VioletRose13


Just another ordinary Pegasister looking to share her stories with others.

E

Everypony in the land of Equestria has a purpose; Violet Rose was told that many times, but she didn’t entirely believe it when it came to her. She usually spent her time by herself, but when a deranged pirate named Jackpot Spade invades Ponyville and threatens to destroy Equestria if Violet doesn’t give herself to him, she’ll have to team up with a group of ponies AND different creatures to save Equestria by LEAVING it.

Until finally after walking and/or trotting the paths for what felt like weeks, she finally found someplace different from the other places she had encountered. Violet Rose found herself in a town known only as Ponyville.

‘Hmmm, this place looks interesting.’ She thought, casually walking into town.

.... you have no idea :ajbemused:

“Thick cannon smoke?” Tempest finished as she gazed up at the sky with wide, terror-filled eyes. “Déjà vu…”

Isn't it though :pinkiecrazy:

And as usual, everypony is completely incapable of doing anything with a magical macguffin :facehoof:

Everyone else joined the griffon at the edge of the ship and saw that he was right; ponies were either in cages or shackles and they all looked miserable and terrified at the same time. Andante was in the center of it all with Jackpot Spade’s ship as the centerpiece… and from the looks of it, it looked like a huge pack of Timberwolves showed up. Everyone gasped.

Unless Adante is to Sirens what Celestia is to ponies, i can't see her being anywhere near powerful enough to accomplish any of this (especially not weakening Discord's magic when he wasn't even there) :trixieshiftleft:

We need an explanation to Adante being so much more powerful than the Dazzlings (remember that they were defeated by the Pillars) :moustache:

“Help? You mean… from outside Equestria?” Ocellus asked.

... what about inside Equestria, you know, the two mares that move the sun and moon around, have an army and knows a great deal of things, and could probably deal with Adante ? :applejackunsure:

“Those are all good tries, ya’ll, but I don’t think even all of those creatures combined could stop that .” Capper said, pointing his finger down at the chaos.

... really :ajbemused:

You are going to need to explain Adante somewhere along the line, because you are making her up to be far too powerful with no explanation of how she is so powerful (remember there have been Sirens before and they were not this powerful)


Other than that good Job, i like it so far :twilightsmile:

“I do, master. Everything is going according to plan. With Andante’s help, we’ve captured Princess Twilight Sparkle, along with her little friends AND the rest of the citizens of this Ponyville place, and we’ve taken full control.”

Which makes next to no sense :ajbemused: Adante makes no sense, also you Captain Jack Sparrow wannabe, she didn't "help" you take control, she did all the work and she is still the only reason you're in control :ajbemused: (sorry about me whining so much about this) :twilightblush:

“All good news, captain. Everypony is cooperating nicely.” She replied smugly. “Even Princess Twilight and her little lackeys are under my control.”

Explain. Her. Being. This. Powerful. PLEASE :twilightangry2:

“Don’t you colts worry ‘bout a thing. I’ll keep an eye on them for you, every single one of them.” Andante chimed in. “And if any of them tried to escape, they’d have to answer to me and my posse of Timberwolves and Cragadiles.”

You guys do realize that Ponyville is visable from Canterlot right :applejackconfused:

“Of course. What are partners for?” Andante nuzzled Spade with her giant muzzle, but he quickly pushed her away.

You're doing all the work though :moustache:

“Yes, sir!” Andante nervously answered before speeding off, leaving Spade by himself.

She is too powerful to be scared of him.


Sorry again if i whine a bit much, but this plan relies so heavily on Andante being able to somehow keep Celestia and Luna, as well at what they have at their disposal as rulers of a nation, from coming in, defeating her and freeing everyone captured, that i can't really like that part of the story.

The rest i like and find interesting don't get me wrong, but i ended up focusing a lot on Andante and how the plan relies so much on no one noticing that something bad happened in Ponyville and then coming in and putting a stop to it all :applejackunsure:

“You’ve been saying that twenty-eight times already! It’s getting annoying; give it a rest.” Tempest grumbled.

You counted :trixieshiftright:

“But what can we do?! We hardly have any power!” Princess Skystar cried.

How ? :rainbowhuh:
And yes Andante did it i know, but they are miles away from her and it didn't seem like she took anything from them like Tirek (or Starlight) did, so how does what Andante did work and how is it still affecting them (especially Discord, who wasn't even there) ?

“This is where the story gets… a little dark.” She said solemnly.

