//------------------------------// // Episode 46: ORDER! I WILL HAVE ORDER AT THIS MEETING! // Story: The Life of a Wanted Changeling Season 2: Debt to a Doctor (Comment Driven Story) // by Down with Chrysalis //------------------------------// Intro Silence. Not one word was uttered as each group glared at one another. You can feel the tension rise as each second pass. Its so thick you could cut it like swiss cheese and you don't really like cheese that much (not since the cheese disaster caused by you and grand buggy, but that is a story tor another time). You decide to break the tension by speaking up. Grey Rebel's comment As the Deadly Five and the Horde glared at each other and themselves, you can just feel the tension in the air thicken as each second passes. It's so thick you could cut it like a giant cheese wheel (and you've never exactly been a cheese connoisseur, not since the cheese disaster caused by you and grandbuggy, but that is a story tor another time). You decide to break the tension with a cunning bluff... You quickly reach into the Inventory and whip out The Doctor's Notebook and flamboyantly wrote a name into it as dramatic fux-chanting music plays and little sparks follow each penstroke in a display which grabs everypony's attention. After this display, you glanced back at Fluttershy and Spike and winked at them (they obviously didn't see the wink but they recognized the head motion) before opening the notebook to show a name written in it, Baker Sylvester Tennant "Congratulations, you know how to wri-" Rainbow Dash snarks, but you interrupt by declaring, "This is my Death Notebook! There are few like it, but this is mine!" and you chuckle evilly as they watch the name disappear before continuing, "In under a minute, somepony is going to be... gone." At that, Rainbow and Applejack were oddly confused, but Twilight gasps in horror, "N-No! I thought they were only a foal's tale adapted into a Neighponese serial!" You cackle, "Nightmare Moon was a fairy tale, and look what happened! You'd believe that I'd perform mind control, but you can't believe that I have an actual Death Notebook?" "Twi', what's the varmint talkin' about?" asked Applejack. "The Death Notebook: whoever's name gets written in its pages, the pony of that name would die in under a minute of a heart attack." Sparklebutt spoke somberly, "What!?" the Deadly Four cried in unison. "You mean, Tenant is going to die?!" Rainbow Dash yelled, causing some of the Horde member's eyes to widen at that. "Well," 'The Hooded Offender' began. "Since you've revealed that there was a spy among us, I assume that Tenant, who was supposed to be up the entrance doing surveillance, double-crossed us. That or he's too incompetent to be of any use to me alive so..." Twilight's ears flattened against her head at your implication of "B.S.T.'s death being her fault" as Rainbow Dash yells, "You monster! He has a daughter!" With that, she charges, but she stopped once you ready your writing tool onto paper, "You wouldn't want another on the page, would you?" you threaten causing her to back down. "Why? Why are you doings this?" Rarity says, You give her an intense glare as you declare, "If this is what I get for trying to STOP a revolutionary war in Equestria, then let THIS be the first casualty! There WILL be no mercy as far as I'm concerned! And there wouldn't a bucking thing that that'll stop me-" "Wait, there's gonna be a revolution?!" Twilight exclaims and silence falls as you realize your ruthless declaration just backfired as you think, please, please, PLEASE Lady Luck, let the DN bluff kick in... "N-no!" Twilight cries, breaking the silence "You're wrong! If my other self from the future came to me and gave me this warning, then it wouldn't have been impossible to stop you!" You scowl, "Oh? And what warning did you get? What instructions from the future were you given? Did she say there would be a revolution?" "I was told that a disaster was happening and that I shouldn't, uh..." She paused, trying to find the words, but you push, "Shouldn't what?" "That I-I..." She stammers as she sweats bullets. You give a chilling laugh. "You don't know? You don't know! Ahahaha! Well, how about I tell you!" You snarled, causing them to all jump back. "You shouldnt have provoked me! You shouldn't have bothered me for so long and you shouldn't have betrayed me that one time! You shouldn't been an idiot! You shouldn't have been a liar!" She flinched at the liar part. Suddenly, you smile. "...But you're right. You can stop this disaster. All you have to do is leave." "Leave?!" the Deadly Five exclaim. "Yes. Leave. Walk away. Pretend that none of this had ever happened. I would reverse the curse, and he'll go exit free. As long as he never shows his face again... If he even shows that face of his at all..." You tap on the notebook for emphasis before you nonchalantly say, "By the way, B.S. has nine seconds left..." As the mares stand there conflicted, you take advantage of their hesitation and quickly whip out your Plasmid/Vigor glove (really need a name for that) and put it on before pointing it towards them and shouting, This is only going to end badly if you don't do something to stop it. Time for action! "Alright! Everypony chill out!" you announce, drawing everpony's attention. "Chill out?!" Twi says menacingly as she stalks towards you and charges up her horn "There's a world-ending disaster right around the corner and you want us to 'chill out'!?" "I'm sorry, I said that wrong. What I meant to say was..." you charge up your Winter Blast plasmid "would you all kindly CHILL THE BUCK OUT!" and with that you slam your hoof into the floor, creating a frost nova that coats the Deadly 5 in a thick layer of frost, freezing them to where they stand. "Now then," you say to Twilight "if you'll excuse me for a moment; just stay right there." You could have sworn you saw her eyes roll under the ever so slowly melting ice. You have a new plasmid, right... "Chill out!" Nothing happens as