Visions Of The Future: Beginning Of The End
"And that is how you properly clean, disinfect, stitch, and bandage a wound. Next week's class will be basic self defense. Make sure you come, you need to know this stuff." Fillies and colts, as well as full grown ponies, griffins, and even some of the more intelligent, and not to mention peaceful, diamond dogs living in Equestria stood, collected their belongings, and left the school house. After I nearly died..... again...... at the battle of the deeps, with Gilda's pregnancy coming along, I couldn't keep doing it. What if I died? She'd have to raise our son or daughter as a single mom, and I'll be damned if I'm not there when my kid needs me. I won't be like my parents and abandon them. Let Aoi, Ember, and the rest of the several dozen humans that got thrown here lead the revolution and save the world. I did my part to get the ball rolling, and I don't mind passing so my teammates can be the ones to score.
After getting therapy for my issues, Celestia suggested that I be an instructor for emergency procedures in order to get the masses ready in case of disaster. Of course, what better place to start than the ground zero of... everything ever, Ponyville. The pay is good, and we live comfortably. The New Dominion is thriving under the council's guidance, with some helpful hints from Equestria. Don't get me wrong, I'm still large and in charge, and they send me reports on whatever's happening, but things are going just as I planned. For the most part, they can take care of themselves. Especially since the sea ponies started taking an interest in the surface world again and began helping out, making sure we don't ruin the ecology, sending some helpful tsunamis whenever we get attacked, and helping us build our own version of Cloudsdale. Things should be smooth sailing.
A scream from outside interrupted the bliss I felt from sharing my knowledge, with annoyance that even when I'm retired, I still can't catch a break.
"Oh, what is it now!" I shouldn't have asked. A regiment of a dozen or two living shadows sailed through the small town, moving like dementors but without the flesh or cloak, only wicked swords black as an empty night sky, and a small creek of blood flowing beneath them as they cut down or any ponies they came across. Most escaped, some weren't so lucky. They were like the basic heartless from Kingdom Hearts mixed with the Nazgul from LotR, and all before them fled in fear, save for the mismatch of ponies, griffins, and diamond dogs that made up my emergency response class.
"Oh bloody hell." My mechanical wing revved, the chainsaw wing blade on the front portion springing to life as I grabbed the broken Hades by the handle. Ever since I snapped the blade on Ember's thick hide, things just went down hill in my fight, and I never saw fit to repair it. The jagged, broken edge still served as a weapon quite well by the fact that I was able to cleave three of the fiends with one swing before my strike was stopped by the forth. It's souless, glowing eyes glared at me before it was knocked off guard by a shot of magic from a Pumpkin Cake, and the head kicked from it's neck by her twin, Pound Cake. It dissipated into a wisp of black smoke before it's sword clattered to the ground and followed its master into oblivion.
"Thanks you two, but get yourselves and all the others into the shelters. Let the professionals handle this." I instructed as my wing cut through another shade that was coming up from behind them.
Giving quick salutes, the pair took charge of the class and brought them to one of the several bunkers installed recently, in case of just such an event.
"Anyone who doesn't know how to kick ass, get your flanks underground. Everyone else, with me. They ain't taking us without a fight!"
Ten of my former students from the first class, having passed my course, took up positions behind me with their spears, swords, and mark 1 beam rifles. The mark 2's were reserved for actual military, but I preferred using mark one's anyways. Less finicky, meaning you don't need a degree in marksmanship to use it.
"Ya got another thing coming to ya if you think you can take OUR town! Not a one of ya's gonna survive this!" My booming voice caught the attention of the smoke creatures who immediately stopped what they were doing, many in the middle of swinging their swords to cut innocent ponies, and started making their way towards our group as the thankful civilians fled to safety.
"You all remember what I taught you?" I turned to ask my graduated students.
They nodded, took a deep breath, and in order to steel their nerves for what they were about to do, let out a piercing war cry which when joined by my own made the trees themselves shake.
"WRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
'I thought I got out, and they pull me back in. Celestia is going to want to hear about this.'
First, yet another great chapter. Blueblood and Fancy Pants singing is something that definitely needs to show up in Season 3
Blackwing update you say?
I don't usually read during the day but when I do...
It's Blackwing
YES! Another Chapter! (But It's really short...)
Short, but still mustache worthy.
Buh-wha-sdklajflkjlandg
TIME SKIP!
I AM CONFUSED!
Wait, what? When did this happen? Last chapter Griffin was having breakfast, and Celestia wanted to talk about something? Why the sudden time skip?
I mean, seriously? I wanted to see Griffin kick everyone's asses at Gem Fido! *sigh*
Aw...
What the fuck is going on?!
