OH GOD NOT AGAIN

I mean, kinda? About some things but not all.

Nuance buddy.

>>29996981
The ride never ends!

>>29996963
You shut your whore mouth, Applejack is right! FUCK Applejack, she could never measure up to Applejack! She's just an Applejack, not a Princess Applejack!

Fuck Applejack, praise Applejack!

>>29996981
Don't worry, we'll probably end up killing her too.

>>29997047
Look at this pleb, praising Applejack, instead of Applejack.

>AJ
"Celestia'
~~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"And I have so many more years ahead of me, and they all taste like the lead from a bullet."

>Wash it down with some more cake why don't ya?

"Don't think I don't try!"

>Anyhoo, mah' question is, do we have a guide to how rare or common gems are?

"What?"

>Ya' know, gems. There's a bunch of them right under Ponyville, Rarity mines them all the time-

"There's a mine under ponyville!?"

>Ah' know, right? So do we have a way of figurin' out which gems in the mine are rare and which ones are common?

"Books?"

>Yeah, Ah' was hopin' for that.

"Well, good, I have them. They're books. Books on the subject. Lots of them, even, it's not that hard to look in a book for whichever rock you're picking up is rare or common."

>Huh. Where do we find the books? We ain't comin' up to Canterlot.

"Gee, maybe in the library maintained by a horse that really loves books?"

>Oh, right.

"Welll?"

>So do yer' cirrculums teach students how to use a library, or is there just a big sticker next to it saying "Ah' may randomly stick mah' students here but no it's totally okay to go into someone's house-

"STOP MAKING YOUR ILLITERACY MY FAULT! I can't make you read, Applejack!"

>Well, ya' could, but-

"GAAHHHHHH!"

SPLASH!

>Who keeps refilling that pool anyway?

>>29997240
>Rarity, the supposed smart one sides Twilight of them, doesn't know how books work

Will someone put the book between her legs? At the very least the book is going to open.

>>29997216
Alright then, what do you want to happen instead?

>>29997354
I'm actually fine with how things are progressing, I'm just being a snarky asshole.

>>29997360
Sorry, jumped to conclusions.

Need to remember the chill of the teleport fun. 42! The bringer of calm!

>>29997354
I actually kind of want AJ to princess-up and challenge AUJ to protect Chitania, even if she fails. Just to let her know that she's trying to make things right.

I know it's impossible, but I want some kind of moment where her and Chitty just talk, you know?

>>29997354
Repeating earlier desire to see Rarity and Dash have adventures while looking for AJ

>>29997475
>RarityDash

Oh god NO

>>29997460
I don't think it's impossible, but it's not going to happen with AUJ on the warpath, either AJ gets off her ass and puts her hoof down to stop her or Chitty's just going to end up a moral lesson about letting your enemies live.

>>29997484
Why?

>>29997484
Dude fuck you

>>29997460
I've got it.

"D-D-D-Dash? How L-l-lo-lo-long is this g-going to t-t-take?"

>Uhhhh, I think I might be onto something, Rarity, You smell that?

"N-n-no"

>Aerlion grease... and that scent of engine oil and fuel underneath it. We just need to see where it gets stronger...

"You s-s-said t-that an-n-n-n hour ago"

>Rares, I'm not an airship expert, I'm just going off what... well... stinks

"W-w-w-we should've asked someb-b-bony down below if t-they saw i-i-id"

>Have you seen anypony down there?

"Nb-nb-nb-bo, I bould've flown d-d-down bhere b-but you insiste-d-d-d I keep following y-you"

"...Id's cold..."

>You never really tried flying this high before?

"Nbo...s'not fair"

"...I bink my booves are stuck"

“Pinkie”
~~

>See? Told you, everything is okay.

“The worlds on fire, Shiny.”

>I meant with Partyland!

“But it got taken over by chaos?”

>PARTYLAND 2!

“Oh, right… yeah, that looks fine.”

>Fine!?

“Ehhhhh, could use a little something.”

>I thought we agreed not to go overboard!

“You should have known better.”

>Pinkie!

“Yep! Definitely missing something!”

>PINKIE!

“Something huuuuge and important, going to add several tons to it!”

>PINKIIIE!

“We need… someone in the park! We can’t have it operate without any customers! That would be silly, Shiny!”

>…pfft.

“Ehhh?”

>Good show.

“Pinkie Pie’s shows always are!”

Hey guys! I'm-
>>29996931
Oh... that might not be a good-
>>29996963
That could just be a coinci-
>>29996981
AHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE!?

ANYWAY! Guy's I'm back and wouldn't you fucking believe it, but my tablet arrived the day after I left... Getting it set up now, though!

Gonna get caught up while that's going on, please don't kill one another before I return.

>>30001580
It was a joke!

“42”
~~~

>Well, that’s a scary thought. A pony god might eat us at any time.

“Would they?”

>Why wouldn’t it?

“Because we don’t go to pony heaven or the other place, we go to the Hivemind when we die.”

>…oh, right, that was… confirmed, wasn’t it?

“A giant dead Queen literally smashed the city, so I would imagine it is?”

>That happened yeah.

“So, we know for sure, our afterlife exists and it’s not the one that ponies go to.”

>…Can we opt out of that?

“…”

>Look if I have to spend eternity with someone, I’d rather it not be changeling Queens.

“…I understand.”

>Spike
“Twilight”
~~~

>Annnnd, that’s when you arrived.

