Burn the Files
Freelancer Command
In a moderate sized office, a pair of Project Freelancer's finest analysts asked the important questions, ones that would decide the direction they would take.
"Wiz," called out a man in red armor with white stripes, "have you seen my chicken sacrificing alter?"
"You mean the barbecue you welded a bunch of car parts and a miniature guillotine to?" replied a man in blue armor with white stripes.
"That's the one, you seen it?"
"The security team's using it to celebrate a birthday."
"Darn, well I guess ol' granpappy Boomstick won't mind if someone else sacrifices a chicken in his name."
These 2 were, surprisingly, some of Project Freelancer's finest combat analysts, codenamed Wiz and Boomstick. Boomstick was originally brought on due to his doctorate in poultry science, specializing in the frying, for one of the more ridiculous simulations, what would happen if one of the teams of Sim troopers suddenly all turned into chickens? Spoilers, the other team has a barbecue party. He soon proved himself to also be a master of weapons analysis, specializing in shotguns. Wiz on the other hand had several more useful doctorates(robotics, theoretical physics, engineering, etc.) and was the first of the analysts to successfully model an accurate simulation of superpowers. Together, with their underappreciated and overworked intern Joselyn, they were an impressive team that specialized in 1v1 confrontations, or as they liked to call them, Death Battles. They also happened to be the analysts assigned to Blood Gulch.
Wiz went to one of the terminals to browse the requisitions made by both teams. "Hey Boomstick, any idea why both teams requested a load of training rounds?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the pony," replied Boomstick.
"What pony?" asked Wiz.
"That pony," Boomstick said as he pointed to the footage from the various spy-cams built into the canyon.
"Was a pony simulation scheduled for Blood Gulch? Or anywhere?" asked Wiz.
"Don't be stupid," replied Boomstick, "that's an adorable as fuck baby pony that can teleport and break solid rock with her bare hooves, I wouldn't let it leave the base, I would have called daddy dibs."
Wiz took a look at another terminal which held all the data on upcoming simulations, and found nothing even resembling what was happening what was going on at Blood Gulch. With a sigh, he walked towards the door.
"Where ya headed?" asked Boomstick.
"Oh, I'm going to throw the hard drive with all the future plans for Blood Gulch in the MRI in medical," replied Wiz, "would you mind burning the hardcopies?"
"Can I use my flamethrower?" Boomstick asked eagerly.
"Sure," Wiz replied fatalistically.
"Sweet," said Boomstick as he headed towards armory C, aka his personal collection.
Boomstick hummed merrily to himself as he pushed a wheelbarrow of paper into the flamethrower section. Setting it down, he began to pick through them. "Let's see, WWI, no. Dead Space, no. Aha!" he pulled down one that looked like it was made from a musical instrument, "The Rainblower, just the thing to celebrate them getting their own magical pony... I want my own magical pony, preferably one that can kick serious ass." However, before he turned he heard a sound that was quite familiar to him. "Huh, wonder if that party's cooking their meat the right way?" Turning around however, he saw that the wheelbarrow of paper he was going to light on fire, was now on fire.
"Hey, I was gonna burn that," he said, frowning under his helmet. However, his plans for fiery retribution were quickly canceled when he saw the culprit, a tiny pony exactly like the one the Blues got, except with a purple coat, lighter colored mane, and yellow eyes. Quickly looking around to see if anyone was around, he tossed his flamethrower to the side, where it exploded in epic rainbow-colored fashion, and glomped the pony while calling out, "Daddy Dibs!" The pony then promptly wacked him over the head with her purloined flamethrower. "Now now my little pony," Boomstick said as he picked her up and pulled the flamethrower away from her, "that's not how you hit someone with your weapon. You hit them with the butt end, it hurts more and you're less likely to break it. Unless you have a bayonet, in which case use that." The pony then reclaimed her weapon and promptly followed his advice, cracking his visor. Boomstick laughed as he ruffled her mane, "Well aren't you a fast learner." To his surprise, she didn't try to whack him this time. "Huh? Why the sudden lack of trying to hit me."
The pony then hugged her flamethrower tightly, "Don't touch." It was then that Boomstick noticed exactly which flamethrower she had grabbed, particularly the large plate that stuck up showing the brand.
"Huh, guess the kids really do love that one." He then noticed the rather large limestone pillar he used to try out his melee weapons, that was currently toppled over to make a ramp to the shelf her flamethrower was previously resting on. "I think I know what to call you."
Wiz sat in silence as the medical MRI's massive electromagnetic field caused the hard-drive to become nothing more than a very expensive paperweight. In his hand was a tablet that had the footage from the previous week or so. Of particular interest was Church's relationship with Maud, as well as a recording of Flowers' inquiry about a potential unknown personality fragment. Unlike the rest of the Blood Gulch team, he was aware of its real function, and made sure to deflect any of the more destructive scenarios from landing in it. In his right hand he was fiddling with some marbles, a habit he picked up from training fine motor control after getting that arm chopped of by a tachyon table saw and being replaced by a mechanical one, an event that he saw as a good thing. However, a stray magnetic surge from the MRI caused it to spasm slightly, causing him to drop one of the marbles. As he watched roll away behind a desk, he heard a small sound, like an eep of surprise from a particularly shy mouse. The only reason he heard it was because there was virtually no other sounds around. He slowly got up and went to look, only to find a baby pony of his own, with a light-grey color scheme and a long mane she could hide behind, playing with the marble he'd dropped. When she saw him, she quickly shrank down, although whether it was because she was shy, scared, or sorry about playing with it without asking wasn't something Wiz was able to tell. Choosing the diplomatic route, Wiz put down the remainder of his marbles and rolled them towards her, prompting a small smile that melted his heart like butter under a laser scalpel. They then proceeded to play with the marbles until the MRI finished up, and then for several minutes thereafter, allowing Wiz to come up with exactly what to call her.
Wiz and Boomstick returned to the observation room at about the same time, ponies in hand(Boomstick keeping his well away from the flamethrower). "Hey Wiz, guess what I..." Boomstick's words trailed off as he saw Wiz's new charge, "you're lucky I've already got my own."
"This should make finding out where they came from and how they got here easier, larger sample size and all that," Wiz replied, before noticing Boomstick's pony's new teddy bear. "Boomstick..." Wiz groaned as he reached out to grab it.
"Um... if I was you I wouldn't..."
*crack*
Boomstick looked down at the currently prone and twitching Wiz before turning to his pony, "I tried to warn him."
"Mm-hmm," the pony replied, as she started poking Wiz, trying to revive him.