everypony gives you a "really?" look before Twilight breaks the silence, "Chill out?!" Twi says menacingly as she stalks towards you and charges up her horn "There's a world-ending disaster right around the corner and you want us to 'chill out'!? And your about to kill somepony too!" "I'm sorry, I said that wrong. What I meant to say was would you all kindly CHILL THE BUCK OUT!" you declare as you slam your gloved hoof into the floor, creating a frost nova that coats the Deadly 5 in a thick layer of frost, freezing them to where they stand. "Now then," you say to Twilight "if you'll excuse me for a moment; just stay right there and cool off..." Almost everypony in the room groans at that pun and you could have sworn you saw her eyes roll under the ever-so-slowly melting ice. With that out of the way and the Deadly Five cooling down, you walk over to the Horde members, but your eyes widen in shock when you realize that they're not wearing hoods! Thinking quickly, you mentally whisper to Selena... No one has a hood on except for you, they’ll know who everyone is unless you do something, but what? If only it were darker…wait. “Selena! I need your help!” “I can see that, what do you need?” “Can you darken the Elite member’s faces or something, I don’t want them getting in trouble.” “I will try…” She unleashes a dark mist that obscures the features of all the Elite, making them appear blurry, aside from Fluttershy and Spike. “What are you doing Varmit?” AJ asks. “The Horde are my family, and they are under my protection…you will not harm them!” Selena! I need your help! I can see that, what do you need? Can you darken the Horde's faces or something, I don’t want them getting in trouble. I will try… She (and by extension, you) release a dark mist that obscures the features of all theHorde members, making them appear blurry, aside from Fluttershy and Spike. They look around in shock of the sudden midnight mist, but you ignore it as you hear Applejack scream from her icy prison, “What are you doing Varmint?!” Apparently, Freeze froze everything except their mouths, grreeeeaaatttt... With a sigh of annoyance you turn around and yell, “The Horde are MY family, and they are under MY protection… you will NOT harm them!” The Horde smile brightly at that from beneath the mist and Applejack surprisingly has a look of understanding. You shake it off as your eyes playing tricks on you as you say, "Now let's all calm down an-" "NO! STOP YOUR LIES OFFENDER! RELEASE THESE PONIES OF YOUR MIND CONTROL OR I'LL-!" Twilight shouts. You growl in anger as your eyes glow orange as you turn to face Twilight and shout, "I HAVE ENOUGH!" Shout suddenly the hooded "So... Mind control?" Ask the hooded "Yes!!! you put everypony here in mind control" Say Twilight "Just like you put them with the plushie a couple of weeks ago?" comment Bugzee as the hooded offender "I... I..." Begin to say Twilight as everypony that seemed to forgot that looked to her "And what happened? Your Princess, appeared and she repaired your mistake" Say Bugzee "I..." Say Twilight "look to everypony here... how much power do you think I need to put them under my spell? Remember the wedding, it was hard to Chrysalis to put your own brother in control, and she was with him all the time" Comment Bugzee as he sensed that was begin to win "How do you know about that? That was classified information" Ask Twilight "Not to say, you are not sleeping... Look at her, everypony, she is not sleeping well, she tell to all she meet herself in the future and apocalypsis is coming... Also, you are the element of magic, just tell me, how much magic I could need to control their mind and how much magic could I need to change the memory of them? Maybe as much as the power of Discord? That is in stone, are you sure it's not you, the one under magic mind control?" Ask the hooded offender Everypony gasp after what the figure of the Hooded Offender say, as they are confused, and then you look to Applejack "You are honesty... tell me, I tell any lie? Or did your friend maybe tell any lie?" Ask The Offender "ENOUGH!" After everypony quiets down, you continue by asking, "So... Mind control?" "Yes!!! You put everypony here under your mind control!" Twilight says. "Just like you did with that dirty doll a couple of weeks ago?" you point out. "I... I..." "And what happened then? Did your princess put a death order for you? NO! She just came in and cleaned up your mess!" "I..." "Look at everypony here... How much power do you think I'd need to put them under my spell? Remember the wedding? It was hard for the Queen of the changeling hive to put your own brother in control, and she was with him all the time" "How do you know about that? That was classified information-" "Look at her, everypony, she's clearly sleep-deprived. Also, you're the element of magic so tell me, how much magic would I need to control their minds and how much magic could I need to change their memories? Maybe as much power as Discord, who is in stone right now?" Everypony gasps after what you just said, as they're now confused. You then turn to Applejack and ask, "You're honesty, right? Am I lying?" "Well- I- Um..." You smile devilishly as you think, Oh... I must have sounded soooo cool while burning them just then! Take that Sparklebutt! Now to get some answers... With that you ask, "Now, how did you find us? There's no way you could have found out on your own, so how did you find us?" You still doubt that the spy is real (considering how bad the lie was) but Twilight just says, "I already told you, I totally have a real, defiantly-not-fake-in-any-way spy that told me!" You sigh as you sit down and think... BrownDog's comment Seems like she's continuing her bad lie... Now how did they pinpoint this exact spot? The Whelp Selena chimes in. What? The dragon has a tracer spell on him. It's faint, but I can sense it. Look at the slight purple discoloration upon his ear. You look at Spike’s ear and you indeed do see magicky stuff on it. “Spike! You’ve