This Is Where The Fun Begins!
....Yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhh...about that...
P.S. Not sure if it's my browser or whatever, but the header art for this chapter appears to be broken.
Illusions? Much better than faking another brand.
...
Shouldn't this be "prickling"?
Damn it Nova
I'm glad the wait is over.
An illusion! Pyromancer or not, Ember and co would really benefit from learning that.
Nice. Two new (maybe) main characters.
I'm really curious about the swirly tattoos.
This mare with the tattoos sounds pretty interesting. I'm gonna guess it's some form of advanced magic capable for earth ponies to use.
That, however, shall be the only assumption I'll make from the prologue. I learned my lesson last time.
With that said, let the carnage resume!
Well, off to an... interesting start. Rather than build up to an eventual shitstorm, you give an actual storm right out of the gate.
And since this is a fresh start (sort of), time to reset this old thing;
Emotionally Significant Death Counter: 0... for now.
...Why do I have a terrible feeling about this? Oh... wait. I just remembered what series I'm reading. This will come into play, mark my words.
Anywho, so glad to see this story uploaded. Been eagerly waiting for it since EotP ended. Looking forward to this new enjoyable torment of a story.
Emotionally Significant Death Counter: 0
Waiting a week between chapters is gonna be rough, this is too good.
HERE WE GO
More than a year later!
...Yeeahh...saw that one coming a mile away....damn urchins.
I'm also betting that, given their luck, the kids were giving patdowns while robbing them blind.
She needs an additional hole in her head. I hope she gets one later.
*Sees update, reads title
Oh boy, here we go
*Sees title underneath picture
Pretty obvious the kids knew what they were doing. Now the real question is whether they're under the payroll of the RPR and if they found out.
That's a pretty shiny city, there.
aw shit
The phrase "Better wiped than striped" comes to mind.
On your left is a moderately calm, build-up chapter, and on your right is the one Ember's hunting, guaranteeing that a small shitstorm will cycle through within the next couple of chapters.
They really need to shut their mouths on the anti-slaver talk.
Seriously, if you're anti-slave in a slave town you're only 1 step above property, so they'd better be extra careful.
...Is it just me, or does Hunter look almost exactly like Spitfire?
*looks at picture
*orders new heart and feels
*proceeds to read
Is it just me, or does Ace feel like a fusion of Calamity and Garrus? Might just be the sniper rifle and the attitude.
FuckingOw
The moment I saw that picture I knew this wouldn't end well. I just figured it would've been Ember and Ace that got captured.
Well, time for an insane, half-thought-through rescue plan.
I'm definitely liking Ace the more and more we see of her.
Also glad they're out of Hole, though I've got a pretty strong feeling we haven't seen the last of Hunter.
9448638
Yeah, the more Ace does, the more I end up liking her. It's a little sad that she parted ways with them but at least it's only temporary.
On that note, the escape from RPR HQ and the bridge plan were great. I'm disappointed I didn't get around to reading this sooner.
So Embers missing half a ear, a tooth, and her mare friend. What's next? A rib?
I'm really liking Ace now.
...I like Ace.
Don't like how she was eyeballing SCaR, though.
This makes me have a sad.
From the moment they were name-dropped in EotP, I knew I needed to see a Tolan. Wasn't expecting a six-legged T-Rex made of iron, but that just makes it even more terrifying.
And as for Nova... there's no witty jokes this time. That one hurt.
I am 100% all for seeing that motherfucker downed by a railgun.
Now I'm regretting my previous comment. I was expecting Ember to lose a rib or three. I think I'm gonna go sulk now.
So, we finally get some small measure of context about the situation back on Equus. The fact that Equestria was at war and that Auris was a state-secret manufacturing world definitely adds credence to my previous theory about the Azimuth being a warship. That thing must've been state of the art if it was being developed on Auris (which is now apparently the pony version of Reach).
Also, I would hate to see you as a D&D DM. First a six-legged, iron-skinned T-Rex and now clickers from Last of Us? Whatever's in that warehouse had better be bloody worth it.
I also really feel the desire to give Nova a big hug.
What can possibly go wrong!
All I can say is... OW!
Ouch.
You'd think the Clickers - sorry, wailers - might challenge the Tolan, since they're driven by nothing except sound and instinctual hunger. Then again, I guess even infected zombie ponies would know better than to mess with that iron-skinned monstrosity.
...Fucking...OW...
OK if Ember is hard enough to pull herself off of rebar and to run into gun emplacements, why did Hunter scare her to inaction? Still good chappy and sorry about the Zebra Stallion. Hopefully the crew can now gear up and heal a bit in piece.
Man, with what we've discovered so far about the past, the Synarchy makes Equestria from FoE seem inclusive by comparison.
Good to see that monstrous bastard dead. Now it's just a matter of getting back to Nova and Gauge, getting out of the foundry alive and meeting up with Ace. Provided Ember doesn't become a wailer herself.
HA! GET STONEHENGE'D, MOTHERFUCKER!!!
:big thonk:
Can we railgun Hunter next? Or at least lead her to something that ends in a similarly pulpy death?
Oh yeah, this is a thing that still exists. Hmm...
Good to have Ace back again. Still don't know what she wants with that drone, though...
Finally caught up!
Pretty good thus far, though I do have to wonder, if Ember was really infected by Cordyce- I mean the wailer fungus, as I suspect she was, how long until she realises it?, and how the heck is she gonna get out of that one? Maybe she'll find a convenient cure somewhere in Bluewater Gorge?
We know she gets better, but it's still tough to deal with being turned into a zombie.
Now we just have to find out how she gets cured
9536387
Well, you never know, it's not 100% guaranteed that she'll make it. There is a tiny possibility that she might not survive, and that Ace will take up the mantle as the new protagonist of the story.
Or maybe I'm just too used to reading stories where the main protagonist can always die, and sometimes does; idk.
9537043
The prologue of the first story, begins near the end. When they have collected all the pieces of the message and are about to fight someone very dangerous.
This is told from Embers point of view and it is at least several months into the future. So we know Ember survives until that point and wont become a wailer
9537064
... Yup, you're right. It's been so long since I read the first story, that I had forgotten about that, my bad.
Again the comparisons between Ace and Garrus show themselves. Really cool to see this softer side of the outlaw; feeling empathetic towards Nova's loss and Ember's seemingly impending zombification.
And, even though I got this prediction wrong last time, I feel we now know who the pegasus that speaks to Ember in the first story prologue is.
Now I shall sit back and wait for 24th to prove me wrong. Again.
FUCK. I knew something bad was gonna happen the second time she climbed into the vent system and it happened to be longer.
Oh damn
I was going to make a witty comment about all the FoE references, but...
Nova...
Either she's been shunted somewhere isolated, or you've gone and pulled a Swift Spear/Zip on us. Severely hoping it's the former.
Holy SHIT!!!
Poor Nova; damn...
Also, if that facility specialises in robotics and cybernetics research, could it be that the only way Ember is gonna survive the wailer parasite is to turn herself into a cyborg, or even an android? Cause I sincerely doubt they are gonna find some miracle medicine/cure for pasitic fungi down there.
ohfuckwhatdidyoudo
