I'm simply a mad man who enjoys driving others mad. That way other people can see things from my perspective.

This story is a sequel to Never Dream
Daniel is finally getting a taste of the good life. He's got the girl-mare rather, a family, and the champion's crown to boot! All good things must come to an end though, as a new challenger steps forward to call his legacy into question, and plans to do everything in his power to destroy it.

Yay! We got to read marraige and birth stuff!
I'm honestly a bit bothered by the objections to whether the other story would be considered a sequel or not.

lol this made me laugh
Yep! I don't have kids, and i would definitely not be able to handle it...
Oh my God it continues...

*Coughs violently*Thats Patton with two t's my good sir.
So will your side story affect the main story when the big bad actually attacks?
6266574
Indeed it does

Thanks, I missed that one

That one is being redone. It was an attempt to introduce a third human into Equestria. Sadly, it didn't have the results I wanted, so I took it down :/ So it's going to be reworked, and executed a bit better (hopefully) In other news, I've got a chapter for a story that has been collecting dust for a while that will be coming out soon. It's been long over due, and I apologize for that.
August is my busiest work month, so it might be a while for both of these stories, but both chapters for the two stories are already at 1k+ words.
Guy treated like shit by his own father wants to avenge, for lack of better words, his death?! Or at least his pride...
Isabella and blueblood are totally doing it?!
Now i can only imagine issabella spending nearly a year as a pony being pregnant...
some editing needed, btw.
6321232
Hardly avenging, he just wants to keep the business for financial reasons.
Isabella is not pregnant, she's a cautious lass.
6321450
Well, as i said, lack of better word. Iwould imagine there is more to his taking over the company, but the way it was written out is because he wants to some how blame daniel for his father's death. That's the way i sae it.
Also, I'm pretty sure there is something there making me think there is something more complex about his situatipn giving him more motivation. Chances are, I'm trying to get too deep into the character.
I knew she isn't, just toying with the imagery.
So wait, let me make a small list of the things that happened in this one single chapter.
1st: It contained the appearance of a new villain. (Who sounds like he is planning to become an evil Tony Stark)
2nd: That coffee scene, comedy in a treasure chest.
3rd: A bit more information on the already interesting process of baby Pegasus wings. (And more of Stormwalker in general)
4th: Hints at the problem of dividing attention equally between the new foal and Scootaloo.
But, for the 5th thing: A direct nod off by an Author who was already one of my top three favorites of all time?
This is by far the best chapter of this story yet! I don't even care that my nod off character swore, I'm too happy!
Why am I thinking if Perlin from the Savage Skies universe?
So happy this chapter came out! Been waiting too long!

I know, August is a busy month, and not that ideal for writing. Still I've managed to get some stuff down
Dame you and the cliff hanger.
May your soul burn for this
*rolls up the Sunday newspaper and bops the Author on the muzzle*
bad Ximer! Bad! we do not finish chapters on cliff hangers like that.
6375030
6372948
Oh my, if this got you upset, I don't want to think about how what comes next will be taken
6375427
Wings? My god, i definitely agree with them. What the crap?!
6375427
*wags the newspaper threateningly*
DONT YOU DO IT! DONT YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT!!!! DON"T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT NOT DOING IT!!!!! MAGGOT!!!!!
Are we suppose to know Impulse from before this story just checking
6376543
No, Impulse is a new character.
Oh my god,i just went from 'that is so incredibly adorable' to 'but that.,, no, what about scootaloo?!'
"Ladies and Gentlecolts, introducing our lastest breakthrough in Equestrian technology, and the new competitor in the Pegasus Races: Zero!"

