This story is a sequel to Tools
Reading "Tools" first strongly advised, as the story contains spoilers.
It's been three years since Toolsmith was caught. Physical and mental wounds were healed, and Equestria seems to come back to normal. Twilight works as a librarian, Rainbow Dash becomes a Wonderbolt, and Vinyl Scratch gets mugged in Detrot by a suspiciously familiar-looking mare... who looks for the new victims.
Proofread wonderfully by The11thWonder
Chapter titles are Metallica song titles?
Now I have to read this...
Lol, only just got round to reading this
He must have really bad digestive problems

Or Scootaloo's grandparents have a weird sense of humour...
3441623 probably both lol
3443807
Might be - after all, their other son is called Rainy Water, which is, I'd say, moderately normal name for a pegasus.
Not to mention that in the first part Scootaloo ran away from a meeting with them. Maybe their jokes were too much for her liking...
3443866 i think we're on to something here!
Im gonna guess Trixie was drugged and killed Apple
Also where's Dash? Wasn't she on the airship? I forgot where she went in the last chapter
3457188
She is still in a hospital after her attempt to catch Vinyl (drinking game idea: take a shot every time somepony ends up in a hospital, or when the action takes place there - I think it's a side effect of my studies)
And I can neither confirm, nor deny that theory
Still guessing Trixie
God damn, cliffhanger!!
Also ive been watching Deathnote so im kinda thinking too far into this plot.
What if Twilight is the tool??
....i dont remember giving you that idea
Dear God....

Few comments earlier, when we discussed Scootaloo's father's name. For some reason, I later came up with ex-hippies...
This was a nice (if a bit gruesome) read If you do decide to make it a trilogy, I'd love to read it

So far I don't have plans to make a trilogy, but I'm currently writing a similar story, which will be published soon.
4550855 Sweet, what's it called so I can look out for it?
4550921
Its name is "Sleepless" and I'm currently looking for prereaders/proofreaders for it
4550953 subtle hint but I'm afraid I don't have the time right now I'm sure someone out there will help
4553986
Too bad. I guess I'll soon post the link to the first chapter in gdocs and hope for the best...
Sir Samey, I didn't really imagine you to be a Metallica fan.
Also, this sequel also gave me, yet again, another fanfiction idea.

Generally, my musical writing fuels are usually Metallica, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and, occasionally, Tom Waits. For example, while writing my newest story, I usually listen to Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Enter Sandman and Nick Cave's albums Henry's Dreams and Murder Ballads. From time to time I listen to something completely weird, like Deine Lakaien or Einsturzende Neubauten (their music is similar to their name...)
And while writing comedy, I listen to The Offspring, Distemper or Die Arzte. Which shows...
I wonder what is that idea...
4645795
I don't really have anything specific I listen to artist-wise, just stuff from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, usually straight from an old radio I have. For me, music fuels ideas (many of them of inspired by Van Halen songs), but music is usually too distracting for me write.
Oh, and...
4645872
It seems that I subconsciously associate Rarity with such toys – there's a similar fragment in First Bat's Problems:
Or maybe all my stories take place in the same universe...
4645885
Honestly, amongst the six of them, I see Dash and Rarity the most likely to have one. Fluttershy would be too embarrassed, Twi would use some weird magic, Applejack is a bit too old-fashioned, and I can only imagine what kind of stuff happens at one of Pinkie's parties...especially the private ones....
4645911
Pinkie's parties must be very interesting... I guess for Dash it's an element of exercise... Applejack is probably too busy working... About Twi and Rarity, I recently wrote such thing:
Though actually it was about Trixie...
4645937
I've read quite a few fics that imply Trixie to be some sort of traveling call girl in addition to being a traveling showmare.
4645947
Well, in the story about her I'm currently writing, she's actually among the least perverted characters. But it's relative, since the cast include Vinyl Scratch (I have a tendency to write her as pansexual and quite open about her private life), Minuette (storry narrator with a dirty mind) and Flitter and Cloudchaser as a BDSM incest couple (don't ask).
4646145 I don't have to. I've read it, and it's freaking hilarious.
4666691
Thanks Btw, I have to finish the next chapter...
4666718
Although, I have noticed something. Of your stories, I've read four of them ("A Kingdom Divided", "Tools" and its sequel, and "Way to Go, Minuette, Way to Go") and I've noticed that you use Flitter, Cloudchaser, and Vinyl a lot. Vinyl, I can understand, since she probably reminds you a lot of your sister, but why Flitter and Cloudchaser?
4666819
I like Cloudchaser's mane About Flitter, I really liked her in 500 Little Murders. That's probably the reason why she's always the weird one (in some of my stories it's an understatement...)
Also, for them being my favourite ponies, they suffer a lot. Especially Vinyl (but there's an explanation: I simply don't write about ponies I don't like).
4666878
Honestly, whether I like them or not doesn't really matter. I absolutely hate Rarity (mainly because reminds me too much of someone I went to school with), and yet, I have some story ideas concerning her that I will write.
And when it comes to their manes, I like Flitter's much better, but it may be because I have some weird thing about hair bows.
4666921
Rarity is fun to write And I generally have a weird thing about manes...
4666949
Like how?
4666955
I kinda have a hair fetish, so I pay much attention to manes...
4667505
Ooooooohhh...
I like socks.
4667530
Socks are cool too

It's eight words from what I counted

Corrected.

So far I think your stories take place in two different universes, this one and the minuette/awkward nurse one but you can always cross them over and turn this series into a trilogy by making both of these epilogues canon

Dunno, I haven't written anything in these verses in a while.

Never say never