When the dragon finished his story, there was silence. For a long, drawn out pause, there was nothing but the mare hovering over him, looking down on him with a wide and blank expression, hopefully just taking it all in.

“…Couple things.”

When she suddenly inhaled, his heart froze in his chest.

>I would actually really prefer you put me under now-

She only inhaled harder.

>-because really I feel like I’ve been punished enough-

And then harder, and harder, until she was red in the face.

>-and words really aren’t going to do any better than-

“SSSPPIIIIIKKKKKKKKKEEE!”

The world shook with her scream. It was only the beginning.

>REGRET!

“...should we feel pity?”

When will we be rid of Apple Universe jack?

>>30002611
Never, she's here to stay and become the new Princess Applejack of this world.

Primejack is going to go on a bus and later become a new villain.

>>30002611
Obvious jokes aside, i don't want to be rid of her yet. She's too interesting and we know so little about her, she's this nice blend of mysterious and threatening.

She's even funny sometimes, she's aces.

>We require entry.

The keeper in front of the door stood at attention when the princesses arrived. Her back had gone straight and her eyes narrow, even almost threatening.

>We come seeking answers. Lives are in the balance.

"Tis a matter most grave, we shall only be a moment."

The clock ticked away as the guardian before them continued to stare and look over each one of them as if searching for something only they would know of.

>Let us enter, please.

"This matter shall not be delayed!"

Beneath their increasingly worried looks, the stare only grew harder.

>...Eighty Eight, please-

'Thank you! Jeeze, is that so hard to say? Why do you have to act like all 'Verily we doth art on a quest most amazing!' Politeness, you know?'

The synchronized eye twitching would have brought their mother pride at the harmony of it all.

"We have no time for dalliance!"

'I can see that!'

>Eighty Eight...

'Seriously, you never come down to say hi. You know the last time you were here? Three months! Oh, but noooww it's all important and you can't wait a second, because we can't have just come down for tea or something. Nope, business business business!'

>Eighty Eiiiight.

'Fiiiiiine, I'll let you in, stop with the blinky thing.'

It took the eldest sister some time before she realized her horn was flashing.

>...Ahem. Apologies.

'Yeah yeah, I'm sure.'

>I'll bring you tea and biscuits later.

'That better mean cookies.'

>It can mean whatever you want it to mean if you let us in.

'I'm doing it, I said!'

The changeling grumbled as she turned around and walked up to the massive door, fiddling with the keys around her wrist and grumbling to herself as she stepped up to the massive technological marvel that for all the rest of the world seemed nothing more than a particularly thick wall.

'And, boop.'

That all changed with a single touch of her hoof.

1/5

>>30003221

The room suddenly ignited with a magical glow, runes upon runes upon runes danced around the wall from corner to corner. With a shifting metal sound, a single compartment opened up in front of the changeling, the empty hole soon filled with a flat metal sheet and a tiny keyboard to type on. Neither princess wondered how it was supposed to work with only two big buttons. The mare began working away, while idly she couldn't help but call back to the pair.

'So, did you hear the scream?'

"T'was Twilight and her charge. Be weary, it shall likely only grow when Diamond Tiara ceases her blocking and finally assuages to come into her care."

'Oof, that's rough, heard he had some issues.'

>That is an understatement unlike any other.

'Yeah, heard that was pretty bad... everyone else okay?'

"We may have undersold how badly Diamond Tiara was injured, though her friend is of sound body. Mind may be another matter, we shall likely be facing her nightmares for some time to come."

'What about the others?'

>Daw got off with some relatively minor frostbite and some burn wounds.

'...makes sense.'

"But we are afraid thine kin, Potatojack, she was hurt worse than some of the others. She will need some time to recover."

'That's a shame, I'll have to visit her in the Empire.'

>She's actually staying in Canterlot for, let's say, an unspecified duration.

'Less walking.'

The room suddenly became silent, filled with nothing else but the sound of rapid tapping.

'...Uh.'

>Yes

'That... it?'

"Hm? Were thou expecting a more detailed explanation? We are piecing that together as we speak, it shall be some time before we know the full extent."

'No-well yeah, when you figure it out tell me, but uh... I just wanted to know if...'

>If?

'...Is Seven okay?'

The two shared a look, clearly taken off guard.

>I didn't expect you to care about that. I'm of the impression you two had disagreements. Loud and angry disagreements.

"We all heard those disagreements. A lot."

2/5

>>30003230

'Yeah, well, still a changeling. Just tell me if he's still breathing and awake.'

>He actually made it out better than the others. Physically, at least.

'Physically?'

>I cannot discuss that further.

'Fair enough, I suppose.'

Still, her hooves seemed oddly distracted as she tapped away.

'Annndd, boom. Please keep all hooves and wings and horns behind the yellow line, do not put food into the cage unless requested, to not use magic unless requested, and take this.'

She held up a plate full of, strangely enough, exotic cheeses.

>Why?

'Because it's really rude to drop in unannounced without bringing a gift. You guys are terrible guests. HEY LAVAN! WE GOT VISITORS!'

Before either could think clearly about the matters, they were swiftly and suddenly shoved via magic just in time for the massive wall to open. Thousands of bars slid to the side in a single instant and just as quickly closed the moment they were clear. The sound of dozens of locks sealed them away and the hum of magic made sure there was no doubt on the matter of any getting in or out without proper permissions.

~Visitors... this pleases me!~

All at once, there was light.

>Hello, Lavan. It is so nice to talk to you again.

