Just a though here.
When he was younger, Sir Winston Churchill tried to break the enemy lines with a forward force through Gallipolly, in Australia, dirung the World War I. It was a onslaught. The force was completly destroyed. The captains of the ships asked for a retreat and he answer was "What do you (the captains) expect ? This is war !".
His carrer in the Ministry of War endeed there.
He started all over again, as a soldier, and clinbing ranks, during the final years of WW I. When the World War II broke, England only kept fighting due, mostly, to Sir. Churchill speechs and tactics. He was one of the most important (if not THE most important) person to keep the Reich at bay long enough to allow the allies to build up and get Europe back.
After the war, he tried to re-elect as Prime Minister and lost. So much for gratitude.
That doesn't seem like it could be all that is upsetting Applejack. I wonder if she's pregnant and doesn't know it yet. She's the last of the Mane Six to not be with foal (or their SO in Rarity's case) at this point.
And then, this came immediately to mind.
6207986
Oh, she's pregnant. It's even been mentioned in a subtle sort of way.
6207984
Yes but we remember Winston Churchill. I have no clue who came before or after Churchill, but Winston Churchill himself will be forever remembered in the annals of history.
6207998 Oh believe me, Bucky WILL BE remebered. Not sure how exactly, but he will.
6207995
Does Applejack know that she is, though?
6208013
Yes. She knows. She's just not the sort to complain about it or make a fuss, so it is very hard to slap lights on it and announce it in a bold way.
......If it was specifically targeted at the unicorn batteries...... Then it could make more sense than i thought.
Lacking any will anymore, the energy inside of them would have been inert, vulnerable. More malleable to outside forces...... Could not see it happenign with a normal unicorn though, whose will is still in connection to its energies.
Though i cannot comprehend how we had ANY survivors from that. Or enough to be an issue anymore. They are immensely vulnerable now. Lost their ships, lost almost all their resources. they would be easy prety to monsters.
6208015
Then the next question becomes do the rest of the Mane Six know own that she's pregnant?
Knowing what I do now, Applejack's attitude makes sense. She knows exactly what the mirror travelers will do to Earth Ponies all too well (poor Babs), she expects to have an Earth Pony foal as well. It's not a 100% chance given the Cake Twins, but still. So she's very grateful to Bucky and all he does to stop the mirror travelers. Probably sees Bucky as extended family on some level. And an attack on one Apple is an attack on them all. And pregnancy hormones probably don't help things any.
6208041 Mirror Travelers: "We have an army !"
Bucky: "I have a pregnant apple family member..."
MT: "What are you doing ? Run, your fools...RUN !"
6208039
Some were smart and realised that they were underground with lots of hydrogen. They saw the incoming golems, realised a bit fight was happening, and fled.
Some did, anyway.
Others decided to stick it out and fight.
6208048
6208049 guys who are now screwed one way or another cause they can't go back, and they are gonna get hunted down.
6208066
Or they might get lucky, keep running, and make it to another hiding place. (Like the one south of Saddle Arabia)
Of course, that poses its own set of problems.
i feel bad for Bucky... he did what he had to do, and the world will hate him for that.
6208068 they would have to survive the trip in a world where you couldp ractically buy eldritch abominations as pets.
6208085
And they come from a world plagued with demons.
acorrding to previous chapters shit and ass are nonsensical words. it is supposed to be shite and arse and feck. sunset discussed this with bucky's herd. sorry.
6208146
Nope.
Fuck / feck were that discussion.
Arse / ass and shit / shite are regional dialects.
6208048
:*Smashes the Night Stallion like Hulk on Loki* Puny Alicorn...
I LOVED AJs outhouse explanation. Simple, uncooth, fitting.
6208325
Uncouth? What's uncouth?
So there was an atomic explosion?
Seems a bit far fetched; hydrogen bombs don't actually contain hydrogen (H1), but deuterium (H2), I think.
I hope it wasn't of the same yield as the Tsarbomba...
FUCK...I HATE being slow....
One major thing happened in this chapter and I suspect it is more relevant then what we think. The Elements of Harmony banded together (maybe in a subconscient way ?) to discuss the whole war situation AND Bucky acts ?
