//------------------------------// // "Hidden Dragon" is retired (Announcement). // Story: Hooves of Fury Part 1 // by Lock Target //------------------------------// Hi, everypony. After three years of nothing after the previous chapter, I must regretfully end the adventure here for "Hidden Dragon" for like the original version of MLH, this got a little out of hoof. So, as I DID for MLH Ver. 1.0, I'll tell you what would've transpired. Just hop on my magic cart and we'll find out: Why come only one girl? First, here's the unfinished 8th chapter: Raging River, Ms. Canter-Clash and Jawbreaker arrive at T.'s location. They enter the room standing before T. "Have you taken care of the other combatants?" T. asked. "Si" Jawbreaker answered, "Everything is eset for the rest of the plan" "And Shadow Hoof?" "He is watingu in the Everfree Forest" Raging River reported. "Excellent...And is the arena in Las Pegasus ready?" Ms. Canter-Clash nods and gets a migrain. T. uses a spell on her. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" cried Apple Bloom tied up within the light of the crystal ball. She struggles to get free. "Struggle all you want" scoffed T, "But you, my little pony are the only thing motivating her" "You're twisted! Didn't you learn your lesson the last time!?" "The original target was Twilight, but not everypony is dealt a perfect hoof" "What do you hope to gain from all of this?" asked a mysterious mare inside a green, glowing cylinder. "Revenge" T. replied as her eyes glowed ruby red "Revenge for so long ago!" The lights come on to reveal...Aw nuts, AB already gave it away! "Twilight Sparkle's grandfather was a former adversary of mine. I intended to send a message to him by doing her in, but fate has chosen another in her place" "...What?" asked Apple Bloom. "Never you mind!" Trixie shouted as her eyes go back to normal. "I'm pretty sure it'll be explained in Part 2"...Uh, Pinkie, you're at the wrong end of the story..."Huh...? Oh, right!"...Okie-dokie-lokie then, let's- "WAIT, I"M NOT READY YET!" Mmmmph... Well, while she's getting ready, let's just- "Alright, acion!" You have to wait now. "...What just happened?" Uh...Look, Flim and Flam are on the crystal ball! "Is everything set on your end?" Trixie asked. "Why, certainly" Flam said showing a giant crossbow behind him with Flim at the ready to fire it. "Excellent" Trixie said rubbing her hooves together, "When they get in position, shoot them down!" Unfinished, see? In all seriousness, it would have gone on where Trixie was still sore about here humiliating defeat at Twilight's hooves. Now setting her sights on Fluttershy, she tries to get every opponent still in the tournament to take her down a la Street Fighter. But, she manages to make her way through every challenge befallen to her. During this process there would be several locations of Equestria. Some from the show, others I've cooked up. At one point, it would be revealed that "Ms. Canter-Clash" was Derpy who reveals Trixie's plans to our heroes and that the MC of the tournament is the guy Fluttershy beat up for trying to take her Taxi ride when she followed Iron Will's advice. A few more events ensue as the true villain is revealed and dealt with by her connection with the remainder of the Mane 6. I was trying to keep up with continuity of the show's canon (Big mistake), so I guess I kinda forgot about it over time. But, I will not let this one go out with a whimper (No pun intended). Here's the epilogue and credits I just submitted. I thank you for reading as well. Bye now! Bye now, see?