got a tracker on you!” You exclaim, causing everyone to gasp and look at him, as he starts grasping at his ears in confusion. “Vice President Spike?! YOU'RE THE TRAITOR?! HOW COULD YOU?!” Octavia accuses. “NO! NO! I would never do that!" Spike pleads, "I PROMISE! I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM!” “I put it there of course!” Crazlight chimes in. “Twilight…Why?..” Spike asks in confusion and hurt as everypony looks at her frozen form. “I have to monitor EVERYTHING Spike to ensure the Disaster doesn't happen. You are part of everything, so yeah.” Crazlight says nonchalantly “How did you know this was going to be a Horde meeting though?” you ask. “Well…I actually didn't, I tracked Spike because he left the house instead of helping me, and I saw him entering a bar! A BAR! He is way too young for that!” “I’m only @* years younger than you!” he cries in outrage. “You are?!” both you and Tacky McStabFlank ask in genuine surprise, “Then why the heck do you look like you’re 8?” you continue, “Dragons live for like thousands of years man, I age slowly.” “Still too young for bars… so I gathered the girls to rescue you and stage an intervention, and who do we run into? YOU!" she says as she tries to point a frozen hoof at you, "Out of anypony in the world, it HAD to be YOU!" “Hey better him than ninjas right?” Lyra chimes in. “NO! It’s even worse, you are so grounded young stallion!” “You can’t ground me!” he shouts. “Yes I can, you are MY baby dragon and you will-” she starts before she is cut off by an outraged Spike. “YOU’RE NOT MY BUCKING MOTHER!!!” Everyone gasps at that as somepony (you couldn't tell who at the moment) whispers, "Quick! Somepony pass me some popcorn! This is getting spicy!" “Spikey-Wikey, such language!” Rarity admonishes. “Spike…” Twilight tries to say, “NO Twilight! I do everything for you. Everything! And this is how you repay me? You broke my trust with this whole tracker thing and I can hang out with whoever I bucking want! LEAVE THE OFFENDER ALONE!” Realizing what's happening you think, No... no, no, no, no, NO! I'm breaking up ANOTHER family! I'm not letting this happen! Thinking quickly you shout with the RCV, "THAT'S ENOUGH SPIKE! STAND DOWN AND GET OVER HERE!" Spike flinches slightly at your command, but he calms down a little bit before he backs away from the frozen ponies and over to you. You kneel down to his height, put your hoof on his shoulder, and whisper with a caring voice, "Look buddy, I appreciate you standing up for me, but you shouldn't have said that stuff to her. Sure she's an insane bossy perfectionlist, but she's your family and even if you two are on different sides, you should still stand by her and give her your support okay?" Spike gives a half nod before you say, "Trust me, you'll want to spend time with your family for as long as you can, cause..." Flashbacks to... that incident come to your mind before you say with a shaky voice, "C-cause you never know when they'll be gone, okay?" Spike gives you a confused look, but still nods his head. Before you can continue this talk, you hear Octavia say, "So...there isn't a spy?" HO turns to Octavia, and gives a loud sigh. "Octavia, there is no spy," he says. "Twilight was obviously lying and you are just taking everything way too seriously." "Oh," Octavia says, looking dejected. "Sorry, I-" HO pats her on the back of the neck. "It's OK, Octavia, don't worry about it. Just... think a bit less radical." She smiles as HO appears to have forgivin her, blushing a little. HO turns back around to see a beam of magic blast him in the face. You turn to Octavia, and give a loud sigh, "Octavia, there is no spy. Twilight was obviously lying and you're just taking everything way too seriously." "Oh," Octavia says, looking dejected. "Sorry, I-" You walk over and pat her on the back of the neck as you say, "It's OK, Octavia, don't worry about it. Just... think a bit less radical." She smiles and blushes at your touch when... *crack* "That doesn't sound go-" You mutter as you turn around only to get blasted in the face by magic. You shake your head to get rid of the spots in your eyes as you see that the Deadly five have thawed out! "Aha!" Twilight shouts. "Magic gone! Now this should be easy." "Oh, really?" HO shrieks. "Hit me while I'm lecturing my followers, sure." Twilight charges up a blast of magic, but activating his telekinesis plasmid, HO shouts, "Would you kindly STOP BUCKING INTERRUPTING ME!" before telekinetically pinning her to the floor. Twilight cries out in surprise. "But... your magic is-" "I ASKED YOU TO SHUT THE BUCK UP!" HO screeches, the intensity of his cry intimidating the rest of the deadly five back. "You blast through the roof of one of my follower's place of business for no reason other than to chase an innocent stallion that the princess has already forgiven! You accuse me of mass mind manipulation, something that even Chrysalis couldn't bucking do on the scale you claim, and something you yourself did not two weeks ago! And after I fought the God of Chaos to a draw for you traitorous witches. But you don't remember that. Why? Because of an obvious chaotic mind control spell! Are you telling me no one else saw Discord snap his fingers before he turned to stone? And instead of believing the obvious, you submit to a predictable mind game like a brainless sheep and make excuses for my obvious actions of good! And what was I doing? Oh, nothing but stopping a BUCKING WAR! BUCK YOU, YOU HYPOCRITICAL, EASILY-FOOLED, BOOK OBSESSED, PURPLE BRAINED FOAL!" "Aha!" Twilight declares, "With your magic disabled, this should be easy!" "Oh, really?" You snark, "Hit me while I'm lecturing my followers, sure..." Twilight charges up a blast of magic, but you activate the telekinesis plasmid and shout, "Would you kindly STOP BUCKING INTERRUPTING ME!" before telekinetically pinning her to the floor. As the other four prepare to charge you, Twilight cries out in surprise, "But... your magic is-" "I asked you TO SHUT THE BUCK