Abby and Kasai, followed by Princess Celestia ran down the corridor until they saw something that make Kasai roar with rage. Luke was laying on his back, eyes closed and a figure that they immediately recognized as Mewtwo was standing over him, eyes wreathed with blue.
“STAY AWAY FROM HIM!” Kasai roared as Abby snarled beside him.
Mewtwo whirled around to see an Arcanine and a Ninetales standing behind him, both were furious. Princess Celestia walked up behind then, a worried expression on her face. Ah... h-hello, Mewtwo shook his head, unable to shake the verbal tick those memories had left. I... I think I had better apologize.
“What the fuck did you do to Luke?!” Abby snarled, not at all caring who she was addressing. “If you’ve hurt him then... then...”
“I’ll rip your ass off. Literally rip it off,” Kasai stated flatly, his teeth blazing.
Celestia looked at the unconscious Gallade and remembered everything Mewtwo had done. “What happened?” she asked coldly.
Mewtwo took a deep breath. W-well, I... he paused and focused, shoving Luke’s memories into the deepest recesses of his mind. I was simply investigating why there was a mental fortress rivaling a Metagross’ in the castle, and your friend did not take kindly at my attempts to discern who and what he was.
“So... you violated his mind to satisfy your curiosity and then knocked him unconscious?!” Abby screeched, fire blossoming in her jaws again.
Not at first, Mewtwo said coldly. Yes, I invaded his mind, but I did not do any serious damage... not until he forced his memories upon me. The Legendary shuddered.
“Well then maybe you shouldn’t have been trying to break into a fucking castle!” Kasai snarled.
Abby watched with narrowed eyes as Mewtwo made a tail gesture at Luke and his eyes flickered open with a start. Then he saw Mewtwo standing above him. Without a second thought or moment of hesitation, Luke brought a Night Slash straight into Mewtwo’s chest.
Mewtwo didn’t have a chance defend himself before he was slammed him into the castle wall. The Gallade charged him and slashed him across the chest again, tears streaming from his eyes.
WHY DID YOU DO IT?! Luke roared directly into Mewtwo’s mind, blade resting against the Legendaries neck.
Mewtwo took a deep breath, or as much of one as he could. I do not believe my answer would serve to placate you in any way, he said dryly. Just know that if you kill me, Arceus will be here within a millisecond.
Luke was literally shaking with rage. THEN! CALL! HIM! NOW!
Mewtwo’s eyes widened and, shaking slightly, he closed his eyes. My Lord.... help.
There was a moment of silence before a flash of gold signaled Arceus’ arrival. The Alpha Pokemon, floating above Mewtwo and the others, looked down on them in all his splendor... which was ruined by the tiny pink cat riding on the god like a Ponyta.
Mewtwo, Mew began. What did you do this time?
He mentally raped me! Luke shouted, his blade still against Mewtwo’s neck. He invaded my privacy unprovoked and began to tear down my mental walls until he could see my entire mind!
Arceus raised an eyebrow and looked at Mewtwo. Why?
Mewtwo gulped. I sensed a mind more powerful than an Alakazam, maybe even more so than a Metagross, in the castle, I was not expecting a Gallade.
Arceus shook his head. Have you ever heard the expression curiosity killed the Delcatty?
Mewtwo froze.
Arceus sighed. Unfortunately, I cannot permit you to kill him, he said to Luke.
Luke shook for another moment and then stepped away from Mewtwo, before he could recover however, the Gallade’s psychic fist slammed into the Legendary and Luke stepped away. If he ever touches my mind again...
Understood, Arceus said, pulling Mewtwo over to him. Noticing the Ninetales and Arcanine for the first time, the god smiled. Miss Trombley, Kasai, good to see you both again. he looked to the Princess. And you as well Princess.
Celestia simply nodded, this seemed like a more... private, affair.
“...” Abby let out a long breath before she truly answered. “I wish it was under better circumstances...” She closed her eyes.
“I really will rip his ass off, literally, if he comes near my friend again,” Kasai said, nodding towards Mewtwo.
Don’t worry, Mew said. I’ll be having a nice long talk with him when we get home.
Mewtwo grumbled, to tired to care right now.
Arceus sighed again. I apologize for him... he’s not very subtle... or gentle... or careful.
“You think?” The Ninetales demanded with a glare. “Actually, you know what, I want him arrested! It’s what would happen if we were still on Earth.”
Arceus sighed. While normally I would be all for the equal treatment of Pokemon in the eyes of the law, I am not going to allow the first Pokemon arrested after the World Summit to be one of my Legendaries.
