Future site of Ponyville
213 DR (Discord's Reign)
Celestia blasted a mutated earth pony armed with what looked like a giant toothpick aside as she and Luna advanced, anger in her eyes at what the God of Chaos had done to the ponies she and her sister were about to lead. Around them, pieces of land floated in the air while a town lay ahead, the ramshackle buildings lying in ruins.
Behind them, two cloaked figures followed, hoods up, both the same height as the two Alicorns, but they both walked in a bipedal fashion, and as their cloaks shifted, the glint of sunlight on armor could be seen. One of the figures looked up to reveal two blue eyes that narrowed at the chortling Draconequus sitting on a throne on a hill nearby. A distortion appeared around it before eight blades suddenly appeared around the figure and hovered point first around it. Each blade shimmered with a strange energy, as if the natural light was held within each blade.
Sensing a disturbance, Discord stopped laughing and looked towards where the four were advancing from. Jumping off the throne, he said, “Well well well! If it isn't the so called “Saviors of Ponykind”, here to stop me and save the ponies!” He put emphasis on the word stop as a stop sign appeared in his paw. “Please, as if you could really stop me!” He then noticed the two figures behind the two Alicorns and his eyes suddenly widened in shock and fear. “Oh no, not you two!” He groaned, “As if I didn't have to deal with Sunbutt and Moon Pie here, you two blowhards show up!” Both Celestia and Luna snorted in annoyance at the names Discord gave them.
“Sorry for crashing the reunion, but the four of us have one thing in common, we don't like people lording it over others.” The figure with the floating swords said, its voice revealing it as female. She then pushed her hood back with gauntleted hands to reveal a face that had a shock of long white hair on top of her head, but the rest of her was furless. Her blue eyes glared at Discord as he glared back. “And what you’ve done to these ponies is unforgivable.”
“Oh please, I'm just having a bit of fun! But I'm not in the mood for dealing with you four, how about you deal with these…” Discord snorted before he waved his hand and a flock of 20 bird-like bipedal creatures appeared in from of him, electricity coursing through their wings. “Harpies! Bring the thunder!” He ordered before turning back to his throne
The Harpies flew towards the four only to scatter when the second figure suddenly leapt into the air and spread its own wings, only these were made entirely of electricity. It then tossed its cloak off to reveal a lightly armored creature with a skirt that reminded the two Alicorns of what the ponies of Roam wore and like the first figure, it had hair on the top of its head, but its face and the rest of its body was furless. But while the first figure had long white hair, the other had tawny brown short hair. It glared at the Draconequus with golden eyes before it drew a single sword that coursed with electrical energy. “Not this time Discord!” It snapped, revealing the figure as female also. “You’re not getting away from us any longer!”
Discord turned his head and snorted. “Let's see how well you’ll fight without those paws you call “Hands”.” He said before he snapped his fingers and both figures suddenly vanished in a burst of bright light. When the light cleared, two very different figures were seen. The cloaked figure stumbled, her eyes wide with shock at her new appearance. Where she had been a bipedal creature, she was now a unicorn with a white coat, mane and tail, and on her flank, hidden behind the cloak, were two blades crossed behind a crown. The figure in the air had also been changed, only to a pegasus with a light brown coat, and a tawny brown mane and tail. On her flank was a Phoenix over a lightning bolt. She still wore her armor, but it had changed with her, her boots and gauntlets now covering her hooves and her chest armor covered the entirety of her barrel, while her tail poked from her skirt.
“What… what did you do to us?!” The Pegasus asked, her voice shaking in shock and anger.
“You both seemed to like the ponies so much, I changed you into one, and at least in this form, you’ll prove less troubling than your original forms.” Discord replied with a smirk.
With a roar of rage, she swooped towards him, electricity suddenly blasting from her wings at him. His eyes widened in shock before he dodged to the side, a Harpy taking the brunt of the blasts. It screeched in pain as it was blasted back, falling unconscious after smashing into the ground.
The unicorn meanwhile had taken off her cloak, revealing her armor. Like the pegasus, she had a skirt below her chest armor, but this one was covered in white feathers. Glaring at Discord, her horn began to glow a cyan blue before the swords from before appeared around her. She then advanced, using the blades to strike out at any Harpies or discorded ponies in her path, as they struck, a flash of bright light both blinded and burned those the blades hit.
Discord growled in annoyance before he snapped his fingers again and a massive Halberd appeared in his paw. Gripping it with both his lion’s paw and eagle claw, he prepared to engage as the unicorn charged forward. With a ring of steel on steel, the two crossed blades, Discord managing to block the unicorn’s swords before delivering a thrust at the mare, only to have it blocked by the eight blades. “For someone that's not from here, you’re a real pain to deal with!” He growled.
“I’ve gotten that a lot, but at least I’m fighting to protect!” She retorted as she blocked another thrust. Seeing an opening, she thrust one of her blades and stabbed the God of Chaos in the arm. He yelped in pain and stumbled backwards. He glared at the mare as his arm healed. His eyes then widened as he saw what looked like blue crystals appear and float towards the unicorn before getting absorbed by her. Her eyes glowed briefly before they returned to normal, while her swords seemed to crackle with more energy.
