A bunch of foals and near-adults going to fight Sombra. Well, this'll be interesting. Or sad. We'll see!
... there is so much internal screaming inside me right now.
This will NOT end well
FINALLY.
6563340
It took a while to reach this point. I wrote about this happening about a year ago.
6563288 Yes it will. All the hurting will happen from now until the end, but it will end well. The world is at stake.
6563349
I remember that post in detail and was eagerly waiting for the story to get there.
A year ago? I guess it doesn't seem as crazy when I consider that I've been reading the updates daily since Dinky's birthday.
Why do I feel like this will be Bucky after Sentinel incurs the damage Kudz has already alluded to...
6563391
Sentinel loses his eye after his knighthood.
6563404 Ah. Well, I still get the feeling that would be Bucky if anyone he loves got hurt.
HA! I like how Scootaloo and Boadicea are are like "They can't punish me for doing exactly what they told me."
Oh..... Sentinel........GO
Stupid is as stupid does. Or is that crazy is as crazy does?
He's gone ludicrous speed!!!
lol, dont do anything stupid? tOOO LAAAATTTEEEE!!!!!!!
A plan isn't stupid if it works.
Also, i have a feeling Sentinel is going to lose his eye here, just a feeling.
"Don't do anything stupid."
"Don't do anything stupid."
"Don't do anything stupid."
"Don't do anything stupid."
Aaaand they did ALL the stupid things. All of them. Even the ones at the bottom of the idea jar.
6563587
After his knighthood. It comes later.
6563607
Apple Bloom. Princess of Growth... and Stupid.
Damn. This is about to get heavy. You have my rapt attention, Kudz.
About ten seconds of this
Well, I've lost a good deal of respect for Sentinel and Bucky. For ponies who are portrayed as so tactically-minded, one is blinded by pointless honor and the other by personal emotions. How many ponies would have to die before Sentinel was ready? How many other ponies would they have to send to their deaths to equal Sunset Shimmer? I know why they feel this way, but they were supposed to have been better than this... temper tantrum the both of them displayed. There is no excuse for how childish that was. Do they even have the self-awareness to be ashamed for their thoughts and feelings and words?
And apparently bringing more children into the fray. Of course they're going to win, that always happens when a bunch of children curse authority and run off in a rag-tag band. But ugh, goddamnit all.
6563654
Cadance was a foal when she took out Prismia.
Eh...
This shows both Bucky and Sentinel for having flaws. Bucky clearly has a breaking point where he loses his cold rationality as well as his pragmatism and Sentinel has spent almost a full year of thinking about getting vengeance. Both of them clearly aren't perfect. Both of them make mistakes. Both of them do stupid stuff. Both of them still have hearts and sometimes make decisions that are just plain bad.
Does this really make them lesser individuals for having breaking points?
6563654
Look at it this way, I know I am: Think of how much of a blow it would be to any Unicorn Supremacists that remain after this. A Powerful Type 4 blessed with some of Celestia's power defeating what would be their last hope at regaining power would make them Believe they are right in their thinking and keep trying. However, a Bunch of foals defeating him, with a few of them being Earth Ponies, Including an Earth Pony Princess that is basically Blasphemy to everything they believe, would probably crush them all in the most unimaginable of ways. Sunset Shimmer would just beat them. This group of foals would both beat them AND Break their spirits.
That is a MUCH more satisfying kind of victory in my opinion.
6563695
And this is sorta the point. I'm actually surprised that somebody grasped the subplot before it even happened.
We're going to see a return of an old magic that hasn't been seen for one thousand years in Equestria. What happened the last time a group of pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies all got together?
Well, this should be interesting. I cant wait to see what Discord has planned for the distraction.
6563722
Ballet Buffalo's... Though I may be biased as that was my favorite thing from the season 2 opener.
Yay, it's finally come!
To quote Fluttershy, "Oh, my!"
Let's see, we've got the Next Generation (tm) going off to save the world. Without adult supervision. Add to that breaking and entering, theft, airship-jacking, and probably truancy. Oh, and let's not forget just plain 'doing something stupid'. Yeah, this is going to be FREAKING AWESOME!
However, knowing how fate works, as well as our Glorious Leader (that's you, Kudzu), we already know that bad things await in the future when this is all said and done (something about an eyeball, I believe). However, I'm pretty sure that - somehow - this will all get resolved and Sombra's threat will (eventually) be eliminated. Whether or not it happens at this part of the story, we'll have to wait and see.
This being said, Kudzu, I'm sure you've got this planned out and it's going to be epic - however, my own twisted brain is looking forward to one thing and one thing only: the point in the future when that boat-load full of foals comes home and has to deal with some rather upset parental units. I don't think there will be enough pain reliever for them once Derpy starts with the wing slaps. Then there's Celestia, who is no stranger to using wing slaps to show her displeasure with those she loves (as Bucky so painfully found out). Then we have Berry Punch, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Belisama, Lugus... oh, the list is almost endless!