Why is that relevant ? ´Cause the Elements are THE face of harmony in this world (remember how Fancy reacted to their presence after the massacre ?) !!! As far as I can remember, they never discussed anything this relevant before, with what appears (I can be wrong) some intentation to get the matters on their hooves. I´m strungling with my limited english grammar here but, ´till this point, they talked ´bout everything happening like friends discussing any matter. But, NOW, I feel that there are more then just discussing...that they are coming to terms of a decision, and this WITHOUT the bigger players involved (Celestia, Bucky, Luna). Not only that but the talk happens with the lingering of the future...Flutters and her foals, Pinkie, RD, Twilie all pregnant...Rarity with the prospect of a foal soon (from Coco ? Can´t remember...). The future being defined while they all have the very future (the foals) with they, even in the hooves, or in the bellies.
There is something very powerfull on that.
6208633
No where did it say that it was an atomic explosion.
Just a few airships filled with hydrogen gas that ignited.
6208634
No Twilight either.
Just five friends, trying to figure out this new world they find themselves in.
6208647
Wouldn't that be an interesting knick knack for a mirror traveller to pick up...
6209632
They Kinda need Equestria in a livable condition I would think.
6207986
Makes perfect sense that she'd be upset. She understands the honesty of staying true to your strengths, and the injustice of being looked down upon for plying them. She's been a farmer her whole life - she's kept people alive with her food and hard work, and I guarantee you she was still looked down upon by ponies for being a simple apple farmer. She knows what it's like to be effectively spat upon for doing what you got to do.
Bucky is where he is and who he is because of what he can do. What they need him to do. He's doing what his country both expects and demands. Because it wasn't pretty, now they're taking the mother of all dumps on his head and then telling him it's his fault he smells like shit. Scapegoating him for their own guilt at what they made him do. (The common person, anyway. His peers are upset that this might/has harmed public opinion, which is also important as the public fuels the war effort, and the war can be lost if the public stupidly takes their moral outrage over their need to surive.)
Anyone with a sense of justice would be itching to yell someone's ear off. And since Applejack has personal experience with this sort of thing, and it being directed to someone who saved her life and helped her family, and she happens to be naturally aggressive anyway - then everything here perfectly falls into place. Pregnancy hormones or not.
SPOON!!

Some reading. *LINK* Studied this stuff for a few reports in my youth. It's related to some of the fire fun I have these days.
Explosions can usually be broken into two primary forms of energy release, heat and concussive force. Things like shrapnel are just along for the ride with those two forces. When in an enclosed space concussive force is amplified and heat can carry it's own fun effects that can be a secondary ignition point when exposed to open atmosphere. This is why things like a pressure cooker bomb, the newest bomb fear craze in the US, are as dangerous as they are and why dynamite and nitro are usually put into a hole before being set off.
Multiple volatile reactions happening all at once, that carry the heat and concussive force all on their own and then chained with things that literally ignite the atmosphere , hoo boy... BIG bada BOOM!
Perhaps, but you still require a really big boom to remove a mountain....
6210557
When the mountain is hollowed out enough to hold multiple airships, which are really, really big, and the blast is contained inside, you get a really big boom.
It is like how holding a firecracker in the palm of your hand is harmless. But you wrap your fingers around that firecracker, and you're going to have a bloody, meaty stump where your hand used to be.
6209683
just gotta use a couple to sow the fear and keep some in reserve to keep them cautious. A few won't end the world and just the threat could be more useful to the mirror travellers than a full scale glassing.
All this talk of spoons reminds me of my favorite spoon reference;
"Why a spoon, cousin?"
"Because it would hurt more, you twit!"
6210717
No, to lead you...
6208291 Knowing Bucky, that was probably Plan B
6210658 True, but detonating a few would give clever unicorns like Bucky and Twilight the information they need to counter them. A magic field that dampens neutron emissions of the fissile material by say 5% would be enough to fizzle any subcritical mass device. Which would make for interesting storytelling in and of itself
*slow clap* Well spoken Applejack.
6210828 knowing bucky, plan b also had the remains of the exploded ponies come together into flesh golems that melt anypony they touch and absorb them, getting bigger, and these golems go after enemies of equestria.
Missing 'is' between 'this' and 'a'.
Found another typo for you to spoon.
I tried to find that scene from American Dad where Roger was cleaning an outhouse and had to go in the hole and then that fat guy went in to take a dump and it hit Roger, but i couldn't find a video of it.
Man I though it was the rape bomb.

And once all the targets have been eliminated, the shambling abomination would go somewhere remote and proceed to transmute its physical mass into energy. Let's just say that matter/energy transmutation is particularly exciting.
Bonus points for opening a portal to the Night Stallion's origin world and forcing a sunrise in the extremely local area.