“So basically because he’s getting special treatment because he’s a ‘Legendary’?” Kasai asked, eyes narrowing ever so slightly. “And here I thought you were the one trying to get away from injustice against Pokemon by coming here.”
I do not wish to argue with you Miss Trombley, Arceus stated dryly. I’ll keep him under house arrest for a while, in a few months time, once things have settled down... then we shall see.
Abby’s lips lifted up in a snarl, she’d never liked hearing that some people were ‘untouchable’ but... he was literally God. Arguing with him was probably going to be about as successful as arguing with a stone wall. Instead she just snarled.
The Ninetales’ upper lip lifted into a snarl but she conceded. “... fine. But he IS going to pay for this.”
“Agreed,” Kasai growled. And if I ever see him again...
Mew floated over to Mewtwo and glared at him before whipping him with her tail. Bad kitty, she said sternly. You’re in big, BIG, trouble when we get back.
Mewtwo groaned, Mew might have looked innocent and adorable, but she was also an expert when it came to chewing people out. Probably came with being the ‘mother of all’.
“Now maybe you should take Mewtwo out of here now before Luke loses it again?” Kasai asked, still glaring at the Legendaries.
Arceus blinked twice, then looked back at Mewtwo. Oh... right, I shall take my leave. he leaned down and nuzzled Mew. Come home whenever you’re done here sweetie.
Bye daddy! Mew waved as Arceus and Mewtwo disappeared.
Once that was done, the Ninetales and the Arcanine turned to look at Luke who simply sighed.
I will be in Ponyville. With that said, he vanished.
Oh Luke... Abby thought sadly, wishing that he’d stayed longer so that she could comfort him.
Kasai for his part closed his eyes, he hated seeing his good friend like that.
After a moment, Abby let out a heavy, remorseful sigh, leaning slightly against Kasai before she noticed that Mew was still hovering there. “What?” she asked flatly.
Mew pouted. I’m sorry Mewtwo was a big meanie to your friend, she said apologetically.
“... big meanie?” Abby asked, a dangerous edge in her voice. “Is that what it’s called?”
Mew, picking up on the tone in Abby’s voice, frowned even more, and allowed herself to float to the floor. I... I’m sorry, she said, sniffling a bit. I don’t like it when he’s a... a jerk, I’ve tried to talk to him before but he’s hard to get through to.
As for her part, Abby was stunned into silence. I... am I making MEW cry? she thought rapidly, her eyes widening. Okay... I feel REALLY bad now but... Luke...
Kasai took the initiative before things could get too out of hand, or paw in this case. “It’s fine... well, it’s really, really, not... but it’s not your fault it happened.” He shook his head and then leaned over and nudged Abby. “Let’s just move on for the moment okay?”
The Ninetales sighed once and then nodded. “Sorry... I’m just... REALLY angry right now.”
Mew smiled softly and floated off of the ground. It’s okay, I forgive you, Mew moved forwards and wrapped her arms around Abby’s neck. Abby stiffened for a moment before nuzzling back, giving Mew’s cheek a lick.
“Thanks...” She shook her head. “So... now that we’re alone... can you tell me anything about this?” She glanced at her extraordinarily swelled stomach.
Mew giggled and released Abby. Sure I can, she floated around Abby’s side and examined her. Aww, she cooed, poking the Ninetales’ pregnant belly. Hi cuties.
“Cuties?” Kasai inquired with a frown.
“What do you mean cuties?” Abby added.
Mew floated around so she was eye level with Abby. Sorry, I’m kind of the embodiment of new life, I was just talking to the babies.
“Babies... as in... more than one?” Abby asked dumbfoundedly. Ummmmmmmm...
Mew smiled and nodded. Uh huh, she held up two fingers. It’s twinsies! she chirped happily.
Abby blinked twice and then looked over at Kasai. “We’re having twins.” Ummmmmmmmm...
“Yes, that’s what she said,” Kasai agreed, nodding his head and giving her a nuzzle, doing his best to snap her out of the trancelike expression that had fallen across her face.
Mew poked Abby’s belly again and giggled. I can tell you more if you want? She asked before giggling again. Sorry, they’re just so cute!
Abby frowned and shook her head. “I... um... Genders?”
A little boy and a baby girl. Mew informed. And they both look healthy.
“Wonderful!” Kasai said with a grin, licking Abby’s cheek.
“Yes... wow... twins...” Abby said, still rather shocked. Then she let out a breath and nodded her head. “Okay, I can do that... It’s a little unexpected but I can do that.”
Kasai sighed and nuzzled her. “You’ll be fine love,” he said, giving Abby another lick on the cheek.
“Umm... when are... they due?” Abby asked Mew with a frown as she continued to recover her wits. “I want to make sure that I’m not somewhere... public.”
