The Conversion Bureau: Rise Again - kildeez



Humanity has fallen, and the ponies are left to mourn their loss. Fortunately, there's one thing they've all forgotten: you can't keep a good apex predator down.

Chapter VII: The Final Message

This is a message to the sapient creatures of the universe, from Earth. As you may be aware, our world has recently undergone some drastic changes, both in how our laws of physics function, and in our companions here. As you also may have heard, we recently drove off an entire armada sent here with the sole purpose of enslaving all who lived here. While we are rather upset that our first contact with a truly alien species would be so negative, we are willing to overlook this small fluke in what we hope is a long, prosperous, and mutually beneficial relationship between our kind and the various children of all stars. All we ask in return for this incredible act of mercy and goodwill is that you remember one thing:

Earth, and every single one of its inhabitants, is under our protection. Both the ponies of Equestria and any wildlife they bring with them are now our charges, and we will do whatever it takes to defend them. If any of you wishes to question how far we are willing to go to uphold that last statement, we are transmitting with this message an abridged history of our species, and the knowledge that we have discovered certain frequencies in the magical harmonies we are attuned to that would resonate with the very same processes maintaining your conscious beings, your “souls,” if you will. Do not tempt us.

If a single hair on the head of one of the creatures in our charge is harmed, we will know.

We are now one with powers beyond understanding.

We are no longer creatures of flesh and blood, but are capable of so much more.

We are a force, granted powers to do as we please.

We are determination and strength.

We are will.

We are love.

We are pain.

We are hope.

We are sorrow.

We are joy.

We. Are.

Thought the site was having a spaz attack. But it turned out to be chapters. :moustache:

You went all out didn't you?:ajsmug: 10/10 I approve:moustache:

Since i can't like a story twice i'll just +1
and here have this :rainbowdetermined2:

6020290 :trollestia:

6020344 Apparently, I'm king of the one-liners today

6020362 Like this one, I like dis one

6020371 Go big or go home

6020462 GO BIG OR GO HOME

6020517 Yep, we now transcend our physical forms, so EAT IT JOHNNY DEPP! I WANT A REFUND FOR THAT MOVIE!

6020548 Cat-marshmallow things...:rainbowlaugh:

6020556 Thankee! Have a mustache back! :moustache:

6020587 YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!

Holy shit, this was awesome!

A few things I didn't like as much were the way you characterized Celestia in the first chapter. When I first started writing, a wise man once told me that "Less is more." You get much more bang for your buck through subtlety. I have a hard time picturing Celestia wailing and screaming like she did. A few whimpers and calm, collected crying would have worked better. Also, I really wish we could see Twilight investigating this whole thing. You have introduced an incredible phenomenon here, and just as we start to realize it... the story ends. I hate to sound like the mindless masses demanding "MOAR", but more chapters diving into this and exploring its potential would be amazing.

Regardless, this was a really great story, friend! :ajsmug:

The will of the Earth a passive bloodknight, absolutely pathetic until you piss it off and helps you remember and understand the BLOODKNIGHT part:scootangel:

6020628 And then we hit you like a fist out of thin air

6020715 Thanks! As for more...I'm sorry, I just have nothing planned and plenty of other projects to keep me busy, this is going into that ever-growing cabinet of "maybe in the future, but probably not," as it is I'm just happy to call this one done, sorry if that disappoints :fluttershyouch:

6020727 Moral: don't piss off the god-tier apex predators.

Nyarlathotrot, "Wherever there is light, there is shadow. See that there is no point in living. Cry out that there is no answer. I, myself, am all of you humans." [youtube= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfawau30Olk]

The human instrumentality.

6021282 And we are content with it.

6021132 Because you tried to break me, I can never be broken...nice

A TCB story. A TCB story where humanity is wiped out, even if it was accidental and not the usual MWAHAHA PONIFY THE MONKEYS stuff. A TCB story that managed to turn human extinction into the most HFY TCB ending of all.

I'm... genuinely impressed at this turn of plot.

...now where's my "clapping pony" emoticon, FIMfiction, I demand this. :trixieshiftleft:

The way I see it, since their collective is composed of networked but still individual human minds both disembodied and in pony form, and since those minds are still mentally the same they still count. They're just running on different hardware now.

6022556 humans are God. 'Nuff said.

Humans ascended,ponies are protected by unbeatable guardians and a sweet mare is enjoying lots of hot action.Now this is trully happy ending!:moustache:

6023721 I thought so too

6023108 No, but I like it and will claim credit for that connection all the same

6022728 It's a thing I do :twilightsmile:

6021722 mebbe :twilightsheepish:

6022556 I suppose not, or maybe the word itself needs to change?

Great story! Have a fluttershy :yay:
But all i can think of now is discord trying to cause chaos on earth, only for everything to backfire onto him spectacularly.

6024212 hhmmmmm....

6025891 From the ashes...yesss...

6030655 It's cool, I got the gist

6031567 Shit, should I have added a "comedy" tag?

There's one last word that's needed. Fain. We. Are. Fain. It fits nicely, doesn't it? Sorry, The Last Dragon Chronicles is one of my favorite book series and I remember that in those books Humanity ascends to become Fain, I believe. Invisible beings that have no existence except in frequencies of auma or whatever and they are entirely separate but can join together. Beings that can "possess" things in the world, sapient, sentient, non-sentient, non-living, or otherwise.

6043469 I now have a new recommendation for my reading list, thanks!

That was some good ass shit.

Would smoke this up if this was a drug.

6164879
Cocane is one hell of a drug

6165869 6164879 Dude...hands are like...arm-spiders...

6166027
I stole grand moms happy pillz

6166310 huehuehue...

6167293
I see music and hear colers

Actually, Nythy in this context is dark side of humanity. Everyone has their saint and sinner within them. Whose to say every human who died or was changed wasn't a psychotic, sadist, or sociopath? And thus now are part of the will as well.

When an ape used a tool for the first time to defend itself, and defied what had been up to that point the natural order of the world, he realized he was lord of the universe.

I imagine Will finding out there are other big fish in the pond.

6211422 Perhaps...sequel if anyone wants to write it, right there.

Five words: DONT! FUCK! WITH! OUR! SHIT!

6211544 maybe you could maybe make an extra chapter one day on how the different aliens all reacted to the message.

6414648 I didn't really have plans for that, but nice idea!

6558052 What are they going to do with those ships with non-corporeal bodies?

FUCK YES I LOVED THIS YOU SIR OR MAM HAVE TALENT

6877067 Thank you, and it's sir, thank you so very much! :)

6970294 If I haven't caused at least one existential crisis, I haven't done my job :)

7075515 Thanks! There's actually another story with a similar concept, Greyscale

YES YES!!!! ALL THE YES!!!! This is the type of TCB stories that I love. Right up there along with the story Final Message this makes my list of top ten TCB stories.