“I forgot about those blasted things…” Discord grumbled. He then held his weapon in his paw before he fired a blast of Chaotic magic at her. Still not used to her new body, she tripped and was sent flying into a nearby house by the blast. “That should take care of her…” he chuckled before he was struck by three blasts of lightning. “Oooh, I’m really getting tired of you two!” He growled as he turned to face the pegasus.
“Well too bad, because we’ll be that last thing you'll see!” She snapped. He then noticed that two blades were now mounted on her wings and he groaned.
'I knew I should have gotten rid of that blade when I changed her…’ he reprimanded himself as the pegasus swooped towards him, her blades aimed at him. Just as he readied the halberd to swat her out of the sky, eight impacts caused him to stumble, a burning sensation following the blows. Wincing in pain, he turned his head to see the unicorn limping towards him, the impact having dislocated a shoulder. Her blades dripped with his blood, having been psychically recalled back to her after she threw them.
This proved to be a mistake for him as the pegasus smashed into him, her blades sinking into his chest and delivering a massive jolt of electricity. He yelled in pain before backhanding her into the ground in front of him. “This time, I'm going to make sure you don't interfere with my plans!” He snarled as he raised his halberd to deal a death blow to the mare.
“Cassie! No!” The unicorn yelled before her horn suddenly glowed and a bolt of magic smashed into Discord. He stumbled before turning to her, his eyes narrowed in anger.
“To quote a certain character in your world: GET OVER HERE!” He growled before she found herself yanked over to where her friend was.
“Rayla, Sefia, ye needst get away from him!” Luna yelled as a rainbow ring appeared around both her and Celestia.
Discord spun around and his eyes widened before he shouted, “Oh no you don't!” But before he could take a step forward, the unicorn stepped in front of him, followed by the pegasus.
“You’re not going anywhere!” She snarled as a blast of harmonic energy rose from the two Alicorns behind them and streaked towards the three. She then turned her head to Celestia and Luna and whispered, “Good luck you two…” As the blast from the elements struck, she turned her head and closed her eyes before everything turned dark as the three were turned to stone.
Both Celestia and Luna looked at the now stone forms of the two ponies and Discord, their minds reeling from seeing the two sacrifice themselves to halt their foe. Luna broke down after a few minutes, her sobs echoing through the ruined town. Celestia herself had tears pouring down her face as she realized that the two would never be able to see the world again. But what she didn't know was that in a place unaffected by Discord, a single earth pony prophet would write down a prophecy that foretold the return of the two when Equestria was at its darkest moment, when a more ancient foe would appear… and Gods… would fall…
When the Four Fallen appear, destruction seems near, but do not lose hope, for the two who slumber will awaken, and even the gods will tremble at their names… and the universe shall reveal their destiny as protectors of a new land….
Brave Frontier Equestria
Here we go!!
7629994 Here we go indeed....
I'm gonna enjoy this
A amazing first chapter .
7630054 Thanks man!
Awesome another brave frontier story. You forgot to mention the leader skills, and summoning or was that intentional?
7630545 I was mostly giving the basics of the game, whoever tries the the game will learn about those themselves, but that's if they choose to try it out. I'm not gonna force people to try the game out, if they want to play it, that's their own decision.
7630656 makes sense but if someone does manage to get into it its best they find out on their own how much space it takes
7630739 Okay, I'm really getting tired of you showing up and putting my stories in the bloody "Absolutely Disgusting" group! Just... leave my stories alone, how would you like it if I added your stories to a group that mocked them? Think about that...
7630790 ...... *Tries not to burst out swearing in anger*
Look.... I just like doing Displaced, alright? I did try my hand at something else, didn't really work out for me. With Displaced, you can do any game character and choose their path, whether for good or evil. That's why I usually stick with Displaced.
7630928 I have one thing to say: NO!
I would rather not have you or this group involved with my stories, thank you very much! Look, I'm sorry if I'm blowing up on you, but I work hard on these stories, and while they may need a little bit of work, at least I do actually try and improve! I don't need you or any of the members of your group reviewing my stories, so thank you, but no.
7630928 7630739 7630790
Let me ask you three a question, what exactly warranted my Displaced stories to be added to your group? Because one story I can understand, two is when I start to get annoyed, but three is just over the line. So answer me this: what exactly is it about my stories that you have the right to add them to your group and mock them and even tell me to give up Displaced instead of giving constructive advice to actually help me write better with the stories I have? For all that you guys say, you're just a bunch of hypocrites that don't deserve to really be called writers.
7631290 7631050
Look, I'm sorry, I'm just really frustrated that all three of my stories were put in your group when I didn't want it, so please just remove my story from your group and I won't mention this again. As for Displaced being a borrowed thing? That's where you're wrong, yes we had a bit of a hard time, but we came out stronger because of it, and for your information, it's just you and your group that are tired of Displaced, not others. So think twice about what you say or your group will get reported the next time you add a Displaced story of mine to it. And here's some food for thought: how would you guys like it if I added your stories (if you even have any) to a group over and over that you didn't like? Because I know a lot of Displaced writers that are tired of you adding their Displaced stories to your group.