Mew hummed to herself lightly, then nodded. Twenty seven hours, forty five minutes. she stated.
Abby gulped and then nodded. “Right...” she trailed off uneasily and no amount of Kasai’s nuzzling would make the sense of deep nervousness leave her.
Mew patted Abby on her head. There there, everything’s going to be alright.
“I... I hope so...” Abby said softly. “I... I’ve never given birth before... I... I don’t know what to do... and I don’t want Inner to take over for that... I...”
Kasai gave her a nuzzle and then glanced at Mew. “Not to be rude... but is there anything you can do to help her?”
Mew shrugged. My sisters are better at dealing with mental stuff than me, I suppose I could give them a call... oh wait, you meant, Mew giggled. I can help her with the delivery no problem, I’ve done it loads of times before.
That got Abby’s attention. “You can?”
Sure! Mew said with a smile. Not only did I kick start life on planet Earth, I used to be the go to gal whenever any female needed help with childbirth. she grinned and added. And I’m happy to say I hold a one hundred percent success rate.
A look of relief crossed Abby’s face. “I... thank you so much, Mew,” the Arcanine said with a smile.
No problem, Mew said with a shrug. I’ll see you two tomorrow then.
“Will do,” Kasai said with a nod of his head.
“Goodbye,” Abby added.
Bye bye. Mew disappeared in a flash of light, leaving Abby, Kasai, and Celestia in the hallway alone. It took them a moment before the pair turned to Celestia who’d been observing the whole affair in silence.
Celestia blinked twice and shook her head. “I’m sorry for... whatever just happened, also, congratulations.”
Abby nodded and let out a sigh. “Thank you Princess... for both,” she said, shaking her head. “Oh... and Twilight mentioned someone named Bio Chem who I could see about maybe creating some form of birth control for Pokemon. Do you know where I can find him?”
Celestia frowned. “He should be in his lab,” she said. “I can have a guard show you to him.”
“Thanks,” Abby said, nodding as she let out another breath and glanced at Kasai. “After twins, I’m not going to want anymore kids for a while...”
“Yeah...” Kasai agreed with a nod of his head.
“In that case, I’ll be right back with an escort,” the Princess turned around, heading back the way they’d came. “And... word of advice? Just... be careful around him.”
As they followed the guard down the street, the group spotted Pokemon of all types making a home for themselves in the city, though not all of them appeared to be welcome. One pair in particular, a Venusaur and a Munchlax had caused a rather large traffic back up thanks to their rather unfortunate choice of sleeping spot.
“Should we help them?” Kasai inquired, nodding towards the group of guards who were in the process of trying to prod the Venusaur into moving with the butts of their spears. The Venusaur simply ignored them and continued sleeping.
“We could... but I don’t know if they’d really appreciate us getting in their way,” Abby pointed out before frowning. “Though maybe your bark could help?”
Kasai shrugged and walked a little closer and let out a bellowing roar at the Venusaur. The large quadruped opened a singular eye. “What?”
“They’d like you to move out of the road,” Kasai said, speaking for the guards who were looking at him perplexedly.
“Oh,” the Venusaur said with a frown. “But it’s where the best sun is.” The Munchlax let out an even deeper snore than before and curled up tighter on the Venusaur’s head. “And Jim is sleeping.”
“Still, you know you wouldn’t be allowed to get away with this if we were on Earth,” Kasai pointed out reasonably.
The Venusaur rolled its eyes and grumbled before getting to its feet, its every movement heavy and ponderous. Then, a pair of vines erupted from its back and it knocked aside the spear butts. “I’m moving, I’m moving,” he grumbled, ambling off in the other direction. “Can’t let a Pokemon sleep these days...”
One of the guards gave Kasai a grateful smile before he and the others began to direct pedestrian and carriage based traffic. Abby gave him a nuzzle and they continued down the street following the instructions that Celestia had given them.
Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns was a multistoried building with a rather impressive front lawn. Abby looked over it for a moment before striding in the front door, glancing at the receptionist who was giving the two of them a strange look. “We’re here looking for Professor Bio Chem? Can you give us directions please miss?”
The mare sighed and shook her head. “He’ll be in his lab at this time, two flights up, at the very end of the hallway, can’t miss it.”
“Thank you,” Abby said, directing a friendly smile at the mare as she and Kasai walked down the wooden halls. “Nice place,” the Ninetales commented.
“Yes, it’s very nice,” Kasai agreed with a small chuckle. “Feels old too.”
“Well, if Celestia built it then that doesn’t surprise me, I’ve heard she’s over a thousand,” Abby pointed out before they started up the stairs. Kasai watched her worriedly as they walked up the flights but Abby managed to make it and only pant a little when she was done. “Relax Kasai, Mew said it’s not going to be for another day and I believe her.”