Of course, I have no idea how Bucky will handle all of this. That will definitely be interesting to watch.
P.S. I can just imagine a scene something like this, but with a long line of parental ponies rather than upset passengers:
6563704
Lets just say... I spend a LOT of time imagining stuff like this. Might say a bit about me for doing so, but honestly, I don't care.
Also, I am willing to bet the only reason all the foals get to continue their crazy mission is because Bucky's divine nature lets him realize this.
Does anyone notice that there is a Pegusus, two Earth Ponies, two Unicorns, and a nascent Alicorn Princess going on this adventure? Six young mares going into the dark to save the world, where have I heard that from?
I wonder if Applebloom is going to need to ascend for this? And how come Rumble got left out?
6563781
Technically, two pegasi.
We have Sentinel, a lunar pegasus, Scootaloo, a solar pegasus, Dinky, a unicorn, Sweetie Belle, a unicorn, Apple Bloom, an earth pony with an alicorn spirit, Diamond Tiara, an earth pony, Pina, an earth pony, and one griffon.
Hmm, a group like this hasn't been seen for about a thousand years or so.
6563695
That's the way WE can look at it because we're the audience. That is not how the ponies get to look at it. Sentinel is undertrained, underdeveloped, effectively unarmed, running off with his women and sisters into the maw of a being so powerful he could throw down with gods. Sure that sounds great from a writing/reading standpoint. But 'doing something stupid' doesn't BEGIN to cover how monumentally impossible this should appear to everyone involved. They could have died to a flood of /rats/ and they're going after a godkiller?
Am I the only one looking at this from an in-world perspective? Of course they're going to beat the snot out of him and come back triumphant. Possibly worse for wear, but they're coming back victorious. But to the people involved this should look exactly like suicide, just a lot slower than shanking yourself a few times and bleeding out in a tub. All because of 'honor' and 'selfishness'.
6563680
I at least hope you'll redeem their monumental temper tantrums with a very, very strong dose of shame and apologetic self-loathing. Having faults is one thing, but it gets sour fast when nothing comes of it but accolades and vindication.
6563829
The aftermath will be... unpleasant.
The phrase Pyrrhic victory mean much?
6563850
Hrm. I am mollified for the time being. Shifting gears to Wait and See. Audience wingslaps for them both, though.
6563829
Two hobbits take down a Dark God by chucking his phylactery into a volcano.
A Police Girl succeeds where the Father of All Vampires doesn't.
Three teenage, of middling skill, wizards take down their Evil Merlin.
One boy Robot defeats 8 to the 18 power robot masters.
One scrawny unicorn made a whole pantheon of eternal creatures wake the buck up.
Two teenagers defeat a God of Time and Space through lucky, pluck, and yanadere overtones.
The unlikely beating the Unbeatable isn't new, nor should it be unexpected.
These are children raised by heroes, their hallmarks and outlines for life are going to be etched in three things:
Suffering.
Hardship.
Glory.
6564174
WAKE UP KIDDIES! WHO WANTS TO DIE!
6564196
*Bucky puts on his Oprah wig and dress from the War Games*
YOU get a grisly death!
You get a grisly death!
EVERYONE HERE GETS A GRISLY DEATH!
6564254
Realistically speaking, for Bucky, it's more like:
"WHO WANTS TO LIVE?"
**Some dimwit commits an act of betrayal**
"FINE. YOU'RE GOING TO DRINK THAT CROWN. EVERY LAST DROP!"
And so another generation of heroes rises up to the occasion...
6564347
You had the 33,000th comment... yay!
He asked us, "Be you angels?"
And we said "Neigh! We are but foals! Rock!"
[Tenacious D blasting from the speakers]
Oh damn, it's the War Foals & CMC vs. Sombra. Can't wait to see how this works out.
6564367 So, I was bored last night and thought of what seemed like a good side story for the chase. Don't know what it would be called, but it could follow lyra and her inventions. Maybe "lyrical inventions?" Just a thought :)
6564985
Sombra, the good one, in Tartarus, Visiting his horn to laugh at his evil shadow on how it got beaten by a group of foals. That is how it'll work out lol.
And a prince with shaggy hair, an eye injury, obsession with honor, normally a nice guy but with a propensity towards brutal attacks where have I seen that before...

Hold your horses...where is Rumble? Where are my chances to insert "Are you ready to Rumble" jokes here!?
6566072
Rumble is at home with his parents and his baby sister.
6565236
Oh my freaking WHAT!?!
I completely see that!
6566072
6566081
Evidently we will not be able to Rumble.
