Episode 42: Four Way Meele! The Crimson Vengence Vs. Kaiju Crimson Knight Leader Kersey Vs. Mecha Strong Head Vs Former Knight Changer (Cutting the Funds Part Finale)
Opening Theme:
The three combatants are all blasted away from each other by one of the guard's weapons, and they all stare at one another. There is a tense silence as you stare down the giant Kersey, Strong Head and Charger. This silence goes on for awhile till you hear Strong Head chuckle arrogantly before he says while punching the mecha fist of one arm into the palm of the other arm,
Kersey's Comment
"Alright you overstuffed maggot, you know where that bucking Hooded Offender is, and I'm gonna get it, especially if I have to beat it out of ya!"
Kersey snorts at Strong Head's threat before he says,
"First off, even if I knew where the Offender was I wouldn't tell some low life guard his location. Second off...BUCK YOU!!!"
With that said Kersey grabs Strong Head's mecha and violently throws it into an apartment building. Strong Head lifts himself up from the debris and arrogantly declares,
"That the best you can d-"
"Oh, now you said it," Kersey interrupts as various fuses light up around Strong Head.
"What the buc-" *KA-BOOM* Strong Head manages to say before being propelled through the air by the apartment exploding as Kersey exposits,
"You see, I booby-trapped THAT apartment to explode whenever somepony says any of those annoying cliches like "You won't get away with this." or "You Just Don't Get It, Do You?" or-"
"Hey tubby!" you snark-yell, "You just missed out on an awesome explosion during your exposition dump!"
"...DO'H!!" he yells with a massive facehoof.
"Alright you overgrown maggot! Since you obviously love food so much, CHOKE ON MY ROCKETS!"
On that command, the mecha's chest opens up revealing several tubes of rockets all getting ready to fire... only to pathetically sputter out and lamely fall to the ground a few inches in front of Strong Head's mech.
"Bah!" Strong Head grunts in annoyance, "I knew they should've put more work into the rock-" *KA-BOOM*
Suddenly the rockets explode and knock Strong Head's mecha back into a mirror store causing Kersey to chuckle.
"See? This is why you ALWAYS have to test the prototypes first. Now you have at least 7 years bad- *wham* OW!!!"
"You should be the one keeping your head in the game ya overgrown film addict!" Changer declares as he conjures a rock fist from his book to smash into Kersey's face.
"Ugh! You wasted a perfect opportunity to make some sort of rock pun! This is why you fail!" he roars at the sorcerer.
Seeing that Strong Head is probably down for the count you turn towards Aqua and say,
"Come on! That's one less annoyance down! Let's take care of the other two before Strong Head regains his senses!"
Aqua nods at your suggestion and you're both about to charge at Kersey when suddenly half of the mirror store is thrown at Kersey and Changer! The store hits it's target as it hits Charger and then slams into Kersey, sending both ponies to the ground. You look over to whats left of the mirror store and see Strong Head with a smug chuckle as he says,
"Note to self, thank those scientist for adding on a shield function."
"Oh What the Buck is this Haylo Shield Armor Bullspit?!" you roar as the Mech launches forward toward Kersey and Changer.
"GRAGH! Now the jerk with the badge is still active because of that stupid machine!" you rant as your eye twitches. Turning your wrath to the sky you yell,
The Rutherford's Comment
"BUCK YOU MACHINES!!! I knew that machines were Evil! Evil, evil, evil!" Nightshade sticks her head out of the inventory with a raised eyebrow.
"Daddy! Mangle isn't evil! You're even still wearing her," she says as she points to the transformed robot around your waist.
Sighing, you take a breath and add, "With the exception of Mangle, EEEEEVVVVVIIIILLLLL! ...Better?"
"Yep!" she declares as she goes back into her room.
As you have your "Machines are Evil" breakdown, Strong Head decides to attack Kersey by ripping a pillar off of a building. This causes the building to collapse as you hear ponies scream in terror from inside and the sign "Town Hall" falls beside him.
"What are you doing Sargent? That was an official Government building! There's innocent ponies in there!" Aqua shouts.
"Why should I care?" He yells as he dives forth with his Pillar, swinging it into Kersey's gut as Changer ducks. "If these idiots had a shred of intelligence, they would have already left!" he yells, before a blast of magic from Changer launches him backward.
Outraged by his careless attitude, you use the RCV and yell,
"You're a bucking Royal Guard! You are supposed to help the ponies, not hurt innocents!"
He turns his helmeted head to you and growls, "Don't tell me how to do my job you worthless piece of filth! I answer to Prince Blueblood himself, and I will stop any Hooded Offender or Crimson Knight threat by any means necessary! If anypony gets in the way, it is not my fault!" he yells as he blasts off, striking Changer in the back and sending him through a wall. Kersey laughs, before Strong Head uppercuts him.
While this conversation was going on, a few brave/stupid news reporters heard and recorded ,via magic crystals audio devices, everything going on.
"Buck this! Aqua we have to get those ponies out of there and get them to safety!"
"What about Kersey and the Book Guy? I don't want to lose that bounty to that guard!" she points out.
"Buck that bounty! If we don't do something, they're all going to kill innocent ponies, if they haven't already done so. Move!"
In a combined effort of you, Aqua, Nightshade (who is scared for the ponies trapped inside, so her earth bending is at an optimal level), and even Mangle get the ponies out of the collapsed building. Aqua and several bystanders start bringing the ponies to a safe spot where first responders are to care for the wounded. Luckily nopony was killed.
As you stop to take a breather, you watch the threeway fight. All three trying to kill the others.
"Bucking Morons..." you pant as you and Aqua rush back closer.
How can I stop Kersey, Spartan/Changer, and Strong Head in his mech-suit? There has to be a way. Come one brain think of something...*ding* I know!
With a idea in mind you shout out to Strong Head and say,
Kichi's Comment
"Ok, Mr guard, what came first, the Scoota- *cough* chicken or the egg? How many ponies live in Manehattan minus the habitants in Ponyville, multiplied by the habitants of Canterlot? Who is Celestia, the white alicorn, the pink alicorn, or the black alicorn?"
"What?! The heck are you asking- *CRINK*" he is struck by a rock fist from Changer.
"Grah! Quit distracting or I'll bring you in too!" he yells as he blasts at Changer who dodges.
"Crud! So he's more stallion than machine still! Logic puzzles are useless!"
"If we want him out of the way, we'd need to get rid of the machine parts," Aqua surmises.
"Right! And machines hate water!"
"Okay, but I'd rather do it discreetly..."
"No worries!" you yell sticking your head into your bag. "We need to make it rain, sweetie can you do it?"
"Of course daddy" Nightshade replies. She then takes out her ocarina and plays the Song of Storms. Clouds mysteriously appear above you all and it starts to slightly drizzle...but it does absolutely nothing. The three fighters don't even seem to notice it.
"Well THAT didn't work! Anyling else got any suggestions?"
Insight the masses into rioting against the Royal Guard. Down with the Solar Crown!
How about no you crazy drugged flankhole? Those guards pay my salary!
