Well, I claimed to be able to shell out two more chapters by the time Halo 4 came out, didn't I?  Well, 90 minutes away from launch and I have barely been onto FiMFiction in the last two months...why?

FUCKING BORDERLANDS 2.

See, I LOVED it at first.  Within the past week, though?  I've found that the game's difficulty curve is just too much.  Its not that its hard per say, but just the fact that it requires you to use one specific piece of gear for you to be effective, that said, I shield that boosts all of your bullets by 50K damage.  Otherwise, only a rocket launcher or a sniper rifle shot to the head is the only way you can get these numbers with a single shot, and this shield booster does damage PER BULLET, so, with a shotgun that fires 18 pellets, you'll dish out somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 damage if you get a critical hit.  Otherwise, it takes LITERALLY clips of ammo to kill certain lower level enemies, but a BOSS without this Shield?  FUHGETABOUTIT.

Anyway, with Halo 4 coming out, I SHOULD be able to devote more time to the story.  I know it sounds contrary, but Borderlands pretty much requires a two solid days (48 hours) of playing to level your character to 50, assuming you do all the side missions and know what you're doing.  First playthrough when I DIDN'T know where everything was, I've logged about 4 whole days on two DIFFERENT characters.

With Halo 4, I'll have the first playthrough of the campaign done within two days or so, and then all I'll have left is multi player, and I can do that in 2 hour chunks.  Borderlands had a LONG campaign, but Halo 4 has a short one (eight missions) and multiplayer, so I'll probably be able to do more chapters.

Sorry about the wait, folks.  Anyway, I'm off to go wait in line.  Wish me luck.

Surprisingly, the best part of this story, IMO, doesn't take place in the courtroom.  I think you'll see what I mean when you get to it.  This one got away from me.  I originally wanted this to be a one on one Q & A with the Mane Six, and Discord comparing Dimitri to each one of them, offering evidence that Dimitri was loyal and honest (in a twisted way to his criminal family) and that he was generous, kind, and even shared laughter (helping out his friends and donating to and volunteering with orphanages and the like.)  But I opted for this, and I'm happy with how it turned out.  I hope you enjoyed reading it because it was fun to write.

I also intend to make a short (4K words or less) entitled Twelve Angry Ponies that covers what happens when the jury leaves for deliberations.  Check back later!
