Sweet Celestia's mane.... Rarity has taken about 9001 levels in absolute badass. the whole chapter had me almost literally on the edge of my computer chair with the epicness... I cannot express how much i am loving this story so far, definitely going on my list of my most favorite fanfics of all time
*brohoof*
amazing
Why must I love these dark tales so much. When I read the stuff that happens to the characters I look something like And yet I keep coming back for more emotional punishment.
Notch would be so proud of Rarity.
199217So would tick-tock, and warpony, And nightmare moon.
So, so good. This is top quality. It's dark, yet it never feels over the top, and the hints of back story behind the mane six (particularly Rarity) help keep things believable.
Not to mention it's just so freakin' cool.
So long story cut brutally short: I can't wait to keep reading.
199217 I see what you did there!
Well this instance of Rarity's family sure got swiss cheesed by canon
Welp, i've only read three chapters, but this is by far one of the best fics i have read yet. Would you like cookies or internetz with that favourite you'll be getting?
This is amazing! I will give you your 500th thumbs up!
Well...Well buck
I started, read the first chapter, found myself dreading the second chapter, and now I can't stop reading. Bravo.
Also: I would LOVE to see fan art involving the different blades of various characters, or even humanized versions using them
...Note to self: Practice drawing characters, animate blade forming sequences in Flash. ???? profit
Damn this story is good, but a few things to point out.
Why were Nihilus' puppets trying to kill the rest of the Mane 6, when Nihilus ordered them to bring them to her alive?
And when Nihilus thinks "In truth, they were the only reason he and his parents were still alive.", how are the Mane 6 keeping Titan, Terra, and Empyrean alive, when Titan is much more powerful than Nihilus?
There are several instances where you use "hand" where "hoof" could be used, unless you're doing that on purpose.
And in the first chapter, you still have the story titled "Ponies Make War". Is that intentional?
Can't wait for the epic awesomeness that will be the final chapter.
199217 I can swing my sword sword, sword my diamond sword sword.
Gah! I always dreaded the scene with Rainbow beating Pinkie!
Anyways, this story is just as awesome as I remembered it and now that I've gone over it once, I can see the backstory hints in the earlier chapters more clearly and understand them. I also remember that there's is still so much to be revealed!
Wish there was more I could say but the memories from my first reading are making me nostalgic.
Silver out!
I know that this can't be canon now, as we know that Rarity's father isn't a soldier, but Rarity being trained to be a super soldier is too interesting. I have things to do right now, but I will continue to read this. Please continue this if it isn't done already.
And it was this chapter that cemented my irrational fear of the mind. Still love it though.
And on that day everyone gained a level in badass... Except for Nihilus Nix Naught and her redundantly redundant name.
Good to know the other four can hold their own against Tartarus' Royal Abominations, here...
HOLD ON TWILY, DASHIE! THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP WILL SET YOU FREE SOON!!
Is Rarity's childhood and skill at fighting a reference to Silent Jade from Wanderer D's The Empty Room, by any chance?
Also, silly Nihilus, friendship is why your minions got their flanks kicked!
...still doesn't make up for what you did to Rainbow Dash and Twilight, though.
So The Stare is able to OHKO those fake ponies...Fluttershy, you had better be prepared to weaponize your eyes.
I have a feeling I'm going to be up until 6am finishing this. Amazing story so far, I can't wait to see what happens.
So, Celestia knows how to play chess, her plan is already going in the right direction.
Several things. 1 Nihilus is a cool name, but Nyx Naught ruins it.
2. You have helped me gain more respect for a certain fashonista.
3. Like how you took the two ponies most likely to stand a chance against the villains, and turned them evil.
... DAYUM. This is good.
Mac: Woot, free money!
Twilight: Yeah, at the expense of throwing a Princess!
Mac: What, you're one too, now, so this is just a cat fight. Rowr!
*Twilight throws Mac into a wall of spikes, causing numerous coins to burst out of him*
Mac: Oww, okay, too Sonic Adventure for my tastes...
Okay, riffing aside, this chapter's awesome so far! Can't wait to see what's happened to Rarity, hee hee~ Back to reading~!
Edit: That name, I like. Nihilus Nix Naught. It's a bunch of nothing. One could even say, oh... Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Dark Side, perhaps?
2235687
Nihilus comes from Nihilism, one definition being: The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
Another definition follows along the line of nothingness, or a sense that nothing matters, or that nothing exists. Nix and Naught also mean nothing. Therefore, Nihilus's name literally means a whole lot of nothing.
HAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR Battle Mistress RARITY with her blood diamond sword of awesome!
When AJ figths I can only think in "Mother Nature lend me you strength!!"
Awesome sauce and i have to say that SB Chornichles got me here XD
This makes me so angry, but only because it's good. INTERNAL CONFLICT!
I love how nihilis writes a letter to the prince in the end
Do it is just me or is Twilight overpowered in this story while Luna and Celestia are underpowered ( weakened or not, Luna is still Alicorn and should not lose again Twilight so easy ).
2604284
In all fairness, I would imagine that the Shard give a significant boost of power, not to mention that Luna was injured and half-exhausted to begin with.
Holy shit! Now I'm sad. I can't believe that she would kill Sweetie like that! Now that was quite a grand chapter in total. Pinkie is pure insanity, AJ kicks hard and Big Mac is a tank, Rarity's father used to be a military pony and taught her how to kick serious flank with a diamond blade, Fluttershy can kill with the stare, Corrupted Dash is awesome (even though she can't really keep herself from doing what she is told) and Nihilis is beyond powerful and crazy with her plans.
Oh, it. Is. On!
2278551 Other way around. Nihilism comes from Nihil which is a shortened, indeclinable form of Nihilum. Nihilus is a fictional masculine form of Nihilum.
