When Battle Ready arrives in Equestria, it is with one goal in mind: Escape. Escape from his own horrible past. He has fled his homeland and has made a life for himself among the ponies of Ponyville.
But the past is never dead. It is always there and sometimes it catches up with us. And nopony knows this better than Battle Ready.
Contains Anthro ponies.
Keep up the good work.
Mistake in the description. Check it and change it, will ya? :)
2697868 Uh, I don't see a mistake... maybe it's cuz I'm a piss poor editor XD
2697891
Edit: another mistake
^ knows it all too well
2697906 Thank ~you~! See? Piss poor editor.
2697916 ahah xD well.. GL with your story. I uh.. don't do Anthro. However, if you do have a non-anthro story, feel free to send it to me to pre-read first. Just PM me or something.
If you need a pre-reader/editor, I'm available, and your chapters are generally short enough and have enough time in-between them that there shouldn't be any scheduling problems.
2698587 Thank you for the offer It seems I may need an editor/proofreader... seeing as how I don't read through my work before I publish it

It's not even that, necessarily, as much as it is you don't notice your own mistakes. This is why it greatly benefits authors and programmers to have someone else look over their writing/code. Because issues that you gloss over (because you wrote them) might be noticed by someone else.
So, Warhorse doesn't know where Battle is? They certainly do, now. I see a bad moon a-risin'.
Siddenly, the name "Battle Ready" makes even more sense than it did, when you consider that he knows a spell allowing him to turn literally anything into a weapon.
Figures, just as soon as I was loosing interest, Miss Sparkle is in grave danger. Now I'll have to keep reading.
OMG, CLIFFHANGER HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Now I know I'm not the only one commenting here.
I'm still seeing a few mechanical errors here and there that might benefit from a pre-reader, but the story otherwise is very solid. I will admit to being a bit fuzzy on why the Elements basically amount to squirt guns against Wrath, though. It seems like they should do something, although I also admit to basing this on the notion that it seems odds that Wrath, the embodiment of violence, can be fought most effectively with more violence.
I'm pretty sure that's mainly my view of things, though. Anyone else want to chime in?
If they really wanted to secure an alliance between Warhorse and Equestria,mthe obvious solution is to marry Tactical to Blueblood. Airhead brat and spoiled prat, they'll get on like a house fire.
More importantly, they'll be so busy being absorbed in the other's vanity, they won't have time to cock up anything that anyone else is working on.
2760535 Ha! Hadn't thought of that. But it isn't like the relations between Equestria and Warhorse are shaky or anything. They're actually pretty stable.

In the event that point a becomes moot, continue referring to point b.
They're so screwed =3
Full disclosure, after the start of this chapter, I was totally expecting Veteran to be all like, "You were gone for nary a year and come back to us with five wives? Well done!"
In fact, that's my new headcanon.
2763738 How? How did I not think of that!
Somewhere around chapter 15 I was losing interest in the story. I thought the shipping with Twilight and Battle was too sudden, and Battle started smelling like a Gary Stu.
BUT
Then you recaptured my full attention with the kidnapping of Miss Sparkle. I think your battle sequences are well written and I normally hate anthro-ponies but I've enjoyed this one so far. I've noticed a lot of technical errors as well and I sometimes feel like your a little rushed. That's my two bits.
I plan to continue reading, if only to see the epic battle/war at the climax.
Keep writing!
By the way, have you recently seen the new superman movie? I smelled some familiar elements in "Ponyville under siege".
2765543 Yes I have. If there are any elements I don't think I added them intentionally. But if there are,

Does this response of yours mean that this is now the actual canon, even if we didn't see it?
2765930 No I just think it was something funny I failed to take advantage of
2765947
Well, I can understand that, all the same. The story isn't really a comedy, and while it would've been funny, it might've been a bit out of place too. This is srs bizniz now.
2765999 Yes of course. Allow me to put on my srs bizniz face:
2766005
No, no, no, now is not the time for a srs bizniz face. This is war.
The only face I want to see is your war face! You got a war face?
2766030 Yes I do:
2766141
Needs work.
Memento mori, Ira.
2783939 Bene dixit
Can't wait for the next chapter
The Black Knight of Wrath always triumphs!
Epic story loved it please tell me its not over yet :(
2818961 There are seven sins are there not?
yes there are seven sins .... i swear if u do stories on all of them that be pretty epic
hey d101 idk if you take tips but i wanna help you here whenever you describe battle scenes although they are epic i can sometimes picture them as humans cause they way you describe the fights not all of them only some just wanted to throw that out there
2825261 Well they are anthro so if you picture them as humans I think I'm doing my job right.
And so, does the saga conclude. All in all, I enjoyed it, and while there were moments when Battle seemed... I don't know. Overpowered or Stu-ish, so what? Luke Skywalker is a total Stu. Don't get me started on Mara Jade.
I think the only real problem I had was that there was never a moment where it seemed like he faced a real challenge. And, I guess also when Battle remarked that the only reason Wrath went after Twilight was to piss him off, since that sort of suggests that Twilight wasn't more than a possession to Battle.
And finally, I demand more Tactical! I know she's only supposed to be an inconvenience for comedic value, but I'm interested in knowing what her deal is. How does Warhorse, which clearly places very high societal value on military service and combat prowess, produce someone like her, who very clearly would be more at home in Canterlot than Legion?
2834668 Tatical will return in Envy.
oh that makes sense
2835410 What does?
