Kestrel


Kindness can save the world. You just have to keep reaching out.

T

In a world where technology and magic have progressed to an equal level, a new sport has arisen for great minds to showcase the power and intricacies of their superior worksmanship. Supreme Steam, the newest sport made by and for young minds. Rainbow Dash has been following her favorite team from Cloudsdale Academy over the past few years of the sport, wanting to take it up herself, but not having the ability to create such mechanical masterpieces. But this year with her friend Twilight, maybe things will be different, and she'll take it all, the tournament, the glory, and the fame.





Looking back now, man this sure showed it was a first story :derpyderp2: I feel like I've improved so much since writing this! :twilightsmile: -6/30/2015

Ooooooooooo I love it!!:rainbowkiss: The characters were spot on and the humor timed well. I couldn't help but laugh a couple times. I think you did a wonderful job with this Kestrel ^â—‹^ I can't wait for the next chapter, keep up the fabulous work :raritywink:

Woohoo! First story is up!! Ain't that the best my friend?:raritywink:

Nice to see you finally wrote something my friend.

5624684 That made my head hurt :rainbowlaugh: it was quite complicated. But amazing all the same :derpytongue2:

Glad you posted a story dude.:pinkiehappy: Good read as well.

5624714

It's not too bad. I'm just glad people are happy enough with it

5624791

Thanks, it's not much, but I'm glad people like it

5624684

Haha, don't worry about it. Twilight's just really smart.

5625227

Heh, I'm sure it'll do well. I'll give a better little comment once I've read it.

This story is so awesome! I really like it so far! :pinkiehappy:

having caught herself from outright falling asleep in her history class twice.

That right there is what my best friend does when she gets bored during class.:rainbowlaugh:

5625009

I'm glad you enjoyed it :twilightsmile:

Tracking this. Love the concept. :pinkiehappy: Machines vs. machines is awesome... :rainbowdetermined2:

I love how the characters are portrayed, maintaining their original spirit yet still distinct and fresh.

The opening scene gave me a very "Legend of Korra" vibe with the radio for some reason... :rainbowhuh: Not sure why.

5626199

I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't quite sure about how to do the radio scene a first, considering there's less than what woul be offered at an in person scene, but that was the idea

5626235 I personally feel that it sets up the opening tone perfectly, teasing just enough to give the reader a taste of what comes next.

5626247

Like I said, that was the idea. I was just worried at first it wouldn't be able to give enough information early on. That's the reason it's so dialogue heavy there. I needed the announcers to do their job in order to get most of the information out.

Man it took a while to read it. Interesting, I'm new to stempunk, but I fully enjoyed this. Looking forward to chapter next.

5626592 I've been pretty eager to read it since you told me about it when we met. It didn't let me down.

This made me cry.

MANLY TEARS FROM HOT GIRLS IN GIANT MECHS!

MOSTLY GIANT MECHS THOUGH!

5624684
“Oooooh, so the particle energy field from the generator reacts with the inertial magic created by the movement of the machine and the strength of our hearts and minds! The extreme energies of the superconductive magnets accelerate the bond breaking and forming of all the little elements to boost the raw power of the magic.”

Ok so that's saying, There is an energy field.
And that field reacts with created by the movement of the machine and the strength of your mind and heart.
then the energy of the magnets makes raw magic.

Twilight mumbled under her breath. “The magic in turn reverses those reactions, which would otherwise be impossible, creating an endless loop, providing a nearly limitless supply of energy. That’s brilliant! Although, it would be better if we added in a few microchips to channel the magic into a more controlled way, enhancing the output of the machine… If we added in something I’ve made, we should see a… 43.1 percent increase in functionality of the design!”

Then the magic made by the movement makes more movement. thus nearly infinite energy. But if we control the magic we make more movement and more magic and so on so a more effective circuit and more energy. And this + something twi made makes it 43.1% more effective

This should be an interesting read *tucks it away into read-laters.*:pinkiecrazy:

Thank you or the interest :twilightsmile: I'll do my best not to dissapoint

:yay:

I really enjoy this story, my only (admittedly, minor) gripe is that it only updates once per week

5654058

Heh... sorry, I'm in college right now, so I'm studying hard. I also want to try to provide steady content without having to make you guys wait for longer if I'm slow. This way I've got 3 weeks currently to make my next chapter, so there's less pressure. I don't want to have to make my readers wait if I can avoid it. So consider this the lesser of two evils :twilightsheepish:

5654268 that's fine. It's just that this story is so good that I don't want to wait for the next chapter.

5655448

I'm flattered. I'm just glad this didn't bomb like I thought it would. Most first time fics don't o so well from what I've seen.

Here's a hint: Get several chapters ready at a time. Then publish them day after day to get people to notice it! THIS IS AWESOME!

I'M CRYING TEARS OF MANLINESS! GIANT ROBOTS ARE AWESOME!

5656874

But then I'd run out of content very early. I don't have time to make more each week all the time. I could release the other three chapters I have, but then you might be waiting a long time for more

5657122

You guys would rather just wait on me to make new content? Cause I can kinda guarantee you that updates will be a lot slower once all the chapters are out.

5657128 I would like you to continue to type as you update.

is v.g.
so very GOOOOD

THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY SEXILY HOT AND AWESOME!

GIANT ROBOTS AND PONIES FOREVER!

Honestly?
You write better than I do...
And I've been told I'm pretty good.
This is great!
Xd I can't figure out whether I want to imagine the mechs from MechWarrior or from Pacific Rim (I think that's what it's called, some movie back in early-mid 2000's.)
Lol I'll probably just do some kind of combo with a unique twist thrown in, I don't know. :twilightsmile:

5718492

Heh, I've derived my story's mechs from a bunch of different sources of inspiration. One of those is however Pacific Rim.

5718532 Cool!
I've honestly only played a demo of the game for it, but it was still pretty interesting.
Those epic moments when you guess right lol

5718645

It's more so based off of custom battle robo and real steel

Plz make a sequel, I beg of you. This was pure awesome! :rainbowdetermined2:
