I feel like an idiot. I realized that 'Project Chimera' probably had something to do with Discord. What I never made the connection to was flux. A state of flux is essentially chaos. Whatever is in the/a state of flux is constantly changing. How did I never notice that? I know the definition and everything!
For Gardens and Spike I am assuming.
Least not before a nice dinner.
The machine monster in the tunnels again?
Why not both?
Getting blueing on guns today is expensive and old ones with the finish are rare-ish.
Something ain't right about that blade. And I don't think it is good.
EC-1101 can now think for itself and pick a user?
Glue? Which Twilight's work?
Boo is now part of the group.
What is the real difference between Flux and I.M.P.? Both are from Discord.
Oooohohohoho... oh my... that... mind blown.
Awesome job o this chapter dude, jeeeeeeebus... BJ, ugh...
Too soft... squishy.
Nice job!
All I can comment on is *grabs popcorn to finish the other two chapters*
Funny enough it's a Discord episode next in Season 5.
Holy crap on a cracker!! DISCORD IS CHIMERA AND FLUX?! DUUUUUUUUUDE
I still remember being awake at 2:00 a.m. reading this chapter when it was released on gdocs in the summer of 2012. That "oh shit" moment is one of the highlights of my time reading pony fiction.
Discord..... what a sad day this is....
I wonder how Psychoshy will react to the fact that her mother has been a tree for all these years.....
And at last we have an answer to one of the biggest mysteries in Fallout Equestria: Where is the Lord of Chaos?
6784301 THE HALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
THE CAKE IS A LIE ITS ALL A LIE a lie
She was an evil murdering cunt... So why can't I stop these tears?
6597048 IMP was the formula Twilight hoped to perfect to make alicorns. Taint, which Littlepip encountered is the imperfect form of it that never worked while Flux is what both were made of. So if Flux was milk and Taint was Chocolate Milk, then the IMP would be the chocolate milkshake.
Oh, I didn't realise Cave Johnson worked here.
The reveal about Psychoshy was no surprise at all. All the signs were there. I guess it was nice to get confirmation.
That final reveal, though? Kinda mad. We'll have to see where it goes. :B
Other thoughts. So now all the Chimera ponies are either dead or Precious? That's kinda weird. I'd kind of forgotten about Boo, aka "that random seventh pony in the audiobook cover art who never showed up in books one and two". Very odd addition to the party. I wish P-21 wasn't gay, because I want him and Rampage to get together now. :V I wonder if Razor Wire is the "real" Rampage, given how deep her memories of her go. If the Dealer is or is caused by EC-1101, that would be cool. Two more criticisms.
That scene with Rampage and BJ discussing P-21's addiction stands out as being kind of not great. You've handled hard, real-world problems well in this story, but Blackjack's willful ignorance of what's happening with him feels stupid, even for her, and Rampage's dialogue came off like an after-school PSA. She's not usually one for lecturing.
Lastly, all the sympathy. There's something to be said for the drive to make sure that every monster has another monster behind them. Except Brass. Yet you even gave her sympathy at the end, which kind of aggravated me. There wasn't even any catharsis with the death of the pony just the thought of whose death made Blackjack jump for joy. Her half-hearted apology at the end would have been a nice, pathetic note to end her existence on, but no, she has to fuck manticores. I'm currently trying to decide if the whole "I'm gonna kill them, no wait, I can't, P-21 you can't either, let's be friends" thing is actually irritating me or not. It's a definite cycle with these characters, and while it fits show themes, I'm not sure that's such a great thing, considering how far away from the show we are here.
Of course, the real victim in all of this is Ol' Hank. :(

Peril of cliffhanger based chapter splits? Leaving on high tension situations risks that any negative feelings inspired will linger until resolved later on. And of course all the work in the past is a little fraught, since that's where there's so much more room to mess up canon characters and everything around them. But any talk about that would fit better next time.
You know, I'm not sure that I can remember anyone ever really talking about shipping Rampage before. Maybe it's partly because it seemed like she might never have really got over Priest (leaving aside the associated baggage). There not being all that many comparably prominent straight male characters likely didn't help.
In fairness to Blackjack, she is basically working off of PSA-level material, and probably doesn't have much of a mental model for something like a functional alcoholic (her own major experience having left her falling apart at the seams). That, and she's top tier where denial is concerned.
