changelings movements, before it was too late.

With a terrifying roar of madness both forelegs smashed downwards, sinking deep within the earth before her down the bend of her joints. Before a single course could be altered, the machine was rocked with the full force of the entire shelf of stone and earth ripped up from the ground and slammed right into her path. The plating rattled and rumbled as it tore through all the same, unable to fully be stopped by the wall no matter how thick.

The hoof waiting for it offered another story entirely.

Through the dirt and through the stone it traveled, until it laid on the metal cheek a blow powerful enough to scatter all that had surrounded it and send it to the four winds when the machine was aimed right a the earth. With a resounding smack the metal body crated the earth beneath it, sinking down deep enough that even it’s massive side no longer was level with the landscape above.

Still blind with rage, the changeling swung low, blowing apart both the rim surrounding it and blowing apart all the outcroppings of rocks and landscape that waited in the path of the flying machine.

Just as it had in the skies above, magic surrounded it and all rockets fired, bringing it to a sudden stop mid bounce above the dusty plains. Even that magic, and the full force of those jets, could not stop it when the next blow came with the garbled cry of war.

There was little strategy to her blows as each one battered the metal chest, little thought but to lift it up into the air and off the ground with a flurry of punches, each more powerful than the last.

Her fury consumed her, she drank deeply of it’s rage, all thoughts pushed aside for the singular ideal of breaking into the chest of the one beneath her hooves and ripping her free before devouring her like a still beating heart. She offered no escape, no way to slip free and go for freedom.

The machine needed none.

Instead of fleeing, it closed the distance between each strike, pressing it’s chest to the changelings own and locking tightly both limbs around her sides. All jets fired with the full power they were capable of, lifting off her and the wailing and struggling changeling before her might could overtake the metal holding it tightly.

Through mountains remains, through outcroppings, through all in their path the changeling was battered, and then with one obscene burst of power they rose. Back up into the sky, they flew, through the air they flew at speeds that put all of their others to shame. Through the land and through the sky, they streaked.

It came to a sudden and violent stop when all rockets fired in the opposite direction. A sudden stop for the machine that was softened by the jets firing off in different directions spread even on her back.

The stop was nothing of the sort for the changeling, who’s only means of ceasing her momentum was the metal hoof dug down into her stomach.

Bile poured out of her mouth, pushed free by the violent hoof, before another dance of magic and another sonic burst glowed in her chest.

19/??

>>29825520

It fired off, useless, when the changeling danced away from it, and swung her hoof right into the metal skull.

She did not let the machine crash this time.

She chased her down mid flight, still in shock, and struck her again.

And again, and again, never letting her feel the stillness of resting without motion, never letting her gain her bearings.

She pushed her on, and on, and on, until it all went black.

It came as equal shock to both that it was not either of their making.

So wrapped up, moving so quickly, they hadn’t even noticed. They didn’t see the dark clouds before it was too late, and they found themselves buried in the dancing lightning bolts all around and a storm so massive it put either of them to shame.

It did not even slow them down.

With her bearings back, the metal Titan resumed her attack. With her rage still clouding her deeper than the storm around ever could, the changeling charged back. Flashed of lightning illuminated them as they clashed.

The Queen’s hoof clashing against the shimmering side.

The shining hoof digging deep into her chest.

Flashes of green that covered silver frames.

Colors so magical pouring across the shadow above.

High above in that storm, there was a single blip, a single flash of red and a screech of steel torn and shredded, a wail of something being destroyed beyond repair.

Then there was a boom. The sound of flight, the rolling of that twisting massive storm as something flew through it across the entirety of it’s massive size. Above the lightning, above the loudest thunder, there was a roar.

Down with the rain, they fell.

Two shapes, still battling, rocketing towards the earth at speeds too fast to catch in the span of a single blink before they met the earth.

The cloud of sand and water rose upwards when it landed, the blast rocking the nearby edge of trees flat with a force more powerful than any bomb that had ever gone off on the Equestrian land.

20/??

>>29825532
In the center, a crater so massive that a dozen of either beast could fit inside it comfortably, the thick cloud of dust and smoke covered the land as rain poured down over it.

When it parted, it was by the massive metal horn that pierced the top of it’s full height.

Then, above all sense, it grew.

Grew, and grew, and grew, until it would easily have been able to stand above Canterlot Castle, and place it’s hoof on the tip. So massive it could only barely fit in the crater they had created with their attack. So massive, every strike of lightning on it’s metal horn was but a pinprick, easily lost. It’s massive frame held dents, scratches, bends, but not a single plate of it’s unbreakable armor had shattered, not a single part had broken, it was waiting for more.

The screech of metal resounded through the storm, calling for more.

That call was answered.

Up with her, green flames burning away even the thickest of rain that attempted to stifle it, the Changeling Queen truly became a Titan above all as she reached up to match the full height of her opponent. With a deep resounding roar every bit filled with madness and anger that had come before it, the battle was met.

At this size, their movements seemed slow, almost painfully so, when they lashed out with their hooves.

What they lacked in speed, they more than made up for in sheer power.

Sonic waves scattered the rain when the Titan’s hoof landed square on the metal chest, the impact enough to shove aside anything by the heaviest that would stand in it’s way.

The new fall of rain had no chance to reach the ground before another hoof met chitin, the blast more powerful than any missile her armory had every fired. Ripples flowed down the massive wall of black, visible for all to see in their wake on the broad hide, yet it could not bring her low.

Neither would fall.