The glow in the center of the room illuminated the dozens of machines surrounding it. All of that light easily seeped through the glass container surrounding the wall of flame contained within. Beeps and magical chimes sang in harmony as the different monitors and magical walls gave readouts and made sure all things functioned as they should, creating a gaping cavern of machinery and magic. At the center of it all was his face, and his smile that appeared in that flame.

~Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, yes, it has been too long. You seem to be doing well. Your health pleases me. Oh! Is that for me?~

Tentatively, the dark princess held up her hoof and offered up the plate full of cheeses.

3/5

>>30003242

~Considerate! Those are my favorite too, how did you know? Did you read my mind? Most interesting. I do not mind this, but be weary, it is seemingly a very odd place. The kind you don't want to visit or stay in.~

As the tendril of flame crept out seemingly through the glass itself as if it wasn't there, the two princesses remained silent.

~That was a joke. Is it not, what is the word, landing? Eighty Eight laughed. She always laughs. New material might be needed. What is the deal with cheese? It's name is very amusing, isn't it?~

>Lavan, we need to talk.

~My apologies for thinking it amusing.~

"No, not that. There has been an event."

~Ah! You've come to keep me up to date with the changes of the world! I hope it is most interesting! Did you bring pictures? I very much enjoy seeing how things change beyond what I can see. I cannot stay outside for too long, but the pictures are always so interesting!~

>No, I'm afraid not. We shall tell you all about them, but then...

~Then monopony?~

"No."

~I do not know why everyone fears that game so, I find it delightful. The shoe, it pleases me.~

>They got rid of that. It's a penguin now.

They swore the eyes of fire looked like they were going to cry.

~The world changes too quickly.~

>Lavan, please, this matter is serious.

"Lives are at stake."

His faux flaming hand froze midway to bringing another piece of cheese to his mouth.

~...Is this about Eighty Eight's brothers?~

>No, Lavan, it's not. It's about a lot more than them.

~I see.~

Gently, far more than a flaming hand should be able to, he set the plate down on a snack cart just off to his side.

~Is this about the call?~

The sisters blinked, sharing a quick look of confusion before looking back to the beast of flame.

>The call?

4/5

>>30003253

~Oh yes, it was quite loud. Very chilling, for me at least. I thought it was just the strange thing I call a mind when you two showed up, still free. Hallucinations come and go sometimes. The nightmares, they displease me.~

>You didn't seem worried.

~Why would I be? It did not call me.~

The look lasted far longer the second time.

~Please, Princesses both, tell me what I missed, I need to know if the destabilization caused another flicker in my mind... or something else is coming.~

As one, both sisters looked into that massive pair of flaming eyes.

>...there is something beneath Hoofington. We think... it's a part of her.

Those eyes curled. His smile came back.

~Most interesting.~

>>30003262
....

Whaaaaaa

It's been soooooo goddamn long since Lavan was in the SLIGHTEST bit relevant that I had noooo idea what 88 was doing with all this fanciful beep boop nonsense.

Was that really established? 88 is Lavan's warden?

>>30003273
She is literally his only friend,it would be weirder if somebody else watched him.

>>30003273
Last we saw Lavan(Pre-Timeskip)
>He was unstable
>He couldn't hold himself together
>He got put into Twilight's lab

So the beep boop was the lab part I assume. She mentioned hearing Spike screaming, so she's not far from Twilight, so Lavan must be sealed off so his funko magic isn't misused.

88 is also Lavan's only real friend, so yeah? I guess it was established in the sense of their relationship.

>>30003262
>Lavan heard that thing Celly/Luna did(I think?)
>Wasn't worried

How is that worse!? HOW IS THAT SO MUCH WORSE!?

>>30003262
Betting immanent loredump incoming and I am ready baby!

>>30003262
Okay, first off props for the mixture of character and humor. Lavan's been away so long it was nice to have a moment just to remind us what he's like.

Second, nice bit of continuity with 88.

Third, I feel like this is going to get so much worse.

>>30002853
I wouldn't get too excited just yet, I need to get used to this first, might spend a day or two getting my digital sea legs and finding a comfortable enough program. Probably spend them messing around in other Draw related places. Practice makes perfect buckaroos!

>>30003262
So when it called, he found it chilling, but when he realized it wasn't calling him he wasn't worried?

>>30003431
I think he means the actual call was chilling to hear but it never worried him.

>>30003415
BLUEBALLING BASTARD!

>>30003262
>007 has to give her the bad news

Awwwww.

>>30003551
Did anyone else get the accidental impression that those two have really loud, angry sex?

>Wow, you all sure argued really loud last night!

"VERILY! We could hear the fight from down the hall!"

>You didn't break something did you? I heard banging.

"A lot of banging,"

>And cursing. Really, there are children around here!

"Be more soft next time!"

'...'Sure.'

I'm ashamed to admit that was my first thought too.

"Literally all I have are tubes I keep accidentally sticking changelings in... take a couple steps to the left by the way."

>So I thought, peanut butter and love!

"I'm actually way more interested in how you spread paste of a legume and spread it over an intangible concept caused by chemical reactions than anything you've said so far."

>So, yeah, can he crash for a bit here?

"I literally only have tubes!"

>What a coincidence! That's exactly what he needs!

"...I would like to give you some literature on Twenty Nine-"

>Look he got into a fight with the manifestation of a chunk of his powers, and then after an extended brawl in the streets he cast it off to who the fuck knows where and now he needs to recover before he dies.

"...Twenty Nine?"

>LAVAN!