The sympathy is something I've had trouble with a lot of the time, probably more towards the back end than earlier. I think it was around this time (actually, maybe a bit earlier, before getting to Hippocratic, with Psychoshy) that I first really started feeling frustration where Blackjack letting people go was concerned. Every single time, it seems like it would make things so much easier, and be morally gratifying as well. But longer term, breaking from that would make her a very different character, one I suspect I'd like less. (I love me some superhero stuff, and my basic model for that done right is—for better or worse, pretty much always has been—the DCAU. So a relevant comparison is Man of Steel, and the choices made there.) That said, simply avoiding this kind of situation coming up in the first place while writing, not always, but enough to spread them out more, would have kept the basic structure while avoiding some of the negative feelings along the way. As for Brass herself . . . I think it comes down to Blackjack just not being allowed to be happy about that sort of thing. Kinda agree on the over-selling it: "but he loved his dog" fell flat as character work, and even absent the sex angle left a feeling of awkwardness about the ending, like they were thinking "well, I guess we just walk away now."
Forgot to say at the time, regarding the writing in FoE core characters and having them talk up the PH cast: there is one very important exception to that—Homage. As long as (and I don't think she did, but I also don't remember everything perfectly) she wasn't going so far as to say Blackjack was better than her girlfriend, she's fair game, since that's about a third of what she does.
7135096
It's funny, I got a little mad when BJ spared Psychoshy, then with Sanguine, I'm thinking to myself, "I'd rather have sympathy for Psychoshy than this." XD
And I hate to say it, but I actually like Homage better in this story than the one that introduced her. (She is far and away my least favorite FoE character.) There's a lot of the requisite "talk about LP's sex life in public" and "humiliate LP because someone thinks it's funny", but otherwise, she was helpful, she was kind, and her revenge-kissing Glory is probably the best thing she ever did in either story.
7133587 Poor hank! :'(
Here I was hoping we could have him join the group...
but I knew that already because of the GDocnope, have never read this story before, can't remember any so as to not spoil it for myself reading something for the second time even though I have 'never' read it before...Spoilers below for up to this chapter, read with caution. Ink blotted for your protection! It occurs to me that it's probably not necessary; people spoil in these comments so it's whatever. Why would you read them first? Still.... it won't be me if I can avoid it.
I can certainly sympathize with Hank... every time I hear anything about Goldenblood I kinda want to kill something, too. He and Hoofington are just so OOC for Equestria that they jar me out of the story a bit. They're like the war (already a lot to take in) turned up to 11.... hundred. I get that 200+ years later things are bad... but this shit started back then (apparently driven forward by Luna the crazy warmonger, a rare negative portrayal of her) and I just keep rolling my eyes about it. Sometimes, Somber is a silly pony. Oh, and turning zebra superstitions into something real (albeit involving magic meteorites or something, not stars)? I think I preferred Zenith's line: '...it's just a stupid rock!' War never changes... as in it's fuckin' dumb. I don't buy the dealer's armchair quarterbacking of the Ministry Mares either... Yeah, I'm sure the religious fanatics would have just gone home and everything would be shiny and happy if Equestria had surrendered. Haven't you met Lancer? Zebras are all about live and let live.
This is a group of people who had a major problem with Luna... so what'd they do? They tried to assassinate the OTHER sister. *golfclap* I'm sure that would be the best way to get rid of Luna; they're totally rational and trustworthy. Further, given everything that Hoofington and the O.I.A were accomplishing under the Mares' collective noses, I don't feel like a resignation would have actually done anything. Hell, Goldenblood could just erase their memory of it and put em back to work as long as Luna told him to. And I get the impression that this particular Luna would do just that.
Oh, speaking of sympathy... Blackjack, if anything you've got it backwards... spare the poor mooks who are just punching the clock for the wrong team... and kill the shit out of the monsters paying them. Seriously, I don't freaking care that Sanguine has reasons. You're worried about lying to him but you're breaking your word to a dying mare who had a semblance of honor? That death scene was well done... got to me way more than the rest of that chapter. Rest Well, Dusty. Priest was one of those 'too good for this sinful world' types... I was braced for his death within minutes of meeting him. Kinda thought Charity would die, too. Blackjack keeps making predictions about her fearsome future... last time she did that said filly was torn in half a paragraph later. Glad she made it though... may she swim in a vault of caps one day. Back to Sanguine... even long before Blackjack drove him crazier (Brimstone's Fall level, which is a REALLY high level), he sent fucking DEUS to Stable 99 with his gang of rapist raiders... If he wasn't a sick monster the whole time, why didn't he send some ninja pony to sneak in and steal it while a few others BSed the Overmare with the same lie he'd fed her that got her to open the door to begin with? Easy win, no need for horrors, done deal, family saved and holy shit, you can maybe even look 'em in the eye! But nope, let's go full comic book super-villainy (cause this shit can't even show up in cartoons) for some reason... It makes this sudden sympathetic excuse feel tacked on.
