A Past Long Forgotten

Part 2
“So let me get this straight,” Spitfire said firmly as she examined Cadence’s wings with full interest, even pulling them lightly to take a closer look at each feather. “You’re an alicorn whose kingdom merged with Equestria long, long ago while it’s existence was erased from history books by the Princess, and you have been disguising yourself as various ponies ever since?” Noticing a firm nod, she continued, “You once took a persona of a pegasus named Braveheart and tried your luck with the Wonderbolts?” Spitfire took a quick look at the documents. “From Braveheart’s records, you were one of the biggest pegasi that ever joined the our ranks. In terms of speed and agility you were the slowest member on the team, but you make up for it with endurance and stamina, not to mention that your score on the exams were on Twilight’s level.”
Cadence nodded and said, “I had centuries to learn, Spitfire. As for my condition, I was never a dedicated athlete, but my superior stamina and endurance came from being an alicorn. It was the first time I flew with the elites, though, so keeping up with the others was a huge struggle.”
“I see. And five years after flying with the Wonderbolts, you died in action while saving the life of your comrade,” Spitfire’s face suddenly became far more serious, hostile even, “only to dig yourself out of your grave and start from the beginning as a new pony? Leaving your teammates behind with nothing but grief and guilt?”
The alicorn just nodded once again, not daring to respond with words as she kept her head low in guilt.
Spitfire sighed as she looked to the side at her trembling lieutenant as his poor mind still tried to add the facts together. Before the captain could add any word, Soarin’ cut in. “C-can you… can you tell me what happened, please.”
“What happened? What do you mean?”
“During that day when… when you saved Soft Breeze’s life! If she had died back then, my parents and I would never have been born. Please, I have to know what happened that day!”
Cadence levitated over a cup of water and drank it before wiping her mouth while being assaulted by Soarin’s wide eyes and pleading pout. With a couple cups of water and a few snacks nearby as she and both Wonderbolts sat in Spitfire’s office, they were ready for a long story. After taking a deep breath, she spoke, “I guess you have the right to know. It all started during the most dangerous assignment we ever had.”
“So, what’s our mission again? Sergeant Major Braveheart,” asked Sergeant Air Breaker as he looked at the leader. “Are we going to the badlands to rescue some rookie guards or check out their camp to find out why they disappeared? Why are they even in the badlands in the first place?”
Braveheart growled. “First off, they’re not rookies. They’re veterans. As for your other question, very soon the EUP Guard will be reformed into the Royal Guards, which will involve a reduction of funds, members, and forcing a majority of the military to leave their barracks and borderlines to patrol our cities. Their HQ has organized a full exploration of the badlands since this is their last opportunity.”
“So, basically, they want to do recon and map out the most dangerous areas around Equestria while they still have funding and members?” Sergeant Soft Breeze asked.
“Precisely,” Braveheart responded before speeding up. Her wings flapping strongly while her mane and tail fluttered against the wind. “However, exploring the badlands involves many dangers, and some of the guards started to go missing for some reason. And because the badlands are so large,” She turned her head towards Soft Breeze, gesturing her hoof for her to take over.
“They can’t spare many guards to investigate, so they called for us.”
Braveheart nodded while Air Breaker looked at Soft Breeze with jealousy. She responded with a smirk and said, “You really need to pay more attention during our briefings. Mine and Brave’s brains will not always make up for you having just a half.” Noticing his head turning away with an annoyed groan, she giggled.
The Sergeant Major looked to her sides and smiled warmly at her wing ponies and dear friends. Ever since her life as Braveheart began, she had met and became friends with some of her classmates. They faced exams, exercises in the barracks, even attended the Wonderbolts Academy together, and in the end, she and two of her friends became the elite fliers themselves.
Ever since this trio joined the Wonderbolts at the same time, they were appointed together as a team with a more experienced Wonderbolt in lead. At least, until Braveheart was promoted to Sergeant Major, making her leader of the group. Their former commander was relocated to a more experienced squad. Today was their Seventeenth mission with Brave in charge, a very dangerous one.

“And what happened next? Was it a manticore? A four headed beast, or maybe a humongous worm?” Soarin’ asked impatiently.
“I was getting to that...”
***
“Did you find anything?” Soft Breeze asked as she pushed some wreckage to the side from a destroyed officer’s tent.