UP!" You roar the last part in the RCV, the intensity of your cry intimidating the rest of the deadly five back as you start to rant, "Pardon if I repeat myself, but..." *snap* "You blast through one of my follower's place of business for no reason other than to chase an innocent stallion that the princess has already forgiven! You accuse me of mass mind manipulation, something that even Chrysalis couldn't bucking do on the scale you claim, and something you yourself did not two weeks ago! I even fought the God of Bucking Chaos for you traitorous witches, but nooooooo you don't remember that, Why?! Because of an obvious chaotic mind control spell! Are you telling me no one else saw Discord snap his fingers before he turned to stone? And instead of believing the obvious, you submit to a predictable mind game like a brainless sheep and make excuses for my obvious actions of good! And what was I doing? Oh, nothing but TRYING TO STOP A BUCKING WAR YOU HYPOCRITICAL, EASILY-FOOLED, BOOK-OBSESSED, MINDLESS, PURPLE-BRAINED FOAL!" Everyling stares at you in shocked silence as your words start to sink in, and you breath in and out to calm down as you think, Dang... it feels good to get all of that off my chest. Now maybe Sparklebutt will think straight and- SnapDrakeGames comment With a growl, Twilight pries herself out of your telekinetic grip and roars at you, "You are DEAD! All you've ever done is bring chaos and misery! You assaulted my friends, tried to take over Appleloosa, kidnapped several stallions with Diamond Dog minions, destroyed the gala, helped turn Ponyville into the Chaos Capital of the world!" She points to Fluttershy and Spike before she continues, "And you've even corrupted one of our own!" She cries as she leaps forward and pins you to the ground by your throat. "I swear, when I'm through with you-" "GET OFF OF HIM!!!" Octavia screams as she rushes forward and bucks Twilight in the face with both hooves sending the purple unicorn stumbling back. As the Deadly Five and Octavia prepare to charge each other you quickly get in front of Octavia and declare, "Would you kindly CHILL THE BUCK OUT!" activating the Ice plasmid and freezing the Deadly Five's hooves to the ground. Rarity and Twilight try to activate their magic, but you freezes their horns as well. *snap* "What that buck is with you!?"you roar in the RCV, eyes blazing orange, "I save three foals from a cockatrice, I save a town from an Ursa Minor, I stop a war in Appleoosa (a war that YOU STARTED by the way) I bucking sacrificed myself to save you witches at the Gala, I brought you back from Discord's spell, reunited you with your friends, and bucking fought the god of chaos half to death just to buy you a little time, and what was I doing tonight? STOPPING A BUCKING WAR!!! And the worst part..." You lumber jerkily up to a terrified-looking Twilight, "You know what the worst part is?" Twilight shuts her eyes, waiting for it to end. You dejectedly drop to the floor and sigh, "I can't even blame you..." "Huh?" everypony in the room says in confusion, "Sure, you followed me like a starved manticore after a chicken, and you wanted to kill me like one as well, and that's IS your own fault. But I forgave you and I thought you'd forgiven me too." Twilight looks at you in shock as the orange from your eyes fades, "If only you could remember..." You suddenly grab Twilight's face before shouting, "Come on, Crazlight, REMEMBER!!!" Fluttershy walks over to join her shocked friend and says, "It's true Twilight," she whispers. "Everything he said. Come on Twilight, I know you can remember!" "But... but... No! It's you! You're..." Twilight sputters. "Evil... mind control... evil... evil! You're evil!" she cries, a crazed look in her eyes- *smack* You slap Twilight across the face causing a gasp from everypony in the room. She pauses for a few moments before sighing. "Oh... oh my. What have I..." Suddenly a sharp laugh pierces the scene. "Ha, ha, ha!" Everypony in the room suddenly glows a bright golden and is frozen in time (Twilight's mouth and eyes glow golden as well) as the Deadly Five are floated into the air, breaking the ice. Twilight's mouth opens and she speaks, though her voice is a mixture of hers and that of the creature you have learned to hate... "My my, Mr. Offender," Twilight says. "Trying to clear your name so soon..." You growl a single word, "Discord..." "The one and only," Twi/Cord says. "You, you, YOU!" you roar. "Add an adjective and a noun and you got a sentence." Twi/Cord snarkily interrupts. "YOU! I was making progress until YOU came along. I had them liking me. I was the hero! YOU took that from me!" "Fair enough," Twi/Cord says. "Though I must say, pulling off that spell in a fraction of a second was no easy task, even for me." "H-How?" you as in shock, "You- you're supposed to be trapped in stone!" "I am," Twi/Cord replies. "This is just a magical recording I left behind should you ever break my spell." "...But you just answered my question," you point out. "It's a semi-sentient magical recording," Twi/Cord says. "Makes conversation like I would, but doesn't actually think for itself. But we're getting off topic here." Twi-Cord clears it's throat and explains, "I left this recording behind so it could renew my spell should anypony somehow manage to break it during your lifetime, but my my, I never expected it to be so soon. You've been busy, haven't you Hoody?" "Shut up!" you roar, "Leave me the buck alone! Get out of here and out of Twilight's head." "Aww. But what fun would that be?" Twi/Cord coos, but suddenly he twitches and the golden glowing eyes fade for a moment. "What's happening?" Twilight screams in her voice. "What's going on with my head?" Suddenly, the golden glow reclaims control. "Hmm. Impressive," Twi/Cord remarks. "It seems I will have to leave after all. My control is breaking so it's a good thing I've already renewed the spell that tricked them into thinking you were the villain." "But you just blabbed your plan in front of