This one won't, heh heh heh... Sombra chuckles. As he does, you don't really have any other ideas, so you facehoof.
"Oh for the love of...Attention Citizens!" you call out to those who have gathered around.
"Is that the type of behavior we expect from a guard? NO! Guards are supposed to protect us from the criminals and monsters!" you yell pointing towards the chaos of the three combatants.
"He's not looking out for the ponies he's trying to protect!"
The crowd, many of them from Town Hall nod and gain angry glares.
"Yeah, Buck That Guy!" comes some random yell.
"I mean, we Bounty Hunters had to save your guys's life, and we don't get paid for that!"
"Yeah! You guys are more guard material than him!" someling yells out in agreement.
"If the guards are not doing their job, they are like criminals themselves!" you shout.
Ponies get pumped up and yell out,
"YEAH!!!"
"And also, he's in the way of me getting 20,000 Bits!" you rant.
"Yeah! Wait..." some in the audience double take, but it is interrupted by a yell of,
"Suck Brick Guy!" as Kersey uppercuts Strong Head with a piece of debris, which sends him flying, landing near your group.
"Oh you fat piece of,"
"GET HIM!!!" come the cries of all the ponies gathered as they swarm the suit.
"What are you-?! Stop it! This is obstruction of justice!" he yells out.
"You're just scum yourself! Down with Guards!"
"YEAH! Now let the REAL heroes clean up here! The Bounty Hunters are our true protectors!"
"BOUNTY HUNTERS! BOUNTY HUNTERS!" they begin to chant as they start rioting around his suit, and even though he was aloof about innocents getting hurt, it seems even he's hesitant about striking them directly.
As you watch the Ponies rebel against Strong Head, you can't help but nervously chuckle and think,
Okaaaaayyy...Didn't mean to put myself on a pedestal and cause a mini revolution, but at least he's occupied...
Quite so, now lets focus on the here and now. Like how those two Knights are currently battling to the death a few blocks over.
Your eyes widen at this fact as you see the two Knights are still fighting each other. Rushing towards them, you see Changer's back is facing you as he attacks Kersey and you get a brilliant idea. You take a deep breath before shouting towards Changer,
"FUS RO DAH!"
The shout hits it's target and sends Charger right into Kersey's eye. Kersey shouts in pain before ripping your improvised missile off his eye and looking at you enraged as he shouts,
"WHAT IS WITH YOU AND THE BUCKING EYE?!" he shouts.
While his attention is on you, Changer shakes his head, and while still in Kersey's hoof says
The Pony Spartan's Comment
"I was saving this if I ever encountered the Princesses or the Offender...but desperate times..." He lights up his horn and something on his shoulders start to form. "Calls for desperate measures!" The form has the color of his magic... and it's a skeleton arm of some kind. Kersey looks down in shock as the arm rushes forth and strikes him in the nose, causing him to drop Changer. Soon skeleton hands form on the tips of the arms and hang in the air without moving.
You look at the skeleton arms and whistle impressed. "That sure is Nito."
"Ahh!" Kersey yells. "What the buck are those things?!" Instead of answering, Changer just looks up at him and smirks.
"It's been a while since I used this in a fight. Now that those two Hunters have distracted that hunk of junk, I'll try them out on you Kersey!" he yells out, and before Kersey can react, Changer runs up to him and with his agility, jumps up to his face and delivers a hard punch to his cheek.
"OOOF!" he cries as he is knocked backward, his head spinning.
While he's dazed Changer gets behind him. Using the skeleton arms, he grabs and pulls the giant's hind legs so he loses balance and falls on his face.
"Oh Spartan You piece of-!"
"MY NAME'S NOT SPARTAN!!!" he yells as he teleports in front of Kersey's face and starts angrily slamming him with the skeleton arm things. You even hear a crunch.
"HEY! Try not to kill him dumbflank!" you yell as you rush closer.
He doesn't comment on what you said and instead yells, "Take! *Punch!* This! *Punch!* You fat! *Punch!* Bucking! *Punch!* Traitor! *Punch!* That left me to die!"
Kersey spits some blood from his lip over Changer, who stops for a second due to grossness.
"The buck you mean left you to die? You died! The heck were we supposed to do besides leave?!" Kersey growls.
"You could have checked a little harder!" Changer yells.
"We did! Well I didn't because I didn't give a buck, but the others did. Bucking weaklings. This is why I'm superior to them in every wa-*Punch*"
Changer slams his head into the ground, causing Kersey's eyes to flutter dazed for a moment, but before he strikes again, you call out, "Would You Kindly Buck Off?!" using Bucking Bronco on him, which causes him to lift up fast, hitting his head on an overhanging piece of debris, making his own head spin.
"You two can kill each other all you want, but not before you go to jail!...Though I am digging the ghost arms, but still!" you yell.
You then get out some hoof cuffs and walk towards them as Kersey lifts his head to say something to you...only to get blasted in the face.
You look behind you and see Strong Head fly in and land in front of you, facing the Knights.
"OH COME ON!!!" you yell, looking back down a couple blocks and still seeing yelling angry ponies.
"Stupid Civvies! Note to self, charge all of them after disposing of these two freaks!" he growls and looks back at you and Aqua. "Now for the last time, STAY AWAY!!!" he yells before running forward and back kicking Kersey back into the street.
"Freaking stupid *Punch* AAAHHHH!!!" yell as you are struck by a Skeleton Hand through a wall.
"CV! Whoah!" Aqua cries as she dodges one of them.
"I'd have to agree with the Tin Idiot! Stay Away!" he yells out hitting you two again.
He wields a strong magic Bugze...
I noticed!
You dodge another punch of his, and Aqua is able to water lasso him and throw him out of the debris, towards Kersey and Strong Head.
Growling, he looks back from you to the giant and the mech, Strong Head is currently slamming Kersey's giant head against the remains of the Swish Bank, as you realize you're back where it all started.
"Quit hitting yourself, Quit Hitting Yourself!" Strong mocks as he slams his head all the way through the thick walls, causing Kersey to slump with his eyes spinning.
"Did someone get the number on that cart...?" he says in a stupor.
"In fact I did. It was your mother!" Strong Head mocks before raising his gauntlets and lighting them up.
"Now say goodnight Fatty, *SLAM*" Strong Head is struck by a skeleton hand into the bank.
"Alright..." Changer examines himself with a dazed Kersey in front of him. "I think I'm pretty warmed up." He then turns to you. "Don't you dare touch him while I'm taking on that stupid guard!" he yells as he jumps up at the emerging Mech, dodging it's attack.
Both of them fumble around in midair as you and Aqua look at this ridiculous scene and turn to each other.
"Sheesh, Book Guy sure is full of himself huh? Or Overconfident..."
You look at him as he slams the skeleton hands into the metal fists, both striking each other rapidly while the sorcerer dodges. "He... looks smart... I guess? But we'll see what happens. We are back in the deserted ground zero."
"Yeah, but that also brings our situation back to square one. This roboguard is just in the way!" Aqua huffs.
While you both focus on that, Kersey finally shakes the dizziness, and sees the mech and sorcerer battling. Gritting his teeth he reaches into the remains of the bank...