Okay, this is looking like a good start. And I like the inclusion of Marble and Limestone.
...of course, now when I get around to writing the Death Battle chapter, I'll need to include them...and when I write the return to Equestria arc, I'll need to include Wiz and Boomstick...
8582668
Feel free to ask me for advice
8582671
When i get there, I will.
Well things are about to get even crazier with the addition of Wiz and Boomstick. This shall be fun.
..........................THAT has GOTTA hurt. Still, I can't help but wonder WHERE Wiz got hit? The arm, or the nuts? I'm thinking his balls considering the crack.
Yeah. Boomstick DID try to warn him. And I thought Wiz was smarter than him.
Looking good so far.
You're as good at doing this as Tats is. WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD ABOUT YOU UNTIL NOW???
So Wiz and Boomstick has Marble and Limestone while the Reds and Blues has Maud and also the season 4 finale of Death Battle with Sephiroth vs Vergil is finally here what people wanted
Wait until Wiz and Boomstick meet the whole cast of My Little PWNY. I think Shining Armor will want to see how his family stacks versus his sisters family in some actual battle.
8582871
I'm with you there
8582871
I'm thinking, commentary
This will be fun
Yes. All of my yes. 5/5 Moustaches!
Oh dear
Somebody call Screw Attack and send them a link to this.
Was wondering when this was gunna show up.
Great chapter, just wondering if you're going to give Joselyn a pony?
8583049
Do you see any other ponies in the character tab?
8583005
Sent. Now we wait for the fireworks.
8583060
There's the other tab.
8583069
That's because there isn't a tab for Wiz, Boomstick, or their coworkers.
8583085
Ok just wondering, also this is good I can practically hear the characters saying the lines in my head
8582668
This is awesome.
Also I'm crying because seeing fanon ascend to canon always brings a tear to my eye.
Heh...
Just a few years ago Pinkie was the only spartan pony around, and now there is Maude now a spartan from the future and potentially two more in the form of Marble and Limestone.
Really liking the story so far. I feel a little sad knowing that Pinkie is the only Pie sister who is being left out in the story.
Yes. All the yes.
I can't help but think what'd happen if wiz and boomstick found this fic...
Wiz: "yep, that's us alright."
Boomstick: :How'd they know I had a chicken sacrificing alter?"
Great as usual Cyber, can't wait for more.
8583202
She got a God of War as a Dad, I think she'll be fine, See.
Shocked nobody's mentioned it yet, but lovely Spaceballs shout-out there.
Have a like!
And now the PWNY-verses rational behind who was sent to other universes is going to need to be changed.
So much disturbed yes
Now that I've finished watching RvB and caught up to RitG I can follow this puppy, too. This is gonna be FUN.
I'd like to think that i played a part in this fic's creation.
Ha! He said it! He said it!
MOAR!
Please?

Boomstick: My only regret is that I didn't get the rainbow one, that battle against Starscream was AWESOME!
Wiz: He already used her Boomstick...
Boomstick: Damn! What about the pink one?
Wiz: Used her too... though I THINK these are supposed to be her sisters?
Boomstick: So... one could TECHNICALLY say I'm her Dad too?
Wiz: Well, I guess... aaand I just realized that means I'm related to you now. Crud.
8584135
It's Discord's doing, "rationale" is a swear word for the guy!
8606289
Not to mention the guy who ended up adopting him, by the way anyone else have a sudden craving for cheese?
Did anyone else catch this bit, or just me?
Also, when can I expect another chapter of this? Just curious.
8684532
I admit, my muse is a bit on the fickle side
8686207
If you're having trouble coming up with ideas as far as what to have happen with Wiz, Boomstick, and the fillies, feel free to send me a PM. We can bounce ideas back and forth.
please hit Fimction's cancel or hiatus button on this story, seeing say incomplete makes me hopeful, but i know thats wrong and that makes me feel sad
8684532
I got it!

Shouldn't this be an Analogue of The Rock in the Gulch, and NOT a sequel? I mean, this is happening at the same time as the other story, so why is it stated:
if it's not taking place after Rock in the Gulch ends?
8745067
It's set as that for the links in both stories, its how the site works

Cyber may take I while to upload chapters, but he always does. Have faith friend.