“Nothing besides a half eaten daisy sandwich and cake. I am actually impressed by the food supply EUP is capable to deliver to such a dangerous area,” Braveheart responded before taking a closer look. “Aunt Celestia!” she said before putting hoof on her mouth, luckily none of her friends heard that. Soft Breeze ran to her at alarming speed in panic as her attention focused on a damaged pan. “Look at the bite marks on this pan. I have a feeling that whatever ate it must have some massive teeth, with an even larger body to boot.” Wasting no time, the sergeant major ran to the supply tent that was examined earlier by Air Breaker. Soft Breeze followed.
Pressing her hooves against the stone, Brave stopped herself from her gallop as the stallion looked at her with a gas mask in his hoof. “It seems that whatever attacked this camp forced the guards to leave their equipment behind.”
Soft Breeze bit her lips and said, “This is not good. I hope there’s no toxic gas or poisonous plants wherever they’re hiding right now.” With a firm stomp of her hoof, she shouted, “There’s no time to waste, we have to find them ASAP!”
Braveheart put a hoof on her friend’s shoulder and shook her head. “Don’t forget that whatever attacked this camp can still be in the area. We can’t search for the guards blindly with this beast around.”
Breeze slapped her hoof away and frowned. “And what do you expect us to do? Stay inside as that thing is hunting them down?”
“No, but… we need to be cautious. You both should inform the colonel and request reinforcements while I do a small recon from the sky.”
“Don’t be stupid.” Air Breaker jumped in and said, “For such a smart pony to come up with such a bad plan, I’m disappointed.” He pointed his hoof around. “As you can see, besides a few marshlands, mountains and swamps, the area is mostly open. If the guards really tried to escape and hide from some sort of monster, you won’t notice them from the air.”
Soft Breeze nodded. “That’s right. They can use caves, underground tunnels, bushes, or camouflage themselves in mud.”
Braveheart sighed. So much for getting a chance to use my magic unnoticed.
She was about to respond, when suddenly her ears caught something, causing them to perk upwards. Wasting no time, she looked around for the source of the noise, as did her wingmates. The sound of movement was emitted a little-ways off to their side.
Forming a triangle formation, the trio of Wonderbolts walked through the camp as rustling became louder with every step. Their wings were spread and ready to be used.
“Over there!” Air Breaker pointed towards a damaged hospital tent while stepping on few feathers that lay on the ground. “Maybe it’s a survivor.”
The Sergeant Major didn’t share his enthusiasm. There was a chance that a member of the EUP would return to the abandoned camp in search for medical equipment, but it could just as well be the monster who attacked it in the first place. And there was still a matter with the pegasi. Why didn’t anypony fly back to Headquarters and report? With a hoof gesture, she ordered her team to go airborne and observe the situation from the air. She quickly cleared her throat with a cough and shouted, “My name is Braveheart, Sergeant Major from the Wonderbolts of the EUP Guard. Identify yourself!”
With movements of the tent being the only response, she shouted again. “Are you a member of the EUP?”
A loud and aggressive growl came from the tent before it was torn apart as a huge beast emerged from it. The Wonderbolts’ eyes opened widely and ears dropped at the terrifying sight. The monster had two tails: one that looked like a scorpion’s tail, but much larger and another was similar to a cobra. The main body was one of a lizard with three heads emerging from it: a lion’s, a dragon’s, and a crocodile’s.
“Ch-chimera!” Braveheart shouted as she took a few steps back on her nearly paralyzed legs. Aunt Celestia once told her about the chimera she encountered during her search for the Elements of Harmony, but it had heads of a dragon, lion, and goat, and certainly no scorpion tail. Even chimeras that lived in the fire swamp were far smaller and had just two heads and one snake tail. This one had to be some sort of mutant that adapted to the badlands’ environment.
All of the sudden, poisonous darts shot from the scorpion’s tail towards the flying pegasi with rapid fire, as did the toxin from the snake’s head. Both airborne pegasi tried to evade, but the projectiles captured them off guard, striking against their wings.
“Soft Breeze! Air Breaker!” She shouted as her friends crashed into the ground with a loud thump. Yells of pain followed as their wings were filled with small stings and toxic substance. Braveheart spread her own wings as if ready to fly away, only to scream in pain as something struck them from behind.
The beast slowly approached. Saliva was falling from his mouth as it licked it’s lips.
Braveheart tried to move, but couldn’t as her muscles refused to heed her call. She could only stare at blood on the beast’s teeth and claws. Out of defensive reaction, her horn lit while the advanced illusion kept the blue aura out from her friend’s sight. She subtly pulled the beast’s foreleg, causing it to lose balance.