Kersey's Comment
And grabs the exposed vault in a massive hoof. He tears it out of the ground, and proceeds to smash Strong Head into the ground with a heavy overhead swing of the giant safe directly on top of the mecha.
"Goodnight Fatty!" he says.
Changer's eyes widen as he looks up at the giant and yells.
"WHY WON'T YOU STAY DOWN!!!"
"Why won't you shut your bucking face?!"
Charger grits his teeth and uses his agility to launch at Kersey...but Kersey quickly notices that smash has loosened the vault hinges so he quickly dumps the vault over the spellcaster causing him to be buried in an pile of Bits and jewels pinning him under the pile.
"You've Just Been Scrooged...SEE?! That's how you do a one liner!"
A blast from strong head strikes Kersey who throws the rest of the vault at him, while Changer's skeleton hands start pushing everything away, revealing red welts, bruises, and a few cuts from the massive money glomp. He gets back up only for Kersey grab one of his legs and throw him at the Mech.
As the remains of the bank get even more damaged and turned to rubble, you realize that they all seem to be slowing down. Even the suit has damage spots and sparks randomly.
You then come up with a great plan. Turning to Aqua you say,
BrownDog's Comment
Vesperion Seraph's Comment
“Okay, here’s what we can do. We can let them all tire each other out, and when they’re all weakened, we’ll beat them all down.
“All of them? But that guy in the suit is a guard,” Aqua says.
“Well yeah, but he is a jerk, he'd deserve it.”
“Dude, even if he is a jerk, if we fight him, we’ll be charged with assaulting a guard. No license is going to change that,” she says.
“But, he, I…” you mumble.
“Look, I agree the stupid flankhole has to be taken out of the way, but it can’t be us doing it, otherwise we’re going to jail too.”
“Ah Crud! I didn't even think of that!" you yell as you Falcon Punch a piece of Rubble in front of you...which flies causes bits of rubble to strike Kersey, allowing the Mech to strike him.
*DING*
"I got it! We’ll just have to “Accidentally” hurt him then,” you declare.
“How do we do that?”
“Like this, BOOK GUY!” you yell running up behind the blue pony who is panting.
He angrily turns around and says, “My name is Cha-“
“FALCON PUNCH!!!” you yell sucker punching the sorcery as he goes flying into the back of Strong Head.”
“Ugh!” he fumbles as he is knocked into one of Kersey’s punches.
“Oh, attacking me from behind huh?!” the guard angrily shouts as he catches himself in midair, staring at the dazed Changer on the ground. ”Two can play at that game!” he declares as Strong Head dive bombs at Changer who throws up some of skeleton arms to punch back.
You then charge up your Shadow Whip with some dark magic fire, and you strike it out against the back of Kersey's head.
"OW! That Bucking Burns!" he yells out as he pitches forward.
"Wait, was that Dark Magic?! That's ille-AAAHHH!" Strong Head starts before yelling as Kersey fumbles forward causing his belly fat to land on both Changer and Strong Head.
"AH SICK!!!" Strong yells.
"I never wanted to see this part of you up close!" Changer screams.
As both Changer and Strong Head punch and lift Kersey up and off them, you look to Aqua and say.
“Like that, make those morons “accidentally” hit him with our attacks."
“I think I could do that,” Aqua says as she Water Whips Changer from the side, causing him to stumble into Strong Head, and with both of their attacks faltering, Kersey lands back on them.
“Oh Come On!” shouts Changer.
“Get this fat tub of lard off me!” Strong Head yells.
“Quit…*Pant* Calling *Pant* Me *Pant* FAT!!!” Kersey yells under his belly.
You and Aqua then go between two light poles behind Kersey who's flanks are hanging outside, and you wrap your shadow whip around them.
“Aqua! Grab that Newspaper Vendor,” you command.
She puts the hunk of metal in the middle of your whip and begins to pull back with her own.
Carefully aiming you yell,
“Release!!!” she does so and the Vendor goes sailing…right into Kersey’s nards.
“EEEEEEE!!!” he cries as he starts rolling in pain, grinding the other two underneath him further into the ground. You hear their muffled yells.
“ENOUGH OF THIS!!!” you hear below Kersey. Suddenly you both hear a rumbling as 20 feet from his squirming form, Strong Head pops out of the ground, covered in dirt.
“You Lardo! The only pony I want grinding on me is Countess Coloratura!!!” he yells as a light charges on the front of his metal claws.
Suddenly, a beam of energy shoots out, striking Kersey in the side, and blasts him skidding down the street in pain with smoke coming off of him.
You sniff the air.
“Anyone else smell haybacon?”
From the hole Charger comes out looking peeved as he sees Strong Head laying into Kersey who struggles to get up.
“Stop IT!” he yells as he sends out a blast of earth magic at the suit, it knocks him out of the sky, but he does a superhero landing and stares at Changer.
Changer, taking the opportunity, then jumps on Kersey and with his bone arms, begins scratching at Kersey’s chest.
“Ow! Ow!” Kersey yells as blood is drawn. “NOT THE PEPPERONIS!” he yells as he sucks in air, and blows at Changer who digs his claws in and holds on as his legs flail. He almost doesn’t hang on though as he begins gagging.
“Does your diet consist entirely on garlic?!!!”
“It grows on trees! It’s not like it’s gonna kill me!” Kersey yells.
“No, that’s what I’ll be doing!” Changer yells. One of his boney claws reaches up for a slam, but suddenly it is grabbed by Strong Head, whose gauntlets begin to glow, causing it to shrink.
“Wh-what?! You can’t…”
“I've seen the Tails before, these bones are nothing! And If anypony’s gonna be killing anypony, it’s gonna be me!” Strong Head quips before he picks Changer up by his hind leg and begins beating Kersey in the face with him like a weapon.
“Would you kindly giddyup!” you yell a little ways down the road, causing the Bucking Bronco to lift Kersey’s big head up fast, which strikes into both the sorcerer and the metal knight, giving all three a nasty hit.
This hit causes Strong Head’s rocket boosters to start sputtering out.
“Aw crud, come on, come on!” he says as he tries to stay aloft with one boot, allowing Kersey to get ahold of him.
“Gotcha! Now it’s your turn! Get over here Spartan!” Kersey yells as he keeps whacking at Changer who puts up a shield.
Strong Head gets out by burning the last of his fuel in his rocket boot to burn Kersey’s hoof, causing him to drop right onto Changer.
"OW! Enough with the fire already!"
Struggling for dominance, the mech and sorcerer's blasts launch them into Kersey’s gut and all three go stumbling backward, knocking a fire hydrant out.
“Aqua! Water Fist!” you yell.
“Huh?” she asks.
You facehoof. “Make a giant fist with that water and punch all three of them while they’re in Kersey’s gut.
“OH, Right,” she says as she manipulates the water, making a clawed fist, before sending it crashing into Kersey, Changer, and “accidentally” Strong Head.
This causes them to go skidding down the street once more, going through the empty movie theatre.
After the strike, they all begin coughing up water, even Strong Head has to open his helmet for a second to drain the water.
