Thousands of years following the story of Archmage, Twilight takes on a new student. One who doesn't know the first thing about advanced magic. One who needs to start from Square One.
Wow. This chapter kinda reminds me of The Battle Off Samar All that Basil needed to say to the troops protecting the spellcasters in his pre-battle talk could be summed up in two sentances:
This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can.
A few dozen against a few thousand? Not to bad, really. Though any sane strategist would have realized that the tunnel itself would have been a much less suicidal place to hold the line.
5664327 Exactly! Hold a fighting retreat. Have the Unicorns support the earth ponies while they hold the shield wall and slowly back up. Basic phalanx manuvers.
5661684 You're forgetting something. In this universe of MLP, Twilight invented and defined the word 'badass'. In the other sequal that takes place before this one, the one with her going through mirrors? In it she has a weapon that can kill gods, AKA Celestia and Luna. She basically can kill anything. She isn't 'A' Badass. She is THE Mother Fucking Badass.
I think that sums up my reaction perfectly.
I knew Twilight was a badass but damn.

My point was they should never have taken to the field in the first place, too much surface area of wall, not enough redundancy.

Considering Equestria hasn't been in an active war in thousands of years...
Commence read.
This was feeling a bit off. Think the perspective changed on accident? A my instead of "her"?
That tackle sounds pretty darn intense.
Now to see what kind of world she awakens to.