*rubs hands together all villain like*
sadly this is probably the best reason for naming something Zero i have ever heard and yet all i can think of is pony Ultron
great chapter, loved the daddy moment it was cute and if i somehow ever end up with a child i plan to steal that approach
keep up the good work and i hope to see more of your slice of life work. it is really good
still calling it as pony Ultron, but i am adding in the hope you go with the classy personality that they used for the Avengers moive rather then the classic robotic "personality"
Do i sense a potential love triangle with scootaloo?!
6430838
Idk, it has been taken into consideration before though.
6430168
He will have a personality, and it won't be bland by any means. As far as pony ultron goes, this foe needed to have an edge over Daniel in some way. Being able to keep up with Rainbow Dash(since he was still unable to beat her) put him a notch above the others. This boils down to pony vs machine.
The next chapter will focus more on the conflict in the story. As well as a hint towards the Scootaloo incident.
I'm surprised, but thankful, a problem seems to have gone unnoticed so far. It'll make the "Oh that's what that was!" even better, I hope.
6433841
what you mean like how jr. has a very weak reason for blaming Daniel what with him being away and hating his father? i just figured crazy. Anyway after a second viewing i am starting to see a strong similarity between this plot and the folklore story of John Henry the steel driving man and i got to ask if you knew. personally i hope your story has a more pg outcome the folklore did.
6433911
I had to wiki it. The ending I had planned is not similar, if that puts your mind at ease.
I have not actually
Science and magic were never meant to be combined. Zero is far from lifeless, and I hope his "father" learns that before Zero learns that he is stronger than his creator.
Really....By the end of this...if that little kid doesn't get what is coming for him, I'm gonna have to assassinate someone with a scoped mosin nagant 91-30
6456828
There are several kids in the story. Not quite sure which one you meant
6457190 that kid with the robot......god damn, that sound like some movie with bad CGI...
6458770
Ah, Impulse. He's a stallion actually.
IAMGAMGEWGSRNGARS...seriuos fuckingly??
6473857
What? You seem a bit...disturbed
6474018 I'm frustrated with the princesses's attidute...Artifical intelligence is not enough...You need a soul or something else for it...And those who did not learn from history or from others will repeat the mistakes. Also...Impulse is really impulsive in his decisions and goals...he doesn't think of the conciquences...Impulsive idiot.
One of the story I read offer a very brillian solution...Treat the newborn AI like a newborn child...Give them a family and everything...With a little bit of advancement in bio-engineering give them the ability to reproduce too. That would give them something. That would create a better AI that is not prone to rebel or fall to the darkside.
Those who was born heroes are great because of their sacrifices.
Those who became heroes are great because of things that they didn't sacrify.
6474138
that's the idea, hence the name.
I really want to type more about Zero, believe me. But doing so would spoil things. Also they didn't take Impulse seriously, hence why they set down a condition they believe he can't meet.
Slow telling is always nice.
Am I too late to 'dawww' about the discord scene?
6523899
It's never too late for d'awws
It seem we are going to have a machine rebel against creator later down the line.
The way impulse and that other pony whose name I keep forgetting does thing...That is inevitable.
6532269
I foresee another sweetiebot... Existential crisis, go! (I'm actually hoping so...)
Revenge warps motives. Impulse wants to humiliate the guy that his father foolishly rejected... Either way, making a robot/android pegasus? I am extremely worried.
Discord might have just earned some Godparent points.
Let's see... Name: Zero, Emphasis on the 'soulless' part, 'Unsettling' noises from the head, Need of a lasting power source, fringe science/tech/magic, and of course the misguided revenge and avenging motives...
That's a lot of flags waving in the air. A whole lot... I really hope I'm wrong though.
Thunderlane just earned a whole lot of points from me. Hopefully he and Daniel can develop something of a friendship. Daniel needs more Stallion friends. Scootaloo earned points too. Like Daniel observed, apologizing without having to be prompted.
Stormwalker's developing into quite the little manipulator, isn't he? He should be glad he's adorable though.
Zero... so many flags. And Impulse needs to take off the blinders. He's not noticing all the unnerving aspects of his work that he should. He really is marching down the road of a comic book misguided villain XD
Well... As satisfying as it was so see Zero quickly dispatched without causing major harm to anypony, we have yet another person out for petty revenge, this one snagging a magic item that has been shown to have been developing flaws... You people a your revenge schemes...
Oi... and the two cross paths and team up. Impulse is definitely the misguided brilliant scientist. And Daniel... could have presented his case and done his approach better. Impulse's clockwork tech is impressive, but seriously... his creation already proved it can't hold up to stress all that well and goes berserk quickly... oi...
Also, you're comparing a human with a machine that snapped at attacked ponies? No offence, Princess, but that's seriously skewed. A human is a sapient, Zero is a toy at the moment. Making the comparison if Impulse had already stumbled on a way to make Zero a full AI, sure, but at the moment? That's seriously off...
