"Ah man, you awoke up my daughter"
Luna struggles with conflicting feelings of confusion and Righteous Anger.
*twitch*You begin to twitch at just how much this sucks. You were hoping that Nightshade would stay asleep though all this chaos. You really didn't want to have to explain to Cadance that you have a filly who lives in your bag and thinks she's your daughter. Well... at least not at first. Maybe in the middle of explaining what's been happening to you, then you would explain the whole 'daughter' thing. You just sigh and look over to Luna and say
"Ah man, you awoke up my daughter."
You don't know why you said that, but it just felt like that response was called for. Luna expression appears to be struggling with conflicting feelings of confusion and righteous anger. Cadance looks like she might faint and the husband looks surprised as well. As for Celestia... her face is still blank. You seriously start to think you broke her! Nightshade giggles besides you and says
"*giggle* They're making really funny faces daddy!"
She then starts to make faces too, one being a... duck face? You chuckle at her silliness and decide to take advantage of Luna and the husband's confusion and shock to escape. You look down to Nightshade and are about to tell her to jump on your back when...
Derpy drops a piano on you. "Sorry." she says.
*smash* A piano falls right on top of you! Luckily, the piano didn't fall on your whole body. Unluckily for you it landed on the lower half of your body, pinning you down from your shoulders down. Your vision is a little hazy, but you hear Nightshade and Cadance call out "Daddy!" "Bugze!". Your vision finally turns back to normal and you see your grey pegasus friend from Ponyville looking at you worried.
"Sorry, I just don't know what went wrong. Are you okay new friend?" She asks you in a worried tone.
You would have wondered how she knew it was you, but you are in too much pain to really care at the moment.
"I'm fine (my spleen...)." you tell her so that she doesn't worry anymore. "Oh, I never told you my name and I never got yours."
"My name's Derpy."
"I'm Bugze (think I re-broke some ribs...)."
Before you can ask her for help, her eyes suddenly go up in shock and she says "Don't worry Bugze, I know just the stallion that can help you!" And with that the gray pegasus flies out of sight. Before you could wonder what she means by that, you hear Nightshade yell "Let me go!" and you quickly try to angle your head to where you heard her scream come from and you see...
The royal alicorns (and Shining) get into an discussion/argument on what to do with the potential reincarnation of Nightmare Moon in front of you and her (Luna being the most hostile (Luna would most likely NOT be on good terms with a mini-version of her evil half) and Cadance being the most on-your-side-y; vouching for Bugze and commenting on how cute Nightshade is). During their argument, one of them says/does something which scares Nightshade.
A huge debate going on. You can't exactly hear them, but from the looks of it the princesses, Cadance, and her husband are arguing about Nightshade. The pony holding Nightshade in a magical levitation grasp appears to be princess Celestia. Luna keeps on pointing at Nightshade with a look of pure hatred. Cadance on the other hoof shakes her head 'no' and says something that causes the still struggling Nightshade to blush. Her husband then says something that causes Luna to shake her head 'yes'. Cadance expression changes to pure disgust and she looks between her husband and Luna in pure horror. Celestia just looks over to you in... sympathy? Of all the ponies here, why is she looking at the one enchanted coat wearing changeling with sympathy? You think to yourself confused. Then Luna says something in the RCV that makes your blood run cold...
"I SUGGEST THE GALLOWS!"
Your daddy instinct kicks in and you quickly and protectively get in front of the frightened filly in response and proclaim: "Hey! She's sorta-kinda MY daughter, and if you even think about harming a single hair on her confused adorable little mane you'll have to go. Through! ME!!!" (the last part is yelled in the RCV with such force that it actually knocks down all the nearby Royal Guards and even forces Celestia, Luna, Shining (and possibly Cadance) back a step or few).
*snap*Something deep inside you snaps when you hear that. You don't care what the others expressions are. You don't care if this is the princess you made a vow to. You don't care that she's basically a goddess who can control the bucking moon. Upon seeing the terrified look on Nightshade's face, your daddy instinct kicks in, you teleport right into the center of the group, and shoulder-shove Celestia away from Nightshade, breaking the solar monarch's magical concentration. You catch the frightened filly, teleport the both of you away from the group, and protectively put her behind you. You don't know why, but when you looked back at the group... they all flinched. You would have wondered why if you weren't so furious at the moment, You then tell them...
"Hey! She's sorta-kinda MY daughter, and if you even THINK about harming a single hair on her confused, adorable, little mane you'll have to go. Through! ME!!!"
You roar the last part in the RCV with so much force that it actually knocks over and lightly scatters all the nearby Royal Guards and even forces Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and her husband to take a few steps backwards. They all look at you in shock, but that last for only a few minutes as Luna screams...