them like a cliched supervillain!" you say. Twi/Cord grins at you, "That's another fun feature this spell has, it freezes time and space so only you and I can have this talk. I think I'll just leave you to explain to these five why you slapped Twilight in the face, floated them into the air, and dropped them. Allons-y, Offender. I do hope you're still alive when I break out again. It'll be so much fun!" "BUCK YOU DISCORD! BUCK YOU WORLD! BUCK YOU LADY LUCK!" you start cursing, but with a flash of gold, the light retreats as the deadly five drop back to the ground, the golden glow gone. "Ugh," Twilight groans "What hap- YOU!" She leaps up when she sees HO. "What did you do to me? What did you do to my friends-" You're a little too busy to notice this as you're still ranting, eyes glowing orange and a bit of Nightmare cloak (like barely any, just dots of it) fly off you as you shout, "YOU HEAR ME DISCORD! IF I EVER GO TO CANTERLOT AGAIN, I'M GONNA TAKE A BUCKING SLEDGEHAMMER TO YOUR STATUE! AND IF YOU GET FREE THEN I'M GONNA RIP YOUR HEART OUT, HAVE THE QUACK PUT IT BACK IN, THEN I'M GONNA RIP YOU APART MOLECULE BY MOLECULE! THEN WHEN I PUT YOU BACK TOGETHER I'M GONNA TAKE THAT STUPID HAND OF YOURS AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR-" "AHEM!" You look over to Twilight who glares angrily at you as you snap, "WHAT!" Twilight huffs before she is about to say something when Spike says, "Twilight, now's not a good bucking time!" “Spike Dude, What’s the matter with you?” Rainbow admonishes, “Twilights like your family, you don’t say stuff like that to her! It’s wrong!” “OH like YOU have any right to say that to him,” Applejack growls at Rainbow. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Rainbow replies angrily. “Nothing that you would understand Ms. LOYALTY, ha, what a joke.” “OK, you’ve been insulting me all day, the heck is wrong with you?! Why are you doing this?” “You know dang well why you stallion stealing hussy!” Everyone just looks at that outburst and gasps, while Thunderlane, Lyra, and Vinyl all shout “Oooooohhhhh…Burn!” “Really?! REALLY?! This is what this is about?” “He was mine and you stole him away!” “I didn’t see your name on him you Hick!” she gets in AJ’s face. “I told you I liked him you back stabbing Filly Fooler!” “Oh Filly Fooler huh? I bet he begs to differ!” “Ummm…do you two need a few minutes or something?” you ask not really sure where this is going as everyone watches the spectacle. “Shut yer dang mouth you varmit! This ain’t got nothing to do with you, this is between me and this poor excuse of a friend!” AJ replies, not even looking at you “Oh you wanna go? YOU WANNA BUCKING GO?!” Rainbow shouts putting her forehead hard against AJ’s. “OH I already went there!” AJ replies and then they start fighting. You and everyone else are just shocked as these two start having a catfight, they even somehow end up in a small pool of mud…when did that get there? You watch them do WWE type wrestling moves as the mud coats their bodies, making their manes wet and bringing out their curves more…You are enthralled “Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Stop it!” Twilight screams, but they ignore her. Fluttershy and the others try stopping the fight, but you hold them back. “Let them fight…” you say cryptically. “But we have to stop them before they are seriously hur…” Fluttershy starts. “Let them Fight.” “But they’re best friends, Friends shouldn’t fight like this!” Pinkie says with tears in her eyes. “LET THEM FIGHT!” “You’re getting aroused by this aren’t you?” Vinyl knowingly states. “Eh he he,” you stutter nervously while putting your leg behind your head, “Let them fight?” “Yes! For all that is good and holy, let them finish!” a frantic looking Thunderlane blurts out. While AJ and Dash fight, and Pinkie and Rarity try to stop them, Twilight just blinks her one non eyepatched eye and then grows angry as she looks at you. “You’ve turned Spike against me…” anger seeps from her voice. Fluttershy tries to defuse the situation. “Twilight, Girls, Everypony…let’s just talk about this OK?…” “Fluttershy has betrayed us for you…” She says more angrily. “The Buck you say? I didn’t…” A screech rolls out from the mud pit. “You fat flanked skank, that was my injured wing!” Rainbow Roars “Oh My Bad, let me even it out and break your other one!” AJ screams. “Spike Dude, What’s the matter with you?” Rainbow admonishes, “Twilights like your family, you don’t say stuff like that to her! It’s wrong!” “OH like YOU have any right to say that to him,” Applejack growls at Rainbow. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Rainbow replies angrily. “Nothing that you would understand Ms. LOYALTY, ha, what a joke.” “OK, you've been insulting me all day, the heck is wrong with you?! Why are you doing this?” “You know dang well why you stallion stealing hussy!” Everyone just looks at that outburst and gasps, while Thunderlane, Lyra, and Vinyl all shout, “Oooooohhhhh… Burn!” “Really?! REALLY?! This is what this is about?” “He was mine and ya stole him!” “I didn't see your name on him you Hick!” Rainbow says as she gets in AJ's face. “I told you I liked him you back stabbing Fillyfooler!” “Oh Fillyfooler huh? I bet he begs to differ!” “Ummm…do you two need a few minutes or something?” you ask not really sure where this is going as everyone watches the spectacle. “Shut yer dang mouth you varmint! This ain't got nothing to do with you, this is between me and this poor excuse of a friend!” AJ replies, not even looking at you, “Oh you wanna go? YOU WANNA BUCKING GO?!” Rainbow shouts putting her forehead hard against AJ's. “OH I already went there!” AJ replies and then they start fighting. You and everyone else are just shocked as these two start having a catfight, they even somehow end up in a small pool of mud (when did that get there?). You watch them do pro-wrestling type moves and holds against each other as the mud coats their bodies, making their manes wet and bringing out their curves more