Awwww... nuts. I suppose I should hang it up then.
**sulks**
Multi-kill!
And they thought pissing off Bucky was a bad idea...
Almost a shame they didn't bring Rising. I suspect he could almost match Twilight's destructiveness.
And ponies are scared they'll get sent to the moon for doing bad things.
5204070
Imagine Bucky in alicorn form. That's the scary thought. See, this is the future he is turning away from as an alicorn.
Whole cities wiped off the map in seconds. Entire civilisations gone in a blink.
Only spotted one error.
You either missed a period here, or forgot a comma and mis-capitalized the E.
5204080
Alicorn power behind that upgraded horn of his would be the most destructive force anyone has ever seen.
5204091
No. If he ascended, he's have two eyes and a normal horn again. And a power driven by hate.
I have three points I wish to speak of.
One: Holy shit, I love these factories! Lever-actions are amazing weapons, a perfect medium between semi-automatics and bolt-actions.
Two: The indoctrination methods disgust me on a humanitarian level and have me nodding in respect at the same time. Oh, how I hate it and love it at the same time.
Three: So long as inbreeding is not an issue, the griffons on The Scorned Mare are plenty enough to repopulate the species. (Hypothetically, all one really needs is one male and eleven females.)
And one last suggestion for a nice even four: please, give me some black rain?
Solar flares are generally pretty big.
Like 'bigger than some countries at the very least' big, are these ones super concentrated or something like that? Maybe they have a really small sun?
5204102
There has been black rain.
5204110 Must have missed it. I'm a bit tired.
5204107
Small sun, orbits planet. Laser like precision for Twilight.
5204115 Ok, that makes sense
M... Deep thoughs.
Do I like Bucky with his killing and making rivers of blood
Or do I like Twi, Mass killing but too clean to enjoy...
Desicsions Desicsions Desicsions
I will go with Bucky. Show the hell and make them bleed! Fast death comes only to those who are worthy. They are not... The need to pay... Slowly
You write guns well into this universe.
Your decisions all make sense.
The first designs that used self contained cartridges were closer to Trapdoors and Bolt-actions but I can see with little innovation how they could come up with lever action repeaters. Semi-automatic and other autoloading designs would be extremely impractical unless they re-engineered their black powder into smokeless powder. Black powder will make most automatic designs foul and jam after enough use.
One issue that i have found though, if the Griffions are using lever-actions, that feed from a tube magazine, using centerfire ammunition with pointed tips, the guns risk explosion in the magazine. You cannot use a tube magazine with pointed projectiles because any jostling or force(such as recoil force) could cause one round to set off the one in front of it. So unless the rounds are rimfire(set off from an impact on the rim of the case as apposed to a primer in the center of the base) , or the weapons fire from box magazines, this could be an issue.
I know i rambled, but maybe you can make sense of what i'm trying to say.
Kudz, you strike me as a writer that values detail, so i wanted to discuss your thinking here on the subject.
however if the technicalities don't really matter, feel free to continue, I'm more than happy with it so far.
5204138
I was going for a magazine fed lever action design. Fast to reload.
Well little fledglings, what's the story here that uncle bucky is teaching us?
Dont f**k with Equestria, unicorns, or ponies that have access to limitless amounts of energy and are borderline insane from early childhood in general.

I like it!
overpowered is overpowered dude. that is a valid complaint because it risks ruining any sense of worry for the characters. so far not so much, mainly here it is better cause he has his armor to protect him. though feel gryphons, should be giving him a harder time than he is having.
that is an issue throughout the chase. you make magic too powerful and seem to be highly selective of what magic actually has power to it, favoring unicorn magic and disregarding both sky and earth magic because ti has obvious application. it risks things thematically overall cause if you make something too powerful then it makes no sense that it can ever be beaten. so far the only thing i am raising my eyebrow in disbelief at is twilight actually be able to call down solar flares here.
5204162
Thats a WInchester 1895. Actually reloads from stripper clips or single rounds into a fixed magazine.
You need something like this:
browning.com/support/files/images/brn/2013-All/2013--Family-Pages/blr-magazine.JPG
With a larger capacity magazine, of course.
