Does she deserve it? Depend on how you spin the story, mate.
Will she be killed or spared? You again...
Although, he did mentioned something about not wanting to capture her immediately but breaking her spirit first. So, I guess he will spare her and capture right at the edge of death. Kinda like now.
better than, or superior to, unless that was on purpose.
Deserve? When someone forces you to fight for your life, there's only one rule: survive. If you live, you can debate morality later.
If Chris is doing anything wrong, it's wasting too much time neutralizing a single threat. Andrew and Rose might need his help.
5991296 Fixed the spelling error, thanks.
That's not even a question. She killed people. She's getting off light. Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel bad for her when she was begging, you have to remember she's cruel, sadistic, and murderous.
Death would be too nice for her. Remove her wings and her screfula. Make her blind to all magic, and cripple her. Tie her Fallopian tubes, make her infertile so she cannot have children. Make her go through the death of everything at her hooves or by her orders. Then put her on trial and give her life in prison, or as food for the changelings. Never stop her nightmares. And when her death is nigh, send her to Tartarus for eternity. MY work begins then. I wonder how long it'll take for her to attempt suicide during her sentence?
5991513 O_o ... WOW and I thought I was vindictive!
Tsk... This isn't justice, this is Chris taking out his issues on someone he's toying with when he Easily could capture her.
5991523
The Lotus and her mute peasants called me a monster for a reason. I made my lovely Zanuka out of their corpses, I tortured one into a new Warframe, and I made an already extremely dangerous virus infect machines. That is light punishment by my standards, and almost no punishment to Sargas Ruk. That feral dog should've been put down years ago, yet he's in charge of millions of soldiers and mutilating innocents for fun. My brief, heh, vacation to Equestria ended when I was sent to Tartarus; I'd love some new company.
One thing that still bothers me: why was Midnight Haze able to spot Andrew, like that? Does she have super vision like Kaneesha, or did she just get lucky?
5991673 I'm surprised you noticed that.
I'm thinking one of two things.
One, Act of Pure Magic. Deus Ex Mystica. Turn that lesson into something very personal and permanent.
Or two, Something like the Jagan (from Get Backers). The only actual beating was until she surrendered, then the real lesson gets metaphysical.
As far as what she deserves, figure out a way to close her screfula and make it where she can never fulfill her 'destiny'. She took so many others, the punishment needs to fit the crime.
The funny part is he's not using magic to beat her. Brutal.
5991742
Technically he is using magic. They are still in the air if I am right. Still Chris is going a bit far, but with all she has done and was planning... it is a tough call. Chris didn't fully learn his lesson about a few things though.
That was a satisfying read, but don't kill her.
Bring her to trial and have the pain of her victims and their loved ones put into her.
doesn't look right
5992136 I'll have to take a look when I get home. I'm at work right now. Hard to edit on a phone.
Death is too fast and too final for her and her kind. She had send others through the same hell, now she can taste the full portion of her own medicine. Ender's game springs to mind. if someone starts to bully you, you can:
a) go into submission
b) join ranks (if you can)
c) inform the authority (if there is any) in hopes they can help you
d) beat this bully so hard that he will never EVER dare to lay a hand on you again.
This is a victory to win all future conflicts between Chris and Midnight Haze. This bloodmage will never again overstep her boundaries. If she survives this day, it will be one she will remember for the rest of her life. Do not underestimate the importance of such a thing.
I say he'll let her live, patch her up and send her to return back to the others. That's psychological warfare and with this beating they will poison the bloodmages with the most ancient weapon there is:
Fear...
What Chris, this bloody war morale destroyer did there was good old 'Shock and Awe' with sheer overpowering might. M.H. is afraid, fearing for her very life. Dead, she would only be another corpse. Alive, she could be so much more of use. I can already hear the 'Holy shit! A human did this to you in midair?!?'
5991985 What do you mean about Chris not learning his lesson?
5993535
About forcing others to feel the helplessness that they inflict. That is if my memory serves right in the continuity between this and the side story about Chris's tutoring with Luna.
5993592 EXQUISITE connection you made there! Do not worry though, in the next chapter Chris will give everybody a hint of why he went so far. He knows it was extreme, but he had more than one very good reason. Trust me, he took no pleasure in doing what he did.
But what of the mice? Or more plainly, the non-batshit crazy blood mages who skipped out before
5996942 You will see them soon enough.
I think that Midnight Haze and Chris should be bonded like the duo in New Humansville. With time she'll come to see the other side of the coin. The truth. It will be devastating to be sure. That is my hope.
5997043 GOD DAMN IT YOU, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Just kidding. P.M. me please.
Damn. If she lives through this, which I kind of hope she does (somewhat due to sadism, but mostly because of 5997043), she's gonna have one fucked up face.
5998210 We shall see my friend. I'm willing to bet though they'll be able to fix her up. She is a pony after all. Artex was the first human to come into contact with ponies so he was an unknown. Although she might keep a few scars as a physical reminder of past sins.