Braveheart grit her teeth as she struggled to suppress her fears and move her legs, when suddenly she was pulled right onto Air Breaker’s back. Both pegasi galloped away from the monster who slowly got back to it’s paws and gave chase as the distance between them quickly shortened. With another subtle use of levitation, she make the monster trip over again, but it quickly countered by shooting more projectiles that hit the stallion's hind legs.
“Air Breaker!” Soft Breeze shouted as she and Braveheart tried to pick up the pegasus back to his hooves, but his hind legs refused to cooperate. “We can’t escape without our wings. What do we do?”
“We can always use this!” Air Breaker said as he took out a few syringes from his saddlebag. “I found these on the ground when I searched the supply tent. Maybe we can use them against the chimera.”
Braveheart nodded as she took one with her hoof and one between her teeth. From the intel she read before the mission, EUP had this kind of ammunition in case of a monster attack, though it was mostly used by unicorns for obvious reasons. She gave the approaching monster a suspicious glare as it approached slowly, it’s eyes studying their every move. In order to force the guards from the entire camp to escape, it had to not only attack by surprise, most likely at night, but also destroyed the supply tent before any of the guard could take their equipment from it. This monster had to be both stealthy and intelligent. Furthermore, it’s tails were able to snipe pegasi wings, which would explain the feathers lying on the ground.
With Air Breaker behind her and Soft Breeze by her side, Braveheart gulped.
The chimera began to charge at the defenseless pegasus stallion while both female Wonderbolts galloped to intercept it. The monster shot a few toxic rounds at the approaching foes who jumped to the side to dodge, a very difficult feat considering that they had to hold their weapons in their teeth and a foreleg.
Braveheart could see a giant paw raised and ready to strike as Soft Breeze bent her three legs in preparation to jump. Knowing that using levitation on the paw would clearly catch her friend’s perceptive eye, she focused on the hind legs instead, distracting the beast as it’s attack struck the ground, sending dirt into the air.
The earth trembled under Soft Breeze’s hooves as she used this opportunity and stabbed a syringe into the monster’s paw. Braveheart did the same with beast’s other foreleg as the monster fell to the ground, it’s neck exposed. Both Wonderbolts galloped to it from both sides and jumped on it’s neck. They swung their heads as syringes between their teeth struck it.
Braveheart’s breath came rapidly, so did Soft Breeze’s as they both smiled at each other. Surely it was an experience that would stay with them for a long time. Maybe they would even get a promotion. Brave’s smile didn’t last long however as something caught her attention. Looking to the side, she saw the scorpion’s and snake’s tail ready to strike as they swung at them. Time seemed to slow down as the deadly attack was but mere meters away from taking their lives… one life to be precise.
The decision had to be made.
On one side, as an alicorn she wouldn’t die but instead experience an unimaginable pain. Not that she couldn’t endure as the pain was not new to her, she suffered far worse over the centuries. She would just take the hit and act as if the beast missed, carry Air Breaker on her back and return to the Wonderbolts. She could continue her life as the elite flier with a friend’s death on her consciousness.
On the other hoof, she could save her friend and take the hit on herself, but with witnesses seeing her receive a lethal wound, she would have to fake her death, leave her accomplishments and friends behind and once again start a new life in a never ending cycle she had to experience.
Her life in the Wonderbolts in exchange for her friend's life, or leaving it all behind? Braveheart jumped on Soft Breeze with no regret. Was it even a choice when the decision was so easy to make?
The last thing she saw was her friend landing on the beast’s paralyzed paw before a huge surge of pain spread across her entire body. Breathing became far harder, her vision started failing and tears fell from her eyes. She could feel her blood burning as her inner magic was fighting against the deadly poison. With a last effort to enhance the illusion spell with her magic, making sure that it last long enough and make her look dead, Braveheart closed her eyes.
The room went silent.
Spitfire looked to the side while Soarin’ held her wing between his forelegs nervously. It was one thing to hear a softened version of this story from his parents near a campfire, but completely different when hearing it from a pony who had been there herself.
Cadence broke the silence. “Aunt Celestia ensured that everypony thought I was dead and faked my funeral. She helped me to move on as a mailmare.” She rubbed her hoof with her head lowered and added. “I kept an eye on Soft Breeze and Air Breaker. I was a guest at their wedding years later and even heard that they had two healthy children who continued the Wonderbolts’ tradition of the family.” She raised her head and smiled at Soarin’. “And to think that this family tree would lead to you, Soarin’, and our meeting today. Life sure has an odd sense of humour.”