5204184
That works too. I was just going for a visual example.
and no i am not trying to find an argument over every chapter. the chapter itself i had nothing to add about. whole bucky is overpowered thing and unicorn thing i did however.
Ah shit. Boreale Bitters you hev fehled teh Emprah.
Twilight was supposed to not do the killing... she was supposed to remain pure. If Twilight fucking double-ascends into Magic and War I'm going to straight die in my chair.
5204180 think of Bucky as Tony Stark with iron man
the Pony inside the armour is week, he made his armour to fix this...
he missing an eye = make a better eye + visor
he missing a leg = armoured leg for walking + killing
he's magic is lacking in some aspects, but in the end and with Kudz unicorn system, he is lvl 4+ he should be fucking overpowered, he isn't an alicorn but half way there
add dark magic that is more easy to use then normal when you have the option and you get a Bukcy, half crazy dark mage with power armor
5204205
Oh, she can't do that. No worries.
5204206 i just said that with his armor i do not find him overpowered right now. though still, gryphons should be giving a bit more trouble.
was mostly refering to a lot of the other stuff in the story. the lunar pegasi and such. far too much op stuff all over. and he is extremely selective with what magic is unfair.
5204205 she isn't killing, she is purging
while still killing, it is clean, she don't deal with the dead or voices she makes it clean, much more easy to distance yourself from that, think of today's soldiers that push a button from a bunker... they kill but lack the understanding
bucky is the front line solider bathing in blood, hearing the sounds, voices.... thats the shit that makes people have PTSD
5204229 with gryphon's only having firearms they can't make real damage to bucky due to magic, if he goes against other magic weapons then yes, thats an option, but the dont have them (or do they have more legless unicorns, think twi canon) fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/115/e/f/pinkie_pie__s_gatling_laser_by_tomdantherock-d4xl4e3.gif
5204206 only unicorns have any significant attributes and both the pegasi and earth ponies magics are disregarded by large. it is unbalanced and it far from needs to be to this amount.
5204237 ..........you even read my comment dude? i just AGREED that he has the advantage here. only said that the gryhpons could give him more of a fight considering how aggressive they are.
Twilight's Furious Fire to Bucky's Frozen Brimstone... I guess Bucky failed to keep his promise to Celestia.
Celestia asked him to protect her, to keep her from having to kill.
I don't blame Twilight in the slightest, and it's not like Bucky was TRYING to make her a killer.
Nobody saw those dreadnoughts coming; it's called 'the Scorned Mare' for a reason...
5204244 life isn't balanced, magic is a rule breaker. it has always been
while earth ponys and pegasus have limits, you can't be too strong (snow flake) or fast (RD)
unicorns have lvls like any magic user you see in other storys, there are strong and weak and it's a pyramid... there aren't too many strong unicorns, here we just have 3 of the strongest (i count the Queen of Storms) so it looks too much but in the end it's just 3. as Kudz told when Twi counted... many unicorns would have died from firearms... they are week, few are strong, even fewer are extreme magic users
5204253 ............ earth ponies and pegasi both have magic dude, a more specialized form yes but that would only mean that their energy is directed towards the specialization rather than it being weak. just as a unicorn specializes in magic and grows stronger with casting spells, why couldn't an earth pony become more physical enduring, bring more life to its surroundings, or even manifest other powers like being able to regenerate or heal others? or a pegasus be so skilled with weather that it could flap its wings and create a maelstrom and manifest thunder clouds?
i cannot blame the guy for not getting too creative with all that. he has done an asload in only a few months. still i just smell missed oppurtunity. magic is unfair perhaps, but magic is not simply spell slinging.
5204271 because in the end, their magic isn't special in other forms of use, unicrons can heal, make storms... the special magic they have is limited in use, not in power...
5204271
Because all the research has been done of unicorn magic, and nothing has been done on earth ponies?
Remember what Equestria we're talking about here. This is an Equestria that has been under the heel of the unicorn elite, that even went so far as to put drugs into the water to keep earth pony population under control. Any research into earth pony magic would be stamped out immediately. They've only just gotten out of that situation.