“Ugh! Seals aren’t perfect, add that to the list Tech Boys,” he growls before pointing one of his gauntlets at the sputtering Kersey and Changer, only for it to spark.
“Oh come on!” he declares as he looks at the malfunctioning gauntlet. “Ugh, it’s like this whole thing wasn’t even ready yet…oh wait,” he realizes.
Strong then looks over and sees the still panting Kersey as Changer gets off of him with sinister look in his eye.
The Pony Spartan's Comment
Brown Dog's Comment
Changer uses his magic hands to crack his neck.
"And what do you think you're doing?" Strong Head asks.
"About to take the little colt from his toy and make him cry." Changer says as he really let loose with his power. Strong Head growls and lights up his one of the only weapons still working on the prototype.
"Eat Anti-Magic Freak! Your dragon sure loved it!" he yells blasting at the pony, but he keeps dodging the blasts.
"Stop moving!"
After Changer dodges another one he notices that the a panel on the suit torso jitters and sparks a bit from damage.
"There!" He yells, and pulls out his red and blue books, making a large flame and ice sword which his magic arms now hold. He jumps up to the suit and stabs at the center.
"No!" Strong Head roars as he blasts the antimagic weapon, partially destroying the sword, but not before it breaks off bits of the torso, and damages the weapon. "ARG!" He picks up Changer and holds him up to his face. "Don't you DARE! I won't allow you to break this suit! It's what will finally put an end to that monstrosity!" he yells and head butts the sorcerer. Though dazed, this gives him a chance to latch onto the helmet and try to pry it off with his helmet, partially succeeding.
"Hiding behind a suit of armor, how pathetic for a guard!" Changer growls.
"How pathetic for you for not wearing armor!" he yells, jumping forward into Kersey's gut, winding him again.
In such close courters, the two of them keep slugging it out in front of a dazed and slumped Kersey.
Both firing their arsenal and beating each other relentlessly, they collapse the building on themselves.
After the collapse, you and Aqua run forth to the scene.
"Well...they're wanted dead or alive right?" Aqua says as you both look over the rubble.
"I guess...wait, look," you point out a bunch of rubble shifting.
From it, you see the Book guy emerge, with cuts all over his body, and limping with what looks like a broken leg as he pants and looks around. He sees you two.
“Alright, that takes care of that... now it’s time for you two to…” *WHACK* he starts before an iron gauntlet comes unexpectedly from the side, hitting him in the head and knocking him out cold. You see more rubble shift around the fist, and you see the dented and damaged suit.
"Puny Knight," he declares before picking up the limp Changer, slamming him into the ground a few times, hearing more snaps and cracks as he hits the ground.
"Oh Jeez!" you declare at the brutality.
Strong Head then spins his arm holding Changer's leg around and around. An elbow rocket helps pick up the speed as the spinning pony becomes a blur and launches Changer's limp form high off into the air till he's nothing but a spark in the sky.
Both you and Aqua get shocked faces at what just happened, as you examine the Guard more as his arm stops spinning.
The suit itself appears to be sparking and twitching as lights turn on and off, and you even see pieces of Strong Head exposed. He appears to be panting as he looks around.
“I…I did it! I won! WOOOO!” he declares as you and Aqua groan that you won’t be able to get your bounties now. One of them's buried, and the other one's probably dead and out of the city. While you self pity, Strong Head continues to jeer.
“Oh just you wait Offender, the next on the list is you! Nothing is gonna stop me no-“ when all of a sudden a massive hoof reaches out of the rubble and grabs him.
Kersey looks beaten and bruised and is covered in dust, but he slams Strong Head over and over again against the ground.
“Worst, Cliché, EVER! You never celebrate until you know your enemy is defeated!”
With that said he throws Strong Head down the street, causing him to smash on and off the concrete for a good while till he eventually slides to a stop. He's missing more pieces then before but the mecha is still in use. He slowly stands up and, with a grunt of pain, begins to move the mecha slowly towards Kersey, however as he does...
The Mechanic's Comment
The helmet falls off from all the abuse, sparking.
"Don't...need it..." he mumbles as he continues walking, before the chest piece starts blinking red.
"OH! HOT HOT HOT!!! he yells as he detaches the upper chest piece and throws it to the side.
"It's alright, I still got my legs covered, I'll just..." only for the walking legs to start shorting out, making him unable to move.
"Oh for...Grugh!" he detaches the legs and slumps forward, having to lift his his gauntlets and walk like a normal pony...until those too fall off with no anchor points. All he has left on him, is one metal fist attached to his hoof.
He looks to the sparking fist and then up to the Giant Pony who just raises an eyebrow and says,
As Strong Head looks up at the hulking form of Kersey he starts to chuckle nervously as he says,
"Hehehehehe....you wouldn't mind letting me go if I didn't arrest you right?"
Kersey puts on a thinking face before saying,
"Hmmmm....nah!"
Kersey then kicks Strong Head and sends him straight backwards into a wall, scattering all his pieces of suit pieces to the wind, and knocking him out cold. Kersey then chuckles. "Alright, so robo reject is down, and Spartan looked dead again sooo..." he trails off and sets his sights onto you and Aqua as he says,
"And then there were two pests. Prepare TO BE NOTHING BUT STAINS ON THE GROUND!"
With that Kersey...
Lord Sergal's Comment
attempts a horizontal swipe to take you and Aqua out at once, but you dodge upwards at the last possible second and land on his hoof.
Wait... Wasn't his hoof moving past me? How did I land on it?
You look around to see that everything is moving in slow motion. And purple, for some reason.
Huh, it appears you have entered 'glitch time': a state of being where the universe can't decide whether you were hit or not, so it lags a bit.
Your video game instincts kick in at this explanation and you run up the giants arm and falcon kick him in one of his cracked teeth. It doesn't shatter or anything, but you know how much that hurts.
"Ow, you little buck!" Kersey shouts as time returns to normal, swinging his whole face to headbutt you away and sending you smashing into a carriage.
Kersey stares down at you menacingly as he prepares to perform another belly flop,
"Well this has been a distraction, but I got a triple-feature that starts in 30 minutes so I'm gonna wipe you and your friend off the face of Equestria with MY ALMIGHTY GUT!"
Your and Aqua's eyes widen at that and you decide to act fast as you declare,
Kersey's Comment
"Would you kindly BUZZ OFF!" causing a swarm of bees to come out of the Power Glove and start stinging Kersey in the eye.
"OH, NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, THEY'RE IN MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAGGHHH!"Kersey screams as he lumbers around in pain.
"All right, time to Mix-It-Up one more time!" you declare causing the 2 dials to reappear on the Power Glove, "Aqua, Fastball special!"
"What?" Aqua says confused.
"You know, that awesome team throw that Colossi does with Honey Badger!"
"Still lost," she says.
"Oh for- Whip me around you as fast as you can then throw me at him!" you say in exasperation as you set the dials to "Electro Bolt" and "Winter Blast".
Aqua is still confused by this, but complies anyway as she conjures a long water whip, grabs you, and starts spinning as fast as she can.