as their bodies rub against each ot- *spurt* NO! BAD BUG! This is good... Wait, you're into mares? you think in confusion. Not that pervert. Although I AM the goddess of the night so ALL creatures of all genders are below me and thus potential concubines when I take over and those two look well-built enough to qualify for my prime harem. But what I mean is that while they're fighting each other, they won't oppose us. “Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Stop it!” Twilight screams, but they ignore her. Fluttershy and the others try stopping the fight, but you hold them back, “Let them fight…” you say cryptically. “But we have to stop them before they are seriously hur-” Fluttershy starts. “Let them Fight.” “But they’re best friends, friends shouldn't fight like this!” Pinkie says with tears in her eyes. “LET THEM FIGHT!” “You’re getting aroused by this aren’t you?” Vinyl knowingly states. “Eh he he,” you stutter nervously while putting your leg behind your head, “Let them fight?” “Yes! For all that is good and holy, let them finish!” a frantic looking Thunderlane blurts out. "Stallions..." most of the mares in the room comment with a roll of their eyes. While AJ and Dash fight, and Pinkie and Rarity try to stop them, Twilight just blinks her one non eyepatched eye and then grows angry as she looks at you, “You've turned Spike against me…” anger seeps from her voice. Fluttershy tries to defuse the situation, “Twilight, Girls, Everypony…let’s just talk about this OK?…” “Fluttershy has betrayed us for you…” She says more angrily. “The Buck you say? I didn't…” A screech rolls out from the mud pit, “You fat-flank hick, that was my injured wing!” Rainbow roars “Oh mah bad, let me even it out and break your other one!” Applejack screams. You growl in annoyance as you think, Ok, this may be SUPER hot, but couples should be hugging not fighting... Plus the only thing hotter than two athletic mares wrestling in mud is them having a full-blown make-ou- NO! BAD BUG!!! *SPURT* After you wipe some of the noseblood off... "I've... Had... ENOUGH!" you yell as you stamp your hooves on the ground, waves of force rolling out and pinning everyone to the walls, oddly enough leaving Fluttershy where she was. Your eyes glowing orange, you sweep your eyes around the room,everyone too shocked to react, "I've had enough of all your prejudice! Enough of all of this! You don't quite understand what you are getting yourself into, I am trying to stop a luna-damned war!" You turn to Twilight as her horn begins to glow. She teleports out of the waves of force towards you. "Would you kindly FREEZE and listen to me for once!" you scream, using your freeze plasmid to freeze Twilight's hooves. The force you had on the others dissipates, dropping them all to the floor, "I have done nothing but try to help ponies! I've made mistakes, but they are just that, mistakes! You, however, don't seem to care much for that! You only see me as an enemy!" "Done nothing but help ponies? You destroyed the gala!" Rarity interrupts, her own horn glowing. "I was not myself at that moment! Besides, I stopped the roof from crushing everypony!" *snap* "ENOUGH!" you yell as you grab the staff out of the Inventory and slam it onto the floor, the wave surging forward and knocking the Deadly Five against the wall. You sweep your glowing orange eyes around the room, everypony too shocked to react, "I've had enough of all your prejudice! Enough of all of this! You don't quite understand what you are getting yourself into, I am trying to stop a luna-stinking war!" Twilight recovers first and charges at you. "Would you kindly FREEZE and listen to me for once!" you scream, using your freeze plasmid to freeze Twilight's hooves as you continue, "I have done nothing but try to help ponies! I've made mistakes, but they are just that, mistakes! You, however, don't seem to care much for that! You only see me as an enemy!" "Done nothing but help ponies? You destroyed the gala!" Rarity interrupts, "Should we do something? I feel weird just standing around like a side character as our leader and the Elements argue." Lyra comments "No, just let them handle it." Bon Bon replies. "I was not myself at that moment!" you continue, "Besides, I stopped the roof from crushing everypon-" "Get offa me!" "What? I'm just showing you where I'll be with Tennant tonight!" *spurt* As your nose bleeds, you all turn to see that Applejack and Rainbow Dash are still fighting in mud, but now the FIllyfooler has the Hick in a rear headlock. After a reversal, Applejack is now mounting Rainbow Dash and raining down punches, "It's called 'cowfilly position' for a reason! But of course you wouldn't know that ya Fillyfooler!" *spurt* If this keeps up, you're going to die of blood loss. Selena points out. Agreed, though I don't know if I should be aroused or terrified... Maybe I settled for terrified arous- Save it for marriage, save it for marriage- "Sweet Celestia!" Thunderlane comments in obvious arousal marked by his wings popped out and pulsing, "Playcolt doesn't even begin to compare to th-*smack*" "Heel..." Octavia admonishes as she smacks Thunderlane upside the head. Twilight then grits her teeth in anger as she says, BrownDog's comment Additional dialogue: "Aww yeah! Barfight!" Vinyl declares happily and smashes a bottle of Jack Spaniels over the nearest pony's head. "OW! Vinyl that was me!" Octavia snaps at her. "Yeah, I know." Vinyl shrugs back with an innocent smile. “Our Friendship is once more fractured by you…” “Hey, I helped you fix that once before when that Chaotic nutjob messed up your mind!" you defend, "And I don’t have anything to do with their lover’s quarre-” “SHUT UP BUG!” Rainbow Dash and Applejack yell from the pit. “Your revolution will cause the disaster next Tuesday Morning…” Crazlight continues. “Hey Hey now, I don’t support that at all I swear! That’s exactly what we were just talking about before-” “You have to die…” Twilight interrupts nonchalantly. “I’m sorry, WHAT?!” “If you die now… THEN EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL! EVERYTHING!