Episode 51: Take Me Away Copper! (Die Horde Part 3)
Flash slips into his native tougne of Germaneigh-ish in panic.
The first thing you do when seeing Flash is exclaim your excitement, he was an alright guy even though you took him hostage and beat him down.
You smile at seeing Flash Sentry again as you say,
"Flash! Oh buddy, oh pal, oh... uh... great guy! You are just the pony I'm looking for!"
Flash just stares at you before he shouts out in panic and in... some language you don't know,
"Heilige Geld! Was das Geld machst du hier ?! Vielleicht haben Sie in der Innenstadt in der Nähe des Hoofball Stadion gesichtet wurden! (Holy buck! What the buck are you doing here?! I thought you were spotted at downtown near the Hoofball stadium)!"
You look at him in confusion before asking,
"Um...can you repeat that in Equestrian pleas-?"
But, instead of answering your question like a polite stallion would, he charges at you with his hoof up in a attempt to hit you...
"Would you kindly CHILL!" you say as you whip out the Power Glove and freeze the stallion in place into a Sentry-sickle.
"Look, bud, I'd love to hang out, maybe catch up on how it's been going, but I really don't have the time. There's an insane ex-supporter of mine who plans on unleashing his forces on Fillydelphia and slaughtering millions of ponies. I sort of need your help sorting this one out."
"GRBBBBHGRBHGRGHB!" Flash says with chattering teeth.
The waifu stealer is trapped under a layer of ice. I don't think he can- Selena says before she's suddenly interrupted by the voices of a legion of angry fanponies crying out in your head,
Kill the waifu stealer! Castrate him with fire! He was mind-controlled into being a jerk to Twilight in Rainbow Rocks so he must die screaming
You just had to say that Selena... AND SHUT UP ALREADY! I'M NOT GONNA KILL HIM! you mentally reply in annoyance as you melt Flash out of his icy prison causing him to gasp and pant, rapidly sucking in air.
"You're going to hyperventilate if you keep that up-*thud*" you say before Flash tackles you to the ground while your guard is down.
"You," he hisses.
"Yeah, me." you sarcastically reply, "Look, I'd love to do this whole 'epic fight between the criminal and the law' thing, but we're kind of on a schedule here. So would you kindly telekinesis!"
You lift Flash into the air with telekinesis and turn to leave with Flash floating behind you. He starts flailing around to no effect.
"Hey, dude," you say. "Do me a solid and tell me where Cadence's husband is. I need him too."
"Huh?" Flash asks in confusion as he was too busy flailing to pay attention. You didn't notice this so you say,
"Fine, if you want us to waste several hours searching while you play dumb, then that's what I'll do."
You flip Flash upside down so the blood rushes to his head before continuing,
"You're fine if I carry you like this, right?"
Flash just glares at you before he growls,
"Put. Me. Down."
You just smirk at him before saying,
"How bout I shake you like a bartender shakes instead of stirs a spy's drink instead until you agree to cooperate. Okay?"
He just continues to glare at you so you shrug your shoulders and grin evilly beneath your hood before saying in a sing-song voice,
"I don't hear a no..." before you start to violently shake the orange Pegasus like a maraca.
...I don't know how ponies conduct interrogations these days, but back in my day we'd ask them questions BEFORE getting rough... Selena snarks,
Oh... you think sheepishly, Yeah... I probably should've-
KILL THE WAIF-
SHUT UP! you mentally say before you stop shaking Flash and put him right side up,
"Now uh... where’s Shining Armor at?" you ask.
Flash shakes his head to rid himself of the birds fluttering around before saying
"The Fillydelphia Royal Guard Station of course, where else do you think he would be after you murdered Iron Shield!"
*Snap*
“Okay Bucko, let’s get one thing perfectly straight here.” you say to him in a serious/angry tone, “I. Didn’t. Kill. Anyling!”
“Oh sure, the leader of this branch of the guard's has an accident after Internal Affairs starts looking into him, and Equestria’s "Self-Proclaimed So-called Vigilante" just so happens to be here.” he snarks.
“That’s just a coincidence- wait, internal affairs?" you say in confusion.
“Yeah, Iron Shield, hay... most of the Fillydelphian guard aren't what you would call clean, but you already know that don't you?”
“Stained shields? Really? Wow, this really is starting to feel like a thriller flick situation... but that’s not the point, I didn't have anything to do with this!” you reply as your glowing eyes die down.
“Then what do you call this?” he asks as he reaches into his armor and pulls out a card with the symbol of the Horde on it, “found right here at the scene of the accident?
“Da Buck?” you ask as you actually look around you and see that the alleyway seems to have a lot of explody parts everywhere with yellow guard tape wrapped around the area.
Wow, how did I not notice that before? you think to yourself.
“Yeah, the Fillydelphian Guards wrapped this case up as an accident only an hour after it occurred, so Captain Armor sent me out here for a second opinion, and I find this, not even remotely hidden. How do you explain that?” he asks.
“The Guards are highly incompetent?” you guess.
“That would be a good guess, if it weren't for the fact that half the guards here are dirtier than an Earth Pony Farmer.”
“Hey, that’s species-ist!” you exclaim, seeing as how your family happens to be exactly that.
He gets a guilty look on his face,
“Sorry! That’s my grandfather talking, not me!” he shakes his head and gets serious again, “But yeah, obviously you got some Guards on your payroll, and you left this just for spite!” he exclaims before he takes advantage of your distracted mind to break out of telekinesis and tackle right into you.
“Oh for the love of... would you kindly CHILL THE BUCK OUT?” you yell as you buck him off you and freeze him again in midair,
“Oh come on!” he yells as his ice-covered body hits the ground on its side.
“Now listen, I know you’re not as stupid as your last boss, so read my lips when I say this again; I... DIDN'T... KILL... ANYLING!!!! GOT IT?!”
“But the card-” he tries to continue before you interrupt,
“It’s not mine, it was left here by the true culprit.”
“Really? And who would that be?” he asks in a deadpan tone that says he doesn't believe you.
“His name is Flag Burner, or at least that’s what others call him, and he is the leader of the Horde faction here.”
