Zapp v Matter-Horn: Dawn of Friendship

by Fanfic27

Chapter 5 Hope

Matter-Horn was flying across Canterlot to meet with her coltfriend Flash Sentry she though about what all those ponies said at the senate

"Am I really that dangerous that ponies are afraid of me." Matter-Horn thought

As she land on top of the AMC apartment building she was greeted by Flash with a kiss. As they separated Flash said

"So is it really true that your going to obey everything the government going to tell you." Flash said concerned

"I have to, its the only why to earn the ponies trust." Matter-Horn said

"No its not doing the right thing doesn't mean obeying every law they have you to follow." he said

"Can I tell you something?" she asked

"Sure, you know you can always tell me anything." he said

"All this time during the campaign Matter-Horn was never real to them." she said

Seeing Matter-Horn looking said he reached up and touch her symbol on her chest and said

"This means something, it's all some ponies have and it's all that gives them hope."

"You really think so?" she asked

"I know so all of your greatest challenges are behind you now"

"I'm not so sure of that." she said as she and Flash look up at the full moon not knowing that Matter-Horn's next challenger is looking up at the same moon as she is

Author's Note:

This one is a sorter chapter because I need to get this one out of the way.

and also comment on wither or not should I give Zapp a Batmoblie like Vehicle
Here a preview of the upcoming chapter:

"Miss Dash, Twilight Sparkle Daily Pegasus, what your opinion on the Zapp vigilante in Ponyville?"

Go ahead and give Zapp a vehicle, as long as it is clear that the vehicle is VERY RARELY used. I mean, she can ALREADY fly faster than sound UNDER HER OWN POWER. She has NO NEED for vehicles (though she COULD have a gadget built into her costume to temporarily increase her flying speed in the event of a BIG emergency). Plus, maybe it could be clear that most of her gadgets are for instances where her weather control skills would actually be excessive (i.e. she's usually trying to capture her quarry alive; conjuring up a tornado and lightning storm combination to catch a purse snatcher would almost certainly more than qualify as unnecessary force, but a precision weighted throwing weapon and/or a sleeping gas capsule is just right for dealing with said purse snatcher), but against an opponent as powerful as Matter-Horn, she can pretty much go all out guilt free. Okay, she might HAVE a vehicle in case she breaks a wing, but that should be the ONLY time the vehicle gets used.

At any rate, as usual, the chapter is pretty short, but great job on the exchange, emotional content and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I'll definitely be looking forward to more of this as soon as time and inspiration will allow.

6916711 Thanks for that and if it's no problem do you mind if you can come up with a creative armored suit for Zapp when she faces off against Matter-Horn(or should she not have one?) and second what do you think I should name Matter-Horn's home planet?

The reason I comment on any feedback is because I want this story to be fun, enjoyable, and an experience for you the readers, so I love to receive feedback on this story whether its negative positive or neutral I need to understand what you like in this story and what you dislike

Thanks and keep the comments flowing

6916904 Yeah. It DOES make sense for Zapp to have a special armored suit for fighting Matter Horn.

As for Twilight's home planet, maybe you could you BonFaust (as a homage to both the original creator of the MLP franchise AND to Lauren Faust).

Also, Maybe Twilight could wear a outfit in public that hides her wings so she looks like an average unicorn in her civilian identity (after all, there are only three other adult alicorns on the planet, which would make it a heck of a lot easier to figure out her secret identity if she were known to be an alicorn in both of her identities).

******

Plus, here's is a possible idea for a later scene:

Celestia: Twilight, I've known you since early foalhood. I've helped Night Light and Twilight Velvet raise you. I've helped you learn to control your powers when they first started surfacing. I can tell when you have something important on your mind.

Twilight: How did YOU do it, your Highness?

Celestia: Excuse me?

Twilight: How did you earn the trust and respect of most of the general public? I mean, you're literally powerful enough to single-hoofedly move a cosmic mass MUCH larger than a planet on a twice a day basis, and ponies don't fear you.

Celestia: They used to, Twilight. It took several years, but through hard work, determination and frequent displays of compassion, charity and optimism, I was able to turn things around.

Twilight: In other words, you're saying don't give up, no matter how bad the situation might get. If I stick with it, things will eventually change for the better.

Celestia: Indeed. But be forewarned; while most laws ARE generally common sense and intended for the greater good, there ARE certain overly obstructive bureaucrats who won't hesitate to bend the law as much as possible without actually breaking it all in the interest of serving their own egos.

Twilight: So, don't go breaking the law without a very, VERY good reason, but don't get so caught up in the letter of the law that I forget about the spirit of the law. And while I shouldn't let bad laws get in the way of helping good sentients, I should also only strike against certain beings if I have solid proof they are doing something really bad.

Celestia: Again, correct.

******

Then again, if you don't like the ideas, I profusely apologize for wasting your time.

6917078 Thanks I will use that scene you suggest for the chapter after this one