“I’m not doing this because I don’t believe her, I’m doing this because I’m worried about you,” Kasai pointed out, nuzzling her again. “Now let’s go see this Bio Chem guy.”
“Right,” Abby agreed, leading the way down the corridor.
At the very end of the corridor, a large steel door took up the entire back wall, a slight buzzing sound could be heard from behind it. Abby cocked her head to the side, as did Kasai but the pair continued forwards and the dog knocked heavily against the door with his massive paw.
“One moment!” The buzzing continued for a second, then ended with a ding. A few moments later, a brown Earth Pony stallion with a bleach white mane opened the door. “Hell... ooh, more Pokemon.”
“Hi, I’m Abby Trombley and this is my mate Kasai,” Abby said with a smile. “Princess Twilight Sparkle directed us here and said that you could possibly help us with a problem.”
“Well, friends of Twilight,” Bio Chem smiled widely. “Please come in.”
The pair did so, following the Professor into his lab.
“Sorry about the noise, I was making hot chocolate, you want some hot chocolate?”
Abby glanced at Kasai who shrugged. “Sure,” the Ninetales answered with a small chuckle. “It’s not really the weather for it but you shouldn’t say no to cocoa.”
Bio Chem nodded. “Hal! Two hot cocoa’s for our guests!”
Abby blinked twice and looked around for ‘Hal’ expecting another pony to appear. A few seconds later, a Metang floated into view, carrying a plate with two cups of hot chocolate. “Here we are.” The Steel type said.
“Thank you,” Kasai said with a smile. “Do you have anywhere you can set them? We don’t really have hands you know?”
Bio Chem nodded. “This way, this way,” leading them a little further into his lab to a small dinner table. Abby and Kasai took seats at it and the Metang set the hot cups down before them, without hesitation, Kasai sank his muzzle down and his tongue lapped out, gulping up the cocoa.
“Mhm, not bad,” Kasai said as Abby lowered her narrow muzzle into the cup and took a licks as well.
“Yes, not bad at all,” Abby complemented before glancing at Bio Chem. “So, mind if I cut to the chase?”
“Not at all,” the Professor said. “What brings you to my humble laboratory?”
“Well, I’m pregnant,” Abby stated. “And afterwards, I’d like to avoid being pregnant again for quite a while... but Kasai and I are very... horny I guess,” she said with a small blush. “So... I was wondering if you could figure out some form of birth control pill or something?”
Bio Chem scrunched his face. “Hmm, well, I haven’t been able to gather much data on Pokemon, genetic wise that is,” he shook his head. “Not many of the ones I interviewed were willing to give me a blood sample, and I’m still processing what I did gather.”
“Hmm, would my blood help?” Abby inquired. “I mean, so long as you didn’t take too much of course. I’m carrying twins after all.”
The geneticist tapped his chin. “That could be helpful,” he got up from the table and walked over to one of his monitors. “I suppose I might be able to synthesize something from your DNA that would... ahem, block some of the hormones and what not.”
“If you think it can help,” Abby said with a small chuckle. “Like I said, I think twins are going to be enough for me to handle.”
“You can take my blood instead actually,” Kasai said, giving Abby a nuzzle. “I’d rather just get through the next day or so without her losing any blood.”
Bio Chem clicked his tongue and continued to play with the screen. “Uhuh, sure,” he opened one of his drawers are pulled out a very large needle. “Now then, who am I poking with this?”
“Me,” Kasai said, stepping forwards without hesitation.
Bio Chem blinked once and looked down at the needle in his hooves. “Eh heh,” he cleared his throat. “Sorry, usually that scares people.” That got a snort out of Kasai as he put the needle back and returned with a more normal sized one.
“I’ve gone through P.T. twice, lost my limb, been stabbed, sliced, electrocuted, set on fire, half drowned, caught in an explosion, lost enough blood to knock me out...” he glanced at Abby. “Am I forgetting anything?”
Abby just let out an irritated growl. “Shush and stop reminding me about that.”
“Right, sorry,” Kasai said before glancing back at Bio Chem. “But yeah, I can take a needle.”
Bio Chem shook his head and chuckled as he poked the needle into Kasai’s leg and drew some blood. “Honestly, you Pokemon are such interesting beings.” he took the needle out and carried it over to one of his machines. “Durability rivaling that of any creature save for Dragons, natural magic abilities tied into some force I’ve never heard of,” he paused and smiled. “Evolution, honestly the scientific applications are virtually endless.”