"What."
It is no question, but a statement.
"What?!?"
Luna jumps back, fear taking hold of her eyes.
The RCV kicks in.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????"
"What."
It is no question, but a statement.
"What?!?"
Luna jumps back, fear taking hold of her eyes.
The RCV kicks in.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT????!!!!!!"
Her fear quickly turns into pure rage and she begins to charge up a beam from her horn as she yells in the RCV...
"Thy terms art acceptable!" and charges up a big attack.
"THY TERMS ART ACCEPTABLE!"
Thinking quickly, you pick up Nightshade, tell her "Nightshade! Back to bed!" and shove the filly back into The Inventory before she can protest. You hope The Inventory will survive the blast, cause you know you won't. You close your eyes as you brace yourself and think So this is how it ends huh. Well at least I'll go out in a bang. But suddenly, you hear this behind you and you look behind you in surprise to see...
But then a familiar blue phone box appears
The stinking TARDIS! The door opens and you see...Derpy? She screams at you "What are you waiting for, run Bugze!" You heed her advice and you begin to run for the TARDIS as Luna fires a massive magic death beam at you. You make into the TARDIS just before Luna's death beam could hit you. Sadly you accidentally slam headfirst into the control panel, so all you see is darkness and the last thing you hear is "WHAT!"
SOMETIME LATER
"Huh...what... Anyling get the licences plate of the chariot that hit me?" You say to yourself as you come back to the world of the living. You finally get up and look around as to where you are, and you see that...your in the forest...again. *twitch* Your anger hits it's boiling point and you can't help but scream to the heavens...
You decide to verbally express your anger.
"BUCK YOU, LADY LUCK!" you scream.
"BUCK YOU, LADY LLLLLUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!"
What do you do?
You immediately check up on Nightshade and find her sleeping with a two pieces of paper. One sheet is a crayon drawing of you and her with the words "Daddy the Hero" (DAWWWWW) and the other is a note. You take the note and it says... (I'll let you and the rest of the Hive Mind fill out this part, but I will add:) Derpy and the Doctor fed Nightshade, but comment on how she has one hay of an appetite as she consumed:
A large bowl of custard
7 packs of fish fingers
9 bottles of ginger beer (don't worry Bugze, it's not alcoholic, it's a different kind of ginger ale)
A dozen bags of jelly babies
Two dozen bananas
and referred to all that as "a snack" (she also does NOT like yogurt, bacon, or beans).
While reading this note, you don't see where you're going and fall into a mud puddle which turns your black coat brown making it a browncoat and you suddenly feel the need to say "Gorram" instead of "Goddamn" and "Shiny" instead of "Cool" (any fellow browncoat bronies now have opportunities to put in Firefly and Serenity references, you're welcome).
Whenever anypony asks why you wear a coat, you reply that you "have a condition" (you don't like having to lie frequently as one cliche you always hated in movies is "the liar revealed" where the lies are exposed, everypony hates the hero for lying, and the story becomes gloomy, and whiny, and mopey- Dear LUNA-I mean CELESTIA, you HATE that gorram cliche!)
You go into the nearby town and you find the front page of a newspaper reads that Nightmare Moon has been reincarnated and is under the protection of a "faceless, tactless, fearsome, beastly guardian in a black coat with glowing orange eyes that tore through several squads of Royal Guards" (typical mass media, always exaggerating everything, but the "glowing orange eyes" during your Big Daddy moment probably explains why they flinched). The newspapers are inconsistent in what they label the creature as one newspaper calls it "The Cloaked Whirlwind", another names it "The Ebony Phantom", another dubs it "The Obsidian Storm", and so on (running gag idea: various characters have different names for Bugze's black cloaked alter ego)
It suddenly dawns on you that you just stood up to (and probably angered) the ruling circle (or square in this case) of Equestria! (To keep continuity, the royals don't know that the hooded figure is a changeling and even Princess Cadance now highly doubts that the black-hooded figure was really Bugze the changeling)
You realize that Nightshade's armor probably has something to do with your misfortune and you have the filly put away her armor so she can blend in more. Nightshade also decides to hide her wings and/or horn with a spell because an alicorn filly would attract alot of attention...
-You know what, let the Hive Mind decide whether Nightshade should disguise herself as a Unicorn, Pegasus, or Earth Pony.
Seeing as how Bugze's personality seems to be clumsy, adorkable, cowardly (but very courageous when he needs to be) and a bit snarky, I read his lines in the voice of my favorite actor, Robert Downey Jr.
