SNABU: Situation Normal: All Bucked Up

by RDDash


3: Back in My Days...

Princess Luna sighted, there was something amiss with the situation that just happened today early morning.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing Clone Commander! I just realized that the whole plot replied on a very stupid invasion, which somehow supposed to take us by complete surprise." Luna fiddled with her hooves. "Even with Queen Chrysalis constantly providing us with creative invasion scenarios, what were those idiots even thinking when they decided they could just waltz in here right in the middle of the day."

"You've mentioned that before but did she really still doing it?"

"But of course, she still provides her services, even if one of her invasions backfired in such spectacular way that it triggered the next stage in their evolution. I had to say, Princess Twilight had to explain to Starlight why exactly Chrysalis refused her offer."

"Her job is not over yet?"

"That's correct, Commander, at least one more mission is left and then who knows what will happen next. Now then, let's go meet our prisoner in the dungeons."

After Princess Luna trotted all the way to the dungeons, she then trotted to the farthest cell where their newly captured prisoner Tempest Shadow had been standing.

"Would you ask me to kneel too?" She spat to Princess Luna.

"You foolish little foal! No, I will not ask you to kneel!" Princess Luna trotted really close to Shadow. "Let me guess, you got your horn broken by the Ursa Minor, and then you started to feel high and mighty because of it! Is that it? Well? Did I guess it right?"

"Yes!" Shadow replied, "How did you know?"

"How did I know without you telling me? I wasn't born yesterday little foal I know at least one thousand methods how to damage Unicorn's horn. I remember back in my day Unicorn Royal Guards went in early retirement with all kind of injuries including broken horns. All of them had to deal with it, and none of them threw foals tantrum like you did today.

"I suppose I should tell you when we are going to capture that individual Storm King then he can personally rot here with you in the dungeons."

With that, she trotted back from the dungeons and straight to her office.

"I know what you are thinking Commander but I have nothing to say to her, nor do I wish to continue talking to her. I already said what I need to say and that's final. If you think that's my behavior Is somehow does look like out of character, then I should just remind you that in my days she would have been executed for treason. Nowadays she will get a nice comfy jail cell and then it's Princess Twilight problem not mine. Now if you please excuse me I have paperwork to do."

"I leave you to it then!" With that Commander just went outside and closed the door.


"I've just received news that they captured Tempest Shadow!" Twilight Sparkle just now received a magic transmission from Canterlot

"Well that's good I think, does that means we probably shouldn't see her all the way over here."

"No Rainbow she shouldn't! You did bust out her ride remember? Even if she somehow escape she would lose the massive advantage of traveling really long distances in a short amount of time."

"So? What are you going to do with her then?"

"Do we even had to do anything at all? I mean can't we just once go with our lives without trying to forgive the bad guy!" Pinkie Pie stated her own thoughts on the subject

"Pinkie, I didn't expect from you to go one-eighty from forgiveness policy."

"Twilight! Normally I would be extremely friendly to just everyone in Equestria and outside of its borders, but I thought about it. And, well, sometimes other people are just mean meany pants. I don't know, I just feel like there is always some fakeness is going on even if people are just trying to be nice with each other."

Twilight then tried another tactic "Well okay! I suppose I can live with that, but don't you think we are a bit harsh."

Rarity then replied, "What do you mean?"

"She is a cripple, I mean she lost her horn since childhood."

"And how is it had been working out for her? Is that somehow slowed down her magical abilities, or alienated all the other ponies that used to be her friends. If second, then she had some really bad friends, and the rest she just did it to herself. I am sorry if this sounds cruel to you Twilight, but she is a traitor, and we do have a zero-tolerance policy for traitors..."


Princess Cadence and Princess Celestia just now came back to others, just recently Twilight suggested it would be more efficient if they would split up into two teams. She said that somehow it will work itself out. They just now managed to negotiate their transport from the bend of local pirates. Their job specialty was actually misleading since the actual piracy being illegal, however, nobody would stop them performing to be a fake piracy for the sake of entertainment.

"Cadence, are you seeing the same thing I am seeing?"

"Celestia, If by that you mean them actively trying out their new personalities then yes! Right now Pinkie Pie is trying to be rude and uncaring, Twilight is trying to be kind and compassioned, Fluttershy simply observers and not saying anything simply because an engaging conversation with just about anyone is simply a sure way to offend them. so I guess she is just being herself. Rarity is technically right, I suppose Discord received a slap on the claw that one time. Now that I think about it Applejack is practicing Fluttershy tactic, and Rainbow Dash only rarely engages in the conversation.

"I remember Princess Luna went into her usual tirade Back in my days we used to execute traitors, end of story! [/i ] Then she remembered that Discord is immortal, so she just let it go of the issue."

"Do you suppose she realizes how that sounds from her point of view, and technically The Forgive and Rehabilitate Clausse exist partially because of her."

"I've talked to her about that, she then said this to me that I should be more realistic, for example, according to her, the only reason because she got away with the Nightmare Moon fiasco is that the Alicorn regime was still in power. However she wouldn't ask for mercy or expect it from Griffins, Minotaurs, Diamond Dogs, Goats, Donkeys, Cows, Dragons, The Old and New Changelings, and I suppose by now several other species we've been actively ignoring by now "

Princess Celestia then asked one simple question "Do you suppose we should tell them that we have just arrived?"

"Well if you want to break their socializing session then I suppose we should, but I advise against it."

"Right, well I guess we just wait then for them to naturally finish it"