“Well, hopefully you can apply them to keep me, and any other female Pokemon, from getting pregnant unless we’d like too,” Abby said with a small chuckle. “Oh, and I just thought you should know, Kasai is a species called an Arcanine. You know, for science purposes and stuff.”
Bio Chem nodded and typed something into a computer. “Right right, and don’t worry, I’ve worked infertility treatments before, this is basically the same, except backwards.”
“Oh good,” Kasai said, leaning down to lick at the spot a few times and going over it with his long tongue. “So hopefully we’ll be able to raise our kids without worrying about any more.”
“I’ll do my best,” he paused, then added. “But... try not get pregnant before I get done with this, nothing I can do if that happens.”
“We’ll do our best,” Abby assured him with a smile. “Thanks for doing this by the way, I’d pay you but the only thing I can offer you is a position with the Rangers in our R&D department once Princess Celestia gets it set up.”
“Don’t worry, I have a very large research grant from the Princ...” Bio Chem’s brain finally caught up with what Abby had said. “Did you just offer me a job?”
“Only if you’re interested in being on the front lines of Pokemon science,” Abby said coyly. “After all, the Rangers are going to be needing all sorts of smart ponies working with us.”
“Yeah, and my leg is bound to break eventually,” Kasai added, holding up his robotic leg. “Might be good to have someone around to fix it.”
Bio Chem looked between the two, then said. “Would you excuse me for a moment?”
“Sure,” Abby said, a small smile on her face.
“Thank you,” Bio Chem trotted off, and a few seconds later, a loud shout of “YES!” was heard from another part of the lab. Trotting back into view, trying his best to hold a professional look, Bio Chem said. “I’ll talk to the Princess and see about getting myself transferred, shouldn’t be too hard, a lot of the parents say I’m ‘incapable of teaching here’, and ‘unstable’, or ‘not safe around children’.”
“So long as you sign a few agreements and swear not to go insane and start stabbing people with needles in an attempt to take over Equestria, I think you’ll do fine,” Abby said with an amused chuckle. “Thanks again Professor.”
“Anytime Miss,” Bio Chem said.
“Abby,” Abby corrected with a smile.
Bio Chem smiled. “Well Abby, I’ll contact you as soon as I-”
The doors to the lab flew open and a few seconds later, a unicorn stallion with a blond mane tromped into view.
“What do you want Blue?” Bio Chem asked. “I’m in the middle of a meeting.”
The stallion eyed Abby and Kasai before opening his mouth. “.....?”
Bio Chem blinked. “You’ve gone mute again. What did you do this time? Kick a puppy or something?” The geneticist chuckled.
Abby frowned at the new stallion. Yesterday Belle had told her about someone named Blueblood who had tried to crash their wedding along with causing all manner of problems. “You wouldn’t happen to be named Blueblood would you?” the Ninetales inquired with a deep frown.
“.....!.....?!?.....?” Blueblood waved his hooves around trying to get his point across.
Bio Chem fell over laughing. “I still don’t speak mime!” after a moment, he got up and sighed. “Alright, Hal, do that thing you did when you first met me.”
The Metang floated over to Blueblood and, its eyes glowing blue for a moment, linked the Prince and the others minds so he could speak... sort of.
“...!... -And what are these animals doing in your lab?!” Blueblood clamped a hoof over his mouth as his voice returned.
“Excuse me?” Abby asked, getting up from her chair, her face too far away from Kasai’s to notice that her eyes were glowing ever so slightly. “Did you just call me an animal?”
Blueblood blinked once, then huffed and turned his head away from Abby. “You creatures have done nothing but torment me since you came here,” he said. “And to answer your question, yes, I am Prince Blueblood.” He glared at Abby. “What’s it to you?”
“I my name is Abby Trombley, Top Pokemon Ranger and Belle and Gene happen to be two of my best friends in the world,” she said, her voice a deadly calm as her tails began to weave ever so slightly, the glow in her eyes increasing.
“Are those names suppose to mean anything to me?” Blueblood asked.
Abby blinked twice before the blue in her eyes blazed even further. “They’re the people whose wedding you tried to crash yesterday!” she snarled.
Blueblood blinked once, remembered what had happened at the wedding, then made the logical choice and tried to run out the door. Before he could however, he found himself immobilized by blue energy as Abby stalked towards him, every movement predatory. Kasai rose and thought about stopping her like he had when she’d been about to do something similar to Hastings but then thought about what Fang and Gene had told him about the stallion and thought better of it.
The Ninetales’ nine tails swirled behind her as she stared into Blueblood’s eyes with her own blazing blue ones. When she finally spoke, she was only a few inches away from his face.