Flash’s eyes open in realization.
“I’ve heard that name... he recently sent out threatening letters to each of the Element Bearers and all three of the Princesses...”
“Oh that son of a... Grrrr... I’m going to slap him even harder for that...but ya, he's your true culprit.”
“But... he's one of your own so then you are still are responsible for th-”
"NO! I’M NOT!" you roar in the RCV as you angrily bring down both hooves on Flash's ice causing him obvious discomfort, "This nutjob is using me as an excuse to get what he wants! Hay, he just tried to leave me in a dark cell to die because I didn't think how he thought I would.”
“He...”
“And now he’s going to do something worse, he’s going to kill a lot of ponies tonight.”
Flash gasps at this info.
“I don’t know how, or where, but it’s going to be tonight! And that's why I need to talk to Armor, we need to work together before it's too late, and sitting here playing the blame game won’t help us anytime soon!”
Flash gets a contemplative look on his face for a few moments before saying,
“...OK, I'll help you, just unfreeze me OK?”
"Deal." you say as you unfreeze him.
While Flash is stretching his joints to see if they still work after you froze them, but he looks at you in surprise when you suddenly say,
"If the whole bucking Guard here are dirty. I have half the mind to beat them all straight."
Flash sighs as he says,
"Look Offender, I'm with you there. But we don't have any evidence showing that they are dirty. Plus, we have bigger problems if what you told me is true. Flag Burner is the main priority for now so we can worry-"
"You mean beat up." you interrupt,
Flash glares at you for your outburst before saying,
"Worry about the guard here later."
You sigh in defeat before saying,
"Fine."
You then smile mischievously before you say in a high-pitched voice...
>> SnapDrakeGames
This happens, but I recommend that it be modified so that Bugze pulls a "Play Along Prisoner" and lets himself get arrested by Flash to get an audience with Shining (I highly doubt the version of Flash in this story would break under interrogation AND Bugze being a "Play Along Prisoner" will make things simpler as I highly doubt he could just walk into Royal Guard HQ without getting dogpiled)
Flash gives you a confused look before saying,
"What are you d-" he suddenly pauses when he realizes what the tune you're saying is and gives you an angry look and angrily says, "I swear on my badge that you better not-"
“FLASH!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH! SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERS-*whack crash*!” you shout before Flash bucks you in the head knocking you into some nearby garbage cans.
"Ow! The Buck was that for?” you exclaim.
“You know how many times I had to hear that at school and in Boot Camp?! I'm sick of it!” he snarls.
“Oh come on,” you say as you get back up, “Flash Gorgon is a great hero, I'm complimenting you.”
“Flash Gorgon is a stupid corny series...” he snaps.
You just stare at him in silence *snap* before you suddenly slap him on the snout.
“Ow!”
“Learn to take a compliment man, and don't you ever dis one of my favorite larvae-hood flicks again.” you say with glowing eyes, “Now, enough wasting time, onward to the station!”
You start to take a few steps before he grabs your cloak and says,
“You can’t just walk into the station, not when we don’t know who to trust and especially not with Equestria's most wanted just waltzing in!”
“Oh, that makes sense...” you say aloud, “What do you suggest?
Flash smirks evilly before holding up a pair of cuffs. You stare at them for a bit before saying,
"Oh no, your not suggesting that I..."
Flash just nods his head as he says,
"Yep."
Your about to object to his idea, but you just sigh and put your hooves out towards Flash.
"You're under arrest." Flash says. Remembering one of your favorite comedies, you then suddenly say,
"No! It wasn't me! It was the one-limbed mare!"
You then start saying defiantly,
"All right, I confess! I did it, ya hear? And I'm glad, glad I tell ya!"
You then suddenly drop to your knees and beg,
"What are they gonna do to me, Sarge? What are they gonna do?!"
Flash just chuckles slightly at your reference and says,
"Sorry son, that's not my department." as he puts the cuffs on you and starts 'escorting' you to where you guess the police station is.
I hope this works... you think before you suddenly hear...
Flash and a shackled you make your way to the Police Station when,
"Halt!"
You both freeze when approached by a trio of Royal Guard, a unicorn and an earth pony (who looks oddly familiar...) being led by a... Zebra
The Zebra introduces himself as "Second Liutenant Alonzo" (and for some reason says "King Kong ain't got Horseapples on me!") while you both finally remember that the Earth Pony is Strong Head.
Flash exposes the trio as "stained shields" with wordplay.
Flash turns to you before suddenly body-checking Alonzo. You catch on and attack the other two with a "Psycho Crusher" and tackle them both into the wall.
Interrogate Alonzo with vise-grips to the tounge and say "Allons-y Alonzo!" and find out that FLag Burner put a bounty on your head.
"HALT!"
You and Flash turn over in surprise and see a trio of Royal Guard coming your way. One of them is the usual white coated unicorn, the other is another unicorn stallion who looks awfully familiar, but what's really strange is what looks to be the leader of the trio; a zebra.
I thought solar-flanks only had ponies in her guard? Also, why can't I help but feel that something is off about this trio...
The trio finally reach you as the Zebra gives Flash a salute before saying,
"Second Lieutenant Alonzo at your service Lieutenant Flash!"
Flash says,
"At ease Lieutenant, why are you here with the two privates?"
Before the Zebra can say anything, the unicorn suddenly shouts,
"YOU KNOW WELL WHY WERE HERE PRIVATE- S*smack*"
His outburst is cut short when the other unicorn slaps him in the back of the head.
But you and Flash's eyes widen in surprise as you both think the same thing,
I know that annoying whining shout anywhere... Strong Head!
You get on the defensive (well, as munch you can with cuffs on) as Flash suddenly asks,
"So... how are those new black-cherry filled donuts at Rick's?"
Alonzo gets a confused look before responding,
"Never heard of it. Why do you ask?"
Flash just smiles innocently before saying,
"Oh no reason..."
*wham*
And the next thing you know, Flash body checkss Alonzo. You, Strong Head, and the other unicorn look at the two in surprise, but then Flash shouts,
"OFFENDER! THEY'RE STAINED SHIELDS!"