Well, I called the Med-X thing, not that it took a genius. I like that Blackjack isn't buying it. She's got a major (guilt related, but also genuine) soft spot where he's concerned... I don't see her being able to Velvet Remedy him about it... but Rampage might. When she chased him making kissy faces... oh god, chapter high point right there. 'Back! Back I say!'
Blackjack offering him a hug was really touching, too.
The Psychoshy and Discord reveals weren't too shocking... though the latter is highly dependent on where it goes and it's certainly a fascinating development. Honestly... how the hell else would Flim and Flam get Flux? In Fo:E Twilight made it, and that's believable because she's Twilight. Take it from her and that narrowed the field quite a bit. The former reveal... didn't we already know that? I mean, some characters didn't, but... well I guess it hadn't been expressly spelled out. Then again, most of the major players seem to be from 200 years ago one way or another so maybe I just assumed and happened to be right. Heh, wonder if Psychoshy will be around long enough to find out her mom is still alive... I'm not particularly invested in her yet (or her mom, for that matter... blindly optimistic treason is still treason), but that would be a helluva meeting. Ooh, could it be she couldn't use EC-1101 because Goldenblood locked himself out of it (my hatred is a reasoning one, I will not close my mind about him... mostly) or is it simply because it's already found Blackjack and so won't continue seeking an operator? Or is the dealer an actual pony spirit living in the program like it was a Crusader mainframe and protecting it from the wrong hooves? ...Yeah, don't answer that.
Hippocratic isn't just banging rocks together, folks, they know how to science up a clone! I wanna pet Boo.... even if she is a shout out to those creepy FMA dolls. Looking forward to seeing how that and the Killing Joke thing play out (Glory is 20% cooler... but can she still science?).
TL:DR? Well, it's ink-blotted, so never fear! Really nice work, Somber and company... don't let my picking at details make it seem as though I think otherwise. Forward we go!
Well fuck me in the ass and call me Sally.
Holy shit... the revelations in this chapter are batshit crazy. That's the source of I.M.P and Psychoshy... damn. But if she couldn't access EC-1101, then what in the bloody hell lets Blackjack do it? And the Dealer... I think that's the coolest revelation of the chapter. Super awesome to see that he's not just BJ's craziness. Onward, woo!
~SolidFire
ho-ly shit. Discord is the source of Flux and I.M.P and shit.
aww fuck, and I thought discord was still a statue. That brings up the question: What happened to the crystal empire? Wait oh shit, how could Discord die???????? adsoifjalsjflads
Hello mister De Lancie, what're you doing here.....stuck in this statue?
can someone please explain the whole level up system ?
Fury, Precious and Brass.
I wonder what their backstories are besides "one's upon a time, in a monster lab far far away..."
Theory confirmed! The Dealer is, in fact, separate of BJ!
I knew it!
So...they turned Discord into a Flux fountain...
Surprised they haven't turns the cloud cover into cotton candy.
There'd be a lot of angry Enclave, that's for sure.
Funny, I since asked Kkat about Discord, and he said he just plain didn't involve him in his world. Said he died or just disappeared before it all happened.
Good job, Somber. Great surprise!
8089319
Well, we know Brass was a gigantic amoral bitch. Come to think of it, I wonder if Deus knew she was still around...
Re Discord and FoE: yeah, the original almost didn't bring him up at all, and were it not for a couple extraneous mentions of him from the stained glass windows and Celestia, it would have been consistent with him never existing in this universe at all.
7399963 words cannot express my hate for you right now
Also while sure it was treason. Treason is just a rule that says follow me or else. Then again I think government is only a necessary evil at this point and she, unlike her companions wa actually wiling to take a risk to end the war. It had tragic consequences but technically she succeeded.