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” she says in the most insane way possible, causing everyone to stop and look at her (even the mud-covered wrestlers stop, much to Thunderlane's disappointment) Without warning, she jumps on you and begins choking you (she's a lot stronger when she's insane), but everypony yanks you two apart. “The Buck Mare! I never tried to kill you before… on purpose anyway!” you cough as Octavia and Fluttershy slap your back, “Twilight, we can’t just kill him!” Rarity says as she holds a struggling Twilight back, “Yeah, are you loco in the coco?” Pinkie adds in as she holds both Applejack and Rainbow Dash in headlocks. “I HAVE TO STOP THE DISASTER! ALL OF EXISTENCE IS COUNTING ON ME!!!” she laments causing everyone to finally see just how much sanity has slipped from her. “Oh Buck this!” You scream as you reach into your potion sash and throw down a smoke/stink bomb (2 Smoke/Stink bombs remain). “Members of the Horde…COVER YOUR NOSES AND RUN AWAY!” you shout as you bravely flee, leading the members up and into the bar… straight into a squad of guards who have Berry and Bulk in hoofcuffs. “Stop right there criminal scum! You violated the law!” a generic sounding one shouts as the Deadly Five (including a still-frequently-shoulder-punching-each-other Rainbow Dash and Applejack) come up the stairs. “YOU’LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE!!!” shouts Raven, surprising you all as she runs forward and smashes a guard in the head with a bottle. As everypony looks at her in shock, she shrugs and says, "What? A mare's gotta unwind at night if she wants to look professional in the day." "Seize her for assault on a Guard!" on of them declares causing them to all rush at her... "NO SHADOW KICK!" you declare as you jump at the guards and hit them with a flurry of kicks along their faces. The Deadly Five rush at you, but they're intercepted by the Horde members rushing them and soon a full-blown melee starts. "Aww yeah! Barfight!" Vinyl declares happily and smashes a bottle of Jack Spaniels over the nearest pony's head. "OW! Vinyl that was me!" Octavia snaps at her. "Yeah, I know." Vinyl shrugs back with an innocent smile. As you look at the melee going on (among the highlights; Octavia and Rarity are in a karate-fight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are wrestling in mud again *spurt* and Thunderlane is hiding in a corner with a beer watching the two) around you, you realize that this bar fight is quickly getting too out of hoof, you take drastic measures... Eventually you whip out the Plushie and use the RCV “HORDE MEMBERS, SHIELD YOUR EYES!” The guards and the deadly 6 look at you and fall asleep, unfortunately Thunderlane, Bon Bon, and Vinyl all looked and got knocked out too. You then have everyone book it out of there, making it look like the guards had a drunken brawl, or at least that’s what Berry will tell them. And tell them you will put a stop to the Fillydelphia uprising. Use Knock-Out Luna Plushie and when everypony is unconscious move their bodies around so when they wake up, they merely think they drank too much at Berry Punch's bar and got into a bar brawl (and since you're a prankster, put a few of them in hilarious positions like have Applejack and Rainbow Dash lay with each other in hopes that the fillyfoolers will be with each other instead of after you, put a lampshade on Rarity's head, surround Twilight with empty beer bottles, etc.), However, leave behind a note for Fluttershy saying that the meeting did happen and then put Spike outside of the bar and leave him a note that says something like this, Spike, the meeting DID happen, but Twilight crashed it. Fortunately, I managed to knock everypony out and arranged things so that they'll look like they merely had too much to drink and got into a brawl. I need you to complete the illusion by rushing in and going to Twilight and waking her up with some story about how Twilight just ran out ranting about something and you searched all over town for her. I know your angry at Twilight, but please don't be mad at her. I have faith in you. Sincerely The Hooded Offender Next, gently shake him awake and leave before he sees you. You reach into the Inventory as you spin to dodge a pegasus guard flying at you (thank you DODGE training) who smashes headfirst into a stool swung by Lyra. "I'm adding that to your tab!" Berry comments. "Bon Bon will pick it up!" "I told you to stop doing that!" Bon Bon says as she holds on to a flailing Guard's back. You then whip out the Knock-out Luna Plushie and declare, "GOODNIGHT EVERYLING!!!" This gets everypony's attention as they see the plushie and get knocked out by it's adorable perfection and fall where they are. Okay. Time to get to work... NEAR THE FARM You're now approaching your shed as you just set everything up at the bar to make it look like a drunken bar brawl. Among your set ups, -Changed back into your "Doctor Outfit" -Twilight is surrounded by empty beer bottles with a lampshade on her head -In hopes of getting the Fillyfoolers together so they'll be too busy to bother you, you put Applejack and Rainbow Dash in a mud pool with a sign that says, "Free Muddy Make-Outs!" -Pinkie is put into a pile of sleep pills with a sign reading "Too much sugar will lead to this" -Rarity's mane is messed up, orange dye poured on it, and she is put in the dirtiest corner of the bar -Thunderlane is put into a middle of all the mare Horde members with a sign reading "I scored big tonight!" -Put Fluttershy in the "Desginated Flyer" corner with a note for her hidden beneath her wing which reads, Dear Fluttershy, Bugze here. The meeting did happen. Everything you saw happened. Besides the mud pit, that never happened. Don't ask me how I know you thought of it, just accept it. I'm off to Fillydelphia to stop Flag Burner. Do. Not. Follow. I don't want you or the other members getting hurt, so