Prometheus Unbound (Part 1) Preview · 12:42am Jun 21st, 2016
Sorry it's been taking so long. But as I commented on Sparkletop Rainbow's blog post, Google Drive crashed on me after spending two hours of listening to concentration music before I could save. From now on, I'm physically writing the drafts. It'll be longer, but I can avoid the risk of losing precious writing. Based on the amount of words so far, I will easily say that "Prometheus Unbound" will be two chapters, the upcoming chapter under the subtitle: Double Jeopardy.
Here is a preview from the first draft so far, and may change before it is published.
Our heroes prepare for the assault, warming up their powers for the upcoming battle. For some, they require actual human weapons. Applejack grabbed her lasso, Cosgrove put on a pair of knuckle dusters (a touchy subject, for they are illegal to own in Colorado), Scootaloo wielded a few police batons, Tex grabbed a belt of gas grenades and SWAT shield. Apple Bloom put on a brass colored vacuum hose attached to a bullet proof jar at the back. It's purpose was shown to her during a sneak visit to Equestria.
“So there is a Galgameth in your world?” Asked the pony Cogsworth. In Equestria, the human Crusader was taller than her counterpart, adding a little confusion to both him and Cosgrove “Well, I can tell you that Galgameth is no cakewalk.”
“So I know…” added Apple Bloom
“When I fought the robot, I used an EMP spell.” Cosgrove rubbed his chin “It should work on your counterpart for at least awhile.”
“But if what you say is true, and probably is” Cogsworth pulled forward on the wheelchair “you are going to need a lot of firepower to get that mind control thing out of him.”
Cogsworth rolled over to a cabinet, pulling out the vacuum Apple Bloom now possessed.
“Ponyville originally had a Twittermite problem.” - the Hipparion was given the tool before giving it to Apple Bloom, pointing to the container - “This is built to contain their power, it should be able to store the plasma grenade energy you mentioned.”
Back at the present, Apple Bloom looked at the vacuum one last time before picking it up and tightening up the harness. She took a deep breath and turned around. Dapplewood stood before her, studying the new piece of equipment before he took out his phone and chose a recording.
“Apple Bloom, Sunset and Twilight said we might disturb the balance by going into the portal.” Said Sweetie Belle’s voice.
“Only one of us. The Twilight in there did it, besides it should be a short while.” Said Apple Bloom's voice.
“Wait, you’re-?” Scootaloo’s last words before Apple Bloom ran through the portal, cutting off the connection.
Back at the present, Apple Bloom and Dapplewood looked at each other. Whatever the Crusader was planning, it would be just as crazy as their siege mission. She walked forward, kneeling before the boy.
“Give me this chance to make it right.” She asked.
As is his character, Dapplewood just stared at her. Even before this mess started while he was a baby, Apple Bloom and her friends were ambitious, and have gotten into trouble. After the Anon-a-Miss fiasco and the botched up Valentine's Dance, Dapplewood slowly drew a smile when he felt a vibration in his pockets.
“Dapplewood, Apple Bloom, let’s go!” Said Sunset on the other side. The boy looked back at Apple Bloom, giving her a wink before leaving the room and joining up with his boss.
Tomorrow will begin my job at Petsmart also, so updates will be slow as well. That, and alongside editing a few fics (I have found some problems with "A Maximal Crusader" I can certainly fix aside from removing the Romance tag) before placing it in groups I have been joining recently.
Breath Deep, Seek Peace.