You look at him in confusion as he tackles Alonzo when the latter reaches for his dagger,
"So their armor's a bit dirty, that doesn't mean-"
He means they are corrupt you imbecile. Even thy dull mind has seen enough 'loose-cannon guard' flicks to know what that term means... Selena chimes in.
"Ohhhhh..." you say in oblivious realization,
*snap*
...before you turn your glowing orange eyes on the two traitors. They look at you in fear as you say,
"Well boys, I've just been backstabbed so I ain't in any patient mood for traitors." you crack your neck before continuing, "And traitors deserve no second thought, only their complete annihilation..."
The two unicorns draw their swords,
"PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
But you spin smash into the two unicorns, slamming them both into the wall and knocking them out cold. You turn back to Flash and see him holding the corrupt Zebra against the wall,
"What are you doing here?!" Flash interrogates,
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Alonzo scoffs, "King Kong ain't got horseapples on me! What's a goody-two-boots gonna do-*clack*alhhh!"
He's suddenly interrupted when you levitate your vise-grips on his tongue and threaten,
"If you don't say something useful soon, I'm gonna rip your dirty tongue out and replace it with a chili pepper!" and tug on the vise grips for emphasis,
*twack*
Before Flash slaps your horn forcing you to drop the vise grips as you rub your throbbing and dizzy horn,
"Owwww! What was that for!"
"That's an against-regulations interrogation!" Flash says, "It's not admissible in court!"
"Buck the courts! I'm gonna make this bucker sing even if I need to use his nards as cymbals!"
Before Flash could respond, Alonzo shakes in fear before saying,
"Okay, okay! We... we came after you because the Horde has put a 1,000 bit open bounty for whoever can kill the False Offender."
You stare him for awhile before saying,
"Well thanks for the info, now Allons-y Alonzo to La La land! PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
And with that, you knock him into the wall where he slumps onto the downed unicorns.
Even after that slight headache, you can't help but comment,
"Nice work on the 'good guard bad guard' routine Flash."
"You are a bad guard." Flash snarks.
"Very funny- Wait...1,000 bits! Only 1,000 stinking bits! I'm worth way more than that!"
Flash looks at you strangely as he ties up the stained shields and asks,
"Why are you upset about that?"
You sigh as you say,
"I'm upset because you'd think after all I've been though, Flaming Nut could at least give me a decent bounty! Buggy the Clown Pirate has more bits on his head then me and he sucks at being a pirate! The only reason he's a decent pirate in the show at all is his Bara Bara no Mi powers. I've got a glove of mass destruction, the power to see far away (referring to Zoom), decent magic, and the power t level whole buildings! Can't that psycho put a higher bounty on me!"
Flash just stares at you before laughing and saying,
"While it was a funny One Piece reference, the bounty he has on you is probably better in your case compared to the one Celestia has on you."
You look at him confused and ask,
"I thought my bounty was still at 756,000 bits?"
Flash laughs slightly as he finishes tying up the unconscious traitors. He then turns towards you and says,
"Offender, your bounty is now 8,675,309 Bits."
Your jaw drops as you yell in surprise,
"WHATTTTTT?!"
Flash just sighs as he drags your now cuffed hooves towards the police station. Along the way you ask,
"By the way, just how were you able to tell those Guards were dirty?"
Flash smirks and says,
"Elementary my lame hooded suspect; Royal Guards typically have a set patrol path and schedule and thus always and only go to the Donut Shop within their patrol radius. Rick's is the closest doughnut place to where we were ate and the fact that Alonzo didn't know what that place was proof that he's out of his jurisdiction and possibly stained."
"That's actually pretty clever..."
"Thanks... But I don't think that means much coming from somepony who's plans involve sneaking into places by pretending to be a living box." Flash snarks, "Plus I have to spend Hearth's Warming Eve away from my mother and little brother thanks to you." he grumbles bitterly.
"Oh sorry about that..." you apologize guilty-ly.
Note to self: Get Nightshade her first Hearth's Warming Eve present...
ONE WALK LATER
You are lead into the station as “Flash’s Prisoner”. You start screaming crazy things at the top of your lungs that make you sound extremely insane.
“What you got there flyboy?” asks a guard.
“Another lunatic claiming to be the offender, these guys just keep coming out the woodwork.”
“I LIKE CHEESE!” you yell, “ALIENS STOLE MY BRAIN! THE ELVES IN MY NOSE ARE FILTHY COMMIES!”
Everyone just assumes you are a nutjob as he puts you in an interrogation room.
“Alright, sit tight while I grab the captain.”
“DON’T EAT MY MOTHER IN LAW!” you yell
“You don’t have to keep doing that.” He chides
“Sorry, kind of got lost in the moment.”
As Flash leads a hoofcuffed you into the station (with him carrying the Inventory), you start screaming crazy things at the top of your lungs that make you sound extremely insane,
"Attica! Attica! My name is Michael J Caboose and I. Hate. Babies!"
“What you got there flyboy?” asks a guard.
“Another lunatic claiming to be the offender, these guys just keep coming out the woodwork-”
“I LIKE CHEESE!” you yell, “ALIENS STOLE MY BRAIN! THE ELVES IN MY NOSE ARE FILTHY COMMIES!”
"Four doors on the left" the guard bluntly says.
As you are dragged into a interrogation room by Flash you see your Wanted Poster which looks the same as it used to back when you first saw it with... her, but the picture has been updated to have your Horde symbol next to your picture, the newer bounty price, and some new reasons for arrest. Due to the fact that you were still being dragged by Flash, you didn't have time to read it, but you did spot new charges like, "Mass hypnosis without a permit" and "Assisting Discord"
"For the last bucking time, I DIDN'T DO THAT!!!" you yell in annoyance as Flash roughly shoves you into a chair.
“Alright, sit tight while I get the captai-”
“DON’T EAT MY MOTHER IN LAW!” you yell.
“You don’t have to keep doing that.” He bluntly chides.
“Sorry, kind of got lost in the moment...” you sheepishly say before Flash rolls his eyes and leaves the room.
