Preparing to write Chapter 6 of Dishonored Crossover and a Chapter for Twisted Tales (Collab with BaroqueNexus) · 3:18pm Dec 17th, 2012
The Chapter 6 of Dishonored crossover as I said will have much more action. Corvo will finally use some gadgets and the gore warning will be valid :P
If I won't change anything in the progress you should see what will be Celestia's reaction on discovering she's hornless (haw haw!), what are the consequences of sun not rising in time, reaction, ideas and rising feeling of anxiety in the Mane 6 as they will all meet again, wondering what can be possibly done about yet again free Discord. The info about latter's escape will of course spread and maybe certain somepony will connect the dots and see that Corvo is now Discord.
And of course slow disconnection of Applejack from reality and friendship...
Then of course POV switch to Corvo and the lone not-so-human girl now screaming loudly. Will he just leave her there, or take the slightly psychotic woman with him? Oh, this will be FUN
As to the Collab, I've already came up with a structure of the plot. As you know I love putting humans in Equestria, especially in a dark setting. So the idea here is:
The year is 2041
The final step of European Union integration comes to an end, forming European Federation, made out of new states that used to be countries. This new nation is under a powerful rule of one man, who due to spiraling financial, food and fuel crisis was able to step forward with drastic solutions to problems. Society swallowed up the simple answers for complicated problems and the man sized power a few years later. It quickly became apparent that the fossil problem can be solved by improved technology and deep drilling, the food problem was solved by changing a part of the Federation to a Granary (Ukraine and Romania).Thanks to not entirely ethical and moral decisions the Federation quickly came out of the crisis and started to flourish again. Fortunately as much as the ruling man made the hard decisions he was not prone to war.
USA with nations of American continents, then Russia, China, Japan, Australia plus more developed countries of Africa sought to improve relations with the new giant. The Federation and the rest of the World lived in relative peace for a decade, with minor conflicts exploding around the World. Federation seemed to be good-natured, offering it's help to poor countries, still being a part of UN but left NATO. Naturally it still had a relative military progress that quickly outclassed any other, making EF armies the most highly advanced technologically on the World with Americans just one step behind them.
Unfortunately there were some countries where the poverty was a problem, together with increasing internal unrest. Glimpses of technological advances of other nations caused a fuse to be lit.
North Korea constantly under tough communist rule with their great leader finally unable to hold to even his personal luxuries blamed the whole World and mostly their sworn enemy, South Korea for situation in the communist country. The North desperately mobilized their huge military and prepared to use nuclear warfare in the process, to make the imperialists suffer.
The threats of nuclear launch became real, as the whole World held its breath, unable to think of what kind of action to take. Obviously the North was beyond reasoning, as the South directed their own weapons against the North. USA tried to reason with the communist leader, but weren't even allowed to send diplomats towards the country.
European Federation on the other hand, having a leader prepared to use drastic measures decided that talking time was over.
We cannot allow a terrorist nation to threaten the whole World with their nuclear weapons. We cannot simply stand idly and wait as South Korea, recent close allies of the Federation perish in flames. Something has to be done...
Said the President of EF in his address to the citizens.
As such EF military entered Code Black.
Invisible, unmanned air drone Spectre Mk. II dropped a recent invention of the Federation on the North Korean soil utterly undetected. It was a Dampening Field Generator that quickly entered the outdated and primitive network of the country and scrambled any launch codes or communication it allowed. It's power levels made it work for about 24h. before turning off and self-destruction.
This time was enough however for a single submarine to be given orders from high command and deal with the threat once and for all.
EFN Ravager, European Federation Navy ballistic missile submarine is given an order from high command, which states: SLBM "Frankenstein" Launch on coordinates 39°2′N 125°45′E.
On the coordinates Pyongyang the capital of North Korea lies and is about to receive a payload of 121 Megatonnes from a prototype Thermonuclear Pure-fusion Ballistic Missile "Frankenstein".
The missile works based on antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion, which allows the weapon to bypass fission.
And as Ravager was prepared to resurface a blinding flash of white light enveloped the submarine. It disappeared from the face of the World, leaving no trace behind.
Meanwhile in Ponyville a certain fashionista was reading a book and experimenting with magic. She was told by her friend that she has an incredible potential if she ever tried to learn more about spells and the power she in fact holds and use it for something different than fashion. Rarity promised Twilight to do give it a try, albeit not really content with the idea.
She tried to use teleportation spell, to send a glass of water in front of her on the table behind her and as she focused and prepared to use her magic something happened, Maybe the flow of energies was disturbed, or there was a spike in magical torrent she grabbed for, or perhaps it was simply bad luck. Nevertheless the spell backfired and sent her a few good meters backwards in an explosion of magical torrent.
Meanwhile EFN Ravager's crew regained their composure after a blinding white flash disturbed their routine. They quickly came back to it, dismissing the phenomenon and as good soldiers that they were, input coordinates for the missile strike.
The same coordinates in which now Canterlot lied.
The missile was fired and quickly approached it's destination.
T- 10 minutes Captain
