The next chapter will get here when it gets here · 3:34pm Jul 9th, 2012
Hi readers!
Sorry it’s taking so long, but a lot of things get in the way of flat out writing: real life, reading other stories, internet connection getting iffy. You know, the usual.
So while you’re waiting for the next chapter, here are a few sections that I’ve got beta planned for some future chapters. Keep in mind that these may not necessarily coincide with the actual chapters once they come out. All right, I’ve done enough rambling. Take a look for yourselves.
Coming up on Nothing Probably Goes On Forever Too:

“Today is a momentous occasion. Not one, but three of the Zanpaktou’s chosen wielders stand ready for the trial. But this is neither a competition nor a contest. All three of you may prevail or none of you. But we did not come all this way to see you fall short of the mark. We trust that you are ready.”
The three ponies in question firmly nodded once each.
“Then let the test of Bankai begin! Thrust your blades into the mannequins before you.”

“Lengthen my reach, I ask of you. Extend, Hozukimaru!”

How had this happened? How the heck did Wonderweiss of all Arrancar get here? I couldn’t move. I could only quiver in fear awaiting the inevitable end.
My fear was suddenly replaced with new shock as large orange flames passed my vision. The Arrancar let out an inhumane scream as the fires pushed him back and consumed him. Still, I found myself unable to move, despite the initial threat being dealt with. I looked to my left… and opened my mouth in shock at what I saw. One word left my dry throat.
“Steven?”

“Mask of flesh and blood,” chanted Apple Bloom, “Universe soar. The one crowned with man’s name.”
“The one who reigns, mask of flesh, all creation and flap of wings,” chanted Sweetie Belle, “The one who bears the name of man.”
“Carriage of thunder,” chanted Scootaloo, “Bridge of a spinning wheel.”
“Carve a twin lotus into the wall of blue flames and await the blazing fires to reach the distant heavens.”
“Gathering of heat and war beyond the seas and rivers take steps to the south.”
“With light divide this into six.”
“Hado 73: Soren Sokatsui!” called Apple Bloom.
“Hado 31: Shakkaho!” called Sweetie Belle.
“Bakudo 61: Rikujokoro!” declared Scootaloo.

"A Princess must learn to practice restraint," she explained her lackluster Zanpaktou.

That's it for this sneak peek.
Happy speculation!
Next chapter is coming really soon!
Zecora has Hozukimaru. That's... unexpected.
And there are three ponies trying for Bankai. I'm going to guess right now: Applejack, Rainbow, and Scootaloo.
And Firewall (or Steven) is making an appearance! Fun fact: my real life name is Stephen (pronounced the same, spelled differently)