When Flash returns, Shining Armor walks into the room with a disgusted look on his face.
“I almost couldn't believe it when Flash told me, but here you are...”
“Hey Captain... how’s Cadence doing?” you cheerfully ask, but the unicorn ignores you as he sits down and Flash stands at attention at the door.
“You have five minutes.” Shining says,
“To what?” you ask.
“To convince me why I shouldn't beat you to a pulp and bring you before the Princesses and the Elements for judgement.”
You gulp at that, because his eyes are scary looking, but then you say,
“Well 1. The last time you tried that it didn't end well for anyling, and 2. Like I told Savior of the Universe here,” Flash growls at that, “Something bad is about to happen, and you need to stop it.”
“Care to elaborate Bug?”
“Well...”
You then retell exactly what has happened to you and how this faction of the horde is radical, and how they caused the "accident".
“And that’s about it.” You end.
Shining looks a bit disturbed at this,
“So, a radical faction of your fan club is planning on overthrowing the Princesses and starting a war, all because of the fact that you exist?”
“Oh come on, don’t say it like that!” you wail, "It's all that psycho Flag Burner's idea!"
"I heard that name before..." Shining says in a thinking tone, "The rumors say he's a pony who blames a great personal loss on the Princesses and has sent many angry letters to them... including my wife" he growls at the last part, "But there is no official record of a pony named 'Flag Burner' officially existing..."
He then gets up as he says,
“Well thanks for the information... Bugze.” you gasp as he says this, “But what you've said doesn't really help us much even if it were true. We can’t exactly search the entire city at once, and everywhere is crowded thanks to the Hearth’s Warming Eve shopping. Whatever this 'Flag Burner' has planned could be anywhere.”
“Then start doing sweeps or something!” You exclaim.
“Not to mention, I don’t know who to trust in this city, Anypony could be one of your Horde members.”
“Come on! We have to do something!”
“We are, we are going to place you under arrest and let the whole city know, that should shake things up a bit.” Shining says plainly.
“Oh Come ON!” you yell.
Suddenly, you all hear a loud noise. You all look outside your window to see a giant projected image of a hooded black faceless figure reflected on the cloudy snowy sky.
"Flag Burner..." you growl as you further notice that he is standing on a Hoofball field while other members of the horde (also wearing their hoods and cloaks) stand around him.
“It is just like Batmane Rises! Well, except we can probably understand what he’ll say.” you say aloud.
Shining and Flash shoot you a look before Flag begins speaking,
“Greetings to you ponies of Equestria, and Happy Early Hearth's Warming Eve, I bring to you tidings of joy for I am the Hooded Offender, and I have come to let you know of the changing tide...”
“Oh no,” you say as you watch the projection before you reach across the table, grab Shining, and yell in panic,
"LOOK. YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME NOW OR ALL THOSE PONIES ARE DEAD! WE NEED A PLAN AND WE NEED ONE NOW!"
Flash pulls you off of Shining as the unicorn asks,
"Get a hold of yourself! And why would you suddenly start caring about what happens to ponies?"
You stop as you stare at him in pure despair as you say,
"I... I don't want anypony to die."
Shining sighs before he puts on a thinking face. A few seconds later he says,
"Okay, the plan is-"
What do you do?

NOO!! RIGHT WHILE I WAS PLAYING JUST DANCE 2015 YOU POSTED THE NEW CHAPTER NOW I HAVE TO CHOOSE!!!!
*reads new chapter*
All across the city, projected images of Flag as the HO are playing in every public area. He is standing on a Hoofball field while other members of the horde stand around him.
“It is just like Batmane Rises! Well, except we can probably understand what he’ll say” you say aloud.
Shining and Flash look at you before Flag begins speaking.
“Hello to you ponies of Equestria, and Happy Early Hearths Warming, I bring to you tidings of joy. I am the Hooded Offender, and I have come to let you know of the changing tide.”
“Oh no,” you say as you watch the projection.
“I have come to save you from the oppression of a False Goddess, to lead you into the light, and away from the darkness of her shadow.”
“OK, see? Right there, I don’t talk like that. Do I?”
“Well...” Flash and Shining say.
“I am not a monster my little ponies, but a savior. Soon…we will all be free, free from the oppression of forced Harmony, free from the hypocrisy of it all. And so, on this day, the 5th of November, I hope you all remember as the first stepping stone towards a new world order.”
“This guy is nuts” you hear Flash say.
“And that first step, will begin with him…”
He steps aside and reveals a battered and bruised looking stallion.
“Tell them your name” Flag says.
“I…I am Iron Shield…Leader of the Fillydelphian Guard.
“He’s alive?” you say.
“There was no body found in the wreckage…” Shining says.
“And why are you here?”
“Because…because I have failed this city…” he says with tears in his eyes.
“And why is that?” asks Flag in his monotone.
“I…I let things slide…I took bribes…I betrayed the law...Oh please, I know I wasn’t very good, but please…think of my family. Please spare me.”
“I am thinking of your family Shield…or more specifically, your unwanted son…the one born to your mistress.”
“You hear a lot of gasps at that exclamation.”
Shield puts his head down in shame.
“His mother died when he was young, and she never received help from you. But he was a tough boy and he endured. He came to me you know, a scrawny looking colt who had to beg on the streets to make ends meet…he told me he would make his father proud one day.”
Shield begins to cry.
“Such a sweet young colt…he was hit by a runaway carriage and died of his injuries…and I didn’t see you at his funeral.”
“Yeesh.” You says aloud as you see Shield bawling.
“I’m Sorry…” Shield mutters.
“I know you are,” Flag says as he puts a hoof on his shoulder.
“But change requires sacrifice, and you will be the first of many” he continues.
Flag then grabs the stallions head and snaps his neck, killing him.
“Holy Buck!” you scream and you hear many others screaming across the city.
Shining and Flash look unnerved at what they’ve just witnessed.
“That is but a taste of the evil we will uproot tonight. Shining Armor, I know you are watching…you are a weapon of the Tyrant… yet you are a noble soul. I ask you to join or cause…or join Shield…if you have the courage, come to me…We’ll have a nice little talk…You have 15 Minutes…Remember Remember the 5th of November.”