Soarin’ released his captain’s wing and rubbed his foreleg nervously while searching for something to say. Meanwhile, Spitfire stood to her hooves and approached Cadence, her stare firm and impassive.
Both alicorn and Wonderbolt just stared at each other for a few seconds before Spitfire pressed her muzzle against Cadence’s one and gave her angered glare. The alicorn blinked in confusion.
Both alicorn and the Wonderbolt just stared at each other for a few seconds before Spitfire shook her head with disappointment and spoke, “I don’t understand you. For such a brave pony, you’re also a coward.” Noticing that Cadence took a step back and blinked in confusion, she added, “While I admire your efforts to save your teammates, as an alicorn, your life wasn’t in grave danger. You just admitted that you knew you would survive.”
Cadence nodded hesitantly. “I assumed it would be painful, but I knew it wouldn’t kill me.”
The captain pointed her hoof at Cadence accusingly. “You’re brave enough to endure pain so others wouldn’t have to, and yet you faked your death and refuse to reveal being an alicorn. How could you do this to your friends who cared about you, to everypony who knew you, to those who loved you? You could’ve stopped this charade and end this spiral of lies anytime you wanted.”
“B-but… then everypony would know my secret. Even if my friends could look past my appearance, the next generation would see only an alicorn, not a fellow pony,” Cadence responded with pain in her voice as she raised her foreleg defensively. “I was there, held on pedestal and looked upon as somepony greater, superior, a pony above everyone else. I don’t want that.”
Spitfire frowned. “And what about your magic and experience. You said yourself that you had to hesitate several times to use magic against the chimera because your friends would see it. What if you hesitated and it cost their lives?” Cadence looked at the floor in silence as the captain continued. “You’re just escaping from your responsibilities. Maybe you would be a great leader, maybe your magic would be very useful if not hidden from the public eye.”
Cadence took few steps back, almost knocking over the water container. She steeled her nerves and responded with confidence, “Equestria is not my kingdom to rule, nor do I want to take part in leading it simply because I’m an alicorn. If I would become an officer in the Wonderbolts or a boss in a company, I will achieve it as a unicorn, a pegasus or an earth pony and use my raw power only when absolutely necessary.” She paused to take a deep breath. “Furthermore, how can I use my magic to help others when restrained by politics and paper work? How many times can Auntie Celestia step in to protect her ponies when the Royal Guards do it for her? How many times can she assist in building a house or levitating heavy cargo from place to place when workers and airships can do it under her command?”
With a stomp of her hoof, Spitfire added, “And who said that you will end up in a castle, away from ponies you want to work and live with? Who said that others won’t look at you the same? It is up to you to choose. You’ll never know if you won’t take the risk!”
“No,” Cadence said shake of her head as she looked at the floor began rubbing it with her forehoof. “Maybe I would manage to live with the other ponies as an alicorn and convince them to treat me as equal, but there is a high risk the opposite will happen, a risk I don’t want to take.” She took a deep breath and said with calmer tone, “I’m a coward, I won’t deny that. I have many regrets from my long life, but also many joys. I’ve made many friends over the years, and I’ve seen many die. Some of them I just couldn’t stay with because I had to fake my death, but it was my choice.”
Spitfire wanted to press the issue, but she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She looked to the side at Soarin’s stare who just shook his head. “Enough, Captain. Is this how you treat a Wonderbolt hero, a pony who’d go through terrible pain for a friend?”
Watching as the captain returned to her seat. Soarin’ turned to Cadence and, much to her surprise, hugged her. His forelegs embracing the alicorn’s wings tightly as he pressed his head against Cadence’s neck. “Thank you.” The hug lasted for a few seconds, as Cadence returned it. She would have answered with ‘your welcome,’ but were words even necessary?
Once free from his embrace, Cadence looked at her lieutenant's smiling face and eyes filled with gratitude. “Thanks for letting me know about your secret. I promise to keep it safe.” Soarin’ said slowly returned to his seat next to Spitfire and put his foreleg around her shoulder. “I’m glad that you have two more ponies you don’t need to hide your secret from, the more the merrier, right Captain?”
Feeling her cheek pressed against Soarin’s, she blushed and smiled weakly. “S-sure. Whatever you say.”
