This is an excellent chapter. I really enjoyed it .
And Peppy you big tease, ending the chapter on a cliffhanger that's so, so unexpected
Now I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, how well do Ponies fight Griffins I wonder.
>>Clonetrooperkev
Ah a Star Trek reference +5 internet points
116044 YES. Finally found time to read that now that the chapter is out and I LOVE it! The only problem I would have is that Moon beam seems to know what happened (which she wouldn't) and that Blueblood is dead (however much I want to make him so). Otherwise that was amazing. So much fun.
116490 More win and more please.
116923 Facehoofed so hard when you told me what that was about. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't know right off from talking to you
116929 I really couldn't help it. That was definitely the best place to leave it.
And then Twilight had to take another life for the second time. At least that's my prediction. And knowing my luck with predictions regarding fanfics, I'm 65% sure that I'm wrong
ka...me....you know where this is going.
Well now that we know Blueblood is imprisoned, it's only a matter of time until his execution, I vote Public Execution. Someone pass the Popcorn please.
Oh yeah and that Griffon assassin, they ain't got no chance against Twilight and Moon Beam
Huzzay! another update, and so soon! I feel slightly less bad about killing Blueblood now.
116989 I think the griffion will kick their asses from equestria to hell....then detroit
I think twilight has a mixture of Stockholm and some desire to save creatures that are in pain or something. I'm not objecting cause that's about the entirety of the Pokemon games and I love those.
Go Twilight go
Wow Thanks for the update man, I didn't see it coming.
Grab your tinfoil hats guys and gals it's time for another wall-o-text!
Wall-O-Text.
Ah appeasement it seems like it could work to keep war abay, yet really it only serves to wett the appetite for more! Though I can't help but wonder if the Griffons arn't moving to fast here. The implacation is that they have been scoping out the situation with Nightmare Moon for weeks. Yet they seem to be making the same mistake that the royal guard made. They are taking thier advantege as given. I don't know if anyone aside from the Queen herself knows but she can draw striength from the moon itself. While a risk given how weary she is this can only work against the griffons given that the moon doesn't set anymore. Sure it's brightness veries but it never sets but the fact remains that it is always in the air ready to lend aid to it's misstress be it passivly or activily as the Dragons and Royal guard learned not too long ago. You would think that being an airborn race the griffons would know better then to mess with someone who could turn the force of gravity against them.
I'm not 10% sure here but I can think of a few possible ways for twilight to lend aid to her queen. the first is to keep running and then teliport herself to nightmare's side. With the momentem of her run and the reduced distences of teliportation she could have enough momentum to push Nightmare out of the line of fire. I don't know if she'll be able to clear the dager zone herself but would YOU like to be the poor sod who ingured Twilight befor the eyes of both Moon beam and Nightmare Moon? I sure as hell wouldn't it would not end well. The next option I see her using is throwing up a wide sheild of magical energy. I would be surprized if she Couldn't cover several dozen meter of land with a sheild gien what else Twilight has been knwn to pull off. Or perhaps most frighting of all, Twilight goes into Rage mode like she did in FPK. I would not wish to be within the same town with her in that situation.
And speaking of our dear unicorn, that dream was really intesting. The part where she was falling made me think of Alice in Wonderland. Though what came next has all the juicy details. why did she find herself in the Canterlot Throneroom? Who had assulted Nnightmare Moon? How long had Celestia been observing the scene befor making herself known? Speaking of the ruler of the sun her line of questioning was far too direct given the situation. I'd say that she was the one pulling the strings here but I have no real proof other then her final line about getting twilight to admit her feelings. that said something tells me that not all is as it seems with this dream if it even was a dream an not some sort of vision or telipathing chat with dear Celestia.
Consider yourself lucky Fancy Pants Nightmare deems you usefull enough that she put you in you place without feeling the need to lash you with a whip of magical flame, or beat you bloody, or removing your magic. Granted this was a first offence and all, but even Blueblood shows that even minor infractions on a first offence come with rather harsh consiquences.
Someone brought up twilight's need to lend aid to the wounded, well I don't know for certain but I've heard of Flourince Nightengale syndrom. Named after a nurse who fell for a patient under her care. Combine that with the possibility of Stokholm and abandoment issues, and twilight might has some very real problems here.
Well I'm out of steam now so take off the tinfoil hats and yank out the earplugs all clear.