“You, who look down at everything with hate and scorn...” the Ninetales began, her voice cold and frozen. “KNOW THE HATE AND SCORN YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE!”
Blueblood began to scream, but halfway through his voice cut out. Finally finding himself able to move again, Blueblood collapsed to the ground.
“What just happened?” Bio Chem asked.
“Special ability of Ninetales,” Abby said, her voice beginning to ‘warm up’ again as it became more her own. “I just cursed him. The despicable little bastard will hear every negative thought directed at him within a hundred yards for the next week or so.”
Bio Chem nodded and walked over to the unconscious stallion. “I THINK YOU'RE SELF ABSORBED AND PETTY AND WISH YOU WOULD STOP COMING TO ME WHENEVER THE PRINCESS DIDN’T LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY!” Nodding again Bio Chem trotted back to his seat. “That felt good,” he said, taking a sip of his cocoa.
Kasai rushed over and nozed Abby. “Abby, are you alright? Do you feel faint?”
“No... no I’m fine,” Abby said with a smile as she leaned into him. “That actually felt really good.”
The Arcanine let out a sigh of relief and nuzzled her. “It did?” Kasai asked, glancing down at her in concern. “That doesn’t sound like a good thing Abby.”
“I don’t know... it is one of a Ninetales’ natural abilities,” Abby pointed out, frowning as she leaned into his neck.
“I wouldn’t worry,” Bio Chem interjected. “A, it’s natural for the use of an ability to feel... natural, especially if it hasn’t been used much. And B... It’s Blueblood, I make a point to blow him up every time I get half a chance, so it might just be that it’s him.”
“Hmm... I’m still worried,” Kasai said, nuzzling Abby.
“I’m fine Kasai,” Abby said, nuzzling him back before glancing at Bio Chem. “Anyways, we should probably be getting back to the station soon, don’t want to miss the train back to Ponyville. Ask Princess Celestia for our ‘address’ if you need to find us.”
Bio Chem smiled. “Have a safe trip.” He said with a wave.
“Thanks,” Abby said and together, she and Kasai walked out of the room, leaving Bio Chem with the slowly rousing Blueblood.
“I should... probably put him somewhere before he wakes up,” Bio Chem tapped his chin in thought. “I know, I’ll drop him in the school cafeteria!”
Just for the record, I'm not being pointlessly mean to Blublood, I do have a plan for him.
Also, Yay! Twins!
Well now I feel pressure to work on my chapters again.
The only way this could be worse is if Zeus released one right now.
5353785
Depends on TND so you might be safe for a day or so heh
5353734 He's Blueblood. I don't really think anyone actually cares if you were being pointlessly mean. I mean I can only think of a handful of stories where he's not portrayed as a horrendous douche bag, So its okay
Also, Yay! Poke'puppy twins *fangirl squeal!*
5353787
Huh. Should probably finish off the current one, then. Might even want to go into the next one.
5353734
It's Blueblood. You could drop that guy into the blast of an atom bomb, guilt free!
My next update won't for a while yet... writer's block sucks.
On the note of this chapter though, Mew was as adorable as always, and poor Luke. Mewtwo, why you do that? Oh, if you haven't decided yet, Mewtwo did help Seth with a case involving brainwashed Pokemon, maybe that's why he was concerned?
Yay. Another chapter right before lock down!
Is the reference the giant needle thing? It's a pretty old joke but it's a good one. And also...
...Why Mew? Why? Your character make brian hurt!
5353734 Being mean to Blueblood and having it be pointless is impossible... You see, Blueblood's character has an out line which is made up of a large multitude of lines and as any math-wiz (like I) would tell you, "A line is and infinite number of points leading in opposite directions." Therefor, if it involves Blueblood, it has an infinite amount of points to it. GO MATH!
Oooooh, Blueblood FINALLY gets punished in a mental capacity. Me likely. Can't wait for him to finally learn what everyone (ESPECIALLY Celestia) REALLY thinks about him. Although I still kinda want to see Excaliber the Aegislash (AKA Celly's personal guard that she didn't ask for) use his royal mind-control powers on that self-absorbed little twat.
Also, I got the reference: the Metang is named after HAL 9000 from the novel/movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke.
Also, yay for twinzies!!
\
*dies laughing*
*dies again from laughter*
It frustrates me that you keep typing
if he's gonna do that, I'm gonna laugh
Holy shit, dat plot twist, tho.
5354281
Ah, whoops, those are because of the fact that I wrote this first in Zeus' story before changing the chapter over for 'personal edits' and such. Sorry, I got them fixed.
5353926
5353936
Nope, it's a reference to one of the later Dresden books if you're familiar with the series.