"Oh, phew. That's way more sane. No yeah, I don't mind. Just be careful, we get whaaackkyyy here!"

>>30004814
This is the first time we have seen 88 in months.

Holy shit.

>>30005188
Besides the story immediately before this I assume you mean

What is the easiest way to defeat Chrysalis?

>>30005542
Straight up over powering her

>>30005542
Chaos magic, according to this series past events. Even after all this time she has no counter to that

>>30005634
What about dream invasion? Like if Luna or someone wanted to lock her in a never-ending dream.

>>30005659
Jugglejack could force Luna out if he wanted to. Shit, even Chitty can if she really tries. Blocking Lulu from her dreams is a cakewalk for Chrysalis.

Hell, in the show even Mooks can straight up stop her and drag her back from the dream world, in our Canon or the shows its not viable.

>>30005677
Does she have any defense against hallucinogenic drugs? If somebody decided to smoke her hive with weed fumes, would she stay sober and sane?

>>30005729
She actually does! It was a joke but it was still viable. Pretty much when she feels drunk or something she can just use mind control on herself to make herself saying. Essentially she's controlling herself with her own pre-built Magic that she prepared with her own personality.

If she started seeing things she literally will just use mind control on her own brain. It worked while she was drunk too, and it worked on everybody else, so it's a viable even if it has a physical effect

>>30005729
Ignoring the gala thing for a sec, how could you smoke the hive when it is constantly changing? Wouldnt it be impossible to direct?

>>30005842
>how could you smoke the hive when it is constantly changing
By buying a lot of kush.

>And welcome everyone to another episode of Fantastically Fixing Friendships, Featuring Fluttershy. It’s during this time that content doesn’t matter, but working hard does. Our next guests are an familiar pair, and like peanut butter and bananas they go together wonderfully. Please welcome back Lyra and Bonbon!

“She’s getting kind of pushy.”

‘HRMPH! Well then next time I’ll leave you to be abducted!’

>Was she helping you, really?

>I’ve seen you get stuck in a bathroom before, Lyra.

“One time!”

>It was in my greenroom.

“I got mixed up!”

‘I didn’t HAVE to save you, I just wanted to because it looked like that was the most awkward thing ever!’

“It kind of was…”

‘See!?’

“But still! I can handle myself!”

>But do you want to? Really? Do you really want to say that, even when the situation might get so terrible you really, really wish otherwise?

“Well, I don’t want to burn a bridge here…”

>Then?

“…Alright, I’m sorry for getting mad, but you see where I’m getting at, right?”

‘Oh, fine, I suppose I jumped a little bit and should have at least let you try to get out of the situation first. I’ll wait next time.’

“OH OH! Let’s make a secret signal in case we need bailed out!”

‘That’s a wonderful idea!’

There were two of them.

TWO.

And that's not even forcing her out of their OWN minds, where they'd be the most powerful, they straight up went into LUNA'S mind and pulled her ass out of the dreamscape. That's not just being able to kick her out, that's being able to follow her home, break down her door where she keeps her guns, disarm her and drag her ass to the rape dungeon. Can't even go "Well Chrysalis has an uzi" because it was nobodies! Underfed(Deliberately) changelings that just kicked the door to her brain down, took over her home turf and put their hooves on the couch.

But who cares! Now the stakes are high enough that Glimmer can save the day!

“Walked right into that one.”

“Wow you are just taking every opening.”

>Feel free to return the favor!

“My wife is in the other room.”

>Bring her in, I’ll show her why you need to mix the dark chocolate in with the vanilla.

“I’d rather not subject her to that.”

>Fine, subject me to everything else, I can take it!

“….Did you want something?’

>Yeah, I need you to fill out this land determination bill as far as excavation goes. I’m willing to Terraform a lot of the Empire’s icy tundra in exchange for chunks of my own, but we better settle this map before it becomes a land dispute. I know! Nobody should argue this much over literally flat cold hellscape of nothingness, but ponies are lunatics who argue over everything. I’d prefer if we did simple blocked areas but I’m willing to jerrymander certain sections if you feel they’re more valuble.

“I’ll have the maps redrawn when you finish staking out the proposed terraformed areas, are you planning to go deep into mining or just stay on the surface?”

>Ehhh, better get the mining rights too. We don’t need it but it could prove valuable as a resource or expansion. We’ll of course let you have the full mineral rights of terraformed land of choice so long as it doesn’t overlap of course.

“I’ll have the paperwork sent to you.”

>Thanks.

"Something's wrong."

The understatement of the century, and a great many more thereafter. Seldom would even the aged years of Princess Celestia find comparison to that.

>What happened here?

There were scratches everywhere, tears on the barks of trees that once stood untouched by hooves of any species. Now the foliage stood scarred, tainted by those that had rent their skin to bits, seemingly without cause or reason.

"She's marking this place."

>For... what?

"Ah' don't know. Was actually hoping you'd fill me in."

A gentle hoof laid on the nearest tree, brushing softly against the bare wood now exposed without it's life giving outer shell. The ring of tearing looped all the way around from what she could see, on more than one.

It was too late to help, the tree could not be saved. In time, without the bark to give it nutrients, it would simply starve and wither away.

There was nothing she could do.

>This ain't like her...

"Well isn't that just great, Ah' can't even get the most basic thing out of you, can Ah'?"

The voice was bitter, far too much so even for the cold and blunt mare to be. Yet when she turned back, there was not a hint of anger directed at her to be found.