Wall-O-Text
Twilight: *desperate voice* oh no! my queen~! *awkwardly deep manly yell* IMAH FIRIN' MAH LAZOR BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *Massive laser disintegrates griffon assassin and they all live happily ever after then end.*
116986 Ha me....
: Feel the power of the dark side! *Force chokes the gryphon*
Remember kids, lasers maybe flashy but they are much to fast at finishing things.
Please if Twilight wanted to be really nasty all she has to do is this. Make an airbubble in the griffon's blood stream. not could could said griffon feel the air moving about, witch is creepy as hell. It would depending on how big it was and where it reached first could cause a fatel heart attack or stroke. The funny thing about medical knowlege is it can be used to mend or to maim, why else do you think they have Doctors take an oath that begins with "First do no harm."
117119 Don't you mean Detrot?
117376 The biggest difference between the guards and the griffons is that the griffons are a lot better at battle due to their nature. I mean, we ALL know they're going to lose, but they'll definitely come closer than the guards did to their goal. As far as what Twilight does goes, you'll just hafta wait for the next chapter. Can't say anything that wouldn't ruin it. I can't say that I wasn't thinking of Alice when I was writing that out. I absolutely love Alice in Wonderland and it's such a great plot device (hehe plot device). I'd say its 20% darker though. IT was, indeed, a dream, albeit a VERY telltale dream. It was kind of a mix between the past present and stuff that just didn't happen in the real world. The Nightmare Moon scene in Canterlot was a reliving of the first night, but Nightmare was more grievously wounded. Celestia had been there the 'whole time' and she was merely a vision of the Sun Princess dreamt up by Twilight's mind to force her to realize herself (even if she only knew it in the dream and forgot immediately afterwards.)
117384 Doctor Octogonopus is a much better shoop da whooper.
117431 HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
117549 That would just be EVIL.
117125 I try my hardest
117437 They may kill quickly, but it leaves you with more time to kill more
117603
But there is only one assassin, so why would speed matter?
Assassin = Chuck Testa
117651 You might have thought that Griffon assassin was alive.
mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/rsz/850_small.jpg
Its dead.
Seems I didn't have to wait long for the next chapter and I like that. Another good chapter. Wonder what Moon would do if this assassin hurt Twilight in front of her... Again, can't wait for the next chapter Peppy.
Heh I have intresting friends in real life life. One of them is a former EMT, worked as some weird cross between security officer and teacher at a ward full of kids just a few screw ups away from the state mental facility. He also has enough firepower to make Burt from the Tremmors movies green with envy. The guy's brimming some of the most intresting and horrifying knowlege you can think of. He's one of my best friends and a fun guy to hang around with.
So Twilight's mind is trying to make her accept her feeligs for Nightmare now eh? Well I can't say it's taking the best path to do so but sometimes with smart people you have to take some extream mesures to make them see the reality of a situation. Still now that she has in part accepted her feelings her mind will ease up on her a bit and use more subtle methods to drive the point home.
Also Peppy, why do you like to suspend us over cliffs like this? I'm asking because I'm your onlinefriend and I think you have a problem.
117723 Sorry, I have an addiction for dangling people by the skin of their necks. I'm probably going to need an intervention.
117651 117662 files.sharenator.com/oh_you_RE_Masturbational_Motivationals_Dear_Blank-s447x335-180525-535.jpg Made me quite hard.
117628 True true.
Don't worry Peppy the first step is admitting you have a problem.
Have some "Fun" facts it only takes about five pounds of pressure to break the clavicle bone! Also something only needs to be two inches long to pass through the eye and penitrait the brain!
Also to keep this relitivly on topic of the fic itself, I wonder how the conversation between Twilight and her parents will play out after Twilight and Nightmare hook up? " Uhh mom dad, you know I wrote you a letter a while back explaining that I'm working for Queen Moon now? Well ah, things have er advanced beyond that point now. I guess what I'm trying to say is umm, I'm her majestie's consort now eheheh.
118059 You will love and tolerate our relationship, or she'll grind you into a paste using the moon! Yes, I know, she IS awesome.
In other news: The War on Griffons: not really that bad, when we all realized that we could just fling nets covered in tar at them and they wouldn't be able to do jack shit. [and there was much celebration]
You sir, must live on a mountain, where you keep all us readers in a cage. When you get bored, you dangle us off the edge, just to see out reaction (frustration, of course! you keep doing this, and we wanna see what you're writing, dammit!)
been listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kAdLiizR-4&feature=related over and over, someone help me!
Cloudy gets the Awesome Carriage of Darkness! None will be able to refuse her while she's using that!(too bad Pyretread is heading towards the castle expecting to find her there, or has died on the way... oh well.)