This was even mentioned in the story earlier by Bucky. There's a ton of potential there, but nobody has actually looked into it. Remember little PiƱa?
5204276 unicorn magic is the magic with the obvious uses. earth pony and pegasi magic are the ones that have the most hidden power. there is a reason why alicorns are a hybrid of all three species. each pony breed gives them a strength to use. so obviously earth ponies and pegasi have aincredibly powerful attributes as well if one has the time and creativity to figure them out............
either way, speculation is speculation. this story speculates that their abilities require little magic at all.........
in the show tirek had to grow strong enough to take earth pony and pegasus magic. he did this by taking unicorn magic...........
5204291 he seems to imply that they do not have any abilities of significance anyway. least individually. species wise they have singificance, but there can never be an earth pony individual with considerable prowess. he even implied maud pie and applejack are far weaker than a lunar pegasus even.
So what does Bucky sound like when he cackles maniacally, author?
Not mad enough?
5204276 then again one of the first fanfics i read was Immortal Games....... ending is kinda garbled but the story is clever with how it balances the powers and emphasize how an alicorn was powerfulk; having all the pony attributes.
kinda spoiled me with that i think.
5204296
Everything is weaker than a Lunar Pegasus. They're more comparable to a bloody dragon than a pony. They're not a natural creature, rather an abomination created by
Nightmare MoonDiscord.That's like comparing a human to a vampire.
You keep comparing them to a unicorn (Something that breaks the laws of physics) and a Lunar Pegasus (An unnatural creature created by
Nightmare MoonDiscord). Two creatures that are the apex of what is possible in this universe.They're more comparable to a Griffin or a pegasus. Applejack does have at least two griffion kills to her name.
This isn't a video game. Life isn't balanced. A fox and a chicken certainly isn't.
Not to mention, you've forgotten little Pina. An earth pony that had a magic surge.
EDIT: Changed Nightmare Moon to Discord. I'd forgotten just who created them.
5204317 ........ pegasi fly despite having a body not built for flight, and earth pones are the size of large dogs and could turn over a van on a whim. they might not be turning lead to gold but they are defying common sense and physics still.
and i am using those two as examples because both of them show enormous destructive potential, beyond their normal kind, yet they are weaker than even the waekest of bat ponies...........
also earth ponies gain strength from the earth, bat ponies the moon and have two other things to send their energy to................. earth is bigger than the moon.
5204317 ......sighs i do nto want to argue. just feel a lot of missed opportunities going on here.
also that was discord who made them dude.
If Bucky is an atom bomb, then Twilight is a multi-kiloton warhead.
5204046
Love ya Kudzu.
This was everything I ever wanted. Forever. I'm so happy.
Fearing the Alicorns too fuckin right. Nobody messes a race that can weaponize the Sun.
I'm so happy!
Also,
5204304
Bucky cackling like Alucard makes me happy.
I wonder what's the total death toll on the griffons?
I kinda wish Bucky would be like Abridged Alucard, badass and partially mad.
Bucky failed, though he couldn't have done any thing about it.
Twilight doesn't really have it that bad, she's killing them "cleanly".
I read 4 chapters today, you wrote 4 chapters today, please, please don't overheat and/or explode.
And yeah a war like that would have been very very very very bad, Equestria really isn't for war, but they got quite some OP beings that can... Kill.
5204361 Overpowered beings that there are only several of.
Once the army gets dispersed, and rolls across equestria - getting mixed in with the remaining ponies - problems arise with using that power without massive friendly casualties.
I feel bad about those gryphons. They just followed orders, what the higher-ups gived them, maybe they didnt even wanted to be there and disagreed with the whole ideal, but couldnt do anything cause the only survival in the society for them was in the military. And the workers in those factories just wanted to get payed and provide shelter and food for the family,or they were forced to work there to help the country. And what do they got? A mad priest of war and rays of burning death. I didnt liked gryphons before but now i pity them.
The rifles are pretty cool though, but i think a few steps how they invented the brass shell-s are missed out (maybe they used those in the peacetime and made them more refined in the way)
