This story is a sequel to Undead Robot Bug Crusaders
Apple Bloom is an undead ghoul, but that's OK. She's finally come to terms with her condition, and is determined to rise above her curse.
Sweetie Belle is a robot, but that's OK. With manual in hoof, she's prepared to learn everything she can about herself, and whatever the future holds.
Scootaloo is a changeling, but that's OK. Changelings are citizens now, and she's ready to do her part to show the world changelings can be friendly too.
Together, the three of them are getting by, one day at a time. They may never get their cutie marks, but that's not going to stop them from having fun, finding their talents, and maybe even going a week without causing massive amounts of property damage. Maybe.
Meanwhile, Babs Seed is still blissfully unaware of the unusual destiny that awaits her, Diamond Tiara is slowly finding her place in the world, and Ponyville is still the weirdest town in Equestria. But then again, what else is new?

Cover Art by someone close to me IRL who probably doesn't want anyone to know she made pony art.
Ever heard of...Cliffhanger?

I have notified random people on 2 discord servers and on EQD MD.
Ooh, a sequel!
Be sure to make a blog post tagged with the first story to notify your readers.
Fimfiction used to have a "sequel-notification" thing going some years back, but apparently it was only experiemental and they stopped doing it after, like, three months or so. Really, I can't think of why.
Btw, found a possible typo in the description:
Not sure, but shouldn't that be "she's"?
Well I haven't even read a chapter yet, but something calls out to me to type something... Something from the dawn of my youth...
But then I'd need to find all of the current iterations of their theme song that's already floating around the prior fic's comment sections!
Say... this wouldn't happen to be somewhat inspired by Tattletail, would it?
November 2013, so a little more than five years. Yeah it already been this long.
Ah, didn’t think this would be getting a sequel.
I’m still convinced Twilight is a Lich and that’s why she knew how to hide Apple Bloom
Yes a sequel, thought this was wrapped up. I hope for some drama in the future.
This is one I'm really happy to see getting a sequel! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Also, technically Gabby is a crusader... Just putting that out there.
Oh, so we're going to have side stories about DT. This would be interesting to see how her life is now turning.
Either start or was starting
slowly

That or the word be should be place right after she'd.
I understand, the plunder vines were a lifetime ago.
Sell it to Spike, he is known for spending lots to money on tasty treats.
ITS BACK BAYBE!!!
Heh, a nice start to a story i really enjoyed.
Woot.
Oh yeah. Hell, in one homebrew Epic thing for 5e, Necromancer Wizards can become Archliches. Without needing to be evil or the phylactery needing to be powered by souls or slowly going insane. So you could have a Lawful Good Archlich Necromancer Wizard. Who can eventually learn literally every spell in the game. Yes even that one.
Yes, I would imagine, yes.
Pancakes are good.
That WOULD help, yes.
A common sentiment, yes.
I would imagine she would.
Fuck you, that was amazing.
Beg pardon?
That is completely fair.
I am entirely OK with that.

Do you have proof and/or evidence to vindicate this?
Would you rather he be annoying or a sadistic monster who could plunge the world into a chaotic apocalypse on a whim if he so chose?
Twilight?
HOW?!
Neither needs to blink, so I think it's a matter of whose focus lapses first.
Yeah, that may be a wise decision.
Creepy.
Raven Inkwell. Don't see much about her.
You can see body heat, you can read binary code and can resist EMPs which normally fry machines.
She has a point.
That'd about do it, yes.
Ah, so Season 4 premiere. GOD that feels so long ago. When things weren't consistently going to shit.
I suppose that's fair.
AH.
That's fair.
If nothing else, that's a testament to the show's quality and tenacity.
I disagree, that sort of shit scars a person on a deep level.
I suppose I can understand that.
OH yeah.
Hello...
In the rough.
Precisely.
I can live with that.
I think you meant to type shuffled
looking forward to more on Diamond Tiara the CMC and Babs.
PS:I am betting on werewolf for Babs, or at the very least some kinda were-creature
Soooo... Twitch likes musical theatre, then?
This is incredibly pedantic, but I just have to point it out. The word "Install" isn't new. It's middle English, and derived from Latin. That word's been in use for centuries, and its progenitors for probably thousands of years. In (into) Stallum (place) -> Installare -> Install. It literally just means to put something in place.
You install furniture. You install dictators. You install doors.

Obviously all Alicorns are liches. You didn't really believe that "ascension" hooey did you? Like some kind of natural apotheosis occurs to those who prove themselves "worthy?" Hah.
We just have to figure out where her phylactery is.
Woo. Sequel! Added to my 'Can't wait' list just like the last one was on.
9399948
You might want to read the first story. We already know what happens to Babs. It's explained at the end of the time travel arc.
9400075
I did read it, I just dont remember what happened to her XD
I'm really excited to see that the sequel is finally out!!
Wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf
Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg
Thank you for the sequel!!!
Hmmmmmmm............HMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Magic’s: The Gathering Reference for the win!
Heck yeah for sweetie bot

Basically the Spider Bite changed her genetic code to a 1 in a million sequence that makes her future children Naturally Born Thestrals, Aka Batponies. This in turn is stated to have brought the entire species back from extinction. So while Babs herself is completely normal and the same as far as she's concerned, she is now strange by virtue of becoming the literal mother of all vampires in the future.
Spoilers for anyone who didn't read the original.
A sequel! I am so glad to see it!
I bet Twilight thought the same thing every now and then.
9399764
Nope. It’s just a thought that popped into my head when one of the two good lich’s commented on how good Twilight’s spellwork and I thought “Why would Twilight know a spell made to hide an undead’s apperance or more notably stop an undead from falling apart?” One of the more ridiculous reasons as to why she would know that is because she herself was an undead and so she had to cast said spell on herself to hide her appearance/dark magic, and that’s why she didn’t see either of the lichs despite one of them commenting on wanting to see, because she was afraid of being discovered.
As to how, I honestly have no idea though I would have to bet on that one other good Lich who works at Celestia’s school that got mentioned a while back and there being some accident or something.

I thinks that’s more of a jab about Applebloom being a farmer and not knowing technological terms and thinking it was some sci-if mumbojumbo
I sense a shenanigan involved magic card game and hi-tec VR system. Probably instead of 'Power Ponies', we gonna have 'Ogres & Oubliettes' edition?
9400340
Magic the gathering Vr would be so cool
9399597
Wonder what’s Gabby’s secret or what she’s going to turn into?
I like this character development. Keep it coming.
Now I really want that Ghoul Tag to be a video game or something
yes yes yes this a million times yes this!
(im still working on my audio reading of the first story but its slow going i work long shifts and im just one pony
and i screw up...alot...which doesnt help)
Yay! A sequel to one of the first fanfics I read in the fandom!
Let Topol tell you all about Tradition, and the song that everybody should know by heart:
That moment when you realized you put a fic into favorites before actually reading it.
9399473
I think it works if it's a contraction of "she had".
The sequel's out. The sequel is out and I wasn't notified. I feel rather indignant. ... Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
There is an extra 'and' that shouldn't be there.

Fimfiction used to have a sequel-notification system in place a few years back... for about three months, then it was suddenly removed again, and never added back in.