The Projections stop, and now you are extremely angry.
“Someone died in my name…You are dead Flag…” you growl to yourself.
Now thoroughly convinced, Shining says to one of the Fillydelphian gaurds.
“Get Everyone to the Stadium, we have to evacuate it immediately.”
“Everyone sir?”
EVERYONE!!!!” Shining yells in anger.
“Sir Yes Sir!” he salutes and runs out.
Shining then looks to another guard.
“We need a bomb disposal team at the ready”
“Sir!” the guard says then flies off.
Flash says to him “Sir, I thought we didn’t know who to trust?”
“Whether they’re stained or not is beside the point, we only have 15 minutes!” he exclaims
Now that things seem in order, you try to get going.
“Alright, glad that things are running smoothly, now you stay here and let me handle thi…”
“All of a sudden you are held up against the wall by Shining’s magic as Flash puts a spear in your face.”
“Just because this has happened, doesn’t mean you’re going free,” Shining growls.
“What?” you yell, “Oh come on! You Need my help to stop this guy!”
“I don’t need your kind of help, this is a matter for the guards to handle, not you.”
“I am literally one of the most powerful fighters in the freaking land! And this guy is killing in my name, I think it’s pretty much my business too!” you shout.
Flash pokes the spear into your cheek a bit, “I heard you mumbling to yourself, we are not going to allow you to kill this Flag Burner!”
Your eyes glow orange at that.
“HE…KILLED…A…GUARD!!!” you shout as your voice throws them back a few steps. “A Stallion with a family! He’s going to kill more, including you! And I will make him pay!” you growl.
“Shining squints his eyes at you. “That’s not for you to decide Offender! There are laws that must be followed, we will take him alive if possible so that he can face justice…I will bring him down, not you!”
“Justice?! I AM JUSTICE!!!” you scream in exasperation. “YOU OWE ME ARMOR!!! I’m the one who kept Cadance alive, unless you’ve forgotten that too!”
He sneers at that.
“Cadance has told me that…said that you are just one big misunderstood kindly soul…but even if that is the case, I’m not just going to allow you run off and kill a stallion. Every time you get involved, mass amounts of destruction occurs.”
“If I don’t get involved, a lot more will die! You Will DIE! Don’t you understand that!” you yell.
“I can take care of myself, besides, you said it yourself, you’ve never taken a life before…if you do this now, no past kindness nor any so called good deeds will make up for it…you are staying here, whether in chains or not is up to you…”
You roll your eyes.
“Yeah?” you ask as you take a breath, “Well Buck You Too!” you yell before Giving a Big
FUS RO DAH!
Shining hits his head and gets knocked out, so you walk over to him and say
“Sorry Shiny, this is for your own goo…” you are interrupted when Flash tries to whack you upside the head with his spear. You look at him angrily as he probably left a welt.
“That should have knocked you out!” he exclaims.
“I’m Lady Luck’s punching bag,” you say as you grab his spear and hit him upside the head, knocking him to the ground. “I'm used to taking her hits.”
You then get in Flash’s face and say.
“Now you be a good soldier and watch after your Captain, I have a maniac to stop.” You then walk over to the window before Flash calls back.
“You don’t want to do this!” he yells.
“I’m pretty sure I do” you snark.
“Taking another’s life will change you, and not for the better! Please don’t!” he pleads.
You remember a motto from when you were a drone under your former Queen and say it grimly back.
“Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth…blood for blood…Revenge solves everything…”
You then Jump out the window and run towards the stadium amongst panicking ponies.
As you run, Selena chimes in.
“Bugze…your thoughts begin to darken…”
“I learned from the best,” you snark at her.
“I concur that this Stallion deserves death…but…”
“What?!” you angrily think.
“I don’t know, it’s just that…You…finally walking this path I originally wanted…it just seems…wrong somehow.”
You growl aloud and say, “Right or wrong doesn’t matter anymore, that psycho is going to get his!”
“I…as you wish,” you hear her say in hesitation, “I will stand by you no matter what…I just hope Night Shade will understand” she adds in, causing you to hesitate in your dark thoughts for a moment.
“I…GRAGH! Fine! Flag is still going to bleed though!” you tell her.
“That is fine with me…” she says a bit more cheerfully.
You can’t believe it’s come to the point where she is calming you down. She’s come a long way.
Along the way, you see looters stealing stuff, so you freeze them and save some innocent ponies from being robbed.
As you near the stadium though, you see what looks like an army of guards surrounding it.
“Huh, Armor wasn’t kidding when he said Everyone.”
“There he is!” someone shouts
“Huh?”
“There’s that murderer!”
“No it’s a false one, kill him and get the bounty!”
You then see that almost every single guard is looking at you. You even see a bunch of news ponies with News Reels filming you.
“Oh Buck Me! Flag Burner, you are so going to pay for this.”
"Time to pay for your crimes Offender!"
"Put it on my tab!" you yell as you pull out your Armored Shell tonic and down it.
It actually tastes pretty good, like Mello Yello, but then you start feeling your bones and skin hardening and you whither on the floor in agony as the guards look at you startled.
Eventually you catch your breath as the sensation stops and look up at them.
“What did you just do?” asks one.
“Just took some points in Damage reduction,” you say cryptically before you leap at him headbutting him, hard and knocking him out. It still hurts you, but not as much as it normally would.
"So..." you shake your head, "Who's next?"
The guards harden there expressions and prepare to charge you.
You have to get inside before it’s too late. Time to fight some guards.
Correction:
Heilige Scheiße! (Holy shit, don't know the direct translation of holy buck, but I think you didn't mean holy money.)
Was zur Hölle(hell, or Scheiße if you want to continue with shit) machst du hier ?! Ich dachte du wurdest in der in der Innenstadt in der Nähe des Hoofball-Stadions gesichtet! (Vielleicht means perhaps / maybe, and I don't think Flash uses the polite 'Sie', you use that when talking to your boss or royalty, but not for a criminal you chase.)