It had found it's home elsewhere.

>Ah'm just tellin' you, she don't just run around rippin' things up for no reason.

"From what you said, sounds like she most certainly does."

>Then ya'll didn't pay very close attention, did you?

For a short while, at least. It found it's way back to the frowning mirror face soon enough.

>She tears up things in her way, she doesn't go out of her way to do it. This ain't like her. She'd tear up a whole forest in a fight if she had to, maybe even rip it up if she wanted the tree itself, but this is just... it's just nothing. She's tearing it up and killing the tree for no reason.

"Maybe she's practicing for your subjects. You really want to take that risk?"

1/5

>>30009700

Teeth clenched down on her lip at the thought. While the Queen had shown little, if any desire to actually go out and kill anyone that hadn't wronged her personally and deeply, she could not deny things might have changed.

It was possible that defeat she had witnessed had been the last straw, and all that was left was someone out to hurt. Someone out for revenge against the whole world.

Someone dangerous.

"Finally seeing what Ah' was talking about?"

>...we still should try to capture her-

"And then what? What are you going to do?"

Both burning eyes locked onto the extradimensional intruder, her teeth glinting barely in the light of the other's horn as she bared them for all to see.

>She deserves a trial, she should stand before a judge-

"You're the judge, you idiot!"

A thunderclap and flash of light resounded with her words as if the sky itself had roared in denial, or a fierce agreement.

Neither was payed any mind by the mare who advanced.

"You're the one who needs to decide this here, now, in this place! We're down, we have no means of aerial transportation, that means you'd outright have to carry her on your back to even get the option!"

>And?

"And that means she can escape! Magic, shapeshifting, mind control and who knows what else! Changelings have lived their entire lives with the ability to slip out from even the keenest eye, the ability to stay hidden from the annuls of history despite how long they've lived! They're masters of slipping away at the worst moment, and you want to give her that moment? In the air, in the storm, where it would be so easy to lose her? How many times do you have to do this dance again and again? How many times does she have to slip away at the wrong moment before you get it in your head to make the choice right now! Or... is that what you want?"

All the way she walked, until she was once more face to face with the pony who shared her face, and so little else.

2/5

>>30009707

"Do you want her to escape? For someone else to take this matter into their own hooves, and deal with it? Are you trying to get her free so you don't have to make the hard choices?"

A hoof reached up to slap the other across the face, only to bounce off harmlessly against the shield that had seen it coming. No matter the pain of her crunching hoof, her voice was as undeterred as ever.

>NO! Ah' just want her to get a fair and equal trial, that's all! Yer' talkin' bout me becoming judge, jury and... and that ain't right!

"Why not?"

>Because everyone deserves a fair chance!

"So, give it to her. Give her a chance to come in quietly, give her a chance to submit to this, give her a chance to have that trial. Make the offer, but do not make it absolute. If she wants to go out fighting, let her. If she turns it down, do what needs to be done."

>You know she ain't gonna accept being chained up and judged by us!

"Well then, sounds like you've got your answer. If she doesn't want a fair trail... she won't get one."

The wind howled between them, and with her final words the storm above intensified.

With it, the gaze beneath the wide brimmed hat intensified just as strong.

>You know she won't, don't you?

"Don't know thing one about her besides what you've told me, but if Ah' had to go off certain others... yeah, Ah'm betting she isn't going to go down easy, and chances of this going peaceful are low. That's something you have to deal with."

>You know she'd rather die than let us lock her up or execute her on our terms.

"Sounds like you haven't got much of a problem then, have you?"

>You want to watch her die.

Light flashed again, yet it was something else that flashed behind those spectacles.

3/5

>>30009715

"You think I'm doing this for sick kicks or something? You really think Ah'm just some sort of blood hungry monster out to see someone's blood flow? Get over yourself, literally. Ah'm you, you idiot. Ah' don't take any pleasure in this, this isn't fun for me and Ah'm not going to go brag to the nearest pony about what a great thing it was. This is just something that has to be done, by you or by me. Ah' want you to see that."

>Why?

"So this world can keep living and growing, and become as great as mine is. Mine... it's a sight to see, it's so safe, they're all living so much better, but yours all live in fear all the time. It isn't right. None of this is right."

Again came the crack of lightning, and again the face of the mare was cast in the shadow beneath her hat.

>If you're really not a monster, then let me try to help her.

"You can't."

>She deserves a chance to be saved.

"She had it."

>She's hurt, she's alone.

"That's what makes her dangerous."

>...Ah' don't want to see her die.

Of all things that she expected, the gentle hoof on her shoulder was the very last thing to ever even grace her thoughts.

"Good. Don't want it. Don't ever want that to happen. Ah' don't want you to turn into the type that wants to see this day come. Ah' don't, and Ah' never want to, but it doesn't matter what you want, it's what you'll do. This-"

She gestured, hoof waving to the dying trees all around.

"-well, it isn't good. From what you've said, she already wasn't the nicest gal around, and this isn't going to make it any better. It's almost certain nothing is going to make it better. You can spend your whole life chasing the spark before it hits the ground... or you can put it out now, before it burns everything away. Ah' get it, you don't want to kill anyone, you don't want to be the one to pass that kind of judgement. But this is how it has to be."

>...why?

For a time after her rasping question, there was no answer, nothing heard but the rainfall.

4/5

>>30009722

"Because this is the only way to be sure. She's a problem, she's had her chances, she's dangerous, and she's going to hurt someone again. Ah'll give her a chance to come quietly, but after that... it's her path. You just have to be there no matter which way she wants to walk."

