"Oh shit." Grif said, taking a few steps back.
"What?" Tex asked, turning her head to see behind her. "What's wrong?"
"Please don't kill me, I'm far too lazy to die."
"Hurt you? Why would I do that?"
"Like you don't know." Grif said weakly as he bumped into one of the fallen pillars.
"I don't remember anything, okay?"
"Yeah fucking right, you tell me that now but once my back is turned BOOM. You hit me in my balls again."
Tex gave Grif a look of confusion but said nothing.
"Do you really not remember or are you just trying to get my guard down?" Grif asked seriously. "Because if it's the second thing, that's seriously uncool."
"Listen, all I know is I woke up and there was a bunch of other horse assholes that began fighting each other. I came up here, but a red one chased me and pretty much broke everything in here. I tried to fight back, but well..." Tex trailed off as she showed her ribs, which had a series of bruises on it. "Let's just say that guy is an asshole. That's all I know right now, and you babbling on isn't exactly making anything clearer."
"Oh well in that case, you were one of my closest friends and you would never hurt me."
"Really?" Tex asked bluntly.
"Yup."
"You don't seem like the sort of guy I'd hang around..."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"No offense, but you sort of seem like an idiot. Actually now that you mention it, something about you seems-"
"Yeah well we're actually best friends if I remember it right." Grif said quickly.
"If we're best friends then why did you act like I was going to kill you?"
"Oh that. That's just a little joke we like to do, don't you remember. Please don't rip my skull out and beat me with it." Grif laughed weakly. "See? A joke."
Tex gave him a small frown and looked around the room until her eyes rested on the stallion walking towards her.
"Huh. And those more of our friends?"
Tex began to focus on Church's cutie mark and shuddered violently. Her eyes became cloudy and she began to sway back and fourth, giving the sense that she was going to fall. Grif stepped forward and stopped her, giving her time to regain her balance.
"Grif?" Tex asked suddenly, voice back to it's normal strength.
"Oh hey, she remembers me." Grif laughed. With a sigh of relief he let her go and dusted himself off before starting to walk away. His eyes darted back to Tex who was giving him a harsh glare. "Oh fuck she remembers me!"
Tex grabbed Grif by the tail as he attempted to run away, pulled him towards her and slammed her hoof into his crotch. Grif let out a soundless scream and his face quickly turned bright red. She then grabbed him by his tail, swung him in the air a few times before slamming him into the ground. She turned around and threw Grif a couple feet ahead of her.
"Anytime now guys." Grif said weakly as Tex began walking towards him. "Guys?"
Tex grabbed Grif by his hind legs and threw him into the air, causing him to slam his head onto the ceiling of the ruins. As he fell back down she jumped in the air and kneed him in the balls.
"Guys." Grif wheezed as he crashed into the floor.
Tex grabbed Grif by the wing and threw him into one of the few remaining pillars, shattering it completely. Grif slowly started to get off the floor, but Tex lifted him by the throat and he began to choke.
"Y'know, this doesn't hurt as much as... I remember..."
"What?"
"Must be me being part tree and all." Grif said with a small smile.
Tex dropped him on the ground and huffed.
"Why'd you stop?" Church asked as he approached her.
"Fuck you." Grif grunted quietly.
"I guess hurting him just isn't as much fun if I can't... well... hurt him." Tex said sadly. "So what's the deal? Why the fuck am I a horse."
"Long story." Church grunted.
"I have time."
"I am afraid that time is the one thing we do not have." Delta said as he walked to Church's side.
"Delta?" Tex asked confusedly.
"Hello Allison. It is more or less good to see that your memory has returned to you. This will make the process much easier. Now I would suggest-"
"How is Delta still alive?" Tex asked. Her eyes shot open and she looked at the ground, memories from before flooding back to her. "How am I still alive?"
"The short version is Caboose died, we tried to bring him back, we succeeded, but then we brought the other AIs back with him."
"All of them?"
"Shouldn't the part you bring up the fact that we brought Caboose back to life?"
"That can wait. So all of them?"
"Epsilon got hit by a beam that was supposed to bring back those that were dead. Since it was supposed to bring back the dead when it struck Epsilon, it brought Gamma, Sigma, Omega, Theta, you and I back into the artificially living world. Now the others are still free and if we do not stop them soon they very well may harm the innocents of this world."
"We?"
"Yes, we are to-"
"At what point did I agree to any of this?"
"I'll let you hit Grif again." Church said coolly.
"Deal." Tex said as she bucked Grif in the chin.
"Ow, my chin." Grif said weakly before collapsing to the floor.
"Man it's good to be back." Tex said with a wicked smile.
"Is it safe to come in?" Simmons asked as he peered through the doorway.
"Are they all here?"
"Just the reds, Caboose, Tucker and me." Church sighed as he tapped Grif on the shoulder, causing him to slowly get back up.
"Well we kind of have another Andy." Simmons grunted.
"Yeah but he's a prick. Maybe even more so than Andy."
"More of a prick than Andy?" Tex asked with a raised brow. "Who is it?"
"Hello Tex!" Caboose said loudly, causing Tex to lose her train of thought. "How are you tonight?"
"Fine Caboose." Tex murmured as she watched Twilight enter the ruins. She narrowed her eyes and began to sneer. "You!"
"Allison." Twilight replied coldly.
"Don't you fucking dare call me that again or I swear I'll kill you this time." Tex snapped, taking a step towards Twilight.