‘Knock, knock.’
Both Wonderbolts turned towards the door as Spitfire asked, “Who’s there?”
“Overwatch,” a muffled voice called from behind the door. “Me and Steelie have been looking everywhere for you.”
Spitfire turned her head to Cadence to make sure she knew this secret as well. Noticing a nod, she said, “You may enter.”
The female guard opened the door as she breathed rapidly as if she just ran a marathon. “Fleetfoot and Shining Armor are at each other’s throats. Your assistance is required!”
The captain and lieutenant looked at each other before saluting to Cadence. “Sergeant Major Braveheart, I am afraid we will need to cut this conversation short,” Spitfire said before lowering her hoof to the floor and walk towards the exit, Soarin’ followed. They both spread their wings and took to the air the moment they left the room, leaving Overwatch and Cadence alone in officer’s room.
More seconds later, Overwatch looked at Cadence with curiosity. “So, you were a Wonderbolt…”
“Long story.”
The guard nodded. “What about Spitfire and Soarin’, you saw that they are destined for one another. Are you interested in some shipping?”
Cadence giggled. It was situations like this that she was born for. “I’m in.”
“Excellent,” Overwatch said and shook her hoof with Cadence’s. She smirked and looked around the room moments later but her thoughts were quickly interrupted.
“Don’t even think about it.”
“Awww, but we’re alone in the captain’s office, just think about all the possibilities!” She quickly levitated a piece of document from the table with pictures of a green pegasus with name Lightning Dust and a blue pegasus with rainbow mane, their profiles filled with data written under the pictures. “After Twiny’s parents showed pictures with Mrs. Armorine on it, shouldn’t we learn something embarrassing about her just in case?”
“No, means no!” Cadence said as she walked out of the room with her horn lit, pulling Overwatch by her ear out of the room with a levitation spell as the door slammed behind her.
The annoyed guard frowned and crossed her forelegs, forced to leave such a treasure room without taking a single souvenir. She got back to her hooves quickly and followed the alicorn as a smile returned as fast as it was gone. Even if she could not play as a spy, there was still the role of a matchmaker for two Wonderbolts that needed to share one bed together as fast as possible.
Since you guys had to wait a couple of months for an update, you get 3 chapters for the absence.
Do tell me if you see any errors in the story.
I like this. I like this a lot. Why? Because despite being immortal, Cadence is still afraid of the manticore, even though she knows it can't truly kill her. And she has no problem "sacrificing" for her friends.
At the same time I can appreciate Spitfire's stance on the issue. Both sides are right in their own way, and it is nice to see this reflected in the argument. I look forward to more.
Must I read CTS And Tiny Librarian to understand this? Or is it not neccesary?
5060153
Could be better?
5060233
Actually, Cadence is not immortal, but being an alicorn make her long living and very tough pony. She already faced many dangers in the past, from King Sombra to dragons, and Cadence is not alien to pain. She know that Manticore will most likely lose in fight against her as she faced worse in the past, but even if she know that her life isn't in danger, she know very well that being struck by manticore will hurt, like a lot.
Glad you liked her in this chapter. Sadly this is as much backstory for Cadence as i can provide in this sidestory. Next chapter will focus more on bonding between the Wonderbolts and Twilight's family.
5060370
Since this sidestory happen before events of Tiny Librarian, you do not need to read it, however reading Celestia's Tiny Student would help you understand this chapter a bit.
Anyway, I will give you a short info about Cadence to help you understand this chapter more. Cadence at one point ruled the Crystal Empire, but once King Sombra arrived and took over, Cadence was banished from her kingdom and seeked help form pinrcesses of Equestira. Celestia and Luna tried to defeat King Sombra, but he vanished alongside the empire, leaving Cadence both homeless and devastated. Since Equestira wasn't her kingdom and not wanting to have special treatement, she started to use many disquises, maknig herself look as pegasus, earth pony or a unicorn as she lived many lives, faked many deaths and made many friends who passed away. Only castle guards and selected few know that Cadence is alicorn and keep it as secret. In this chapter, Cadence share her story with Spitfire and Soarin' as she once tried to be a Wonderbolt, but after taking deadly hit to save her teammate and friend, she couldn't just wake up and act like nothing happened without her secret being exposed. That is why Spitfire point out that she should just reveal herself to her friends rather than fake her death.
I hope that this explanation helped. If you want to learn more about Cadence in my story, her first apperance is in the middle of chapter 6 in CTS and she appear more in chapter 7 and 8.
