Well... god dame
I believe that should earn a few brownie points... just a few, mind.
.... Well that was honestly anticlimactic. Especially because the hag had been rather built up before.
Also there being implications that Chrysalis was, in fact, the hag, because of her similar abilities.
Shrugs
6779547
Red herring! So many people just assumed it was Queen Chrysalis. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
6779551 Even if that was the case it was implied she would be a rather major threat. All she did was scar sentinel. And that is also a rather anticlimatic way for him to lose his eye as well. Thought he would lose it fighting some major threat, like bucky did. Instead it was some withered monster that was dispatched the moment she appeared.
Be like /Luke skywalker losing his arm to a storm trooper.
"And what happened to the last one?"
"Punked out like a bitch! Silver lining: I don't have to order room service now!"
Oh, shit. Kudzu, you really are amazing. That was one of the best chapters you've written for this story.
Bucky, Lugus, and the foals' mothers are going to lose it completely when they get home. Bucky will want some revenge for what happened to his son and daughters, but he'll have to settle for the fact that the four of them defeated a very, very nasty adversary by themselves and protected many, many ponies with their own pain. And that doesn't even begin to cover how Luna is going to react.

The Hag was her own ruination, relying upon isolation like that. She had to rely upon whatever ponies happened to come her way. Not a good survival strategy. With each body she claims, with each life she absorbs, she becomes more and more, and it was like Pina had said. The Hag was already dead, caught in a trap of its own making.
It was a matter of time. Had Dinky and Pina not come along, the Hag would have either died or been forced into lichdom.
As the Hag was, it was like trying to shove 20 pounds of shit into a five pound bag. She was done for. The devil is in the details.
For those of you that missed it, this was Boadicea. She didn't just appear out of nowhere, she was there all along.
I wonder. If the Hags soul could have been trapped, I wonder how much it would have been worth in Tartarus.
6779595 Alright. Shrugs.
I think that Scorch might want to make a short trip to Tartarus. There is going to be a new resident that I think could use some special treatment.
6779595 *slow claps* Wow. Just wow. Awesome new chapter, my friend. I applaud you and bow *bows to the greatness known as KudzuHaiku*. I can't wait for the next chapter.
6779612 those were good red herrings XD
the chrysalis thing, eh not so much XP
6779660
Maybe this is what Bucky will ask Scorch for for owing him for letting his son into the school. To Bring the Hags soul to him or bring him to her so he can deal with her personally.
6779582
I don't agree, the hag is an unusual foe. She was Checkov's gun a hundred chapters ago, and She has been around for a long time and preying on the weak. She is the ideal foe for the children since she isn't an Equestria ending foe, and she has the advantage. It took everything Dinky had, along with a well timed distraction from Boadicea to take her down.
Damn! Thanks Kudzu! That's a chapter.
What do you mean...by...bre...ath....*
6779989
There is actually a very important lesson here.
The Hag could not jump into Boadicea. Had the ponies turned to other species for help they might have defeated the Hag centuries ago. But they didn't. The Hag didn't have a lot of defense against the direct approach of the old Grab & Stab™.
Arrogance is the entire underlying theme of the Hag's story. Those who opposed the Hag were arrogant, the Hag was arrogant, and her undoing was the result of her own arrogance.
The Hag's primary failure was one of logic. Dinky and Pina were powerful enough to be useful for her. Any pony powerful enough to contain her is also powerful enough to be a threat. The Hag did not acknowledge this bit of logic at all. There is actually a whole lot of underlying concepts beneath this chapter and everything leading up to it.
TL;DR, Hubris and arrogance, yo.
6779989 She is powerfull enough to overcome any common enemy, but not too powerfull to grab the attention of the superior powers that could kill her easily.
6780035
But isn't that the ultimate failing of the undying, the desire to live forever. But hardly a thought is given to what kind of life that is. Most undead become obsessed with life, Crysilis has to sacrifice her childrens future for her extra time. We even see that fate and death are not spared the ravages of time. Their souls have become threadbare. The Hag is the quintessential couch potato, content to sit and be, even though it knows it's slowly dieing. This is because it's easier to ignore the ugly truth than do something about it.
