Waters Academy,
part 3
[Canterlot Castle]
“ Woof.” Rahs pointed out.
“Mai gitting sick because of it is a good enough reason not tah eat chocolate. But a'hm a might pissed that ah' can't have any more of Granny's Mud Brownies.” Applejack retorted.
“If you can't eat um any more ken ah have your share?” Applebloom asked.
“No.”Applejack frowned.
“Dang.”Applebloom fussed.
“Don't worry about it, Twilight and I tried that trick too when we first found about about Rahs and chocolate.” Spike offered.
The four of them were seated at a table in one of the smaller meeting rooms at the palace. Given Applejack's status as an Element Bearer, Spike's status as a Dragon Prince, and Rahs' status as Luna's adopted grand pup, most of the castle staff didn't so much bat an eye at the request to have lunch there.
They were used to nobles trying to use the location to impress dates, or make themselves seem more important to business associates. These four asking politely was hardly an issue.
Also there where bets being placed about when the explosion would happen.
Most of the castle staff knew the Sparkles and the CMC rather well.
The food was a bit more of a issue given what was ordered, but the head chef was used to it.
It didn't take long for the food to arrive and Rahs took note that Applejack was nearly drooling at the smell of it. Spike had known what Rahs was doing and had placed the order accordingly.
Spike was presented some ruby pasta, garnished with garnet and with pearl 'meatballs'.
Applebloom had a large slice of vegetarian lasagna and bread sticks.
Rahs and Applejack however were presented with two dishes of chicken Parmesan with broccoli.
A few side dishes were also added including bread sticks, some sausage, chicken fingers, a filet of trout, and a plate of bacon.
Rahs had fought vehemently against a single shared plate of spaghetti.
Rahs and Spike both watched the other two, gageing the reaction. Applebloom wrinkled her nose a bit at the spread though Applejack was torn between horror and rapture at the sight and smell of it.
“Woof.” Rahs pointed at the dishes before starting to roll a bread stick into the sauce of his meal.
“Ah can't eat this.....” Applejack protested.
“Actually you probably should.” Spike offered. “I've seen the notes Twilight has on you, and your body processes meat a lot better than normal ponies would. You require a much higher protein intake and the Witch-jack side of you has eaten at least four squirrels and a beaver in front of Fluttershy.”
“Was wondering why she was mad at me.” Applejack muttered.
“Bork.” Rahs offered pointing to the bacon.
“Right we might not even get any bacon if Twilight was here. She tried everything Rahs ate at least once growing up and didn't like any of it until it came to bacon. Fights have been had over this stuff.”Spike explained to Applebloom, who was the only one who didn't understand Rahs at the table.
“Tah be fair. Yer sisters weird.” Applejack muttered trying not to drool.
“Says the mare who changes into a wolf when too many spells are cast around her.” Spike grinned.
Rahs simply started eating waiting to see if hunger or the mares stubbornness would win out.
“Lemme try a bit of that.” Applebloom stated reaching for a piece of bacon.
“Applebloom!” Applejack fussed.
“What? You ain't looking like yer gonna eat it, and ah'm pretty sure ah had some of this already at tha gala wrapped around a cheese filled potato.” Applebloom stated.
“They served griffon food at the Gala?” Spike asked.
“Well there were a couple of griffons there so it makes sense.” Applebloom offered
“Bark.” Rahs smirked as Applejack glared at him..
“Ah am not being shown up by mai sister...”Applejack fussed.
“She's eating it and you're afraid of it....”
Applejack glared at Rahs before gathering up some of the pasta on a fork.
“Huh ain't bad. I like tha chewy bit better than the crispy bit though.” Applebloom offered. “ Though that crispy part might be good on a salad.”
Rahs smirked as every one ate, his ears however remained perked up , listening for the tell tale explosions that would mark his sister's reaction to her foal nappers. He rather hoped it would happen before they headed off to the next stop. Spike's comic shop had fliers about a small convention taking place in the East Vale Concert hall off East Vale ave.
Applebloom and Spike had managed to convince them to go have a look. Given Applejack thus far had no trouble, it might be worth a look now that all the doctor's appointments were over.
[Wonderbolts Academy.]
Of all the instructors at the academy the most easy going, and therefore the cadet favorite, was Soarin. He didn't push any pony that hard and was more often than not a push over when it came to the tests he offered. Though he also tended to surprise the cadets with rather telling observations and pointers even when he didn't seem to be paying the slightest bit of attention. He never stressed failures and was more the 'joy of flying' sort than one to push any sort of competition. He didn't yell and barely raised his voice at all. His presence also seemed to soften the usual hard-ass edge that Spitfire displayed, though the pair tended not to work on the same thing at the same time. It was well known that his training was more of a rest break to calm down and reflect between real classes than any sort of Wonderbolt exercise, though it was still training.