"You'll have to go through me first." Church said, walking in front of Tex.
"Our time would best be used trying to find the other fragments. Violence will get us nowhere."
Tex rolled her eyes and stormed past Twilight without saying anything.
"Where is she going?" Rarity asked.
"If you guys want to stand around and talk like you always do, go ahead. But I'm going to do what I do best." Tex said as she reached the bridge.
"What does she mean by that?"
"She's going to find something to hurt." Church said, walking out the door.
Every time I add a new character I think they're hard to write.
First it was Necky, but I think I got him down now.
Then it was Delta, who I'm still having some trouble with.
And now I have Tex, who is just a complete bitch, both in the writing sense and literal sense.
Also wachoo guys think about the new title art?
Aww yeah.
So...much...awesome.
Sucks to be grif
And do I detect a hit of romance between church and twilight? (Church protecting her) or is it just wishful thinking?
Oh man......poor Grif..
And like that the shit hit the fan and now it's everywhere. *sigh*
I'll get the mop
Poor poor Grif. You suffer so that others may laugh their asses off.
so....many...chapters
Oh man this is brilliant i can just hear the characters speaking been watching RvB since season 1 and you my good man are spot on the characters
Awesume. Simply awesume.
708355 It's adorable. Not really as awe inspiring (If that's the right set of words) as the other. Still, I like it.
708355 I like the new title art, and it also gives kind of a full reference so its easier to visualize.
708355 It's pretty boss
Start calling Necro, Andy from now on. DO IT!
708355
Honestly? I'm not too keen on the new artwork. That aside though, new chapter is pretty freakin awesome.
708464
I knew some people wouldn't like it, I just feel it's nicer to have an actual representation of what they all actually would look like.
708355 that is the best cover picture ever ... of all time
YUSSS! A New Picture!
Keep it up DarkWing, this story just keeps on getting better by the chapter!
Cheers!
Kyor
708486 other than when Tucker is flying (Grif is too lazy to) or when Simmons or Church is using magic i simply visualize them in their Spartin suits. now i have a reference for when they fly/use magic
708355 Is awesome. And my favorite part is Church just facehooving due to all the adorableness and happiness.
Like both the art and chapter.
Oh who am I kidding. I like all the chapters, all 118 of them.
Well, there goes Tex. For the unfortunate souls that dare cross her path, In the words of Taskmaster: You're in for a world of hurt!
Love the cover art, bro!
708355
Looks cool bro!
Hey, uh..I have some questions, despite the fact I jumped couple of chapters
How does twilight know tex, other than from church telling her?
And why do they have bitter relationship?
And finally, is there gonna be a chuch x twi relationship?
708778
This Chapter
I for one think the new cover art is awesome!
708486
That's a good point, Caboose was never in Equestria and his armor at the same time anyways.
The title art helps me tell who is who and looks like what.
708899
I was just wondering if you were gonna carry this out for as long as possible or am i going to be a sad pony mid july cause THIS IS THE BEST BUCKING CROSSOVER FIC EVER. of all time. I even rewatched season 5-8 again to understand the character's more clearly and i do not notice a difference. And if you do not mind i can try and see if i can get you a mention on the RT podcast. Good Luck!
...ow.
709268
Yeah I'm going to keep this going as long as I get ideas for arcs. Even if I run out I may end up passing the baton over to someone else to continue it's legacy (though this wouldn't happen for awhile I can assure you).
And if you don't mind me asking, how are you going to go about the whole podcast thing?
Because I am very fond of threatening people.
709277
Um i happen to be a member of their site and was gonna write out a paragraph to Gus (Podcast director) about how he gives bronies a bad rap (He mentioned the lyra plushie you know the one) and attempt to just get him to put this in the link dump because it is a good representation of how bronies actually are. Not just sick weirdos but some happen to be talented authors.
709294
Talented.
Right.
And yes, I know of the fabled Lyra plushie of many uses, all of which are completely non-sexual.
just finished reading all of them so far and you post this one nice work cant wait for the next part
When I first saw the title art I exploded twice erupting my home into a burning rainboom.
nice pic now i can picture what they look like :D great ch. as well!
Fluttershy should give Tex the STARE, it's fun seeing Grif getting his ass whooped and all, but goddamn someone's gotta say something
708726
The fact that you quoted Taskmaster wins you all my love!!
You're awesome
709305
QUIET AND TAKE MY BITS!
708355
Its pretty boss.
iruntheinternet.com/lulzdump/images/gifs/weekendatbernies-dance-didnt-read-lol-1321498882q.jpg i will read when my hangovers gone
708355 New art is sex
Protect me, cone!
When she was beating up Grif, I just imagined a fight scene song in my head.
709294 Just wondering, what podcast did Gus talk about the plushie? Its just I skip some of them sometimes, and I don't remember him talking about it.
Ah...nice to see tex doing what she does best again! Many lawlz will ensue.
710737
Last weeks or the week before.
708486 Well personally I prefer it to the original artwork with just a human Caboose and Twi because that is not what happened in the story, but despite the fact I like it, I think that the Mane 6 could be improved. This was a nice chapter, now for the other AI's
712121
The last picture was Church and Twi, not Caboose and Twi
712205 really? wow the color looked Caboose blue and at the time it kinda made sense because the description talks about mainly Caboose and the title is My Little Caboose. But I guess Church also makes sense
I sense some upcoming Fluttershy vs. Tex. Possibly correct?
