New Friendship Games-based story by Leo Archon · 4:29pm Feb 28th, 2016
Hey folks...
For Unleash the Magic fans, my longtime partner in writing crime, Leo Archon, has written a new 3000-word one-shot set in the immediate aftermath of the Friendship Games. It's not adult, but a couple of you expressed disappointment that Cinch's takedown in the final chapter of UtM was too quick. So here's an expansion of it, written by Leo and edited by me, where Cinch is taken down hard by a surprise figure, and you learn that far more was going on behind the scenes than the movie implied.
Leo has been cowriter on many of my projects, from Turnabout Storm to Rise of Firefly. He's made my works better, and I try to do the same for him. So please give him a look and a like, and check out his other stuff as well.
Here's a teaser of Her Legacy Won't Endure...
It was a tense scene in the schoolyard of Canterlot High School. Local students and visitors from Crystal Prep had just witnessed the corruption, madness, and purification of one Twilight Sparkle, a student from Crystal Prep who was competing in the Friendship Games.
They hadn't even recovered from that shock when Crystal Prep's principal, Abacus Cinch, had demanded CHS's forfeiture from the Games, claiming the use of magic constituted an unfair advantage over her own school, and that CHS's students were using magic for their own benefit. Principal Celestia of CHS had replied that saving the world was for everyone's benefit, and the Crystal Prep students had rallied behind their former opponents, much to Principal Cinch's consternation.
"Obviously," she snarled at Celestia, "my students have been infected with your magic, but I plan on taking all of this up with the school board!"
Whatever reply Celestia might have made was pre-empted by another voice entirely. "That will not be necessary, Abacus." Everyone blinked, and turned towards the speaker.
Approaching the crowd of students and administrators was a woman in a crisp white business suit. It matched her pale skin rather well, and had a pin of an inkwell and quill above her left breast. A long flowing mane of brown hair came down to the middle of her back, framing her blue-green eyes. She stood as tall as Celestia, and her face was set in a neutral expression.
On seeing her, Principal Cinch's composure returned. "Ah, Superintendent Faust. Your timing is rather fortuitous..."