That said, the sight of him, dark blue mane crackling with lightning as he stormed across the ground of the plateau towards the gathered cadets and other instructors drew a great deal of attention from every one, including the three ponies and two fillies that had been rescued from a out of control tornado that had destroyed their balloon.
The landscapers were likely going to be mad as well as the grass under his hooves burned and sparked as the electricity crackled along his limbs, flashing blue arcs between his feathers.
His green eyes slid among the group of guests, one filly in particular before they locked on the cadets.
“Explain.”
The words left the easy going stallions throat like a peal of thunder that just brushed ones tail. The cadets all started to talk at once before a snap of the stallions wings and a massive jolt of lightning grounding out at his hooves silenced them.
The other instructors were at a loss, having never seen Soarin like this.
Fleetfoot on the other hoof had, she knew why as well and she needed to do something before the captain found a target. She wasn't sure if she could stop him if that happened.
“Soarin.... Soarin... hey, focus on me, hey, focus.... everything's fine, they're okay. I got this. Why don't you take them to the mess and see if Cookie can whip up some ice cream or something to calm every one down... Soarin, Soarin.. look at me..... focus...” Fleetfoot stated moving between the angry stallion and the others blocking his view with her wings spread. “She's fine, they're all fine and she's right there. Calm … caaalm...it's okay, it's okay.”
Soarin stared back at the mare trying to calm him before he closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
“Alright... I'm fine I'm fine...... “ Soarin sighed. “But I want to know what happened. And if I'm taking them to the mess. You get to explain to Spits.”
Fleetfoot twitched before sighing and nodding.
“Ladies.... “ Soarin spoke, his entire tone and demeanor changed back to the goofy Wonderbolt he was known to be. “Bet that was enough excitement for the day, how about we head over the mess and I'll see about getting something whipped up to help every pony relax a little. I could go for some pie myself...”
Fleetfoot watched them head off with the small orange pegasus bouncing up onto Soarin's back before she let out a sigh.
“Fuck....” Fleetfoot grumbled as she looked to the gathered cadets taking note that Rainbow Dash was missing.
[ Unknown manor, Canterlot]
“You!” Twilight snapped.
The blonde maned white furred unicorn stallion rolled his eyes a little as he strode into the room closing the door behind him His well manicured hooves and horn coupled with the suite gave the stallion the look of being very wealthy. Of course the compass rose cutie mark didn't seem to scream wealth, but Prince Blueblood did well enough without a cash cutie mark.
“ What the buck Prince?!” Twilight jabbed her hoof at the pony who had the decency to look ashamed at this.
“Sorry Twilight. I assure you this wasn't my idea.” Prince offered.
“That doesn't explain anything.”Twilight accused.
“I'm ashamed to bring it up because it's so stupid.” Prince offered back.
Twilight glared.
“Okay look. I've been trying to get my mother off my case about my seeing Dash for months now. You know how she is 'common trash', 'a no pony' yada yada yada. Well evidently one of her friends was having a bit of issue with her son and his obsession and she wanted me to talk to him. So I jumped at the chance to give her something else to focus on rather than how she disapproves of Rainbow Dash.”
“I thought you parents liked her?” Twilight questioned.
“My father does. He's thrilled to have some pony to discuss hoof ball with, despite the fact they like different teams. Mother on the other hoof has her nose so far in the air I fully expect Auntie Celestia's sun to burn it off one day.” Prince sighed. “At any rate the others will be here soon and I'd rather not steal their thunder and just let you see how stupid this is on your own.”
“Translation, you'd rather I be mad at them. And the moment I'm too dumb struck by their stupid to do anything you plan to run before I recover and start blasting.” Twilight growled.
“Good guess. But do recall I am a thrill seeker and being at ground zero for when you go off might be entertaining. I plan to use that moment to take cover behind those sandbags I've already set up in the corner. “ Prince grinned gesturing to the aforementioned bunker near the fireplace. “Should be fine so long as I'm not the target. Now then, please refrain from blasting the wall with the fireplace, as the castle is over there. The wall with the two windows behind you is facing the market district, so please focus your ire towards the doors there or the windowless wall as those aim more into the property and towards the mountain itself. This is also the fall home and has no servants as they are all in the spring home for now.”
“Alright fine....what type of rings are these?” Twilight pointed to her horn.
“Standard medical. Rank three, the highest one can get without a prescription and not be Guard personnel. Seems they don't trust me entirely as I said two would be enough.” Prince sighed.
There were three types of magic suppression rings. Medical, Guard, and illegal. The medical grade acted like a blood pressure cuff that sealed itself around ones horn and was mostly made of mithril, dulling the mana flow that could go through one's horn or could be gathered by it. A strong caster could easily push through.