(Holy shit! What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were spottet at downtown near the Hoofball stadium!)
That's all I can say to Germaneighponese.
Maybe it's not exactly like our German, but I can atleast try, right?
I mean by that, my German is correct, but maybe Germaneighponese isn't like our German.
Ya know what? fucking banish him yourself if you have to before this gets even more out of hand. If he's going to cause a revolution just because of his own views, then there's no reason to hold back on him.
"...the plan is: You, Bugze, run in there in Guard-uniform and cry: 'I will not let you do that! You shall fall Flag Burner!' then he and all the other horde-members attack you and I can stop them with a mass-paralyse-spell. Yes, what is it Bugze?" Shining Armor states proudly.
"Your plan sucks. I got a better plan: We sneak on top of a nearby building, and assasinate him with a bow and arrows!" You tell him.
"What? The pegasus-horde-members would spot us if we'd do that! That plan is ridiculous! Well then, how about you disguise yourself as a citizen and cry and shout like a panicking citizen, and remarkably insane one at that, shouting things like: 'The world will be destroyed! The Forgetting will get us all! Because the Forgetting is everywhere and strikes fast! The Forgetting is unstoppable!' You know, things like that, and then you try to attack him with an item you pick up from one of the shops, and then Flag Burner laughs and I can use my bow to kill him from a nearby side-alley!" Shining Armor says, countering your bad plan with another plan.
"GUYS!" Flash Sentry suddenly shouts "Could you help me defeating the stained shields that are attacking us through the door?"
"Very funny" Shining Armor answers while still looking at you "Shields don't attack, you know? And with what should the shields be stained, with orange-juice?"
You facehoof, and then tell him: "Flash means traitors with stained shields."
"Oh. Well, I'm coming to help you, Flash!" Shining tells Flash, just for Flash to answer:
"Now it's too late. Now I have beaten them all. How about you 2 just stop your bickering about the plan we are going to use and just use my plan?"
You raise your hoof, and after Flash said: "Yes, Bugze?" you ask: "What is your plan?"
Flash shuckles and says: "My plan is, you, Bugze, go to the shop for baking goodies that is directly next to the hoofball stadion. There you will find a decent amount of fireworks in the owner's sleepingroom's 2nd desk to the right. Then you place them around the hoofball stadion and fire them off, creating a sight to be truly behold! Then you rush in, disguised as a citizen, and shout: 'THIS IS THE TRUE DISASTER TWILIGHT HAD TO PREVENT FROM HAPPENING! NOW THAT IT HAPPENED, WHO IS GOING TO SAFE US, AFTER TWILIGHT FAILED, AND US BEING HERE ON THE FILLYDELPHIA HOOFBALL-STADION WITHOUT ANY WAY TO PREVENT THIS?', and you Shining Armor, you will sneak into the mass of spectators and cast a spell that will record that to Ponyville. And then you shoot with a bow onto Flag Burner, who will be too surprised to dodge your arrow, or even if, Twilight will teleport instantly thanks to the announcement of Bugze to the Hoofball-Stadion, and attack Flag Burner, who she thinks is the Hooded Offender, together with the other elements with the Elements of Harmony. Any questions?"
You are surprised to hear Shining Armor ask the following: "How do you know Twilight has been trying to prevent a disaster? YOU READ THE LETTERS SHE SENT ME AGAIN,didn'tcha?"
"Um, maybe?" Flash answers, right before being hit by Shining Armor: "After we have solved this crisis, you're gonna pay for looking into my personal files. But for now, that plan sounds appropriate. Oh, and none of you will say that somepony was able to look into my personal files, understood?"
Needless to say, you were not only terrified but also overvoted.
----Later----
*One orange 'There are 10
kinds of ponies, the one knows the binar numbersystem, the other doesn't.' clothing added to your inventory*
"THIS IS THE TRUE DISASTER TWILIGHT HAD TO PREVENT FROM HAPP-autsch!" you scream in agony, as an energybolt struck your side.
"Oh no, you don't get the Elements to show up here, you coward!" Flag Burner shouts, while running towards you, being interrupted a metre before you by a purple flash, revealing Twilight and the others: "I WILL PREVENT THE DISASTER!" ,Twilight shouted right before using the anti-magic-spell on Flag Burner.
She and the others then proceeded to use their Elements of Harmony on him, just to hit a random pony, who was later discovered to be a serial killer who first burned his victims, then either broke of their horn, or cut off their wings or cut off their legs, needless to say he stayed petrified. I heard he made a nice statue in the Royal Canterlot Garden later.
"You will not defeat me by such simple tactics, bearers of the Elements!" Flag Burner shouts, from now in the mass of spectators, next to the unicorn who teleported him away from the Rainbow of Destruction, before being teleported with his ally away.
"What a coward! Such a shame I couldn't beat the Offender's butt this time, but soon..." Rainbow Dash mutters, while Twilight comes to you and asks: "So, how did you knew I was trying to prevent a disaster?"
"Umm, I'm a psychic?" you say, just to get greeted by a laugh:
"No, you're most likely not."
"It was in the newspaper?" you try, just to hear another chuckle:
"Nice try, but... no. I checked the newspaper." Twilight tells you, smiling evilly. She then closes the distance between your face and hers and asks: "I'll ask a last time: How did you knew that I was trying to prevent a disaster?"
You then try to be as small as possible and tell her: "Flash had looked into Shining's personal files and read the letters you sent Shining, and then he told me so I would shout it here, as part of his plan to defeat the Offender."
After that Twilight's face becomes very red, and you would swear, if you wouldn't know it's absurd, that she mutters: "How often do I have to tell Shiny that he has to hide his personal files better? I can't believe Flash read them again! I couldn't tell Shiny anything important without Flash finding out! That's just restricting what I can tell Shiny about in my letters! That's just disastrous, if Flash read my latest letter..., wait, what if that is the disaster? If he would read that letter then it would be truly disastrous!" before teleporting away.
You then sneak away, and change back into your Doctor's clothing, while everybody was watching your firework.