5354693 Sorry, but I'm not familiar with it. Also, your story now had 1,000 comments on it! CONGRATULATIONS
Hahaha Blueblood got his ass handed to him again!
Also yay for twins!
OK, I for one have a few problems I need to address so this will be a long one.
First, regarding this chapter specifically, why is Mewtwo acting like a bitch? Luke attacked him with the nightslash and threatened to kill him if he ever entered his mind again and Mewtwo acted like that was a legitimate threat. Mewtwo just beat the shit out of Luke in the place where Luke is supposed to be at his strongest, there is no way in hell Luke could actually kill let alone even hurt Mewtwo in a real fight. Even the reason Mewtwo was forced out of Luke's head wasn't that Luke was strong enough to eject him but because Mewtwo thought "wow this shit is raw, I need a second to collect myself" and willingly backed out.
Second, What is the point of Blueblood in this fic? So far he has been a boring and two dimensional racist snob that everyone just beats on constantly and then wonders why he hates them. Being stripped of your ability to speak just because you said something mean is extremely fucked up. The first Amendment, you know the thing that the founders of America believed was literally the most important principle, is that everyone has the freedom to say what they believe no matter how rude, offensive, or wrong it is. And yet that violation of his mind is constantly the first thing everyone in this story does to him. Then after crashing the wedding he was punished by being stripped of his voice and dumped in poison so bad he needed to be hospitalized and no one cared. But here Abby is condemning him to a week of psychological torment because she doesn't like him? What gives her the goddamn right to sentence others? There is a god and multiple rulers of the land for that and yet she thinks its her place to inflict magical curses freely. Inner ninetails or not her actions are extremely illegal and need to be addressed.
Which comes to point three. WHY THE FUCK IS ABBY ALLOWED TO CURSE PEOPLE? She inflicted perpetual torture upon some random mare because she lashed out in anger over having her home destroyed by some alien creature she tried to help out of the goodness of her heart and everyone just hand waves it away. Think about it, that cursed mare was clearly a good pony to begin with because she opened her home to strange alien creatures despite the posibility that might be hostile, then it turns around and destroys her basement so she throws it out. But instead of leaving it tries to stay while shouting thinks she doesn't understand so she snaps and kicks its. She had no way of knowing what it intended or that it was in fact a baby and not full grown, but Abby considers none of this. She acts as judge, jury, and executioner in a situation she has no understanding of and condemns some random mare to PERPETUAL TORTURE that lasts a full week until Arceus has to directly intervene. During this time Abby never tried to undo it or even care but somehow she is the one we are supposed to side with. You can blame it on the inner ninetails but the fact that everyone just ignores it instead of immediately ripping it out or sealing it is insane. This inner ninetails showed itself to be a hostile being that is breaking the law and causing the suffering of others and yet no one cares, because it says it isn't evil and Luke is like whatever. That seriously needs addressing.
This ties in with the fact that Abby for all her good intentions isn't actually a good person. She is a traumatized and seriously flawed individual and shouldn't be entrusted with power over an entire police force when she constantly throws out extreme punishments over everything without ever stopping and thinking. That isn't justice, its lust for vengeance. Someone in this story needs to sit her down and address these crimes she keeps committing because of lack of self control. I would actually like if she doesn't get to head up the new Ranger division and instead Scarlet, an intelligent capable and most importantly rational individual, takes over as leader.

You bring up some exceptionally good points. To address some of them very briefly (because they'll be addressed in-story later and I don't want to spoil)
Mewtwo, according to Zeus was either holding himself back (Like a LOT), still recovering mentally from the struggle and would have retaliated MUCH harder the moment that he had a chance to recover (in other words, any small superiority Luke had would have vanished incredibly quickly)
Blueblood... I've got nothing really. I personally prefer it when Blueblood is treated as a real character in fics (see 'the best night ever' (the ground hog day loop one) then the way Zeus is portraying him but at this point the way he acts in this universe is kind of set in stone. Abby's actions were the result of her temper which brings me to the third point thing
Abby is allowed to curse people because of how few actually know that she's doing it. Sure her team knows and Kasai knows... but he's most interested in her best interest (not getting her arrested and such) at heart and sure Ace knows, at least, she knows a PART of it but not enough to really have understood things. Now, someone who might have an idea is Scarlet but she's only heard about it second hand and at the time the situation was HIGHLY chaotic anyways and there was the matter of the God floating there too.
Lastly, yes, Abby is a HIGHLY flawed person. She wants to good, and she does quite a bit of it but at the very heart of the matter is the fact that she IS a traumatized woman so I'm glad you (and hopefully others) have noticed that. As for leadership of the Rangers, I could be wrong but I believe I've mentioned somewhere in these chapters that Scarlet most likely WILL be leading the Rangers. She IS much more experienced, sensible, and rational after all.