"Finishing move!" you say as Aqua starts reaching the top speed of her spinning,
"Would you kindly-"
Aqua then releases the water whip sending you zooming through the air at top speed,
"Eat my!"
You pull your Power Gloved hoof back.
"MODIFIED FALCON MISSILE!!!"
Your hoof rapidly becomes encoated in an electrified layer of super-dense ice that shatters as your hoof smashes into Kersey's gut as the shattered ice releases a massive electrical shock that electrocutes Kersey causing his magical buildup to backfire, sending him falling into his apartment building.
As you land, you stare at Kersey as it looks like he's trying to get up.
You both prepare for another battle...until...
"BLLLLAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!"
The force of the impact to his gut finally forces Kersey to vomit all over Strong Head's unconcious body and mecha pieces as the fat excuse of a pony begins to shrink. The continuous stream of puke forces the potion out of his system, along with what surely used to be hayburgers, pasta, eggs, garlic, mushrooms, chips, and cheesecake, until he is back to his original tubby size (and that's not saying much).
Hiding your disgust and vowing to clean your clothes thoroughly when you're done you walk over to the downed Kersey and lift him up while saying,
"Alright fatty, it's been fun, but you've been beat."
"Ggggllluuuggghhhh..." he moans as his eyes roll around.
"I'll just take that as confirmation. Now, talk. Where's the rest of your group?"
"Iiii...don't care..." he says as he head still swims.
"The buck you don't care, you took out all the fund for yourself, and keep bad mouthing them. You care alright, enough to hate them anyway. Now tell me! There's five names left! Brown Dog, Erised, Grey Rebl, MindsEye, and Snap Drake, where are they?!"
He just continues blubbering, on the verge of passing out. You hear Guards barking orders, slowly getting closer as they finally arrive.
"Hurry it up CV," Aqua says.
"I'm trying!" you yelp as you smack the fat flank in the face, focusing him a bit.
"Tell me! You hate them, so you've nothing to hide!"
His drooping eyes focus on you and he smirks. He pulls out an envelope and hands it to you.
"Hope you all die fighting each other and rot in tartarus you...feeble...mouth breathers..." he trails off before passing out.
You look at the envelope and quickly hide it in your inventory before the Guards see it. You then pull out the Changeling Messenger and drop her next to Kersey.
"Hey! You two! Don't move!" comes the voice of a guard. You look to Aqua and say,
BrownDog's Comment
“Whelp, we better lie, cheat, and steal before it’s too late," before both of you put your hooves up as some guards walk over.
Outside the City
Two Travelling Wagons are perched along a hill overlooking the city...and it does not look pretty. Quite a few destroyed buildings, smoke plumes scattered everywhere, and lots of Guards and Civilians wandering about.
Along with all the shocked Hippie Ponies, A Diamond Dog and Pony in cloaks watch with mouths open.
"Holy crap. I don't think we'll be getting a Kersey check anytime soon, the Heat's too high down there," says Snap Drake.
"You can say that again, I mean, what the heck happened down there? Kaiju attack?" comments Brown Dog.
"Unlikely bro, we're nowhere near Neighpon..." says one of the Hippie ponies.
"Oh yeah...still, do you think we can still hitch a ride with you guys? That town seems a bit too hectic right now," asks Brown Dog.
"Yeah, no problem dude. We love having you two guys here. Besides, we'll move on anyway. City Mayhem is bad for business," says a mare in bell-bottom jeans.
"Yeah...plus the Guards might not like the other stuff you guys are holding," Snap Drake points back towards the brownies.
"That too," nods the mare.
Loading up, the two Knights hop in one of the wagons as the head away from the city.
"Just great, and here I was hoping for some cold hard cash. You think these guys will make a circuit to where Erised and Grey are holed up?" Brown Dog asks.
"Who knows, we're going all over. Besides, why would we go to them? They're kind of buzzkills," Snap points out.
"True, but I don't know man, it's like we haven't seen a Knight buddy in such a long time. It's not like they're going to come to us."
*SLAM*
Suddenly, something crashes through the tarp roof of the cart and lands into the stack of extra bean bag chairs, causing the wagon to shake about for a bit.
"WHOAH DUDE...The world's trying to throw our groove off..." says one of the hippies pulling the cart, but he keeps moving, not even stopping.
Snap Drake and Brown Dog look over to the bean bag chairs and gasp in surprise.
"Spartan?!" they both declare.
The unconscious and injured Changer doesn't answer them because, he's unconscious obviously. They then look to each other.
"I thought he was dead!"
"So did I!"
"Is he now?"
"I don't know!"
They then both poke him, causing him to moan in his sleep.
"Holy Balls!"
"It is him!"
"He's come back to us!"
"This is the BEST, POSSIBLE, THING!!!"
They freak out a bit over having their supposed dead buddy back before they then look over his injuries.
"Yo Flax Seed, we need the med kit!"
"Right on man..." the hippie replies.
Back in the City: A Few Hours Later
After initial questioning, and showing your licenses, you were able to tell the local guards about what happened.
You gave a list of all the items bought with Kersey's money, and you gave the cops the proof of his Crimson Knight status. Upon seeing the messenger, the Guards were even more inclined to believe you.
"Freaking Changelings. These Knight nutjobs are just asking for trouble employing them," the chief guard mutters.
"I know...they're everywhere it seems like... *cough*"
The chief nods before saying, "Well your story appears to check out. We have several eyewitnesses to the battle. You saved many lives today you two. I'm just glad ponies of your integrity were on the scene. Especially when this flankhole was involved," he points over his shoulder at the injured Strong Head, who is in shackles and being put into a Paddy Wagon.
"NO! You don't understand! I have authority! I HAVE AUTHORITY!!! Ask for Blueblood! He'll back me up!"
"The only authority you'll be talking to is Shining Armor himself once word gets to him," growls another guard, causing Strong Head to pale.
He then looks over at you and Aqua.
"Well bring them in too! I saw that masked red guy using dark magic, I swear he- *Klonk* " he is cut off as ponies in the crowd throw garbage at him.
"Get out of here Mr. No Time for Innocents!" someling in the crowd yells.
"You're making a mistake!" he replies before he is shoved in and the door closed.
The chief shakes his head in shame before he says,
"Poor excuse for a guard. Certainly shouldn't have this type of weaponry."
The other CSI groups are loading up the pieces of the suit, although as scattered as it is, it'll probably take them forever to find it all.
"Yeah, well Aqua and I did what we could sir, just make sure that idiot gets what's coming to him," you say.
"Right you are son. And what about the reports of the third combatant?"
"Well, he was unconscious and got thrown up in the air and didn't come down, so your guess is as good as mine."
"Hopefully he's alive. I mean, the guy's a jerk, but I hope he ain't dead...he's worth more alive..." Aqua adds.
He nods at this.
Afterwards, you and Aqua are given a slip for 20,000 Bits for Kersey and his Messenger, and for saving the civilians. Your reputation as the Crimson Vengeance has spread to this town, and the guards and civilians give you and Aqua a standing ovation as you walk through the streets.
