those Nobles are so dead

Huh. So they're gonna bring back the Sisters to combat the Elements of Harmony and Cadance? Somehow, I really, really don't see that working out in their favor, fail-safes or no.

6152609 You have no idea. XD

Author's Note:
*grins* I regret nothing!

*chuckles* Oh, I just bet you don't.

Well done, dear Cody.

Well done, indeed.

6152592 That, m' dear, is a rather large understatement!

6152609 It would seem so.

And I don't, either.

Especially given the fact that Celestia and Luna likely have a had a decade of absolute rage building up for their treacherous actions against them.

And as to this:

The ex-Elements of Harmony

Just what gives the idiot the idea that they aren't the Elements of Harmony; demons or not; anymore?

Oh, hohoho! I think that these traitorous idiots are in for one very huge, to say nothing of very unpleasant, surprise soon!

Calling it now!

To wit:

As the unicorn completed the ritual array, high above, the sun began to pulse, just shy of its noon spot, glaring down at the land that had betrayed it.

Naw, this don't mean anything. Nothing at all.

Methinks those failsafes are gonna go "Kaput!" the second that two certain alicorns set their hooves back on Equrstrian soil.

Any takers on that?

6152623 Ohhhhh, I think that I do.

You sneaky person, you.

And Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow are finally reunited with their sisters...biological, and otherwise.

And I absolutely loved their reunions.

Especially AJ's and AB's, as well as Dash and Scoots'

Keep up the rad work, and I can-not wait for Chapter 7!

Oh...wait. I have to.

Darn.

6152989

6153005

6152623 yeah, no duh. Since the same land that banished them would now need their help, I wouldnt be surprised if the sisters joined twilight, but told her to keep the common folk alive.

6152989 Gonna agree with you there. In my eyes, they're always gonna be the Elements of Harmony. And we've seen hints of the Demons not harming the common folk, so I feel there's a big possibility that the Sisters really aren't going to do much to their old friends.

6153049 Me, neither.

6153114 Which is exactly my point. Like you said, demons, or not, they're still the Elements...fancy necklaces and tiara, or not.

That peabrained Radiant Bolt is going under the assumption that (quick rule of thumb here, Radiant Dunce; never, never, never, ever assume anything! Mainly because said assumption will always come back to bite you (and damn hard!) in the butt!), just because they have some sort of failsafe on Celestia, that she's gonna help them out with Archdevil Twilight and Company.

They betrayed and banished her, her sister, her niece, her No. 1 student and fellow Princess, and said student's best friends. And, like the dimwitted tribalist bigots that they are, they turned her beloved kingdom into a totalitarian state on the level (pretty much, anyway) of Nazi Germany!

So she has absolutely no reason to help them in any way, shape or form.

That so-called "Celestial Protocol", or not.

And that's what I think, too.

Oh, yeah. Those traitors are so screwed.

(Pardon the very bad pun.)

Heh, this is gonna be fun (to say nothing of down-right hilarious!) to watch!

So they're calling down the Princesses to deal with Twilight and her friends? Fail-safes or no, this does NOT sound like a good plan. Think of it this way, in ten years, six mortal Ponies have become powerful enough for the Noble Unicorn Council to consider things have crossed the Godzilla Threshold, just imagine how powerful the two most powerful Ponies in history would have become?

...I actually feel sorry for those nobles.

6153687 unless they are under the nobles control

6153701 Even if they do control the Princesses, it begs the question "How long can they maintain control?"

Pardon me if this has been asked already. but where the heck is Discord during all this?

6153771 hopefully not very long or at least not brainwashed that would be worse

6153773 *grins* Good question!

6153687 time flew differently in Tartarus. The mane six and Cadence experienced three HUNDRED years in there.

6154012 That was part of my point.

Many people are suggesting that Radiant is releasing Celestia from her imprisonment, but no, that can't be it. Looking at the weather forecast for Canterlot, there is 95% chance of utter obliviation via targeted solar flare. My bet is the the Celestial Protocol is a scorched Earth policy. 0 survivors, 0 resources/structures remain, 1 giant ass crater

6154029 well, it took them three hundred years to become what they are now. And I don't think time flows differently in/on the sun and moon where the princesses were banished to, so Tia and Luna probably aren't that much more powerful than before their imprisonment.

6154012 not only that, but they had have three centuries to plan this invasion. Even in the unlikely event that celestia and luna actually help the nobles, twilight will have a contingency plan for them.

6153687

...I actually feel sorry for those nobles.

I don't.

Whatever happens to 'em, they've had comin' for a very long time.

6153773 That's...actually a very good question.

I guess we'll find out sooner. ot later, huh?

Same with Spike.

6153804 That's a very good point.

Too bad I don't know the answer.

But we're gonna find out before long, I'm thinking.

6154148

Even in the unlikely event that celestia and luna actually help the nobles, twilight will have a contingency plan for them.

Hey, Twilight has a contingency plan for everything! That's just the way that she rolls!

Ah well, nice knowin' you while you lasted, CMC.

6154204 no shit. If you killed her she would have a contingency plan.

6154362 Oh, Celestia, is that ever true!

6155443 Oh, Twilight had a secondary plan for Cadance if he had used silver. Would have had to do with alot of boiling blood and the melting point of silver though, less fun than a mare's tail. :3

6155504 Almost makes me wish I could have read that.

Y'know, there's something about your stories that make me reread them constantly, even unfinished. Did the same thing to Starbound, now doing it with this one. Interesting.

6155504 Like I said earlier, Twilight always has an alternate contingency plan, just in case of such things.

She is the ultimate planner, after all.

Although I think that it did say in Chapter 6 somewhere that she, and I quote:

But there was one contingency she had not thought of, at least...

end-quote.

That contingency, of course, being the now-adult CMCs.

Although it just now occurred to me: can they really be called that, now that they all have their cutie marks?

Just a minor nitpick, I know, but I'm kinda weird that way.

Another l'il nitpick that I have (but it's a very minor one) would be that, while Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are described as having their cutie marks, there was nary a mention of Scoots having hers, and a description of what it looks like.

Maybe you'll put that in later? I sure hope so, as I'd like to know what it is.

Again, can't wait for Chapter 7 to show up, and find out what's gonna happen next!

(Hopefully, Radiant Bolt, his acolytes, and the (so-called) "Noble" Council are about to get a very nasty shock and surprise.)

Love the new illustrations in this chapter, hun!

Keep 'em comin'!

Also, thanks to that picture of Dash and Scoots, we now know just what Scoots' headcanon Cutie Mark looks like.

6152592 That would imply mercy.