7631648 I know you guys are just doing your jobs, I respect that. And I can confirm that it was Hamster_Master as he did the same thing to my other two Displaced stories. I'm sorry that I blew up at you, I just... get frustrated when people think the worst of my stories. I honestly try to do my best but some people just... don't see it I guess.
7630928
Displaced Stories do, in fact, require a lot of creativity. The whole "Displacement" part of it is just a simple way to get the character into Equestria.
Being Displaced also allows for crossovers, which can be entertaining, though people do tend to overdo them a bit. I myself have done that once, but I have learned my lesson.
Displaced might be overdone, but so are almost every other thing. Examples would be Fallout Equestria Fanfics, Conversion Bureau, and many more. It is unfair to acknowledge only Displaced as overdone, when there are many other things that are overdone even more so.
And while Sebaste'a stories do require a bit of fixing here and there, he has been trying. His stories used to be a lot worse.
Excellent setup.
7632078 Thanks man, and chapter 1 is now in the works, so brace yourself!
7632202 I've already contacted your second admin about this, look, I know you're doing your job, but you need to let authors know before you even add their stories to the group, or better yet, give helpful advice on how to improve their stories instead of just dumping them in.
As for the Bandwagon bit? I don't write for that purpose, I write so that others can enjoy what I'm writing, not because I enjoy the attention.
So unless you actually have helpful advice on how to improve my story and not "Please do something other than Displaced because it's used over and over", don't comment on my stories.
And another thing, I never wanted my stories to be involved in your group, so the next time I make another Displaced fic, leave it alone.
7632222 Perhaps, but Sebaste is not a part of your group.Now sure, adding his story to your group might be part of your rules, but it is clearly stressing him out. You have probably seen that, and yet continue to state that it's alright to do so. You are more or less cyber bullying him.
And honestly, what a person should do when they find a story they dislike is simply move on. Perhaps give it a dislike, but even so, just move on. Criticism involves pointing out flaws in the story, and speaking with the writer to explain what they did incorrectly.
What your people are doing is adding stories they just flat out dislike into what is essentially a garbage bin. If people see that it is a part of that group, they would consider it a bad story and just move on, negatively impacting the writer and spitting on his/her hard work.
Sure, Displaced is very common, but that's like saying My Little Pony is common on this site. So what? People are expressing their ideas and imagination here so they can share what they feel is their brilliant ideas. They can use whatever they want as a stepping stone, whether it be the Lore of the Displaced, the universe of Fallout Equestria, or even the concept of the Conversion Bureau. It's just how people work.
The Displaced are a form of building block due to their adaptation of the Multiverse Theory. It allows people to radically change the My Little Pony universe while still being able to access other versions
7632313 Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I was speaking to an expert on cyber bullying.
You do realize that bullying is more than just "Threaten threaten threaten" or "Be a Prick be a Prick Be a Prick". There's many different forms of bullying, some being passive. Like what you folks are doing.
You've been pressuring him to just accept that you people are in the right in adding his story to your group, when all he wants is for his stories to not be in your group. And I checked your groups rules, which, might I add, seem a bit contradictory to themselves.
And again, it's his story, which He should be able to govern to which group he feels it belongs to. You are treating it like it's your property, as if you wrote it and decided "This belongs in the absolutely disgusting group."
Sebastian wrote it, and he can choose what to do with his own creations. If you want me to compare it with what you believe is the only type of bullying, then here you go.
It's like your two bigger kids at the playground holding a younger child's prized possession in your hands, passing it back and forth while the kid is in the middle, desperately trying to get it back.
And trust me, I know what bullying is. Sure, my example might be just a cliche movie plot or whatever, but it fits here rather well.
Sure, you and your buddy say you are just, as you put it,
But here's the thing: Thats like telling a kid with no legs that he can't walk, while you can. Granted, it's nowhere near as offensive, but there's still venom in each word.
And also, your buddy here isn't the one "Witch-Hunting". That would be the person who first added Seb's stories to your group. He has currently added all three of Seb's stories, without fail. It very much looks like he is actively targeting Seb's stories, or at the very least, Displaced stories.
Also, in regards to your comment on Blocking users or ignoring him, Seb has a right to voice his opinion on the matter, and, in the Discord group for Displaced, has already stated that he blocked him. He is voicing his displeasure and wanting you to remove his story from your group, which he can do.
Great chapter can you do more
7635268 First chapter is in the works as we speak!
Interesting however i will save my vote until i' read a bit more.
7635547 Well, I have the first chapter in the works as we speak, so you'll see it either later tonight or at the end of this week
7635569 Awsome
so the thing that discourages me from reading this is the fact that their ponys now really looking forward to a brave frontier crossover two one of my fav games to play