While you do you whisper to Aqua, "We've got to go, now! Shining's coming, and along with him the Princesses."
Aqua nods, and avoiding the train station, you both walk out of Vanhoover. You'll cash your checks somewhere else later.
"Well, I guess it's a good thing the guards are starting to respect us, otherwise we might have had to stay and talk with the Royalty," Aqua says.
"Yeah...it's weird. One part of me is wanted and hated by them, and yet as CV, I'm chummy with them."
"That's what you get for having so many identities," Aqua points out.
"Hey Daddy, can I have Mangle back now? You're still wearing her," Nightshade says popping out of the Inventory.
You look down, and see she's right.
"You heard her, get off me."
The Fox transforms back into her normal plush form and as she jumps into Nightshade's arms you say,
"And Mangle...Thanks."
The robot chirps happily at you and she and Nightshade go back into their room.
Chuckling, Aqua asks you, "So, do we know who our next target is?"
You remember the envelope and pull it out, reading it's contents before smirking.
"Yes we do..."
You continue walking not finishing the sentence.
"And?" she asks.
"Huh?"
"You just said yes we do, and you didn't elaborate."
"I did?"
"Um yeah," she answers exasperated.
Yes, you've started doing that often after a mission. It seems you finish the sentence much later when we've started the next one.
"Oh...Right. Well, our next target is..."
"Why are you pausing? You're doing it agai-"
2 WEEKS LATER
POV CHANGE: SHINING ARMOR
You are Prince Captain Shining Armor. Husband of Princess Cadance, Co-Ruler of The Crystal Empire, and Head of the Royal Equestrian Army. You've had a rough 3 years starting from when that succubus nearly ruined your wedding. Ever since then, you've had to deal with one crisis after another, and almost all of them have that infernal changeling The Hooded Offender at the center of it, or Bugze as your wife continues to refer to him as.
Whether directly, or through proximity, this bug has given you problems. Case in point, Today's headache. Two Weeks ago, Sargent Strong Head, the hot headed candidate of Blueblood, your forced partner in this program, took an early prototype with untested weapons (even though the project is still a year out) into the city of Vanhoover over an unfounded rumor of The Offender. After a cataclysmic battle, a Crimson Knight leader and a changeling were detained, but details after that are sketchy. There were reports of a giant, a sorcerer, and a fearsome looking Bounty Hunter that fits the description of an individual your second in command Flash Sentry ran into. Whatever the case, severe property damage was inflicted, and pieces of the advanced suit were destroyed, and some were never recovered. On top of that, apparently Strong Head's own callous attitude led to much damage, and risk of civilian life.
You sigh at this,
I can't believe bounty hunters are being looked up to over the nation's own guard...all because of you...
Shaking your head you open your eyes and see the Unicorn Strong Head sitting in a chair below you. Beside him sits Prince Blueblood, just as arrogant as ever. Sitting beside you is Flash Sentry your own candidate for the Exo Program, and to your left is Princess Celestia herself, giving her own disapproving look to the two seated below. You are all in a low lit room somewhere Classified.
Not wanting to delay the inevitable in a long line of headaches you say,
"The Disciplinary Hearing of Sargent Strong Head will now commence."
You then look him straight the eye, and he can't quite meet your glare.
"Now then, do you care to tell me what the Tartarus happened in Vanhoover?!"
WHAT DO YOU DO?

Every Hiatus between Gravity Falls episodes. It took like 4 years for 2 seasons to be released. I love the show, but dang did they make you wait.
The on-going hiatus for Attack on Titan. They keep on pushing back the release date. *2015* "Its coming out in 2016" *2016* "Its coming out in 2017" Just put it out already.
A prosecutor points out the damage done to the suit will push back the project even farther, to two years or more. A note is made regarding how incomplete the weapon systems were (which explains why some of them failed, the missiles in particular).
A newspaper is also brought in during the trial, which details public opinion turning away from the Royal Guard and toward vigilantes, including bounty hunters. You facehoof, which hurts due to the nail-on horseshoes you're wearing.
As for hiatus, this show and hiatuses on stories that are on this website are the worst I can immediately think of, regarding media.
The dreaded Hiatus, my least favorite hiatus is the wait between Sherlock seasons. How long have fans been waiting? I think it has been around 2 years.
Shining Armor: "The Disciplinary Hearing of Sargent Strong Head will now commence. Now then, do you care to tell me what the Tartarus happened in Vanhoover?!"
Strong Head: "Well, Prince Blueblood told me that the Hooded Offender attacked him and ordered me to bring him to justice."
Blueblood: "It's true! He attacked me for no reason! And then he had to audacity to take Saph-"
Celestia cuts him off with glare that turns both him and Strong Head's blood to ice.
Celestia: "Blueblood! You will be silent unless spoken to by either myself or Captain Armor. Is that clear?"
Blueblood: "Y-yes Auntie."
Celestia: "Good. Proceed Sergent."
Strong Head (SH): "Yes Your Highness. While Prince Blueblood was telling me to find the Offender and bring him to justice, a giant fat pony appeared and started wrecking the place. the Prince dispatched me to stop him. When I put on the suit, I started flying over to the giant pony when a red dragon formed by some powerful magic. So I used the special anti-magic cannon to remove it. It was then that I saw two pathetic bounty hunters complaining about how the two Crimson Knights were their bounty. I told them to scram and not impede justice."
Armor: "OK. Stop there Sergent. I know how that fight ended from where you got there."
SH: "How?"
Armor: "There were many reporters there. With recording crystals and writing everything said and done there. I saw everything you and the others did. Do you realize how many problems you have caused the Royal Guard as a whole? Vanhoover is now in a state of unrest, the locals, including the local law enforcement do not trust us. The only reason the police even let me look at the evidence was because they had Princess Celestia personally promise that we would handle the ponies responsible!"
Shining takes a few moments to calm himself down.
Armor: "Do you realize the charges you face? Between you and Prince Blueblood, who will be facing his own hearing by both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, you stole a Top Secret battle-suit prototype that was not ready for field testing, resulting in not only a few million bits worth of damage to it, but you made it known to the public and, therefore, the world at large, with more than quite a few of its capabilities now known. There is also the problem of you willingly endangering the public by collapsing the Town Hall with ponies inside, insulting them when one of those Bounty Hunters called you out on it. Which brings us to another problem. As I said before, the citizens of Vanhoover no longer trust the Royal Guard. I saw several mercenaries now working along side the police force, being paid by the police because they feel that having more Guards there will result in civilians getting hurt or extorted."
Armor: "What's more is that due to the way you talked about the civilians and the two Crimson Knights. You insulted bystanders who were hiding in the town hall, which was built as a shelter for attacks, which you demolished, you said you would kill the Knights, one of which the recording crystals showed broken and beat, who you likely beat within an inch of his life, if you did not kill him all together, and sent him flying off to Tartarus knows where. Do you remember the protestors calling for changelings to have a public trial? Now there are protestors calling for knowledge of where we are keeping the Crimson Knights. The papers already say that the Crimson Vengeance, the Bounty Hunter you were threatening, was responsible for the capture of the changeling, the timber-wolf, and the wyvern members of the Crimson Knights. He now has the credit for defeating the large member, after he made him revert to his normal size after he defeated you."