Only 4 comments so far. I get the impression that this chapter wasn't a good one after all, or at least not too interesting.
5061200
It was a very good chapter and interesting in so far as it provided good background on Cadence. Despite this i wasn't going to comment on your chapter. (don't think I've ever but that's beside the point) just because people don't comment doesn't mean people don't like it. If people didn't like this chapter I'm positive you would have heard about it.
Don't let something like the number of comments put you off of your work. It has always been of a very high quality and I have faith that it will continue to be so. Comments or no.
Anew is one word, or you can insert 'life in' after new and remove the comma. Either way you should remove 'again and again' since stating the cycle is never ending makes the idea that it happens more than once implicit.
Missing an 'if' here between the two bold words.
5061269
I know, I know, but still. I really hoped to get some feedback when I introduced Cadence's backstory. Something to talk about.
5062474
Fixed.
5064338
It is better to prove oneself with action rather than words, so do not worry. After their screw up, I am sure that the Wonderbolts will get their ego in check and start acting like a good team, just give them a chance.
i loved it
any idea when the next chapter will come out?
5065903 twelve eternities
5061200
It's because it wasn't a Twiny-focused chapter. If it was, somebody would have posted about how horrible she is. :P
5065903
No idea. It may take a long time before next chapter will be uploaded since i am focusing on my other story.
5072951
Why are you saying that? Do you really think she is so bad?
loved the updates!
5073863
I find her to be a charmingly flawed character. That being said, a lot of comments are about how horrible she is. Just go back and read over the comments. Some people don't want Twilight to be as flawed as you made her, or so it seems.
5075851
I do not think it is that bad as you say.
5121702
I couldn't have it any other way.
5122990
Welcome back in the sequel.
5123483
Probably.
5127353
Well, the situation called for it. Beware of kitten Twiny, she can give a punch.
As for the Wonderbolts, they just have some problems in their team that need to be resolved.
5127444
Yea, they are restless.
5127542
Well. In the show, it took Twilight and Cadence to beat one, and in here we have three. There is reason why they are called the kings of giant worms.
5127830
Meaning?
5127915
Armorina.
5127662 I wonder how Cadance is going to deal once SA is dead and gone?
Aww, now I have to wait for this story to finish before I can continue with Celestia's Tiny Student.
5312742
Nah, it is just a side story. Feel free to continue main story since this one will take a loooong time to be finished.
5127990
It will be tough, but this is the price Cadence is willing to pay. To late to turn back now.
5322264
True, it is unfair of them, but after the breakdown Twilight put them through when she visited their home for the first time, they wanted to have a small revenge, and also making sure that Twilight is working in more safe enviroment is an opportunity they won't pass.
Every time I read a chapter (or story) like this, I imagine an anthro Cadence trying to decide whether to wear a Fed-Ex or UPS uniform.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I was in the middle of the story and I click on the wrong tab on the wrong place and everything was deleted..
UUGH!! LET ME TRY AND REDO ALL THIS REACTING
That's saying something
derpicdn.net/img/2013/2/9/238068/full.png
Of course it did..
Well, she did save someone life so...
Either they're very high in importance, or VERY low.
I wonder if during those history exams, Cadence thinks: I already know this information, i've been there and I've seen and expirienced it.
Shut up and she'll tell you..
I literally just googled "Cover has been blown" for an image or clip to put here and all that came up was Pinkie's 10 second clip.
I think we did it...?
(Ok I filled it all in. And that only took like seven minutes to do. That seems bad, but I have incredibly high WPM in typing speed. It's nothing compared to you because you write all these freaking words.. Over ten people can beat 65 average WPM..)
GOOD, SHE CAUGHT IT, SOMEWHAT!!
Fish Estimates 101! First lesson: The bigger the bite mark, the bigger the animal.
If it looks like any of these bite marks, or is over this size, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE, YOU IDIOT!!!
(Oh yeah, got a nice "Best of Touhou" playlist going on so it's not so deathly quiet in here... Good thing it's day or i'd be like 'FREDDY, GET YOUR GOLDEN BUTT OUT OF MY FREAKING ROOM YOU PERV! I have a three-ish feet long wooden katana, AND I PLAY WITH IT WHENEVER I PLEASE, AND I CAN WHIP THIS THING AROUND LIKE HOLY CRAP, COME AT ME SPRINGERS!!!