As I was reading the comments I realized I was using GLaDOS as my mental voice for Selena. I did play trough the main story for Portal 1&2 in the last 3 days. And I'm thinking with portals. Great. Anyone know a cure for Portal overdose?
If all else fails, get thrown. Like a Hoof ball. Good thing Shining Armor is good at the sport. But unbeknownst to Bugze, Shining and Flash intends to arrest him when he does his part. The changling is a loose cannon, he's too dangerous to be left alone.
Kill Flag burner! Just as how he kill other ponies! Charge!
''we should make him eat til he is sick and puke and eat even more...'' Says a random gaurd in the backround
''Thats a stupid idea mine is totally better'' says gaurd number 4
''Lets hear it then'' says gaurd number 1
'' Ok we are gonna have him watch the intire movie... Twlight'' says Gaurd number 4
Some group somewhere gasps
Some gaurd thought... I liked twlight Sad face
Guard number 12345 ''Now some kid voice comes in'' There was a war about cookies and pudding Wonder where pudding comes from Anyway We need 10 Blood Accd-+ DONT WORRY I AM A DOCTER well no i am a Animal vet basicly the same thing and for the last time DONT WORRY I AM A PET VET
Dont ask me about this i was high... i was on a escolator ok? i am afraid of heigts
Shining Armor decides to throw Bugze at Flag Burner from the top of the Hoofball field!
Bugze is seen in public defeating Flag Burner, and he becomes famous in his goodness, a 'Paragon to All Good Ponies'. He says his name is BST, so the Hooded Offender has a giant bounty on his head and BST is a great famous Superhero... Talk about living a double life!
"HOLD IT!" you yell as loud as you can. Shining stops to look at you with a disgruntled face.
"What is it?", he says with agitation in his voice. You smile and say with most politest voice you can conjure.
"I need to pee, like badly! I haven't gone in hours!"
"Can't that wait for AFTER we deal with the potential massacre?!" proclaimed Flash with as much annoyance in his voice as his captain.
You really are an idiot...
"Well excuse me for have to hold it all day! Today hasn't left me with many times to use the toilet" you reply to the duo.
"OK! Enough! Just take him the bathroom we can come up with a plan on the way to bathroom!" yelled Shining with a face that said "I ain't have none of this shit today"

This is really great, but I'd modify it that he uses FUS RO DAH to escape the Guard station and then when he reaches the stadium, he chugs down the “Armored Shell” Tonic before deciding to face off against the guards.
Psycho Crusher through the door way into a tiny mob of looters and Falcon Punch the biggest one through a storefront window causing the others to flee.
You notice one of the games that one of the looters dropped and the title catches your eye; Hatred.
"Wait a minute... isn't that the game that was considered so violent that it was banned by Celestia? AWESOME!!! This will be the perfect gift for Nightshade!"
With that, you quickly pocket the game and move on..
"Hatred" video game added to Inventory
==============
Worst Christmas special? Since Eight Crazy Nights wouldn't count...
I think bugze will kill flag brunner by accident or on perpist, then he will be like batman in the end of the dark knight
As Bugze finally gets out of the guard barracks, he starts making his way to the stadium to stop FB.
As he passes an ally he notices a large amounts of crows.
Selena: What is a murder of crows doing in Fillydelphia? I have not seen any since our arrival.
Bugze: Wait! What did you call them?
Selena: A murder of crows? That is the correct term for a group of crows. Have you never heard that term before?l
Bugze: I have in a game. I wonder..
Bugze quickly travels down the alley to find a bottle in the center of the mass of crows. The bottle looks like img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140101020958/bioshock/images/d/d5/Untitled_37.png . You read the back to find this:
"MURDER Of CROWS: Stun and damage your enemies with a thousand needling beaks."
―Fink Manufacturing advertisement
Murder of Crows is a Vigor in BioShock Infinite that gives control over groups of crows. Casting the Vigor sends out a swarm (or 'murder'[1], hence the name) of crows that will attack all enemies in front of the player, momentarily distracting them and dealing continuous minor damage. Charging the Vigor will deploy a crow trap at the target location for twice the Salts cost which, upon detonation, will send out crows to attack every enemy in a wide radius. Murder of Crows is ineffective against automatons.
Bugze: Well this could be useful. *Starts to chug the bottle* Hmmm, tastes kind of like liquorice (which you have always enjoyed even though other changelings never liked it, except for Chrysalis).
You feel a horrible pain running through your body as you look at your arm and swear that you see a crow eating your arm. Then you blink, the crow is gone and there is no pain and no damage to you.
Bugze: Well that was traumatic. Selena, did you see that too.
Selena: I wish i could say no.
Bugze: Well, at least this could be useful for crowd control or distractions. Let's hurry up. We need this plan to work to stop any more death and destruction. And now we have a potential escape method Shining Armor and Flash don't know about, in case they try to arrest me after this.
*After the matter is handled and Armor and Flash try to arrest him*
Bugze: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Activate your Murder of Crows to escape.
In order to get to the field in time someone downs the stations supply of beans, hops on a shopping trolley and...*FART* off you go!
5431802 Wait a minute... at the interrogation scene I already wanted him to have to pee! Nice to see somebody else re-used it, even if unintentionally, later in the same arc.
5431271 Well, MLP-overdose fixes everything. It's like a tap duce for mentality... wait, was it tap duce you should use if it shouldn't move? And what was the thing you should use if it should move then?
5434433 Well i decided to fill my head with fluff. Pink physics breaking poofy puffy fluff...
The best way to solve overdose is more overdose!
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT APPLY THAT TO MEDICINE/DRUGS!
5421397
I'll go ahead an resuggest that. You could tailor it up to match however you open the scene.
---
After stopping the looters, you sprint on the stadium. The Doctor steps out of an alley on your way.
"I know you got my message."
You snarl and ignore him, running on as fast as you can.
The Tardis appears ahead of you, and the Doctor appears again.
"Do you really have so little faith in those two guards?"
"The guards? No. It's YOU!" You stop nose-to-nose with him. "You have five seconds. What is the Nightmare?"
"Walk away, Bugze."