Anyways, thanks for your long comment and thanks for addressing those things, they will be addressed more in the story as it proceeds
5353734 Does it have to do with Blueblood somehow gaining enough hatred for Pokemon that he opens a portal to the original Pokemon planet and absorbs all the hatred from that planet into his soul before going ballistic with god-level dark magic on the entirety of Equus? roundstable.com/forums/images/smilies/stararity.old.png
5355840 That... actually seems like it may somehow work, but I don't think Blueblood is competent enough to do so, he may just be a piece used by an equestrian version of the KKK against pokemon, they do the magic, Blueblood takes the blame.
5356203 Because he is. Nothing more. Or is it...?
Pretty
sure it's no by the way.this separated consciousness of her wild and instinctual side, I like this idea more and more, I guesd they'll keep changing until the will even out and then 'merge' You don't get to be changed into new creature with different biology and hormones and keep your personality, most of our reactions and feelings are based on both learned conditioning (morality and social norms) and our body's natural chemical reactions, that's why pregnant women are unstable, people change even over a year, depending on environments influence. Iris, for example should be much more aggressive now, as aggression is heavily influenced by our biology, And as a dragon... she is way too... human. (though after recent chapters, I think there might be hope for her.)
I think I'll repost it under main story for Zeus to read, unless he netices it here. this is actually important (and extreamly annoying to me) point that have been so far ignored.
Ps. sorry for any mistakes, I write from phone.
5358422
Only real mistake was that you double posted so I deleated one
5358559
Just how is that, that most of the internet works great on my phone, but not this site? Double posting, posting half of comment, empty comments... not posting at all, most images missing, just what is knighty using to make this site? It started after that huge update (the one that took away ability to choose background image)
And this "Ps." Is precautionary measure, I used it quite a lot, and my phone learned it (quite creepy, actually) and now proposes me to post it at the end of every post on fimfic.
5356160 Hey, it's Equestria. Competence shouldn't be a factor in whether one is a villain or not, just look at Cheap Skate!
Wait, that's the guy from SmashingSkunk's fics, right? It's been a while… >.>
Mwahahahahahahahhahahahahaha, just wait until he 'hears' what his aunts really think of him!!!!
I accept this logic and agree it's open season on Blueblood.
Nononhononononono, dangle him on a rope so it looks like he's trying to peep into the female staff restroom.
I'll say it again: MEWTWO NO BAKA!!!!! I hope Mew comes down hard on him and he learns his lesson. Poor Luke is traumatized all over again! Twins... Twins are good. Oh, and when Bio Chem moves to Ponyville... 'CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS LAB ASSISTANTS YAY!!!"
5353789 Agreed!
5353832 but that means he's dead and we can't pick on him any more...
5360666 In regards to your response to Ash19256, it would also mean that he wouldn't be able to harass innocent ponies, pokemon, or any other sapient species that is unfortunate enough to cross his path. Its a bit of a conundrum, on one hand the fandom looses its favorite punching bag, on the other millions of beings aren't being traumatized by his existence.
5360777 I'm fairly certain even Pound and Pumpkin could take him, so really if ponies let him walk all over them they deserve it. If he tries to play the 'royal card' just go to Celestia, Luna, or Twilight. But I honestly think if Abby's curse could be amplified and made permanent that would be the best way to deal with him.
5360786 That would be funny.
5360789 Given Pound and Pumpkin were at first hard for Pinkie to handle.. Blueblood wouldn't stand a chance. The Crusaders would take him apart in an hour.
5360889 I'd say more like 15 minutes
5360897 First half hour is them trying to help the, next fifteen minutes is him yelling at them and insulting them, last 15 is when they wreck their vengeance.
5360897
5361007
Enough please
5361024 Sorry, man. that got away from us a bit.
Arresting Mewtwo?! I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!
5355194 Agreed whole-heartedly with you.
5355194 Okay, one, Ninetales. Two, it's a bigoted classist racist ass hole who just happens to have a horn. Three, because most of them have tried and he is still like that. Also, Arceus isn't involved with him because they have never met, so Blueblood doesn't get to the head of the line to be dealt with, unlike the cities attempting to forcefully eject the new residents. Like Las Pegasus. So yeah, any one who can deal with him is welcome to correct Prince Blueblood of his ways.
The Metang's name is Hal. Totally trustworthy.
Would you like to hear a song?
You know, the classification of 'meanie' isn't really accurate. That would imply there was malice in his actions, which I don't think there were.
5355194 I agree with all of this.
Is the reference Hal being named after Hal 9000?