With one final thundercrack, and the hoof finally pulling away from her shoulder, it was over.

Even if the matter had not been settled, it was over.

>...Wait.

Or so the mare from another world had thought.

>Ah' have to know. Whatever happens with her, Ah' have to know.

"...have to know what?"

So she imagined, before the look of desperation washed it all away with the force of the downpour.

>Ah' can't let her go until Ah' know...

"Know what?"

>... what happened to Sunset Shimmer.

>>30009729
Good news and bad news!

>Celestia
~~~~

Having parted with Luna for the time being, Celestia strides through Canterlot castle alone, her thoughts weighing heavily upon her.
Hoofington's destruction and the multitude of souls beneath its ruins; the demise of Sunset Shimmer, Queen Chitania, and their allies; the A-Team's part in all of this; her conversation with Lavan; and Applejack's sudden disappearance.

Just a few things among many that have, no doubt, piled up during her and Luna's absence.

>So many pieces to pick up. So many questions and actions that must be answered and accounted for...

"Princess Celestia?"

The pony before her bows as Celestia strides into the room.

>How many calls for an audience have I received?

"Ah... Quite a few. Mostly journalists and the like. A few nobles have also put in requests, as well as some citizens who have been affected by the battle."

>I see.

"Begging your pardon, but I took the liberty of weeding out the chaff and sorting things for you, Princess Celestia."

She smiles, anxious, but grateful.

>Thank you.

-_-_-_-_-_-

Press. Guards. Nobles. Citizens. Miscellaneous.

It was easy enough to go through most of them, since many of them were simply generic requests to see her. A simple press conference and townhall meeting invitation should satisfy them.
The more specific ones, some from ponies she recognized and many from ones she didn't, took more time to sort and approve.
Some of the requests broke her heart; a handful disappointed her.

But they all brought her some level of... determination.
Spike's actions... Pennydrop's brash, defiant attitude... The destruction wrought throughout the land...

>Starswirl preserve me... Things can't keep going on like this.

The people of Equestria needed to see her at the forefront of this.

No. Not just her. And definitely not just Applejack.

All of them.

>>30010428
>Starswirl
I can't wait for him to show up, that's going to be a trip. I kinda want him to be semi racist against Applejack though, with her being an earth pony. Nothing major but just, innocent digs at her being a mud mare. We can make racism funny without resorting to lings and white ponies!

It hadn't been said, but seemingly just implied and none actually questioned it.

>>30015508
Exactly!

>>30015529
>I tried and nothing worked!
...Just white didn't work?

>>30015463
The smile is what makes it.

>>30015557
It's TOO white. It's pretty jarring and adding black to the eyes takes away from her eyes instead of adding to them.

>>30015529
>What I always wanted it to have!

Well it fits, there's definitely a distinct sense of every color despite none of them being 'bright'.

>>30015463
>Someday, she gets the apple

Iiiinnnnteresting.

>>30015607
I didn't even think of that, but yeah.

I wonder if it's AJ's own that she makes or if she takes AUJ's at some point...

>>30015463
Nice to see these finally coming to color, and I can't wait to see what else comes down along the way.

It's been a trip and it's so nice to see you continue to evolve.

I found a shade of white that works, also realized why the eyes were so jarring adding black and color to them. I forgot the whites of her eyes. This should do it.

>>30015607
I would like to point out that this picture predates AUJ

>>30015664
There it is! I knew something was missing.

Perfect.

Actually wait, I forgot the freckles! Now it's perfect.

>>30015677
I honestly didn't even notice something was off with the freckles, but I get you now.

>>30015677
Looks MUCH better with the eyes colored in, really helps define the boundaries of her eyelashes and makes them stand out and look even sharper.

>before AUJ

You corrected the wing size I see, very nice, I always though they were huge in the original. Also liked the fact you increased the thickness in her front legs, they looked really spindly before.

Then in that case, did her future emblem go into AUJ's ultimate creation? I'm not sure how much you intended with the emblem and the obvious and possibly future significance it will have, but was this design choice pre-planned or do you just like giving her some apple bling?

>>30015921
I'd like to know this too, was the symbol always supposed to mean something when you had an idea of 'the future'?

>>30015921
>>30016005

Ok to set the info straight.

It's connected, AJ was always supposed to get one eventually, and when AUJ was conceived, I decided to give AUJ her's first.

I'll also make note that this was before neckerchief /pa/l opened his big mouth and brought the neckerchief into existence without the Emblem. Still kinda salty the trigger was pulled on that prematurely. It was part of a planned upgrade I came up with ages ago. But AJ wasn't nearly ready enough, worthy enough for it, thus I suggested AUJ as a Catalyst to get her going.

But all that's in the hands of the writers now, and with what I know and don't know, I'm sure I've let that dream in capable hands.

And to answer your question directly, there is always some kind of plan in my drawings, during the designing and creation portion and in the final work. If you look harder than just appreciating how it looks, you'll begin to notice that there are things big and small that are connected. If not to other pictures, then to stories.

>>30016015
I have noticed that trend that a lot of things seem connected, subtle things like Chitty's eye wound in her mech suit art for instance, it's why I asked.

So, when is Two going to find the giant marchmalley and carry it off into the distance?

>007
"??"
~~~

He was alone.

>I'm waiting...

He had been sequestered away to one of the many rooms in the New Hive the instant they had touched ground. With barely a moment to breath his Queen had decreed him to sit in this place until her return, when she felt she could deal with him again. He had done just that.