SH: "But that bounty hunter was using dark magic! The suit identified the fire he was using as such!"
Armor: "We have a few problems with that claim. First off, you are the only one pointing blame at the bounty hunter for using dark magic. Nopony else claims to have seen him do anything like that, even when asked if they say him using fire, they reported he never did. Secondly, even if he did, the recorder that shows everything you saw or heard was knocked off line after you demolished the Town Hall, right after the bounty hunter called you out. So anything after you supposedly saw or heard was not verified. Thirdly, the Dark Magic sensor had not been tested yet. And when the scientists got it back, they discovered it was saying levitation was dark magic, so it is not a reliable sensor. And lastly, if anypony was using dark magic, it would have likely been the work of the Knight with the books that you brutalized. We heard about how he suddenly sprouted shadowy skeleton claws.
More official hearing stuff I cannot think of right now (Please add more to it)
Shining Armor: "The Princess and I shall discuss your sentence now. We will be back soon. Don't leave Sergent. That's and order."
Celestia looks to two of the four guards outside the hearing chambers.
Celestia: " Guards, please escort Prince Blueblood to his chambers. He is not to leave until my sister and I call for him."
Random Guard 1: "Yes your Highness."
Two guards escort Blueblood away as you, Flash Sentry, and Princess Celestia walk into a chamber where Princess Luna and Princess Cadence heard everything but was not seen.
Luna: "Sister, what do you think of this predicament? The Sergent was in the wrong, but what if his words have some merit? He seemed certain that this bounty hunter was wielding dark magic."
Celestia: "I know what you mean. Shining Armor, what do you think?"
Armor: *sigh* "I honestly do not believe much he has to say. As I told him in the hearing, I have received no reports to back up his claim from anypony who would talk with me. Flash, you fought along side this bounty hunter and his partner in Applewood correct?"
Flash: "Yes Sir, although I seriously doubt that CV would be using Dark Magic. It sounds more like it was the work of the Crimson Knight Sorcerer if anything."
Cadence: "CV?"
Flash: He said it stood for Crimson Vengeance Princess. I think he may have gotten the location of Kersey from the two Knight we fought together though."
Armor: "What makes you say that?"
Flash: "He stayed with them alone for a bit before we turned them over. When we came back in, he had a pep to his step and the two Knights said they can't wait to see their old "Friend" again. I think they likely told CV his location to possibly reduce their sentence."
Luna: "So this bounty hunter is in it for the bits then? Just looking for the next big bounty, and getting the next location from his targets?"
Flash: "I don't think so your Highness. I know that he is going after them for personal reasons."
Armor: "How do you know that?"
Flash: "Crap, I forgot to tell you after the Applewood event. CV said that he is doing this to help his brother and niece, the Knights are targeting them."
At this point, Cadence remembers the letter she got from Bugze, letting her know that two more Crimson Knights were taken care of and he was going after another.
Cadence: "Flash, who is CV's brother and niece?"
Flash: "Baker Sylvester Tennant (BST) and his daughter Nightshade."
Luna: "The Ponyville residents who died in the Everfree Fire?"
Flash: "If CV is to be believed, they got out of there with the help of the Hooded Offender and were in hiding somewhere in Neighsia. Sorry I forgot to tell you."
Cadence: "Really? well then at least the name makes some sense."
Armor: "What do you mean Honey?"
Cadence: "He is trying to get vengeance on the Crimson Knights, who have targeted his family. So there is a big reason for him to stop them. So he can get his family home." I really need to write Bugze a letter soon.
Celestia: "Getting back to the point of the matter. Sergent Strong Head. He has racked quite a few crimes against him, and this not being the first set of charges he has had before. Captain Armor, What do you suggest?"
Armor: "Well, he was not the one responsible for taking the Exo-suit prototype, that falls onto Prince Blueblood, but he willingly used it without proper authorization, causing damage to both the suit and to the city, and revealing a suit built for war that the public was not supposed to know about until the time was right. Him using it revealed it to not only the ponies of Equestria, but to the world at large, there is no telling what kind of political headache will come about from this with the other nations. Then there is the danger he placed the local population in, hurting quite a few in the process of taking down the Crimson Knights. He has all but ruined the Royal Guard's image to the city's populace and to many others around Equestria. The other problem is that he brutally attacked the Crimson Knight sorcerer and likely killed him when he could have easily subdued him. All in all, I would have him stripped of his rank, busting down to E-1, and placing him in our prison for at least the next 10 years. And that would be letting him off very lightly your Highness. If you would want to increase his time there, then there would be no arguments from the Guard."
I leave the verdict up to you members of the Hive Mind.
"I told you, he used dark magic! He is Eviiiil!" Shout strong head
Meanwhile somewhere else
"At-chum" Sneezed Bugzee
"Are you okay Daddy?" Asked Nightshade
"Yeah, must be some dust in the air" Commented Bugzee
"I doubt it's the flu" Say the voice of Sombra inside his head
"Really? why?" Asked Bugzee surprised
"Fools never get the flu Laughed the mad king
"Can changelings get the flu? now that I think..." Asked Selena this time, Bugzee tried to answer but no sound come from his mouth
"I... You know? I'm not sure. I think my grandbuggy sometimes got a couple of holidays for having a fluu or a strange virus, but after a night with some mare, he seemed to heal like a miracle... I'm not sure why" Say Bugzee as he remembered the old times
Returning to the judgement
"Yeah... Yeah, you told us that five times already, do you have anything more?" Asked Shining looking to him
"uuuuhhh... he was using a strange weapon and was with a zebra... Only the zebra is a reason to put him in jail" Say Strong Head
"We have a stable relation with Zebrafica, we don't need war with the zebras, they have a strong ally with the lions, that are allies of the Griffons, we don't want them angry right now" Say Shining Armor negating with the head.
"But they are EEEVIIL!" Say Strong Head as he shivered a little.
At-chuum People looked around, surprised to hear someone sneeze but without seeing anyone
"We know that they like to do that strange Vodoo Mumbo Jambo... Not only that, there was a strange filly that make it rain" Commented Strong Head
"Well, D'uh, it's obvious, pegasus can do it, and I suposse a good unicorn could do it... Maybe she know a spell to do that" Say Shining Armor
"They are EEVIIL, I told you! I'm sure that was dark magic, there was no light from the horn, just a strange instrument and suddenly clouds appeared"
At-Chuuum the strange sneeze was heared again, but no one could see from where was coming
"Of course..." Say Shining as he did not really think too much.
"I still can't believe that Princess Celestia is not canceling the project" Comment a angry Shining Armor
Time Ago in the throne room
Celestia and Luna were checking some paperwork and factures, as Celestia check some information.