Wonder what Twi will do to that poor feathered bastard? Hopefully, his suffering will become legend, even in pony hell.
I think I've been lurking around janushyde for too long, I'm developing speculation and long winded posts!
peppy.....im going to stay calm about the cliff hanger im not going to explode in your face im not going to ex- YOU SON OF A GUN YOU AND YOUR CLIFF HANGERS THEYRE DRIVING ME INSANE STOP IT GODDAMN IT!
Join the dark side Rebelfire! you get to be as offkilter as you like and noone will look at you funny because they'll be petrified of you ending thier life on a whim! Also The dark side has Moon Beam, I rest my case.
Heh the something funny I just noticed Green Inks second article comes out a day after this attempte on Queen Moons life. I get the feeling that he won't be too hapy about his work getting buried because ever other paper in Equestria will be talking about the war with the griffons.
Meanwhile in Ponyvil I wonder how long the slow boil will last befor someone cracks, slips up, or just plain confesses and tells Spike about the reason that Twilight stayed behind. Speaking of him though even if he doesn't find out about Brook for quite some time yet I can only wonder what's going on in his head. Then ontop of his crrent stress he finds out about a Griffon attack on the new capitle? Yeah this is going to get far far worse befor it shows any signs of getting better isn't it? Way to make things worse Fluttershy.
118090 Lol @ that reaction
118141 Killing with kindness, as they say.
118165 And THAT'S how Equestria was formed! The nights would be slightly warmer if they had something flammable ready for those tar covered nets. I wonder how griffon tastes when well done? um num num.
118261 Probably similar to their chicken plot *drools*
Griffons are part lion, meaning that they probiy don't taste too good. I've never heard of anyone clamoring for lion meat before. Now fried gator on the other hand? Just like fried chicken ah the lings you learn at Martygraw.
As for the tar covered net,s how are they going to launch the high enough, and with enough prescision to hit the griffons? As for me? I recomend the kefka method i.e. lacer thier primary watersupply with some highly deadly chemical agent when they are distracted with other matters. Granted this is a captile V villain tactic but given the situation I think it's fair game. After all nopony ever said Nightmare was a hero and while Twilight started out as one she is clearly falling to the darkside, thus allowing her acess to the far less moral yet at times more effectiv anti-hero and villain tactics. Also this is Twilight we're talking about her she can deal with an ursa minor and that's WITH the heavy restrictions of being a hero on a non action oriented show for tween age girls. Just imagin the nasty tricks she can pull off in THIS story!
Which reminds me, will we see the infamous Gilda sometime soon? is she the as-of-yet unnamed assassin?
Also: its magic! If you want accurately tossed nets, you can get accurately tossed nets. Pyretread approves. Or, maybe he doesn't. he could be dead.
118385 Perhaps we'll see her. I'd say that, if she were the assassin, she'd have the shortest cameo in the history of cameos
118334
How to use nets you ask? Dropped by pegasi waiting in ambush in cloud banks. Or launched from seige weapons mounted on flying vehicles.
118430
Or you could fling them in front of you when the griffons charge, you know they love their claw to hoof (or would it be beak to snout? Melee?) combat, and hold up shields to prevent any distance attack until they run out of ammo.
Just another tactic of subdual/murder.
I wonder if Big Mac and Applejack count as exclusions to being drafted since they technically seem to be Apple Blooms guardians, unless Peppy is going to introduce the absentee parents or send Apple Bloom to live with Fluttershy or someone whilst the Apple family is off to war.
Also I can't help but wonder what happened to all the armour and swords during the clean up of all the bodies, likely the armour and swords will be reforged and repaired but what to do with the Dragons?. If I know Nightmare Moon she probably made herself a trophy from one of those Dragons she killed? Y'know like a mounted Dragon head on the wall. Also can Dragon bone be used in armour? Like in Dragon Age, I imagine it would be pretty tough, though not as tough as star metal.
Also wouldn't it be an amazing twist if the Griffon Assassin was Gilda? Then if Twilight kills her she'll be responsible for killing a friend of Rarity and Rainbow Dash. Which would only serve to further drive them apart and make this story 20% cooler .
116923
I have been playing to much star wars KoTOR and now i want a Darth Sol (evil Sith Celestia xD ) in the story
"Nightmare Moon had left with cloudy" -
"We are soon going to war with Giffonia" - Isn't it Griffonia?
116923 Oh, thank you! Now I don't have to write that out myself! xD Thanks! /]
116923 You have earned yourself a mustache!
116923 Just letting you know your comment still cracks me up after all this time. Thanks!