8121120 Words can always express hate; try harder. ...Not that I mind, of course, hate me as much or as little as you please, no worries. Especially for something I said 9 months ago. I had to go reread it to figure out what had you so irked. As to treason... I disagree. It's betraying your country and your comrades, your friends. There's more than just a government at stake, and a government is to be for the people anyway. She assumed that she knew better than anypony else how to end the conflict. She severely underestimated the capacity for violence and hatred in those around her, friend and foe alike.
She ended the war by getting practically everyone killed. If that's your idea of success...
Hey, it's fine to do what you think is right... unless what you think is right is freaking insane, which is why you don't make a decision affecting the entire world by yourself. Lots of serial killers think they're doing the right thing... that's what crazy is. She did something completely crazy, and it destroyed almost everything. Well meaning? Certainly. But if she hadn't betrayed her people, hadn't assumed that she alone could only solve the problem by helping the enemy... the bombs might have never dropped.
If that means you hate me.... K.
I was wondering what had happened to Discord.
HOLY SH
!
I was starting to think it was him in the last quarter there, but wow! What a twist! Well, at least for me!
Also, what if her crazy has something to do with the second star fall? Probably not, but the thought occurred to me.
nice little Portal reference there.
the last part of this chapter reminds me of another of my favorites: "Tryptich" by Estee. someone stole magic from Discord and used it for several purposes, including trying to turn a normal pony into an Alicorn.
but it didn't work: the poor filly keeps slowly changing between Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn.
Damn, Dealer.
Welcome to the group, Boo!
8289328
Yeah this reveal explained so much about the wasteland to me
As it was mentioned ealier, I really belived that discord was respawning loot in the hoof.
Fluttershy's daughter???!!! WHAT? I was so shocked. I belived, from the goldenblood orb in (ch.33 i think) that tarot was flutters daughter
😢😭
Kinda feels like doubled standards.
I mean.. if he'd did that straight out from the beginning I'd believe him and gladly help him
And that’s why Twilight is a badass. 😎
That and the fact that she knocked-out one of Tirek’s teeth with her horn laser.
derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/11/6/144598.png
Let’s see where this is going.
Poor Twilight. If only she knew that she spent so much time on the one project that will become the key to restoring Equestria.
Okay that was interesting. A tired, worn-out and regretful Goldenblood. Very different from the all-powerful, all-knowing director of the O.I.A. who seemed to be in control of everything.
My guess is that it’s similar to the memories she received when travelling through the tunnels.
Still think they look wrong on ponies.
Robot with southern accent coming out of nowhere and saving Blackjack’s live. That was certainly not what I expected to happen next.
“I spent the first ten years trying to keep the floor waxed, but nothing gets out nuclear fallout from vinyl wood. Nothing!”
Somber predicted Codsworth.
So there are two opposing forces fighting for control over Hoofington’s robots and computer system.
Suddenly the robot went into kill mode. Wonder who programmed him to react this way.
Hoofington underground, is a world full of wonders and terrors. But mostly terrors!
Besides, it’s not like there’s anything important inside your head that needs protection.
Hello Boo. Welcome to Team Trauma.
Fury is about to have the worst day in her life.
Again showing Blackjack’s ability to thing outside of the box when under pressure and come up with creative solutions to take out seemingly invisible enemies. We’ve seen this before when she fought the twins.
Blackjack: She’s going to brutally killing you but at least she’s sorry about it.
Also, it took me until this chapter to realizes that she was part Phoenix. I knew it couldn’t be a Kirin because they didn’t exist when this story was written, but someone I forgot about Phoenixes existing in the show. Probably because there’s a loooooooooot more Kirin fan art nowadays. Not bad for a species introduced in the second-to-last season.
That explains why the Nightstalker mentioned before didn’t attack Blackjack. There’s plenty of free food down for them so they aren’t really hungry.
And that’s why she’s still a hero. When the chip are down she does the right thing – or tries to do it.
A lone guy in power armor after Blackjack. Yep, he’s death!
Wonder why they didn’t just block the exist(s) and wait for her to die. Seems a lot smarter than entering a place that’s dripping in flux. Power armor or not.
Seriously dude, just leave! Let the Flux kill her. And if the Flux can’t kill her because she’s immune for some weird reason, you’re putting yourself in a bad position. No matter what they pay you, it’s not enough to follow her.
“Guys? Did you hear that? Sounds like Security killed Gus!”
“Great, that means the rest of you now owns me 10 Bits!”
Congratulation unnamed Griffon. You just won a spot-on Blackjack’s Kill Count list and my personal list of dumbest characters in this setting.