You stop yourself from Falcon Punching him and run on.
---
As you reach the stadium/Before you walk onto the field, you see The Doctor standing in your way again. You ignore him, but he speaks as you walk past him.
"This is all Discord's doing."
You stop and look back, meeting his eyes. "He's in stone. The last time I saw him was a recording. He couldn't do this."
"Not him. His magic. All the chaos he unleashed in his fight with you, that hurricane he unleashed on time itself, it all lead to this. This moment is the last domino."
"Those ponies are going to die."
He shakes his head. "You asked me what the Nightmare was. The fastest way to find out will be to fight this stallion. We're standing at a fixed point in time, and the only thing you can control right now is your decision."
"I already made my decision. I'm going to stop his if it's the last thing I do. No one else dies today before I do."
The Doctor sighs. "Haven't we already seen how catastrophic a ripple effect can be on time? Sometimes the best action is to make no new ripples." He reaches out and puts a hoof on your shoulder. "A hero is never afraid to give his life, but your life isn't always what's demanded."
"No. This time you're asking me to give my conscience." You hang your head. "I can't do it. It's too heavy. I can't live knowing I did nothing here."
The Doctor's hoof lingers for a moment before it pulls away. "Then fight well, my boy." He walks away, looking over his shoulder one more time. "Fight well."
5435101 Shouldn't you tell him you were already on the train to here when you got his message?
5436927
I was referring to the one in the comment I resuggested.
5436998 Yes, I mean, he tells you personal, and then you could tell him that. Wrong words used on my side, sorry.
Dude when fights Flag burner make him use Phoenix Wrights UMVC 3 moves it would be so awesome to see bugze just yell "Objection!" and it appear in the air or "Hold it!" to make him freeze .
and the way he gets the moves is on the way to the stadium he finds a blue bottle with a suspicious liquid in it that at first he thinks is for the power glove and downs it as the fight starts. when he finds out it wasnt a power he looks at the bottle before subconsciously yelling hold it towards flag
PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN Q_Q
Hey DWC, been a while. This comment was based heavily on the final boss fight and cutscenes from metal gear rising: revengeance. Link
So turn on some lights, 'cause its about to get really dark.
======
Enough is enough, no more plans, no more supposed allies getting in the way, we need to stop this flipping psycho NOW!
Charging over to where he is you see him standing in the middle of the hoofball field, intimidating the audience with his infuriating speeches. If only you had a way to get over there faster and give him a good smacking, and- wait... is that a giant slingshot?
...
"From the ashes of old Equestria will rise a new, stronger Equestria, the Equestria it was always meant to be." Flag burner rambles "No more shall the tyrants drag us down, as I, The Hooded Offender will lead you forward."
"Only one problem." you say before slamming a falcon punch into his stupid face at mach 5 "I'm the Bucking Hooded Offender, not you. There can be only one!"
The crowd gasps at this shocking turn of events.
"Well well... it seems you've escaped. I hardly think-" Flag Burner tries to say, but you cut him off by slamming him with a literal psycho crusher, sending him sprawling across the games field.
"Shut your bucking mouth! I won't let you kill millions for you stupid bucking plan! You've taken my message and warped it into your own, a flimsy way to justify your bloody vendetta. That's not what I wanted, that's never been what I wanted!" you scream at him.
"No!" he yells back "You only ever did what you thought was right, well so am I! I am done sitting back while others are treated unfairly for what they believe, I am done putting up with the judgement of those who would claim to be gods! I am done being a nobody!" he pulls out a crystal and crushes it against his chest. As it shatters, Flag Burner begins pulsating with a vicious red energy. "When I'm finished, nopony will ever need to fear doing what they believe in."
=after they exchange a few blows=
"Why would you ever think that millions of ponies dying would be a good thing?! You monster!" you yell as the two of you catch you breath.
"They're weak Offender. They allow the Princesses to coddle them with their lies and strip their freedoms and destinies away! Even the brandings upon our flanks are a testament to how far we've fallen, allowing a mark we receive in childhood to dictate the rest of our lives. They are complacent, they accept it without question despite any remorse it brings. I will allow us to choose our own destinies!"
You throw a volley of punches which he either dodges or parries.
"You know how it feels don't you; to do the right thing and be punished and hated for it?" Flag asks.
"That's different! I did what was right, and I took the fall. But I didn't seek vengeance on those who hated me for it!" you counter "I tried to befriend them, I gave them second chances, I never gave up on them and condemned them to death!"
"That... is why you fail." Flag sneers and kicks you onto back "And its why I'll succeed!" he starts to stomp on you "Because I'm. Not. WEAK!"
Selena, nightmare cloak. Now! you call in your mind. With that, a pair of tails emerge and you throw Flag into the air, catching him as he falls.
"What would you know about weakness?" you say through your teeth as you constrict Flag in you tail "Weakness is giving up, weakness is opting for mass murder and fear over compassion and redemption. It takes real strength to keep trying even when the world beats you down for it, it takes strength to forgive those who hurt you; something you've never even tried!"
=After another round of intense fighting=
"You can't beat me Offender, even if I fall my faction are still out there. We will never submit to the tyranny of the monarchs. We will carve our own paths, against oppression, against injustice, just as you have. We will build our lives from the ashes of Equestria and Equestria's loyal weaklings."
Heaving for breath and with five tails now formed, your thoughts and vision blur. Yet you mutter a single sentence; "Not... if I end your lives first." before you charge in for the kill.
=And so=
You plunge your hoof into Flag Burner's torso and rip beating heart from his chest with the talons of your nightmare cloak. As he lays there dying, he looks up at you, strangely... with hope in his eyes.
"I knew I was right about you." he wretches through the blood flooding his mouth "You're exactly who Equestria needs. You will purge the weak, kill the fause godesses, and lead the horde to a new Equestria better than I ever could." he shakily brings a forehoof to his head in a salute "Hail the horde... hail... the true Hooded Offender." he gasps out before breathing his last.
And so you stand there, with blood on your hooves, and a whole stadium full of ponies to witness it.
Run around screaming like headless chickens.
that german at the beginning was just bad