>I'll still be waiting.

He was loyal after all.

>Right here...

He was loyal to his Queen, loyal to his hive, and she would see that. If he had to wait until he was nothing short of petrified stone and dust, he would show that.

>I did this for our hive...

He would show all of them that doubted his loyalty.

>I did this for you.

He would show them he understood.

>I...

It changed in a blink.

"Hello, Seven."

Figuratively and certainly literally, he had blinked and when his eyes opened once more, everything had changed. The room, once pitch black and sharp, was now quite a lot more colorful and tilted. Nothing was quite right, none of the color combinations quite fit. There was brown clashing against bright blue on the leaning left side of the room, a stark red trying to overpower the black on the ceiling that tilted downwards towards him in a way that made his eyes hurt to see. Nothing about the room made sense anymore.

>...hello, Fluttershy. I don't suppose you only came here to check on my health?

How ironic then that such strangeness explained everything and made it all make sense.

"We need to talk."

>My queen-

"Chrysalis said I could talk to you if I wanted."

>Did she say I had to answer back?

"No, she didn't. I don't even know if I want you to."

His chitin felt stiff after that.

"Seven, I have to know. How could you have done something so foolish?"

He didn't feel much like looking at her after that either.

"Don't you look away, mister. How could you endanger yourself so recklessly?"

Or speaking, for that matter.

1/5

>>30016683

"I'm not just angry with you, I'm ashamed. You have a duty you neglected in order to do all of... this! This horror and awful, awful thing that happened! So many lives were hurt, so many lost pointlessly, and it's all because of you! You did this! Whatever happened later, you have to know this was all caused by you, and what that means! Don't you understand how dangerous everything was? Don't you understand how much could have gone wrong?"

>I didn't bring-

"I know you didn't bring Buttercup or the others, and it's the one reason I'm not turning you into a three eyed one legged turnip for being so... selfish! So utterly stupid and selfish! I know you didn't endanger any of them willingly, and I'm thankful you had the sense to do that. But there's more to it than that, and I thought you understood it! I thought you knew, but apparently I was wrong. There's more to this than just what you think was going to happen in the immediate. Even if they never had a single hair on their heads touched, they were in danger every moment you were out. If you'd been seriously hurt, or heaven forbid far worse, what would have happened? And don't tell me it wasn't possible, others far stronger than you met much, much worse fates there. You could have easily ended up like... them. Then what? What does it mean for all of them?"

He wasn't looking, but could hear her shudder.

"You have a lot of others counting on you, and you jeopardized all of that for a foolish mistake."

>I know-

2/6

>>30016693

"No, you don't! And that's what makes me so mad! You don't know what this means for them, you don't know what might have happened if you were gone! you're not just a changeling, Seven! You're their caretaker, you're the one they look up to and need for guidance! You're not just someone who gave them a special skill, you're someone they actually care about, and I know you know that. That was the entire point! You're the one who gave them the gift they treasure right now, and if you died it might all go away! I can't step in for you, I don't know how to do it, nobody else does. They don't because you took it all on yourself and you made sure only you had to bear the burden. Well, I let you, I let you carry it all by yourself and hoard it because I thought you understood what it meant to carry it, and the dangers that could happen if it fell into the wrong hooves. I thought you understood, and maybe you used to, but what I saw was nothing even close to understanding! You've forgotten your responsibility!"

Finally, he looked back to her. She was staring at him with the full intensity of her unmistakable stare. He gave it back just as good.

>...my responsibility?

He wanted so badly to rise and to walk over to her on the uneven, waving floor. He wanted to, but couldn't. His queen had ordered him to stay put. He would do nothing less.

>My responsibility is to my hive, to protecting them, to making their lives better. What this started at was nothing more than protecting my hive from that group. I started only wanting to make sure my Queen never had to be injured again by that yellow pony or the traitor Queen. It grew beyond there, but the beginning... it was nothing more than my responsibility to protect them. Protecting my hive, that... is my responisbility.

Her glare twisted, boring right into him like a drill.

"Seven, be honest... was that really all this was? There was nothing more? You really expect me to believe that?"

3/6

>>30016705

But just because he coudln't rise didn't mean he couldn't make her feel it when he shifted.

>My plans with the others had the possibility to grow in there, but from moment one, the very start, was one thought. Protecting my have... but it grew. You know what I'm after, you know what I've been doing all these months, you're the only one I've shown it all to! You know where this is going, to finally freeing us of the shackles of this malady we've been cursed with since our birth! Everything! Everything I went though was just... just to try. I need to grow closer, I need to figure this out faster, for all of our sake. Not just me, but my hive. This is all for them. I never betrayed them, I'll never betray them, this is all for them. You know that.

For a long time, she just continued to stare at him with that same all powerful and encompassing look that easily dwarfed her powers even at their peak.

"I'm disappointed in you, Seven."

It never came close to resonating as powerfully as those five simple words.

"I hoped you really did want to make life better, for a lot of others, more than you'd dreamed when this all began. I thought you were growing, I really did, now I'm not so sure. I thought you were changing, but maybe I was wrong. If this is how you're going to act, if you're going to do things like this in a quest to become stronger or chase some miracle that might not exist, if this is your idea of 'protecting' your hive... I don't know if I can support you going forwards, or allow you to keep endangering others. If this is the mindset you're going to have, I don't know if I feel comfortable with you influencing the others... any of them."

