Thorax


T

After unwittingly releasing a bound spirit from the tome that had been its prison, Trixie and Gilda find themselves thrown into the dark underworld of Equestria; where not everything that goes bump in the night is a myth.

Given a chance to make a difference in the world, the misfit duo set out to put down as many creatures as possible. Fortunately they're not alone... they've got one Nightmare of a guardian angel

One, you need a proofreader.

Two, this has a lot of potential. Tracked.

That I do, I've tried many times to find one, yet they always seem to drop out after awhile.

Well, looks like they have a new job.

Good lord, but the schadenfreude if they save the Mane 6 is going to be visible from orbit... as it should, really.

Amusing enough, there were a few spelling and grammar mistakes but they were small enough to be overlooked. Overall I liked it but I'm going to need to see more chapters before I favorite. For now you can have a like.
Oh and why is it that Gilda and Trixie often end up partnered together? Not that I'm criticizing you but it does seem to happen a fair bit.

This is going to be EPIC......although you have some errors here and there so I suggest you change them, also I'm VERY good with providing anything of the Supernatural so if you ever need enemies or even maybe some allies of the sort then never be scared to email me. I hoping that the Mane six and CMC are in this soon enough, I'm not one for Trixie but for a story like this then I'm down, I'll be tracking this and as said before be helping you if you need it. :pinkiehappy: :ajsmug: :derpytongue2:

Spike/Twilight romance= FOREVER!!! :heart:

Oh, this was enjoyable. I really liked how you managed to capture the Supernatural vibe with ponies. Well, ponies and griffon. And like some others have said there were some small problems, but it was quite good and readable as it is.

707426 Probably because they both have semi-sympathetic backstories, they both came out of their episodes worse off, they're both kinda cool (Gilda's a predator, Trixie is kind of like a stand up comedian) and finally their chemistry is hilarious because it's a snark war that never stops.

i sense many shotgun blasts to the face in the near future,

So your planning on having them as friends who hate eachother? Or as business partners who barely tolerate one another?

707790 I'm not the author... but in my more general sense, not quite that so much as "vitriolic best buds", as the trope goes. They do actually care for & trust one another, deep down, but they'd never admit it even to themselves. Mainly because both of them secretly enjoy their constant bickering.

Possible anime parallel: Ichigo and Renji, or Ichigo and Ishida, from Bleach. They're nakama (ie, they'd die for one another) but every conversation they have turns into either one-upmanship, a massive argument over something minor or the one with the current advantage lording it over the other.
It's a hilarious dynamic when done right, and massive fun to write.

Oh... your not the author... :twilightblush: sorry, should've noticed that your post wasn't in red.
Still thanks for answering my question, what you say does make sense. I haven't seen Bleach but that description sounds interesting enough for me to at least check it out.

707924 I just picked it as the first series that came to mind - though it IS good, just... looong. (The anime has ended, which at least means you know where the end is...)

708300 Not true, there are sixteen seasons but I have only seen up to ten, the other six are not made in English yet and to be frank, I think Bleach is aweosme as fuck but I REALLY HATE how it goes from serious to comady, I mean it does that all the time, it's very stupid and they need to get a lot more serious for the series, it's anot a show for little kids yet not one for adults like Spawn, ya know?

I also hate how a fatal attack means that they still get up and fight, hell do they have like nine lives or something? Fuck, anyway yeah, so while the series is cool I'm just letting you both know what to expect if you have seen as much as I have. :flutterrage: :facehoof: :yay: :moustache: :derpytongue2:

711395 It's the Japanese Shonen style of things (both the comedy/action switch and the insane endurance). The latter comes of how their culture had the "battles of honour" societal standard (among Samurai) much more recently than our own, while the former I like because it's kind of how life is... in a way, anyway. Funny things do happen, all the time, and in the middle of even great tragedies.

I've been following the manga, and the subbed anime, for several years now - so I suppose I'm used to it?

The reason for the "get up and fight" thing is twofold. First off, it shows that the person who made the attack didn't put enough force behind it for it to be actually fatal (for any one of a number of reasons - mercy, hesitation, underestimation of what it would take) and the other thing is that in the Bleach setting it is canonical that having a lot of reiatsu means you're REALLY tough. Your power makes you stronger. That's been explicit since the Rescue Rukia arc.

This story deserves more view, only 105 views :rainbowhuh:? What is wrong with the readers :flutterrage:?

I know, I've been featured 3 times for short stories that have taken less than 2 hours to write.
Yet I spend 3 - 4 days straight on one chapter and it slides under the carpet.
Not sure how that works nor do I care, it's one of the great mysteries of this site.

