Terrifying, but hopefully it will serve to him as a warning of what could happen. Amazing pace(Both the plot and your writing speed), this story just gets better and better.
Stay strong, Buckminster. Christ, some of this is jarring to read.
thanks for the update!!
... was Bucky Khorne in that dream? I kinda want to see that drawn now.
Bounded to the concept of war... but how would energy, magic or not, be generated from this? The ambient bloodlust?

I dunno, the griffons might go "dakka dakka dakka."
4867427 I'm liking you more and more, based kudzu, but griffins seem more choppy than shooty.

Cadance draws power from love. Love is passion.
War... war is also passion. Of the worst sort. But there is so much more. Bucky binds himself to hatred. Anger. Strife.
It is important to note that the opposite of love is not hatred. The opposite of love is indifference. Hatred requires passion and emotion, just like love does.
Cadance and Bucky are both creatures of passion. Cadance has realised her potential, Bucky lives in fear of his.
So he wants to be dionisis? (Forgot the spelling)

Griffons in The Catch are the main creators of firearms technology. They made guns to counter magic.
So I thought a bit of dakka dakka was appropriate. Sure, they're not orcs, but they'll do.
Yay! Thaumic armour infused with demon blood! Is it thaumic armor? I hope so. Thaumic armor is amazing.
Up next: Bucky, Alicorn of War VS Armok, God of Blood.
Wait, it all makes sense now. Bucky will be the pony equivilent of Dionysus, god of wine and revalry.
So, Bucky is Tyrion Lannister?
I AM THE GOD OF TITS AND WINE
Some of what Bucky and his family goes through makes me cringe.
not so related question, what is bucky wearing in the day so he can see? something like sunglasses?
4868066
Goggles with black lenses. Sun goggles.
4868073
what about his emerald-y eye?
4868079 Why would he need a light in a bright area, where he needs to shield his eye?

Not always the case, war has many forms and sometimes you can propagate war in cold indifference. Our Nightmare War here or should we just call him Aires, maybe Mars, seems to have lost his passion. this kind of dream is an oversimplification of his fear falling to the darkness. The problem is Bucky is too focused on the negative aspects of war. All things have two categories, because its MLP let's say , Harmony and Chaos. Twilight is the element of magic, in harmony she is a bringer of friendship and peace, but if she were Nightmare Magus, she would spread loneliness and strife. Cadence as well, love would turn into Obsession and control. War has positive aspects, like honor and loyalty. What I think Bucky needs is some Celestia damned harmony, an avatar of war need not kill his opponent, where would he profit from Twilight's defeat. If he truly wanted endless war what he needs is an immortal adversary like Twilight to oppose him. An endless war built on friendship and unity might not seem very fun but harmony will prevail in the end, be it a peace forged during the fatigue of war, or in the ashes of the world when nothing remains.
Don't we all.

I know this time I am jumping to conclusions TOO soon, but, with your final sentence in this comment are you impliying that Cadence ascended because she realised her potential and Bucky will do as well when he does the same? In any case, Bucky didn't seem too shocked to recall Alicorn Bucky ascending directly to a minor alicorn on his first ascension. Maybe he sees himself as some sort of "pseudo-alicorn" now that he's a type four?
Too bad Twilight
Hold up now...
From this theory, Bucky is strong because there is a lot of war. With Twilight being the alicorn of magic, he'd have had to obliterate any race that could do magic. If he didn't, hoping that the more at war the stronger her got, then Twilight should be at least equal in power. Then again, it is a dream, and we all like power trips.
Too late, she's already here!

4867435>>4867456 Damn 40K nerds.

Keyword being minor alicorn, it was implied that she hasn't tied herself to the concept yet.
4869061
Concept is a good way to begin explaining it.
But it is so much more. Cadance, tied to love, is so much more than the concept of love. She's connected to it. She draws strength from it. If you recall, during Bucky's wedding, she felt that she could crack the planet in half if she wanted to.
And she could have.
She was the embodiment of what was felt that day, and it really is a testament to the true feelings that Bucky has towards his mares. Love is actually what is holding back what we see in this alternate future.
Cadance is able to draw from love of all types and sources.
Now, if Bucky where to become the alicorn of war, he'd draw strength from struggle of all kinds. Two siblings having a go at one another. All those odd bits of resentment in the world. Every unkind word, every angry act, anything and everything that leads to conflict of some sort.
And if the other races banded together to fight him? It would only make him stronger. The only way to stop him would be to erase all conflict in the world and for everything to live in perfect and total harmony. Which is never going to happen.
And once he's done with one world, there is a whole slew of other worlds to find, and even further forms of ascension.
And to those that brought up the notion of Nightmare Bucky, no, he was not in nightmare form. He was simply the alicorn of war. He gathered his immortality and drew up his mantle from conflict.
Nightmare Bucky would be far more frightening.
That was one intense dream!
Another good chapter.

There all life all around you
There is life all around you
" Bucky wanted to be the Unicorn of Drunken Sex."
sounds good to me
4868567
no some of us want to be the human of infinite sex
the unicorn of drunken sex? if no one makes fanart of this i am going to cry like a... well never you mind that just know that I WILL WEEP
Something tells me Alicorn of War Bucky is also that dimension-jumping Bucky that he was warned about earlier on. We were told that the dimension hopper had turned his version of Equestria into a desert and went off looking for other worlds to destroy.
...Huh.
Actually, if Bucky DID ascend to such a station, he would be in a position to, yes, destroy everything. He could end the world...
And yet... As Celestia can choose not to raise the sun, Luna can elect not to raise (or lower) the moon, Cadence could likely bar love, and Twilight could probably bar friendship.
If he wanted to, he could abolish war, hate, and violence, leaving himself powerless as long as that held true in a corruption of his purpose, if he chose to go that far. Or he could find balance, ending some wars, instigating others.
No power is inherently evil, like I said. All it comes down to is what you choose to do with it.
I have an issue with the dream, eventually, you run out of wars to fight, people realize they are bad, they loose the will to fight, they refuse to fight. War is not endless, it must end and begin anew or forever slowly grow to burn itself out permanently.

You forget that dream is a set of events that already happened in another reality. When everything was dead the Alicorn of War simply moved on to another reality through a portal/mirror according to Luna.
Alicorn of War... I like this awesome job well done dude, well done!
Ahhhh, I need a hug.
I'v got a bad feeling about this....
Sorry was that UniHORN of Drunken Sex?
4867410 basically yeah
4867410 ....Maybe? I'm thinking alt-verse Bucky.
Given that he mentioned becoming a god, Bucky Khorne isn't too far off.