Short but amazing, good work my friend.
So, is that one of Missy's bunkers? And is the self defense class also Missy's idea that started rolling?
1011454 1011456 1011460 Notice how the chatper name is 'Visions of the future' Everybody is having one chapter show what is coming later on down the road. It started with Forevermore doing one, showing the final battle against the thing in the sky, so it's basically a spoiler chapter.
1011470 Yeps.
1011471 Ah.... Well don't I feel stupid.
But now im sad because Hades gets broken...
And didn't Aoi say he would reforge Hades for Griffin at some point? Maybe that would be a good time.
Also, since this is just a vision, could Griffin find a way to make it so Hades doesn't get destroyed?
1011475
Awesomeness.
Ok... It's great that the revolution succeeded and everything, but I wanted to see some more of Griffin kicking ass. Why the sudden time skip? Up until now, everything's made sense, but now I'm just confused. Are you just trying to wrap up the story or something?
Hades broke? IMPOSSIBRU!
And a chainsaw wing? the baddassery levels are off the charts!.
1011501 NONONO! This is just a spoiler chapter. I'll be going right back to the regular story next chapter. If it's a 'Visions of the Future' it means it hasn't happened yet, and won't for a while. It's more just to give the reader an idea where the story is going.
Damn time skips. It's spoils what happens in the story but is to interesting to not read.
P.S. Don't think I i'm hating on you or the story just kinda makes me a bit upset is all
1011510 Fair enough, "After That Fateful Night" is already over 160,000 words, and I still can't see where it's going.
so looks like Ember didn't off you yet
Blackwing? Is it me, Or do the Cake twins remind you of Palom and Porom from FFIV as well?
AHHH! I gotta get my story up and running now. i don't wanna miss this at all. I WANNA BECOME CANON!...please?
Griffin wants to stop ass kicking? I think I just smoked 100 hits of pot mixed with cocain and washed down with a bottle a applejack danels
Huh, apparently you changed the text on this chapter because my comment at the top no longer makes sense.
In other news, the shades are coming! Flee for your lives!!!
All I can say is...
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1011510
i was bout to say
" but den mah RP gets fawked up!"
but srsly...... another update..... right after i get an update from my other fav fic..... luna must lub me!
Fukken spoilers!
Woah, woah, woah,woah. I am happy that you gave us a small insight of the future but where did the demonic shadow beings come into to play in any of the stories!?!? Also this saga is starting to be a huge as the fallout Equestria stories and conversion bureau stories
What the buck was that
You. . .You SPOILER! RAAAAAAAAAAAUGH HAAADOOUUKKEN!!!
cdn.ology.com/bundles/ologysocial/up/img/embedded/embedded_4f5ad1dc35c845.28575311.jpg
1011471
And that's exactly why I'm not reading it.
...I believe that the "rule" was 100 favs? Knowing that to do one for the second chapter would be dumb, I still wish that I could do it. Now, let's hope nothing else interrupts me from writing....Again.
I hate this chapter. No, seriously. When you do flashforward, you do not fill it with spoilers so much. I need a cup of memory erasing tea.
Spoilersssssss
Hey Blackwing, when the whole revolution starts going and Griffin finds himself in front of a big crowd of Griffins and D-Dogs and Ponies and other creatures that have been entrapped in the caves, can you maybe make Griffin play "Do you hear the people sing" By Les Miserable, it would be really cool and fitting!
1011475
So, Blackwing, When and who gets to reserve rights to exploring south of the equator? Griffin's children should be the ones to explore it, me thinks.
Dear God.... FUTURE GRIFFIN IS BAD ASS!
God damn it Torentician.
1012092 Oh Torrentican's not even a drop in the puddle of what's beginning here
This is a spoiler isnt it? If not then how the fuck have i forgotten everything before that?!
1011732 As far as I know, they haven't yet.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Derpy_Hooves.png
Great chapter BlackWing. Not so sure that I like Hades breaking, but that just hint at the possible epicness of Grif's battle with Ember.
Also, Seaponies.
(I blame humans.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png <Especially one Sea Serpent former human.>)
1012237 Sea Pony Lyra.....
Huh. Maybe I should do one of these too. Ponies will want to know how Cinder and Ungehorsam fused.
1011477 It's a vision to us, not Griffin.
perfect dude like it cant wait for the next
Not gonna read. *spoilers spoil what should not be left spoiled*

1012374 Mares dig giant robots.
^ and that's how its done, promising future story arcs before we even finish the one before that story arc.
1012381 That they do. Actually, while I was searching for this in google images, I found a picture that led me back to this site and to a MLP:FiM/MEGAS XLR crossover fic.