"Sigh, the prototype was destroyed... I knew it was not ready, but we need to catch the offender at any cost" Say Celestia smiling like if it was nothing
"Sister, listen to me, I'm telling you that this offender is not that bad, and we used a great quantity of money in the destroyed prototype, where are you going to get more money?" Ask Luna to her sister trying to see reason in her methods
"Oh, I suposse I could increase a little the taxes, I could call it the dark forces destroyer taxes or something like that" Say Celestia as she begin to prepare that
"I'm not sure if that is a good idea, after what happened in Vanhoover, the ponies are getting angry, they are asking why are we not doing anything about those attacks? They don't see us much outside of the castle when we should do something about those monsters" Say Luna worried trying to distract Celestia
"Don't worry my dear sister, we have my faithfull student to take care for that, even if those little problems happen around, I'm sure she can take care of everything. It's 'for the greater good' after all." Smiled Celestia as he remarked the last part as if it was the best reason
"I'm still not sure that it's the best action..." Groaned Luna
Return to Shining
"So... tell me again, how is that you were defeated, as a royal guard and wearing the prototype of a weapon designed to defeat the hooded offender" Comment Shining Armor
"I was not defeated! It was a tactical retreat! the fault is the prototype that it not worked as it was supossed to do" Shout angry Strong Head
"Of course... Why is that I don't believe it? With all that destruction, I'm thinking it was more your fault" Say Shining
"Bah, collateral damage, the most important was testing the prototype, what if a civilian is angry because a house almost kill him? Or a little colt almost lose a hoof from one of my weapons. They are acceptable collateral damage" Shout proudly Strong Head
Meanwhile the lawyer that was with Strong Head was drawing himself and Strong Hoof hanged together, as he could guess the result at this rate, even when he tried to help his client, but he told it was controlled
"Do you have anything to say?" Ask Shining Armor
"Yes, where is Prince Blue Blood! Why is this farce still going on? Why is that he didn't stop it?" Ask Strong Head
"This... Farce, as you say, is your judgement, and about Blue Blood, when we notified him, his lawyer that was lucky for him near, suggested that he negate everything, and he did, he say he didn't know anything about your plans, nor did he order anything and he was surprised about what you did" Muttered Shining Armor a little angry that he could not get him also.
-------
And yes.. I put a 'greater good' joke
About the worse hiatus in story... NO IDEA... Too many Hiatus, right now I'm angry about Hiatus from Japtem and Hiatus from "The Gamer"
7461887 Another Bash Celestia? Seriously....
7461592
After all the verbal lashing Strong Head receives, Blueblood raises his hoof, to which Celestia just glares at.
“Yes Blueblood? If you have something to say, you may now speak.”
“Th-thank you auntie. Look, I know things got bad back there, but the Sargent here was only following my orders.”
“That still doesn’t excuse him for his reckless behavior Blueblood,” you sneer.
“Y-y-yes…of course not. But really, he was facing two extraordinary foes. Surely the same damage would have been done had The Offender showed up.”
“That’s neither here, nor there. He DIDN’T show up. In fact, other than your claim during that Sapphire Shores publicity stunt, there’s no proof.”
“But it WAS him. I saw the eyes! My bodyguards were whipped unconscious and I was thrown through a floor just because that little brat was crying and wouldn’t get out of my way and…”
“What were you doing to the crying child?” you interrupt.
He pales at this.
“I mean, what crying child…I didn’t say anything about…”
“Can it Blueblood. If you were being a jerk to a child, I’d say anypony would try to beat you down. I know I would.”
“Alright, forget the child, the fact is, I Swear it was him! You all didn’t come to my requests, and I hadn’t heard anything from you Auntie! I made a decision! I wanted The Offender to be brought down!”
“Well your decision cost quite a pretty penny Blueblood,” you remark.
“Oh come now, the money recovered from the Knight’s fund was given back to the city enough to repair the damage tenfold.”
“That still doesn’t excuse…”
“And another thing, I know Sergeant Strong is brash and reckless, but that’s why I chose him. He’s willing to fight with all he’s got. Even as the suit broke and he was in his bare coat, he kept going. He is still my candidate, and I will continue to support him. I’ll contribute to helping the repair fund or whatever else, but I still want him in the program.”
You sigh and facehoof.
Heck of a time for Blueblood to give a rat's behind about anypony. Guess he likes those that are just as rash and big headed as himself.
“Alright Blueblood, let’s get one thing straight here. He’s still getting punished for his actions, but we will take into account your share of the fault in this matter. And another thing, after today, I don’t want any more flak for Lt. Sentry,” you say pointing to Flash.
Flash looks and flashes (pun intended) you a quick smile, before returning his glare to Strong Head and Blueblood.
“You fought tooth and hoof to try to get him disbarred due to his…outbursts, but after today, no more. Your candidate has done far worse.”
“I-I-But…”
“End your smear campaign Blueblood, and perhaps this might reflect a tad more favorably on your candidate’s judgement.”
Blueblood looks defeated at that, and gives a sad look to Strong Head who seems equally displeased.
Later after the hearing, you lament how much headway that Bounty Hunter is gaining.
“These Knights clam up and won’t reveal anything. They’ve taken credit for several events, but it appears the majority of them act separately from one another. How has that Bounty Hunter gotten them to rat out their peers, but not us?”
“Perhaps it’s like the opinion in Vanhoover. Perhaps these criminals respect Bounty Hunters over guards,” Flash adds.
You give out a sigh.
“Either way, we’re nowhere near to figuring out this problem, and two random ponies are solving a national crisis. Heck, they’re bringing them in so fast, we’ll probably eventually need better accommodations for our Knight friends.”
You sigh again.
“Don’t worry sir. There’s five names left on that list Cadance got. I’m sure we’ll find at least one of them," Flash adds.
“Ha, if we’re lucky. If only these names came with a description for crying out loud…”
Celestia, hearing the exploits of CV during the interrogation, sends Twilight (and thereby the Mane Six) to find him so that they can then knight him. Cadence, when she hears it, and how there was a mare with him, decides to find him and help them get married. Blueblood decides to complain about the Hooded Offender, until he finds a bald spot in his mane. Luna, after both hearing the interrogation and using the scissors on... Something...,gets Blueblood in her room, with the lights out, lit candles around, a soft yet prevalent melody playing, and bucks him in the balls repeatedly, and not in the fun way.
The Worst hiatus is the world's best meme... HALF LIFE 3
"The King is Dead, Long Live the Emperor", "I am Going to Save and/or Destroy Equestria", and pretty much everything else Bucking Nonsense has put on hiatus. Also, Doom. While I admit that the polish was worth it, the wait was soul-crushing. Seriously, I first heard rumors about it like four years ago.
Strong Head tries to claim that they can just interrogate Kersey, but Shining counters that due to the battle and side effects of the growth potion, Kersery is now in a coma and won't respond to anything.
The worst hiatus to me at least is Doctor Who. The span of the hiatus, if you don't include the disappointing tv special, was sixteen years! That's an entire generation without hot aliens, bad cgi and British humor.
Some close seconds for me are the doom games, Samurai Jack, Half life and portal 3, and Metalocolypse(The only reason the fifth season was cancelled was because Adult swim and the company producing the show couldn't reach an agreement, not from a lack of fanbase or support.
YAAY you included my thing