please stay in Ponyville. And please take care of Nightshade for me will ya! Thanks, "Hoody" -Left behind one of your calling cards. -And finally to complete the illusion, you put Spike just outside the bar door with a letter that reads, Spike, the meeting DID happen, but Twilight crashed it. Fortunately, I managed to knock everypony out and arranged things so that they'll look like they merely had too much to drink and got into a brawl. I need you to complete the illusion by rushing in and going to Twilight and waking her up with some story about how Twilight just ran out ranting about something and you searched all over town for her. I know your angry at Twilight, but please don't be mad at her. She's lost, but she'll find her way... hopefully. I have faith in you. Sincerely, The Hooded Offender And then gently shook him to wake him up and left before he could open his eyes. As you enter your shed... Selena speaks up, unsure of this course of action “Are you sure it’s wise not to take her with us?” “We’re going to a new town and more than likely will end up smashing the place…I don’t want to chance it.” “It never stopped you before.” “Before she hardly ever left her room, and slept for days on end. She’s got more energy now, and I don’t want her wandering off when anything can happen. This is for the best.” You leave the shack and mumble “Still wonder why she doesn’t sleep as much as she used to.” “I may have an answer to that…” “You do? OK, tell me on the train then. Go back to your shed, pick up a sleeping Nightshade, write and leave behind a note for the Apples in your shed claming that you have... "business" in Fillydelphia. Go to train station and buy a ticket to Fillydelphia (40 Bits remaining) Are you sure it is wise not to take her with us? Selena asks in concern. “We’re going to a new town and more than likely will end up smashing the place…I don’t want to chance it.” you say as you lovingly rub Nightshade's sleeping head and pick up a pen and paper. It never stopped you before. “Before she hardly ever left her room, and slept for days on end. She’s got more energy now, and I don’t want her wandering off when anything can happen." you reply as you write down a note. "Trust me, this is for the best...” You leave the shack and mumble, “Still wonder why she doesn't sleep as much as she used to.” I may have an answer to that… “You do? OK, tell me on the train then." you reply as you put the note on the door (the note says:). Dear Apples, Tennant here. Due to recent family troubles in Fillydelphia, I'll need to leave for a few days. I should be back soon, but I don't know exactly when. See you all when I get back. And watch Nightshade for me! Thanks, Baker Sylvester Tennant As you walk to the train station, you don't notice that you pass by the now bruised and battered Deadly Five and Fluttershy (who's desperately trying to get everypony to get along). Twilight has a lampshade on her head and claims the Horde did it, Rainbow and Applejack keep fighting over "Tennant" and are covered in mud, Rarity is twitching and holds her now-orange hair in sadness and horror while mumbling 'orange, why'd it have to be orange'. Pinkie has a bunch of sleeping pills in her mane and she is noticeably more tired looking, but they all stop and look at you in confusion as they hear you say out loud (you're talking to Selena). "Yeah I know they won't remember what happened because they were KO'D. But that doesn't mean the guilt of what happen will disappear like that as well." You stop talking to listen to what Selena had to say, while Fluttershy and the Deadly Five look at you in confusion. Suddenly a look of anger comes across your face as you say, "You think I don't bucking know that! They were already trying to kill each other before they got to the bar from what I could tell, so that means they've been going at this for awhile, Which further means I ruined their friendship!" You stop talking, allowing Selena to speak. The Deadly five look at you in shock at the whole "ruined a friendship" thing. Fluttershy and Twilight get somber looks on their faces as they figured out what your talking about, but their looks turn into horror as you get a morbid expression as you say, "Look, it doesn't matter. I'm ending it no matter what. When I get to Fillydelphia and take care of that, I'm ending it. Baker Sylvester Tennant will be gone! I'm gonna make sure that nopony will have to deal with me anymore..." They look at you in horror (not that you know they can hear you or see you) at the way you said it implies, but you suddenly stop for a second before shouting (causing them to jump from their hiding place), "WELL WHAT THE BUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO! I somehow ruined Rainbow and Applejack's whole friendship, I made Pinkie seem like some sort of psycho (which she is technically) to the whole town, I made Twilight look like a psycho and made her freak out over nothing, and when I last saw Spike and Fluttershy when they were unconscious, they where bucking crying in their sleep! SO NO MATTER WHAT I DO I MAKE THINGS WORSE! SO I'M GONNA END IT BEFORE IT GETS EVEN MORE WORSE!" And with that you walk into the train station and buy a ticket (45 Bits remaining), but you don't notice a group of mares watching you enter the train... ON THE TRAIN You sigh in sadness as you ride the train to Fillydelphia. You know by the time you finish there, the Hooded Offender will get blamed for whatever Flag Burner and his crazy cult have planned. Your eyes harden as you think, Doesn't matter. Even if the Offender does get blamed, I would have stopped whatever this nut job has planed and saved Luna-knows how many ponies. Now as long as nothing unexpected happens on the way there I'll be fine, although Luna knows the history of me and trains have never been go- Suddenly a violet light flashes in front of you, causing you to grab your eyes in pain. When the flash dies down, you see... The Deadly 6?! I was asking for it huh? Outro: What do you do?