Oh, and could you tell me what were the expressions/reactions of Celestia, Shining, and Cadance (and possibly that of the nearby Royal Guards) to Luna's gallows suggestion? I like little details like that. Also, have you ever seen Firefly, Serenity, or played Bioshock-?
(ROAAAARRR) Oh, AND WOULD YOU KINDLY CALL OFF THIS BIG DADDY!!! (*dodges charging drill*) I'm not even anywhere near your mind and- oh shit, REAVERS!!! (*now tries to hide behind the Big Daddy*)
4542549 ......... That reminds me if what Allen walker had fer lunch in D-gray-man (not the same stuff)
He had
1. Tonkotsu
2. Fried rice
3. Carpatchio
4.chinese beef tofu
5. Mango with sticky rice
6. 20 sticks of Japanese dumplings
Note all xtra large size
4542584 My food list was several references to Doctor Who.
Also, u got any answers for the following questions:
-What actor/voice actor do you 'picture' as Bugze's voice?
-What pony species do you think Nightshade should disguise herself as?
-What should be the name for Bugze's media-manufactured nickname for his alter ego (the one with a faceless black cloak and glowing orange eyes that appears to be Nightmare Moon Jr's guardian)?
awesome chapter
Try to find out where you got sent this time, and when.
For voice... Uh, either the guy who did Bugs Bunny originally or else an angry male teenager.
Well its quiet here so maybe i should read the "Stun Spells and You" book,i dont remember reading that and some tricks from it could be usefull later...
also for the voice: in my mind he sounds like The scout from TF2, but with a bit deeper voice
Write a list with all of the spells/moves you know, and add it to your inventory. It might come in handy later.
Preform a quick Inventory check, and especially make sure that little Nightshade is okay.
As you try to find out where you are, you realize you're not alone. To your right, you find a stallion in armor that looks like this:

"Oh I didn't see you there, I was too busy looking at the sun. Would you like to engage in some jolly cooperation?" *Solaire offers you a white soapstone*
Geez DWC, the situation in your head has escalated quickly... I mean it's really gotten out of hand.
My zealous vigor was just shot dead by space marines and Iron Man, so I'm out of here, but i'll also drop a comm stone so I can keep transmitting my thoughts directly into your mind. And just so it doesn't get destroyed, I'll leave this here too:
cardkitty.com/cards/darksteelforge3.png
4542549 Think horrified mixed with disgust. Add a little bit of shock and a pitch of green tone to their faces and bam! You have your faces. For the guards, Shining and Cadance. Celestia has a hit of rage and betrayal with her face. Oh , and I've never seen Serenity or Firefly. I've just never got around to it...sorry.
If a Big Daddy and Reavers are after you...Oh I know. Look to your left, if there is a sign that says 'MLP' archives then your in my mind. If not...then it was nice knowing you my friend.
4543599 I see the sign so I think I'm in your mind (no idea how I wandered in here) and the Big Daddy is currently busy with killing the Reavers. Now what do I do- AHHHHH! CYBERMEN LED BY M NIGHT SHYMALAN!!!
Quickly take in your surroundings.
"Ok. I'm back where I started." You say, your eyes twitching. Then you realize there is something terribly wrong.
A. Where's Nightshade.
B. Where's the TARDIS.
C. WHY ARE YOU IN THE FREAKING WOODS.
(Eyes widen) Crap. (Through walkie talkie) Erised and...Magus? Didn't know you were here. Oh well, no matter. Be on top alert. Shoot anything that looks menacing. Stay alive.
Oh, and I can completely see Martin Freeman playing Bugze, that would be adorable! (SQUEE) (sees Cyberman) NO! (Shoots it in the chest)
I got nothing for this chapter... wait.. the most important thing accually I see in the story so far is checking up on nightshade so go do that bugze!!! now if you excuse me I gotta go watch some cardcaptor sakura.... Yes don't insult me that I watch old shows (wait what year was it made in?) Like that!!!! But I imagine bugze's voice actor to be like one of those gamer youtubers that rages a lot. I'm not giving specifics ok!?
Ps this was written all on the tablet... BOOOM!!!
Check on Nightshade, find some where safe, get something to eat, read up on stun spells and the communication spells.

In DWC mind
*running from splicers, ducks into a dark side room, splicers run past.*
" I think I lost them them for now. Guys, we are gonna need bigger guns. Think DWC has an armory somewhere in here?"
"Brainssss"
*flicks on lights, turns around, Writing on the wall says ZOMBIE STORAGE, big horde of zombies*
"Oh you have to be kidding me..."
*Runs out of the room being chased by zombies*
I imagine his voice actor as something like the guy who plays Deadpool, Tom Cruise, and/or the Wilhelm scream.