At first I didn't enjoy that rarity of all ponies knew more than the others.
Now that we're getting some flesh and blood into the mold im starting to enjoy it.
Ah, so you went and explained it the chapter after I complained about it. You sly bastard. You really made sure to cover every aspect of your story, didn't you? Well, don't get used to my fanboyish praise since this chapter was not quite as good as the previous two, so I'll actually have some meaningful things to say about this chapter.
Let's start with what I liked. First, you gave us some insight into Rarity's youth, which got hilariously destroyed within less than a week of this story being published (although I'm not sure when you published this on Google Docs). Again, a little too grimdark for me, but I liked the touch of breaking the flashback into bits and pieces and spreading them out over Rarity's fight with the shadow-ponies and Nihilus. I also like how you kept Twilight and Luna's power relatively close to canon - the bit about 'enough kinetic force to uproot a tree' seems like the amount of power Twilight could realistically exert given Boast Busters, especially with Nihilus there which I suspect had something to do with her power too. Luna not being able to beat Nihilus with Twilight's power and the Made Of Iron spell while being wounded and tired seems about right. I know that this chapter was published before the events of "A Canterlot Wedding" where Celestia canonically used a sunbeam, but even that seems to be relatively in line with what we see here. I always love canon-consistent fics.
Another thing I really liked about this chapter is that you dialed back the grimdarkness a bit and gave us some hope. The rest of the Mane 6 escaped relatively unharmed (although how severe Pinkie's condition is after being strangled to unconsciousness remains to be seen) and Twilight is not only safe from Nihilus but knows about all of his plans, which could be a massive asset when Twilight gets freed (although I'm sure that you'll make it so that they won't be able to go EoHsplosion on Titan, Terra and Nihilus just like that).
Also, two of those shadow-ponies to Fluttershy's cottage? I laughed out loud when I read that. I laughed even harder when Nihilus thought she had escaped due to her minion's inability to fly. Oh boy, is she going to be in for a surprise!
Now on to the things I didn't like. First, Nihilus seems to be evil just for the sake of being evil. Celestia said she'd be insane and have a deep, deep hatred for the rest of the Mane 6, right? Then where is it? The only thing in this chapter that reminded me that Nihilus hates Twilight's friends is her saying to Luna that she doesn't hate her nearly as much. Well, it doesn't show. Sure, her spell she used on RD was excruciatingly cruel, but in the light of her plan to use the Elements of Harmony to overthrow Titan and Terra it seems more like her being sadistic because she can than actively hating the Mane 6. Nihilus, as she is now, seems to hate every living thing besides herself equally. Sure, Celestia said she hates the Mane 6 especially and she herself said as much to Luna, but it's not showing. Either the violence and cruelty against the other ponies needs to be dialed down or the violence and cruelty against the Mane 6 needs to be dialed up. For obvious reasons, I prefer the former.
As for Nihilus's supposed insanity, I'm not seeing it. She seems awfully rational even in the middle of mortal combat, given that she showed Luna where she kept the Elements on purpose. Even putting that aside, the rational reasons for sending the amount of shadow-ponies she did to every remaining member of the Mane 6 is far too rational for a supposed insane individual that hates the targets. The only thing so far that showed she hates the Mane 6 is her taunting of RD and Twilight at the end of chapter 2 and her ordering RD to beat Pinkie 'to an inch of her life', but that's it. It feels like Nihilus is more occupied with trying to crush their spirits so they will be obedient for purely practical reasons than to torment them.
TL;DR Nihilus is too rational for an insane monster with a deep hatred.
2992718 In a previous chapter, Rarity said the CMC were on a sleep over. So maybe Sweetie Bell's alive? Hopefully, Scoots, Pinkie, and the sane portion in her will return Rainbow Dash to normal. Here's to hoping!
NO! We lost another one! Pinkie, why? Why didn't you run?! WHY?! Rest in Peace, my friend...
R.I.P
I've had this story in my Read Later list for the better part of a year.
Why I waited so long is a mystery I will never solve. This is fantastic. *Reads on*
4974988 Dude, she got KO'd. Not killed.
211981 You don't get it, do you?
This wouldn't be a Warhammer 40k reference, would it?
Of all the idiotic things.
Right?
don't ever question pinkie pie
Are lungs not hollow?
"The"
badass
Early Modern English has rules. Randomly adding in "eth" to the end of words is not one of them.
8561564
Lungs are actually spongy rather than hollow
I used to avoid the dark and gore tags cause "that's not the mlp style"
Glad I got past that
This has been one of the best stories I've read in a while, and I've just barely started it
Ok, once again, scattered thoughts.
-Yes! See, this is what I think the movie was trying to say and do (Just not as awesome or with as badass scenes for Rarity) was that, yeah, they aren't soldiers bred for battle, but give them a chance and they make for some pretty badass fighteers. I love seeing how, when the chips are down, they each managed to pull out a skill that make them scary fighters to contend with.
-Another thing I enjoy is the idea that this fic brings up, that Twilight doesn't know war magic. Wich makes sense, it also kind is supported by her fights with Starlight and even Tempest. While we all know she is a badass fighter and a great mage, her own morals (Friendship, desire to talk through a problem, not wanting to kill, and her own crippling self doubt) hold her back a lot. This asks, what if she doesn't and is in "Kick Tirek's ass" 24/7. Makes me wonder about the fights with Tempest, Starlight, and Sunset. (Lose, Win, Lose unless Twilight manipulates her)
-Rarity is one of the most awesome characters in this story bar none.
I read the Sweetie Belle Chronicles, and always wondered, faintly, what those gems actually were.
Looks like now I have my answer~