Guard rings were more like clamps. It was meant to be uncomfortable as possible and the rings had a feed back loop in them that if a spell was cast while wearing them they tended to loop the mana back into the horn causing head aches and disorientation and if the spell was strong enough, knocking the caster out with their own magic. There were safeties to prevent the wearer from hurting themselves too bad, but the Guard level rings were highly regulated and any civilian caught with one was in a great deal of trouble.
The final suppression ring type was the illegal ones. They often followed the same patterns as the Guard rings , but without the safeties. These were usually made with the idea to harm unicorns or to contain slaves. The rings tended not to block the caster from casting, though the moment they gained enough power, they fed it back into the unicorns horn causing immense pain or even blowing the wearer's horn off. Though it was hinted at, the objects were never used in known wars and possession or creating one was a serious crime. As far as Twilight was aware there were only three such rings left undestroyed. Two were in the Canterlot Royal Museum, both deactivated and in the same sort of display as the iron pony and the rack, and the third was rumored to be in a secret room in Canterlot for use on the worst monsters that the Princesses dealt with.
Twilight didn't believe that rumor as Sombra had only had standard Guard models on his horn.
“So why am ah here?” Big Mac questioned.
“I didn't expect you to be, my guess is they wish to gloat. I apologize in advance for anything they might say. Not all the upper class shares their opinions of the other tribes.... obviously.” Blueblood offered as if reminding them he was a unicorn dating a pegasus. “ Also the one with the red bow tie is the one holding the shield. Just an FYI.”
“Blueblood! Not very sporting to sneak in and try you hoof first. Going to have to dock you points for that.” Another voice called as Prince rolled his eyes.
The doors opened again admitting a small collection of six unicorn stallions.
Twilight took one look at them and connected her hoof to her face.
“By the stars......”

Please tell me those are the unicorns that fell for Twilight. If so, I can safely bet all of them wear glasses.
This is all important stuff going on, but it still feels like a tease while we are all waiting for the inevitable explosion.
Dash's going to be so jealous of Prince when he tells her about the kidnapping
why do i have feeling all of them are those who cadence setup date with in the past. all want her to marry one of them, and gong to try to force it.... or think she need to go back to magic training school or force other element to be give to them.
Yes, Applebloom, yes. Give into the unbridled glory that is bacon!
FOR IT IS DELICIOUS!
And as usual, the redoes on the episodes are so much better. Lightening Dust was just about reduced to dust
Applebloom is eating meat is fine after all she is dating Spike. Pappy bear mode has been activated and nothing can stop his wrath.
Is this gonna be Twilight's 7 Evil Exes? With Blueblood off to the side as an innocent Bystander because his mom is a fucking moron?
applejack, it just a fact of life in all worlds everything, everypony, and everyone love bacon. ever if they say other wise it mean they most likey never try it.
And then, after Celestia notice Twilight is not there she use her overpowered magic to locate her and her parents are banished to be Tirek playthings
Rainbow is most likely at Spitfire’s office, chewing her out like she did in the show. Followed immediately by her high tailing it to Canterlot to give her special somepony a piece of her mind.
That’s because he is Luna’s son. There is no way Celestia or Luna would use such a thing on family… let alone The Crown Prince of Equestria.
Meanwhile in the Canterlot Castle Throne Room (temporarily relocated to Saddle Arabia)
Celestia: “Those had better be Medical grade magic suppressors.”
Raven inkwell: “If they aren’t, I’ll add illegal possession of military hardware to their list of charges.”
Royal Guard #1: “Assuming they survive.”
Royal Guard #2: “What do you mean “if”? Twilight may be many things, be she’s no—“
Discord: “500 Bits on Blueblood losing his plot!”
Royal Guard #3: “Your lordship, the odds of that happening are so in your favor that you’ll lose money on that bet even if you win.”
Discord: “5,000!”
Royal Guard #3: “You’re the boss!”
Royal Guard #2: “There’s no way this is legal—“
Celestia: “Let it be known that We, Princess Celestia of Equestria, do hereby pardon the Unicorn Twilight Sparkle of all crimes committed by her in the next hour. Also, 10,000 bits on a stray blast from Twilight smacking Discord in his eye.”
Royal Guard #1: “And with that, your bookies are open! Place your bets folks!”
Sombra: “Someone explain what is going on!”
Luna: “Sister—“
Celestia: “No.”
Luna: “We shall be quick.”
Celestia: “I don’t care. You are not making an appointment for Blueblood and his six idiot friends with Doctor Choppy.”
Luna: “But—“
Royal Guard #1: “Your highness, your standing bet of a beheading by Doctor Choppy during Twilight’s escapades is only valid if she’s does the deed.”
Luna: “hmph!”
Lol
Well the next chapter will certainly be entertaining

I dunno, aside from the rings getting blown off (assuming she doesn't just ignore them as she powers through the set), I suspect they'll all get slapped silly like the Three Stooges by Twilight and Big Mac. Who knows? Maybe it'll be romantic for those two, wiping the floor with a bunch of posh nobles? (Possibly literally)
I'm on the edge of my seat I am expecting something on a similar level to dealing with pete
How polite of you
This is gonna be entertaining
I have to admit, it’s always refreshing to read Blueblood written as a competent, well-adjusted, genre-savvy noble who’s well aware of how the rest of his peers see themselves and are seen by the general populace.
As counter-intuitive as it is, a book fort would have been safer. Twilight would not dare harm any berks. Also, still loving the not-just-a-dick Blueblood like he is in canon.
9929600
no, this is more a bunch of upper class twits thinking they actually have a shot at Twi even though shes with Big Mac, more because of Tribalist ideas than anything else im sure...
hay Pinkie hand me some of that popcorn this is going to be good.
Incoming stupid storm. Prepare for hail of pissed off Twilight.
9931225
And Blue is there for the popcorn.
9931201
Mind you we’ve only ever seen blue once in canon. Unlike fancy pants who apparently looked like he was nice and then the writers made of an asshole
9929982 where’s the kaboom there’s supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom
i wonder which group pinkie would prefer to be with, those deal with two piss off wonderbolts plus dash or with an cage up twilight...... u knew what who want to place bet on who going to be in more trouble when ti all said and done, my bet is for wonderbolt group get into more trouble
9932521
Don't'cha love it when one writer builds a character pretty well, only for another one to completely dumpster their characterization in order for either them or another character to learn the lesson of the week? (Grumbles in Brain-Dead-I-Wasn't-Thinkin' Pinkie vs fanon empathetic versions.)
gauging
So, how big a crater is this going to result in?
Really should ask Snake God about finding a way to treat that.
"More for us!" "No that isn't how it works, we just don't buy as much"
The perks of connections, plus politeness.
How much of Equestria's economy is based around Sparkle Betting at this point?
Right on little bro!
Wouldn't any dishes in Equestria default to 'vegetarian' and thus it would just be called 'lasagna' with the kind with meat being the outlier that requires being called out as having meat?
Ohhhhh, nice..... me want! Also, good idea start her on poultry, or maybe even fish, lower down the evolutionary rung food that isn't quite so likely to be smart enough to talk back.
But... but.. it would be so adorable!
Though only if she was Witch-Jack at the time.... or it was Jynx.
Didn't we cover this? Well, guess knowing about it, and seeing it are two different things
"The Great Bacon Wars are spoken of in legend!"
Ab knows what's up!
You kind of are.
That the story is teasing us with drawing out!
This was a fun bit, trying to get AJ to deal with the changes in her dietary needs in a fun way. Good thing they have Rahs around to ease her into this.
Unless this is just far enough from Ground Zero to see the fireball safely....... WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Also, it is standard policy to have one of each boot camp squads drill instructors set to be 'the nice one'. If all of them were R. Lee Ermy clones, well look what happened in that movie for a good example of why they make sure there is at least one instructor the recruits feel comfortable coming to in those situations.
Granted 'nice one' just means less likely to yell first and ask question later, does not mean they won't chew your ass out for blatant idiocy just as hard.
And if you push that nice one far enough....... oh fuck.....
She's way ahead of you.
FUN TIME!
Yeah....... okay explina.. now. Pretty sure he wasn't involved in this directly.... found out and trying to difuse the bomb before half the city blows up?
Wait... seriously? Is she THAT stupid?
Okay, so option A. Just kind of found out about this to late to do anything, and trying to do what damage control he can.
I like him! See, even trying to limit the destruction to targets that deserve it, or won't really be hurt.
Hmmm, nice bit of worldbuilding on the suppressor rings, and makes sense. Medical ones for dealing with mana flow issues or things like say, cracked horns that you want to be sure don't get mana flow till they are healed etc... plenty of reasons for those. And no hope of stopping Twilight. Very good stuff.
The stupid begins.
Well, lemme get some popcorn!
I'll take what they're having except boil the broccoli for me please.
10679146
Ey, don‘t dis th‘ broccoli, it tastes good in all its forms.
Prank chapter/event i guess
Here starts the show... Pity the nobels couldn't buy braincells...
10927132
Those things are expensive, just like sanity
10927132
You couldn't convince them to invest in care packages that had braincells either.
Popcorn ready! Here comes the heat!
10958494
Sanity is overrated
Where the fun in that?
11154226
Pretty sure the Braincells go into strikes if they had to work for this kind of one dimensional ponys...
Blueblood sure is adrenaline junky
Someone fucked his opportunity up in the Wonderbolt academy.
Is there a god of Nobel descendants? Because Avodart of idiots would be indeed hard to exterminated with idiots in all races...
