it was going to happen at some point.
Hope Spitfire doesn't end up in the field as joint task with the Rangers. STRANGE things happen in the field.
I don't buy it, spitfire would not be dumb enough to blackmail the princess known for being fucking brutal
ABSO-FUCKING-LUTE BULLSHIT!!!
Roast Spitfire over the fucking COALS!!!
What a cunt
Yay, now the wonderbolts have more money to buy aesthetics...
See if Luna ever helps you with your nightmares, Spitty
Spitty talk's about corruption, and then proceed's to blackmail? Isn't that corruption too?
So far it seems the scuttlebutt Finley made it to them and what ather think of the funding the good news is it was spiritfier in sted of the meney that wood like to see the damage due.
Good move by the author. Creates some needed conflict, makes me reevaluate Spitfire and brought her back into the light. Getting caught had to happen at some point. Also, not too long ago I was thinking, how is this logistically (aka financially) passing government operations. Ya, they are rules but it is still a government that collects taxes. Which means that that if large funds are being moved around then someone is going to notice. So glad you addressed this, most authors completely forget about it.

What you did with Spitfire brought out some anger. Real emotion that only enforces attachment to this story. Good job! I would like to say one thing though... Does anyone else feel John was a but passive through out the exchange? I would be surprised if Luna or John let this go uncontested in a way the doesn't endanger their relationship. Or it could go the opposite way and shit hits the fan (probably will) and everyone will know. Poof, no more blackmail.

They say the Princesses are moving the funds around, but why is John killing off his tactical air support?
I mean, all it takes is Derpy playing Candy Crush with one of Pinkies cherry bombs for them to realise that heavy air support is very useful in the field.
just who in the nobility is agreeing to the princesses with one face, and writing up the paperwork to cause conflict with the other?
So....spitfire completely forgot their fling earlier? Perhaps Slicer needs to run a minor clandestine op down at the ol academy.......clip the main flight feathers of one wing perhaps.
I very much like it that you added a real life factor known as "military budget". If one unit gets the golden shower, another has to wear a tighter belt, obviously. I must say I expected that others thought something was off with John's situation, BECAUSE he gets a ton of bits, a captain of a SINGLE unit and as the newest "captain" in the Equestrian military no less. So rumors made sense.
On another note I'm really disappointed and negatively surprised with Spitfire. She had sex with him herself and gave John a speech about "corruption" if in fact she isn't better at all? Worse, blackmailing a fellow officer -and in extension the very princess she swore to serve in Luna's case- is really fu**** up. I mean does she really think that all goes unpunished? I can't imagine that Luna will just let her get away with it. Her pride as an alicorn princess won't allow it to be caught in a trap by a noisy Pegasus.
Or if she tells Celestia that Spitfire has John in her clutches and what she pulled off... I really don't think Celestia will be pleased to hear that one of her trusted captains goes to such lows to get what she wants (And because one Pony in the crossfire is her own sister).
Spitfire, you goofed up! And I would really like to see (what won't happen probably, but still) how Rainbow Dash would react when she knows that one of her biggest idols blackmails John in such a way.
And then there are the consequences. For one, their friendship could very well be over now. That's no laughing matter what Spitfire just did. It's some serious business and can very well endanger John's position and social status, as Luna's and her reputation as a ruler if Ponies should really get the impression that the Rangers got all the funding, because John is "the princess' pet". And then I think Luna will think twice from now if she wants to fight the Pegasus' nightmares in the future.
8261773 To be fair, this is entirely in character for Spitfire. Look at the way she chucked one of her team mates for Rainbow Dash in Rainbow Falls. Or the way she threw the book at Lightning Dust to cover the fact that she'd screwed up by making her a lead wingpony in the first place rather than hauling her in when she showed she was more interested in winning than teamwork, and compoinded the mistake by letting her run wild while she sat in her office signing publicity pictures. Clearly she saw herself in Lightning Dust.
She's extremely goal oriented, and when she wants something she doesn't let little things like morality or common decency or ethics get in the way.
I have a feeling Spitfire is in for a world of hurt soon.
8260795 "Nudge Nudge Wink Wink, Say No More!"
Spitfire, you absolute fucking moron. Blackmailing the Princess AND John? You fucked up bigtime and she's likely gonna either lose her position, or get dead.
8262514
Yeah you are right on this point. She really loses focus on the important things if this Pegasus desires something (Btw I hate it that all 'villains/antagonists' got some kind of redemption and only Lightning Dust was blamed alone for the whole incident -Rainbow's friends, Element Bearers or not, came without announcement or request into a MILITARY area. That was stupidity from them, too- because she was not only kicked out and lost the chance of chasing her dream, but was never seen again in the show) but it's still kind of suicidal in my book to blackmail in extension your very own ruler. Morals or not, that "plan" of hers was all levels of stupid.
I can get why she'd be mad about not getting funding but really what are they going to do put blades in their wings or something this man is making guns and armor which is more expensive and useful so she shouldn't have even been surprised front line company's need more money than a back up one on another note I hope she gets found out and punished since you can't tell her about the war
8262514
Thats the kind of stuff that will get you removed from your position in the real military, or even court-martialed, especially since revealing what could be deemed a state secret for security matter and then blackmailing the governmebt with the reveal could be considered treason.
I don't understand the problem. WHY does Spitfire need MORE funding, when all she and the wonderbolts do is make air shows, which fund themselves. Seriously, since the Civil war, which was months ago, the Wonderbolts have done NOTHING else but train and put on shows. THAT'S IT. So why would they NEEDED the funding?
And that's the same for every other guard unit in ALL of equestria... EXCEPT The Rangers. Unlike everyone else, The Rangers are actually going out to battle, and in fact will be out in battle very soon. What's more, they are also the ones develuping more weapons and armor and other tools for all the guards, not just themselves.
This entire situation makes no sense, and I can not honestly see a way for Celestia to approve it. She should be telling all of this to Spitfire right to her face, before telling her to fuck off. You invented a conflict, just to have a conflict, and the conflict doesn't even make fucking sense.
8389311
I'm glad you see sense. Plus, if Spitfire does go around telling other ponies, she'd be hanged for treachery.
8389311
What also gets me is that she specifically stated the funding would only go towards training the air force a bit more, not equipping them with tools or weapons or better outfits/armor, no R&D, just more training. Those motherfuckers train daily.
Also she just committed something that could be considered a federal crime, she secured the funding under selfish pretenses using blackmail against a fellow officer of similar rank from a different branch of the military. Honestly that can only bite her back in the ass, either the princesses should do something directly for her disgusting behavior or John should make her life hell in return. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she keeps trying to twist his arm now that she has achieved it once.
That blackmailing bitch..... fingers crossed spitfire gets fuckin reamed for it.
Dammit Chaser you fucked John and Luna over - not literally though

Agreed my man, the author should introduce a character called bf-109 that is a enemy