You are no Colonel Aurum, but you’re close.
Also first Griffon killed by Blackjack. Was expecting this to happen a lot sooner with all the RedEye mercenaries showing up in the story recently.
This scene her really makes Goldenblood an Anti-Blackjack. He’s all about how sometimes you need to do bad things for the Greater Good. While Blackjack refuses to compromise her morals just because it’s easier or convenient.
Seriously what’s with these henchmen going after her all alone? If you really want to follow her into a potentially lethal and dangerous place at least bring some friends to give yourself an advantage.
You really shouldn’t have said that.
Wait lovers? Is she talking about the Manticores? Yickes…
Yep some people are just assholes who realized that they can benefit from exploiting and hurting others. Even if she’s just a mock, it makes this story a bit more realistic if not every bad guy has a sob story.
Nothing one or two doctor’s bags can’t fix.
Was that you, Boo?
Sick burn.
That was unexpected! Rampage knows how to make an entrance.
Okay there have been a lot of nauseating and gruesome deaths in this story, including what happen to the griffon, but this takes the cake. Even someone like Brass didn’t deserve this.
So, even the self-proclaimed asshole with no regrets has somecreatures she cares about and get’s a sad death scene. Shouldn’t have been surprised.
Okay, whoever did this was probably the same person who turned on the robot that removed Brass’ organs and maybe have been the one who sent out Hank to save Blackjack. Looks like she has an unknown ally.
Even animals know to run away from danger.
Rampage can be a real insensitive jerk, can’t see? I know that’s her way of dealing with bad stuff but still.
Awww, these two.
Oh great, it was one of these education movies that try to scare children straight instead of giving an accurate portrayal.
Seriously, why is bloodthirsty raider the reasonable one in this group?
And here we are seeing the Blackjack way of dealing with problems. Pretending everything is fine until you break down.
Although I do wonder at what point this addiction started. Feels like it came out of nowhere but then again, P-21 is good at hiding this kind of stuff.
It's supposed to be reassuring but it sounds extremely creepy. Also, we’ve seen that Boo is smart enough to run away from danger. Not sure if she’s unique or if all Blanks could develop similar survival instincts given enough time.
Getting kind of creepy here Goldenblood!
Fuck, that’s the last thing anybody should do. But again, if Scotch’s live is one the line and he could save her, I can understand this.
Although, I remember the vision and what he did to Glory. Can they actually thrust him not to do something nasty that will turn Scotch into a monstrosity after a month?
I mean letting the guy just walk away after everything he did is wrong. You don’t even know what else he would do.
These are ponies. You can’t expect them not to break into a song for longer than a week.
Did Sanguine hit her? That’s a new low even for him.
She knows what guns are and how to use them. When die she learn that? This absolutly proves that she’s not just an animal.
Again, blaming other for his actions. It’s not like he hasn’t been killing ponies before meeting Blackjack.
And here’s the tragic backstory.
You know, not every bad guy needs to have a tragic event in his live to become evil. Some people just use others as stepping stones to get what they want.
Also, Sanguine is an idiot.
He had nothing to gain by lying to Blackjack. If he had told her the truth she may have believed him, she may have not. Heck, she worked with the guy who he’s responsible for branding Glory as a Dashite after he told her about his noble intentions. It's at least worth a try.
But pretending to be an evil scientist who wants to do evil stuff basically ensured that Blackjack would’ve never worked with you ever.
No you fucked it up yourself, because you acted like a monster. Doesn’t matter how many families he killed, they weren’t his so it didn’t matter.
You know you fucked up when a guy like RedEye despises you for what you’ve done.
Okay, I get not wanting to kill in cold blood. But what else are you supposed to do with him once you’re done. Letting him walk away? That’s spitting in the face of all his victims. Force him to work at the Colligate or some other place for the rest of his life. Make him atone for his crimes and perhaps give him a chance to be better. But please don’t let him just walk away.
Probably the best course of action. Saving Scotch and his innocent family but not handing over a powerful weapon to a guy they can’t thrust.
She has aged well for a hundred-year-old mare.
This… is going to cause a lot of trouble. I know already.
That was unexpected. Since this is an unreformed Discord, who has been locked up and used for experiments he’s probably not as nice as his show version.