>They'll go back to being mindless beasts without me.

4/6

>>30016708

"I know... but maybe that would be for the best. It would be kinder for them to forget what it means to lose you, than to watch you die doing something so foolish and know their minds would slip away afterwards. It would be a mercy to stop it now, before they finally make the connection and their hearts break when they know what they've truly lost. I don't want to hurt them, none of them, but it might be kinder to let them hurt a little now, instead of so much more later. Maybe it would be better if Chrysalis and I had a talk, and then we just, let nature return to how it was. Let things go back to the natural order... that might be kinder in the long run."

His eyes were glowing, far brighter than any of the colors dancing around him. He hadn't moved or twitched, but even the near invincible pony felt uneasy when his frown deepened.

>So you're going to reveal me, is that it?

She never looked away, not for a moment.

"If you keep this course you're on now, I won't just reveal you... I'll stop you myself."

The room changed in an instant, swirling all around them in a spinning cavalcade of chaos. Distorted faces danced on the walls, wails of a hundred different beings called out to him from every angle, screams cried out only to be silenced.

>... I can't stop you. Is that what you want to hear? You're powerful, too powerful for me, for anyone, I can't hope to stop you.

He'd never once looked at any of it. For him, the whole world began and ended with the mares face. The whole room twisted and he never knew.

"Yes, you can. But... will you?"

She didn't even have to do more than tap her hoof to bring the room back to normal.

"For what it's worth, thank you."

Piece by piece, she began to vanish. Little sections began falling off her like puzzle pieces, each one disappearing the moment it rose in the air.

5/6

>>30016714

"Thank you for saving Spike, and the others. They mean a lot to a great many others, and if they'd gone with Sunset and the others there would be so much more pain. You didn't leave them behind, even when you could have, maybe should have, and I see that. You saved them, and whatever else happened, I'm thankful for that. I won't forget that, and I won't ignore it. Thank you for saving them. I don't hate you, I don't want to see you hurt. I'm happy you're okay, I really am. You mean a lot to a great many others, Seven, and I'd never want to see you hurt... I'd never wish you lost for something like this. I'm not doing this to hurt you. I just want you to understand why it's important, and why it should never have happened at all. I want you to understand."

Her face was the last piece to fall away.

"Remember who's counting on you. Remember what you've worked for. Remember who's waiting... Remember your responsibility."

It vanished and she was gone.

>... I know it.

Only when he was sure she had completely gone did he let the weight come down and his head tilt forwards.

>I know my responsibility.

When he was sure he was alone, he put his hooves on his face.

>It's for you... all of you... I didn't forget you, I didn't... I just...

To an empty room, he sadly whispered.

>...I tried, and...

Nobody was there to hear what he said next.

>>30016719
Okay! Really!

Spike told everyone not to tell the princesses and okayed Pennydrop joining in before he shot somebody in the mouth with deadly poison and even he isn't getting anywhere near this. Someone hugged Spike! There were hugs!

First off
>>30017319
Das cute and I love that it's finally colored.

Second
>>30017186
Look, I'm not going to say pile on more pain on Bondbug, but she's absolutely right about all of that. She trusted him not just with the animals safety but their future care as well, she kept his secret with the agreement he would do what was best for the animals, and he didn't. She's a very dedicated pony who dedicates a lot of time, energy and love into animals, and she's not going to just accept his reasoning. She is right to tell him that as much as he wants to play great changeling savior or badass agent, he's got other responsibilities that he's neglecting or endangering. He's got to understand this isn't a part time gig, those animals depend on him to THINK, he can't just abandon it and fight Fuckzilla whenever he feels like it. That isn't fair to them, who didn't ask for this and now can't be rid of it. Seven needs to nut up and be a real leader or let them go back to being animals, he can only be one.

>>30017319
Dawwww! It's so nice to see evil if In color. Still best mom, even if she was worst changeling.

>>30017319
Is the face coloration natural or a mask?

Most other changelings have just the standard, but it could theoretically play more into her unique abilities if it's a discoloration as a result of the genetic failing. For as neat as it looks, it could easily be her poison seeping into her pores or a nasty case of infection on her face.

Am I overthinking this? Okay, I'm just going to point out daw, her wing has a little heart.

>>30017319
Noseboops take the pain away...

Hold on now, hold up.

I just realized, isn't 007 the strongest changeling Chrysalis has left? Like, he's at least on early-thread-42's level, which was already stupid strong, and has been keeping up with his training.

>>30017475
It's kind of ironic, Seven could potentially be considered a revolutionary in terms of mind magics and control, he's already done more than any other scientist has come close to.

But nooooo, just has to be a special agent.

>>30017319
Yay indeed!

>>30017499
I think it's a marking, because it's not hereditary in Arana. Sciderella was huge on psychological warfare and for all her horror movie lifestyle she was quite brilliant in a lot of areas. She likely paints herself or uses her regular shapeshifting magic in order to make it. Bet fifty bucks it glows in the dark.

>>30017234
And that's when he goes nuclear. If his secret crush gets down on him he's losing it.
>>30017319
Almost makes you forget she's horrifying.

>>30017475
Whether or not she accepts his reasoning is beside the point. She's still kicking that chigger when he's already down. And for something that, mostly, wasn't his fault. She has a point that, as a leader, he can't afford to risk his life haphazardly. But, he was gone for like, what, one day? They'll be fine.
>he can only be one
There's a job lets him be whatever he needs to be. It's called "Beat Cop."
