When the changelings commence their invasion of Canterlot at Shogun Cadance's wedding, Rainbow meets a most vexing opponent on the battlefield.
Defeat is not an option; The survival and prosperity of her homeland depends on her.
Death before dishonor!
Made for the art contest being held by Mr. Tech and Nixworld!

Thanks for the kind words! I certainly hope to win the contest in at least 2nd place!
Well this is a pretty clever idea. I dont know what writing contest you are doing, but I've never seen shogunate equestria before, unless I missed something big. Best of luck.

If I get a hair up my ass I may end up making a universe of it, but I've got a few other projects I'd like to finish first.
Well, this interesting. I'd certainly root for you, definitely an interesting enough take on Equestria.

I hardly know where I'd even start with it.
When I read the description I thought ‘this sounds like the most epic thing ever. I must read it’
And I wasn’t disappointed it was like watching a Samurai movie. I want more, I will say that changelings should have acted like Ninjas. But that’s small nitpick at this point.

I wanted to model the story after a romanticized version of Shiroyama, wherein that even with the fancy guns and new technology, the discipline and training of the Samurai won out in the end.
9752149
you do know that the samurai lost shiroyama right?
EDIT: Missed "Romanticized," my bad

Ok, this was cool!

I'm debating doing another one with Twilight, if you'd be interested in reading that.
9769517
Definitely, I love creative ideas like this.
Great job. I can see why you won.
9783670
Thanks for the compliment! I honestly expected the Twilight story to take first place, but I'll take what I can get
Instant favoriting, no way in heaven or hell I would’ve been able to go up against this.
Great job.

Don't be too hard on yourself! I whipped this up in a few days, I'm sure you could have made something better with time!

Eh, technically I did have a story with the contest’s premis, only problem is that it was close to 3k words.
Epic!
Totally and in every way a masterfully crafted sequence of action which also beautifully borrows the romantic mythos of the samurai.
I hope you won the contest as handily as Samurai Dash cut down her foe. Seriously, awesome work on this.
9809518
Won first place, actually! I'm currently working on a sequel to this starring Twilight.
9809530
Awesome!!! I'm glad to hear both of those things!
Have a review!

Well, if that's not the coolest shit I've read all week. :D
Why'd you name him after Critical Role tho10050154

Glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes, all you need is a proper action scene. Very exciting stuff!