Blackjack’s On-screen Body Count: 160*
*Fury, the power-armored Griffon, Brass and the mercenary she threw over the railing into the deadly mist. Not included are non-sapient beings like Hank, the Fatties and the Manticores. Wasn’t sure about including Brass. Technically whoever turned on the Auto-Doc is responsible, but it was Blackjack’s actions that put her into the range of the machine.
----------
It’s interesting to look at Sanguine’s actions now and realize hat he indeed tried to be "reasonable". First, he wanted to buy off the Pipbuck, then attempted to obtain him via the challenge and only sent Brass after him, when Blackjack tricked him. The hostage situation was him getting desperate.
Maybe this is just me reading too much into it, but it feels like he’s supposed to be an example to Blackjack what happens when a Pony desperately wants to win. Sanguine "wining" by saving his family was more important than the lives of others and any moral boundaries. Still even before he got desperate, he was okay with Deus murdering a whole stable, so my sympathies are limited.
Hopefully Sanguine won't get be killed by a bad guy or performs a heroic sacrifice in the next chapter. That would be a cheap way to solve this moral dilemma and allows Blackjack to have her cake and eat it, by staying true to her principals will also not letting him get away.
Show mercy and not killing bad ponies, regardless of their crimes, is admirable. But if you spare them you are responsible. You can’t just send them away and hope for the best. That’s just careless. There’s a reason why real-life prisons attempts to rehabilitate the inmates instead of just throwing them out after they have served their sentence. At least in an ideal world.
I also do like Twilight a lot in this chapter. Finally, we’re seeing the powerful Ministery Mare who’s done with all the bullsith and excesses.
Need to speed-up things and not spend weeks on a single chapter.
Damn, I know Brass was a bitch but that was still pretty brutal...
This sword was definitely touched by the stars or has someone's soul inside. Everytime Blackjack brings it out it just gives a really sinister vibe
Why does she think of P 21 this way? They're relationship seems so complex to me. On one hand they are handy dandy companions that love each other as friends like during the boat scene when P 21 got really fucking pissed at the rapists and Blackjack always being there to cheer up P 21 and defend him like here. But on the other hand Blackjack sees P 21 as a tyrant who would make his own daughter into a breeder? And then there's this. I'm not sure why Blackjack is being so stubborn about P 21's addiction, it's so very interesting.
Oh my God this is so very important. Who's the pony in EC 1101. He's not Blackjacks crazy. Goldenblood? Someone from the past. Someone smart who helps guide Blackjack into making a good decision everytime. It has to be Goldenblood right? But then it might not be him, why would he know how to deal cards? That doesnt sound lime him. Theres no proof. Maybe the scene where dealer looked younger had some clue. I love a good mystery
Sametime? You know I suck at guessing but I really want to believe that dealer is Goldenbood
Holy shit its Discord. Of course, Chimera why didn't I put two and two together. Wait but if Blackjack can access this doesn't it mean she's a relative of the main 6? Or is it based off of whether Dealer likes you or not. Clearly Fluttershy's daughter didn't work so maybe it's up to Dealer? Also I would love a small excerpt of just listening to Dealer shit on physcoshy and just constantly tell her how Blackjack is going to kill all of them. That must have been hilarious.
Also loving Sanguine, glad he isn't just a big bad and it's pretty funny thay Blackjack is aware that he's almost playing a character. Also glad that dropping that crate into him didn't kill him and for once I'm glad Blackjack didn't off him. Wonder if he'll turn a new leaf.
Imagine “Lesson Zero” Twilight, but angry. Really angry. *Hides under the covers*
Talk about job security.
In the end, Fury was just a total washout.
This poor guy was born in the wrong time. Before the war, he could have been an action movie star.
Ok, Scytale.
What passed for drug education in Stable 99
Well, this is terrifying. How far had Luna fallen? Who was the bigger threat between her and Goldenblood? Was Goldenblood trying to save Equestria from Luna? But Agent Monsterpony claimed that the O.I.A. served Luna. Did the O.I.A. break into opposing factions after Goldenblood’s removal? All we’ve seen so far has implied that Horse was abandoned by the old guard and had little real power. But maybe there was another pony leading a splinter group.
Oh boy. Here it comes…
SURE IS CONVENIENT THAT SHE NEEDS THIS BITCH ALIVE TO SAVE SCOTCH
Speaking of wonderful, the buildup to the Discord reveal was fantastic. Truly first class.
Boss fight time? Maybe, maybe not. BUT JUST IN CASE, LET’S SET THE MOOD!