I think i see where this is going :pinkiesad2:

“It all started when our daughter was a year old.” Snow continued. “We were all at the beach together… when it happened. Jack was building a sand castle with our daughter when three or four unicorn guards came up and hit him in the back of the head. I gasped and put our baby onto my back as she cried; I watched Jack being picked up by the guards’ magic and I reached out my hoof to grab his, but it was all in vain. The guards just… just took him away from me

Wait what, they didn't give the reason for their actions... then i have to doubt if they were really guards.
And Snow never tried to find out why these "guards" grabbed him ? :trixieshiftright:

I tried to look for her all over the house… but she was nowhere to be found. …I never saw my husband or my child again after that.”

Just the house ? :fluttershysad:
Why didn't she check outside or look all over town, and those three even said that they were there for the filly and if she's gone after you get knockad out it should be obvious that those three took her.

“The last thirty-seven times you asked that, the answer was ‘NO’!” Snow Diamond yelled. “…This time, it’s actually ‘yes’. We’re here.”

You counted :trixieshiftright:

“I mean that this place is filled with them, to keep out any and all intruders.” Snow Diamond explained. “When I first discovered this place, I made the mistake of stepping in the wrong place, and as a result… I ended up getting pelted with different kinds of pie and I had to wash whipped cream, banana peels, and occasional pumpkin seeds out of my mane for a few weeks. And the worst part was that those pies literally exploded right in my face.

*Looks at Discord accusingly*

‘He’s not mean.’ Snow said to herself with a furrowed brow.

He invaded their home and took over the town through magical coercion, no matter his reason, that is mean :moustache:

Jackpot Spade is supposed to be modeled after Captain Jack Sparrow and Spade's fiery temper is something every pony and every creature is afraid of. No one wants to get on his bad side, no matter how powerful they are

“ We're honorable men

Who invades a town through hostile means and keep the residents prisoners with the threat of violence :trixieshiftright:

Will we ever get an explanation as to why Andante is so powerful? Also, how come you haven't addressed any of Asolem2's concerns?

9254581
You'll see why Andante is as powerful as she is soon enough. Just be patient

“Why? …Because I’ve always been craving more and more power since the beginning and now that I have it, there’s nothing in this world than can stop me.”

Aaaand he's doomed :ajsmug:

‘What have I gotten myself into…?’

... You were working for a guy called Torment, what did you think you were getting yourself into :trixieshiftright:

Also thank you for the explenations, they made sense (as much sense as anything in a magical land filled with pastel colored ponies and mythological creatures can) :eeyup:

Now there is just the questions around the Blue Flower power that needs answer, we have its origin but now we need to know what it actually does... let's see what you come up with :raritywink:

9255199
I'm just glad you're being patient with me

Well, Jackpot Spade didn't ask any questions about what Torment's plans were. And he didn't think that all of this was what Torment wanted all along.

Tempest cleared her throat, took out a clipboard, and in a disguised voice and faux English accent, she said to them, “Why hello, gentleclolts.”

This is hilarious... and i wish i could hear this voiced :trollestia:

“Alright, fine. Have it your way.” Tempest said. “Oh but before I go, could one of you please be a dear and go tell your boss that he isn’t getting his “Congratulations on Pillaging, Plundering, Pilfering, Ransacking, and Invading an Entire Defenseless Pastel Ponies’ Village” cake?

... are we sure Pinkie is still in her cage :trixieshiftright:

“Are you sure this is gonna work?” Snow Diamond whispered.

It's a Trojan Cake, of course it will work, it always does... Tempest would know :trollestia:

“What?! HOW?!” He yelled.

Trojan Cake, no one ever sees it coming :coolphoto

“D-D-D… Death Wish?” She muttered.

........... I will be honest, did not see that one coming :moustache:

What can I say? This story has lots of surprises :ajsmug:

Gotta agree with this. Sirens can't steal magic and shouldn't be able to steal Discord's magic, given how powerful he is (Tirek had to take all the magic in Equestria except for the alicorns' before he could do that). This is basically a transparent way to nerf characters who should have been able to defeat this particular gang of baddies without trouble. Also, with his body shape, I don't think Discord would survive a trek through miles of snow and ice without any kind of winter gear or his powers. He's going to lose a lot of heat through his tail because scales have no cold protection and he's too skinny to hold much heat. He's furry, so he's better prepared than a human with no gear, but that's not saying much.

“Even after all of this, you STILL haven’t put 2 and 2 together?

22 :pinkiecrazy:

“Ugh. Do you realize how corny that sounds, Professor Rarity?” Smolder asked.

You realize you live in a world where things like love and friendship is literally a "I/We Win" right ? :trixieshiftright:

9268443
Don't forget, she's still a dragon and she's trying to act tough

P.S. Spoiler alert: there's only one chapter left

This was a nice story... maybe a few to many scenes that were near copies of scenes from the movie, but other than that it was nice :twilightsmile:

I hope there's a complete soundtrack of the songs used in this story.