718948 "The stories you work hardest, are the ones that get less appreciated" - Critic :moustache:

718948 718969

I think Critic has the right of it there, Thorax, though given I'm doing my own story involving some less commonly used as serious characters, after reading this, I'm kinda wondering how they'd tag team. Probably with Spitfire and Nightshade finding the undead and dealing with them peacefully where possible, but Gilda and Trixie called in when peaceful goes out the window. Which'd kinda work, and could well work in their favour since that'd give the supernatural hunters 18 ponies as potential backup/interference and there's probably something to be said for having friends in fairly high places, particularly ones with money....

718948 you think this is a failure?!!:pinkiegasp: DUDE i would kill to get my story this much fame. only one dislike and 154 views, if i had that happen to me it would be like a dream come true:raritystarry:

oh and not to mention the story is freaking amazing!:rainbowkiss:


i just had a though"was it lonely?" * cough* as i was saying before i interrupted myself. you don't even want to know what i would do for getting my story like"confound you red dot"

:pinkiecrazy:yeessss. NO grammer comments or complaining about blue skies calling him a mary sue oc. even though he is really weak and flawed. it would be peeeeerfect and gloooorius. *insane laugh with a random knife thrown in for extra creepy*:pinkiecrazy:

Good job. You managed to cross them over without doing a copy paste! Although, Nightmare Moon made me go a little wtf. I mean... Huh?

Looks good (exept for little errors).

But "Klaatu barada nikto"? That seems awful familiar. If I remember right I've heard this spell in a Cartoon :trixieshiftright:

746892
Both spells came from Evil Dead
Klaatu Barada Nikto was originally used in the "The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951 & 2008)

748111

Interisting but I think I've heard these worde somewere else... what ever.

Supernatural... As in the SHOW Supernatural?

LOL Gilda shot Nightmare Moon in the flank. :rainbowlaugh:

yes! please continue this man. This is a first in this sense, dont want to waste the chance for new ground, hmm?

Let's go over the points:
That was an awesome, very awesome, first chapter.
This is going to be an awesome story, due to the basic idea, and also Gilda and Trixie working together.
I would love to read the book on 100 Things Celestia Can Do by Best Princess. So nice of Luna to write a book for her sister. (Hold on, I need to get treated for interdimensional solar burns.)
And finally: Discord broke rules? I thought he was imprisoned 'cause the Princesses were tired of his s***. Or pranking him, or something. Meh, can't have even the two new monster hunters know that, I suppose. Only the immortals, and I'm counting the Elements.
And finally, that was awesome!

Read the story, going to have to say it was a lot better than i expected, since im not a big fan of trixie or gilda. I really liked the part where gilda was having the inner monologue about her diet and eating trixie. Should be interesting to see where you go with this, hopefully more comedic than dark.

In other news, now that i know shotguns do exist in your universe, for your Halloween chapter of whatever you write there must be zombies and shotguns

"You lousy griffin!" Shouted the enraged azure unicorn below "why don't you come down here and fight me instead of hiding in the rafters? Afraid you'll lose a few more of your precious feathers?"

"What's the matter oh Great and Powerful Trixie? I thought you were the greatest unicorn in all of Equestria, surly you can hit me if you really wanted to, or are you not as great as you claim to be?"

Trixie seethed with anger as a she prepared a spell to knock Gilda right out of the sky. Without pausing to aim Trixie released the spell, sending a large ball of blue flames hurling up into the rafters above. Sure the spell wouldn't cause any damage to the building or any real harm to Gilda, it was at least enough to shut her up for the remainder of the evening.

There was a loud squawk as spell made contact with Gilda sending her plummeting from the rafters above. Luckily for her several of the large cushioned chairs were down below to catch her. Sadly for her, her combined weight and decent speed cause the splintery death of four innocent chairs and one small table.

So is this memory? Should be marked somehow.
Stars? *****
Italic?

quote?

Edit 1.

Celestia pointed to Nightmare who was currently doing her best to drive the Lunar Princess insane
"Nightmare is an exception to the rule, by all rights she shouldn't even exist and yet her she is. So we may or may not have had her provide a little bit of outside assistance." she finished with a wink

Insane what?
Shouldn't "She" go with capital letter? And dot is missing right... here

Will there be more of this? I would like to see moar.

just gonna leave this here, can't be Supernatural without a kickass opening!

Opps, sorry wrong song! here it is!

why is this story not continued!? this is unacceptable.
:twilightangry2:

You know, I really expected them to say, as one, "How much does the job pay"

I'm really glad to see this story picking up again. It has tons of potential.

Gilda and Trixie are a very interesting duo. They both have this renegade dynamic, like they don't quite fit into Equestrian society and instead live on the fringe, so they mesh well. Even when they fight and bicker. Especially when they fight and bicker.

Hope to see more of this, definitely.

So if Luna and Celestia aren't supposed to interfere with modern events, then how come Celestia did exactly that against Chrysalis during Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding?

4514044
She faked it, jumped in but played the weakling so nobody questioned why she did nothing once Chrysalis and the Changelings had been defeated.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUCK YES, IT IS ON NOW!!!:rainbowlaugh:
