//------------------------------// // Day 8 (2 post) // Story: Birthday Wish // by Midnight Spawn //------------------------------// Sorry I didn't post last night guys. Twilight over here fell asleep! Oh well, she really needed it I guess. I've taken another of "Zecora's Red Bull" so I'm up and running again! Although it doesn't seem to be as strong this time. Hm. Anyway, I tried the spell to return the captive ponies to their right minds, but I wasn't quite strong enough to pull it off. Darn kid's body! But the good news is Twilight was able to cast it with ease. She's currently (well not this very second, but) teaching all the unicorns how to use this spell, so I believe we have achieved our greatest weapon! Alongside that, if we bathe in that cure for the Poison Joke before touching it, it won't affect us. So if we can find a time to head on over to the market in Ponyville, we could get the herbs we need and turn the blue plants into yet another weapon against the enemy! Does anyp... body else think things are a little too easy? Like, Stormcloud hasn't attacked us hardly at all (except yesterday when he caved-in the tunnels and shot at the forest), we've only been in a few battles, but we haven't had any casualties... maybe it's because we're playing smart and avoiding directly fighting. I tell ya, all of your knowledge of this world and what can be used as weapons is kinda impressive. Now... if only we could find some Parasprites! One other thing, if I could suggest some near-future goals: Crystal Empire (and possibly recruiting the Changlings), getting into the castle to free Discord and the princesses, curing as many ponies as possible with the new spell. Honestly, I don't see how we could lose now! Let's wrap this up! And is it strange that I dreamed of me and the ponies in a rap-battle against Stormcloud last night? I still remember most of the lyrics, too. Yea, that's weird... Post #2 Send a SMALL force into ponyville to get some poison joke. Continue using the "reforming" spell on as many prisoners as possible. ...and build up more defenses. And other than this, I order you to act at your own discretion. Just about all the prisoners are bouncing around and colorful. We will soon have some poison joke in our arsenal. As for our own discretion, I'm going to spend the night training myself and the earth ponies how to use these spears. Then we'll all get a good night's sleep to be ready for whatever the plan is for tomorrow. About the spell, it takes its effect on the heart, so it has to be directly used on the target. We have to actually touch the target with our horn. And I say "we" because I've almost got it down! I haven't been able to get it quite right, but I'll have it soon I think. And the rap battle? Haha! Well you have to remember that this was a dream, which means it's going to be strange. Add that to the fact that I can't rap, and you get this: (Fluttershy) You stand before the great Fluttershy! The bronies killed the last pony who dared to make me cry! My element is kindness, but you wouldn't know about that, 'cause you get your kicks and giggles from sitting in a castle getting fat! I've tamed Manticores! You can't even tame your mane! You have to kidnap some ponies to get anyone to say your name! I've never heard of you before--you must be new, I'd show you around, but even the clean air avoids you! (Stormcloud) Oh, Fluttershy, afraid to show your face? I would be too if I always finished in last place! I'm the king of Darkness! You're only friends are the birds! Pretending you can match me, you've never seemed so absurd! You tamed the wild beast, or it's just afraid of your smell? I'm not very impressed, if you're not too naive to tell. There's a reason you're only loved in the Brony community, And your most popular line is, "I'd like to be a tree!" (ApplaJack) "You leave her alone!" My bucks are so strong, they knock the apples from their place, Just come a little closer, so I can do that to your face! My element states that I would never tell a lie, And, suger, I'm saying, "You are one ugly guy!" Yeehaw! It seems this war is already won! How can we lose to somepony whose own parents wish they didn't own? You say that you can make us all disappear in a poof, But All I see you doing is being stomped on by my hoof! (Stormcloud) Oh dear, it's AppleJack, the pony who sleeps with pigs, I wouldn't be surprised if you mistook a goat for your own kid! And don't get me started on that wasteland of a farm, I can't count how many times you've had to raise that barn! Your losing this fight! Your rhymes have no bite! You're the only pony here who hasn't been in flight! (Pinkie Pie) "You can't speak to AppleJack that way!" My name is Pinkie Pie, and I am here to say, I'm going to bring you down, and you will forever rue this day! I'm the breaker of fourth walls! You'd better hope my mane stands tall! Physics can't hold me down, let alone the most ugly of them all! When I laugh the darkness flees, I don't dodge--danger avoids me! When you want to start a war, who makes a stupid game of it?! Now come here, "friend", I have a cupcake with your name on it! (Twilight) I matched the Princess's magic when I was only four, Nowadays, I could out-cast you for sure! My idiosyncrasies dominate this fight! When I thought I couldn't get better, suddenly I have flight! The leader of the mane six, now the leader of a kingdom! Even the princess bows down to my great and awesome wisdom! You changed the weather, I saved the world! Hang your head in shame-- You've just been beaten by a girl! (James) Your super power is you let others know your plan, You wish you could be the great time traveler that I am! When you visited other kids, did none of them want to play? Did your mother drop you when you were born? Or just throw you away? I'm glad you hide behind that cloud, your face looks like Granny Smith's rear! Now listen closely--this I want you to hear: You've awakened the beast. Your luck just ran out. The human race rises in the east. This time you've finally struck out. (Stormcloud) What is this flea I see before me? 'Tis nothing but a foal! All the schemes you've concocted, every one of them you were told! As soon as your life got hard, you went running to a fandom! But now you're all alone, wet, lost and abandoned. You forget your parents at the first chance and left, now I see all along you were nothing but a-- Then I woke up. Phew! I think that potion's wearing off... that didn't last as long as I thought it would. I still feel like I haven't slept in days... ugh, I'm going to bed. Night people.