5998219
True. And even then, the psychological trauma of your face being busted in about as much as is possible without dying should serve as a good reminder, as well.
5998227 Excellent point.
This story is ADDICTING, i need my dose now, wheres more!?!? *panics*
And sure she deserved the relentless pounding, but should not be killed.
6021434 You've... already responded to this before?
6021819 ... derp! My bad.
choking
Great realization from Midnight Haze at the end, that she was nothing but an angry and heartless killer.
6024367 those that kidnap innocence deserve no mercy
I've learned that it's better to have mercy on your beaten foe and throw said foe in a cell...
Hopefully, Midnight Haze isn't beyond redemption. In the meantime, shotgun please for when she fucks up again.
Hmm, it's hard to say whether he's gone overboard. Considering who Chris is fighting and what Midnight Haze and the other bloodmages are doing, I can't say it's too harsh.
I simply worry about Chris and I hope he hasn't lost himself in his anger and hatred. the toughest thing in these battles isn't to win, it's to win without falling down to your opponent's level.
P.S. I enjoyed the battle scene overall, both the duel and the previous one, though I do hope we'll have a much better one, hopefully less one sided as well ;)!
Ugh. I hate animu emotions. It is like human emotion in the same way a doughnut is like a heavy weight boxer.
Completely unlike each other
This chapter made me sick. Chris is guilty of war-crimes many times over. And a bit of schizophrenia writing. He was concerned with civilians in the previous chapter but this one he is Hanibal Lector.
Whatever stuff the bloodmages did, they are not guilty of torture.
Eh i know it is not meant as such... but is this not basically beating the evil out of a confident mare, shattering their self-esteem with loving manly fists, and making them humble?
I can understand logic used there but it is the kind of logic i abhor. Chris is basically an idiot on a power-trip, applying his peasant logic and thinking himself wise.
7035784
That's really the only thing some people understand.
Horrible as it is to say, it's the truth.
The only way to fix some people who're "too far gone" for reason to work is to either FORCE them to want the mercy they never granted their victims, or they die from never coming to that epiphany before the proper application of force drew them to said inevitable conclusion.
Essentially, this is the human equivalent to the Equestrians forcing the memories of the victims on the perpetrator(s).
And personally, I feel this version of treatment is more deserved by racially motivated murderers (especially seeing as how the memories of some their victims are irretrievable thanks to the brains of the melted victims being liquefied beyond memory retrieval from the whole "acid blood" attacks).
If you hate and attack someone just because they're different (not just being cautious, but actively hating and attacking others), you deserve this.
Plain and simple.
This is where the phrase "Beaten within an inch of your life" comes from.
That's exactly what she got, and now she's a better person for it.
And as much as movies, TV shows, media, etc. like to BS the public with the whole "revenge won't make you feel better" spiel, being the person to dish out the punishment to a person who's wronged you or those you care about actually DOES have a calming and almost therapeutic effect.
I say this as someone who has first hand knowledge of this fact, and has been on both sides.
Granted, I didn't endanger any lives, and my life wasn't in danger (well, much danger) in doing so, but DAMN does it help you sleep like a baby when you're in the right!
When you were the one in the wrong, you're also sure to remember what happened, and that reminder forces you to re-evaluate what you are planning on doing BEFORE you do something stupid.
A good old fashioned righteous anger beat down is the most calming thing in the world, after the fact.
KNOWING that REAL justice (not the BS they spout on episodes of Law and Order or any of that shit) was served.
Knowing that one got off easy, no one escaped a punishment equal to (and/or fitting of) the crime -whether escaping justice by exploiting the legal system or simply having thoughts put in the mind to force a change of perspective without anything to remind one's self later aside from the faded memory- but knowing the person in the wrong will have to live with a physical reminder, and look at it every day in the mirror to remind them every day to NEVER do it again.
THAT is justice.
It's not justice if they don't have some ache or pain every so often to re-imprint the knowledge of having done wrong, and re-affirming the conviction in them to never allow it to happen again (whether that be to allow another to do so, or to make the same mistake again).
Granted, if all you did was steal a candy bar or something from a store owner, the whole memory transfer thing is fine.
But risking or taking a life deserves a far more substantial and lasting punishment.
If you kidnap an infant, murder a ton of innocents, and condemn an entire race, then you SHOULD have to go around for the rest of your life missing an eye, a working ear drum, and a mouth full of teeth.
One look at that hobbling around town, and anyone can point and say: "See that? That's what happened to the last person who murdered someone. That's what happened to the last person who did what you're about to do. And if you don't stop now, we will see to it that the same thing is going to happen to you too. Choose your next move very carefully."
7070450 I find your comment to be highly intellectual and very well thought out. My opinion however, is probably biased seeing as how I agree with your statement.
Not a fan of her calling him a hero. She has a justification in her own head for her actions. She should think him the villain of the piece, and believe everything she did was either morally just or the only choice she had in the first place.