Ok im sorry, i'll read now..)
Oh... Please don't let it be those snake things from that last fight...
Almost anything but that..
I said almost, don't be throwing in Cockatrices, however you spell it..
I want to know how she's saying 'ASAP'
Like is she spelling it out or saying it like "AYSAP"
Like "HEY SAP, WASSUP?!"
I'm weird..
Activate the scanning spell- oh wait, you're all pegasi..
Right...
WAIT, NOT ALL PEGASI, IM AN IDIOT!!
Buddy, you forgot to tab that line over.
She listens! She wants to get away from the others so she can do "ZHE SCANNING SPELL OF MAGICKS, She shall uze da DNA from da biet and plug et into zha spell of MAGICKZ!!"
I am WEIRD today.. (Yeh, play it Flandre Scarlet!)
Ok it's like she's trying to read my mind..
It's kinda creepy. Stahp prying into my mind, Cadence. Stahp manipulating me into loving someone. Staaaaahp!!!
(If she makes me fall in love with anything, it's that 3 ft Katana I have sitting right next to me. With that thing I can atlest defend myself if I have to live on the streets and people want to jump me.) (Ok this is getting WEIRD, MOVING THE HELL ON.)
Ok Google won't work so I can't do the clip I want.
Anyways it's a clip from the 'Black Trailer' for RWBY
I know i've talked about it on this site before.
What freaking monster is that?
Thanks Braveheart..
I feel there needs to be a 'the' before Elements..
That must hurt like hell. Oh and uh, medpacks, now.
We all know she lives.
A good, but slightly risky save.
Oh it's only disables the wings? I thought it was a full-on paralysis poison. Talk about saving the freaking plot.
Syringes? Are these equipped with needles, and some kind of liquid?
If with needles and no liquid: Stab it in the Chimera, and break off the needle, and leave it in the beast. It will slow it down a bit. (Dark, I know.)
If with needles and liquid: FIND OUT IF ITS MEDS!!!
If no needles and is liquid: AGAIN, FIND IF ITS MEDS!!!
If no needles and no liquid: Um, save it just in case?
So it's steroids for magic?
Dark stuff. Though with Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory and Smile HD and how many other fics out there, who can compete?
So im guessing it's deadly liquid to chimera equipped with needles.
i get the impression that shinning armour is a hypocrite and neither he nor his parents have any respect for twiny.
i mean, did shiny not lead his own force to filly-d with every intention of engaging in combat? but his sister going their as a medic with her own (para)military force is not ok?
the difference in how their parents treat them suggests they are ok with shiny being military, but not twiny. so they either respect shining's abilities and not twiny's, or they just don't give a shit about shiny.
i kinda wish they would be called out on this, because it makes them come off as arseholes... or is that just me?

Kind of just you.
And so I don't come across as completely rude let me explain.
- Shining Armor is an unshrunk, adult stallion. Who went to specialized schooling for being in the military (the Academy), as well as Basic Training (full Basic Training) to be part of the Equestrian Military.
- Twilight is a shrunk minor. Who's lived most of her life in a small state where she was under constant threat of harm due to her size (and many times did get seriously injured to various levels of severity). Which being their daughter / sister. Would make them even more over protective. Since she didn't have Basic Training (To military standards), and was only a 'medic' for a few days.
- Shining Armor was part of a team that he trusted, and trusted him. That was trained for events like the Worm attacks.
- The Wonderbolts weren't, were under armed, under prepared, and understaffed. Didn't trust Twilight (most of them), Spitfire (most of them), and due to that lack of trust, caused more dangers than if they were a coherent unit.
- Shining Armor signed on knowing that his life would be at risk. And his family knew about the risk of him being a guard before hand (and probably had time to talk to him about his decision.).
- Twilight was chosen as a medic for a warzone without having talked to her family about the possibility, nor knowing that she would end up in a warzone in the first place. Which means that she could have died, and her parents, Shining Armor, nor her friends would have had been able to talk to her 'one last time' knowing that she could end up in said situation. Where as with Shining Armor, while a sad possibility, is one everyone is aware of as a possibility (which as a 'Student' isn't expected.).

So as you can see. There's tons of differences between Shining Armor's and Twilight's situation. Which mostly falls into one is a soldier, and the other is a student of a Princess. The other being that Shining Armor is a normal sized adult, where as the other is a shrunken minor (the combination of course making them even more protective of her. Regardless of her accomplishments because they all worry for her.).