6780075
That's what makes her such a good Villian, she is a threat like any other, dangerous and calculating. Strong enough to be a threat, yet full of glaring weaknesses.
An eye for a hag?
Good trade.
Bucky's going to have a meltdown when he sees Sentinel.
6779589
Pretty sure the line is "Puss'd out..." But applicable, nonetheless.
6779751
-Derpy, whatever you do, keep Bucky in the house, and-
-Uh, he actually just left. He said he was going for a walk-
NOOOOO!
6780455
Better than releasing his Control Art Restriction Zero
6780455
That handsome face of sentinels I drew!! make him pretty again Kudz-senpai!
Well, this'll be another turn in the emotional rollercoaster that is all of the parents. "Let's teach Sentinel a lesson?" Oh, OK, now he's lost half of his face, what else do you want to inflict on him?
Ugh, that really annoys me. Unless I missed something (which I may have done, for sure), the foals didn't think "Oh, we're going into the Everfree forest, let's take some additional precautions", and the adults didn't think "Oh, I'm going to watch them from a distance, and I see they're going into the Everfree, I'm going to do something." Why does it seem like everyone is being an idiot here?
6779612
Makes sense. The Hag probably didn't have a heartbeat.
6780692 Well, if you think about it, the foals are considered trustworthy enough to do as they are told/asked without adult supervision. Most ponies are keeping an eye on Bucky...he's the immature one.
And, in a very near future...
Piña: "Mother, me, Dinky and Sentinel are going out for a walk, and maybe ice cre..."
Derpy: "MYRMIDONS ! FORM UP ! I WANT A FULL SCORT WING AROUND MY FOALS !"
Myrmidon #1: "With all due respect, Ma´am, we´re Mistress´ myrmidons. We obbey her order...oh, no, please, not the motherly stare....I´ll do as you say, ma´am...oh, Moon above, Mistress was never that terryfying...
Bucky: "Raptors ! Front and ahead. If you see a bush moving near my foals, I want that bush dead, I want that bush offspring dead, I want their corpses to be killed ! Again ! Thrice, for good measure !"
Dinky: "There is ice cream in the kitchen...better just stay home before Equestria´s defense force comes to town. Let´s grab it before it melt away..."
Sentinel: "Could we, just, never, EVER, use words like ´melt´ in this house again ?"
6780441
Etymology would put those words to have the same intent as they share roots. I also have poor hearing.
6780648
That would be Brown Note's Magical Journey, another Kudzu original.
6780035
In the Hag's defense you don't see a lot of CHILDREN with the ability to channel the power of the cosmos and fabric of reality like Dinky and Pina.
Though between this and the Sombra Arc Sentinel has been getting bitch slapped left and right lately. Probably not feeling all that useful right now either.
6781975
Regarding Sentinel; there is a reason for this. We're about to have some insight dropped on this very issue.
It's Luna's fault.
6781982
*Worship of Clotho Intensifies!*
6782636
Um, I may or may not have posted that in context.
Gore? Hmm ... I'm not sure I should read this, but ... ah what the heck ... I'll do it still. :-)
Would the Hag know of Sombra? Because if she did, all Dinky really had to do was say: "My daddy's Sombra's heir."
Huh, that's kinda Skitter of Dinky. Not very Skitter, not until she starts weaving cloaks with black widow spiders or wearing a living mask of pests, but about 150 milli-Skitters on the creep scale.

#1 That was one of the most horrifying things I have read, ESPECIALLY when Dinky let loose and things were eating her from the inside. So glad I'm not reading this at night so I probably won't have nightmares about this T_T
#2 It's great to see Dinky be able to unleash such vile horrors, WITHOUT having to resort to Black Magic!
6782648 one little flaw i found
If your going faster than sound, then you would be at your destination before the crack of the sound barrier being broken would get there.
