Chapter 58.75 – Two Trillion to One
Griffon of Canterlot
Chapter 58.75 – Two Trillion to One
Outside Greystorm sat with his wife Octicovix surrounded by sunflowers, high above a honeycomb of reinforced superstructure and glass all the way around to ground level of a twenty foot wall, in the middle the largest tree ever seen, parts of it hollowed out into corridors, hallways and rooms, outside was a large lake with the fields filled with large tall sunflowers, a path around the tree to six paths leading to the mid circlar path to the outer wall path, at the end of two paths north and south were large metal doors leading out of the mega sized greenhouse.
Greystorm pulled the changeling a big closer to him resting his head against hers. “Quite the place we discovered isn't it my love.”
“It is my feather brained love.” She hummed. “After what happened four hours ago I really needed something peaceful to sit in to recover...”
“Take all the time you need, we in no imminent hurry.”
They got a big of a jump when Sunflower spoke up behind and above them. “Hey dudes!”
Greystorm turn his head upwards to the nine hooves tall griffon looking back down at him with a smirk. “For a very big griffon you sure can move as silent as the wind.”
She chuckled lying down near them in a spot avoid of sunflowers, her head even resting on the large forepaws was slightly bigger then them. “I can't exactly spread my wings, so I use that good ol' flight magic in me for making me walk as light as a feather.”
Octicovix yawned a little still using Greystorm for support resting her head against his shoulder. “Hmm... No paw prints would be left, very stealthy.”
“Too right it is!” She said. “How ya doing Shifter.”
“I am recovering, just needed some fresh air and got to say this place is nothing we ever seen.” Octicovix lightly circles in the solid eyes shift around.
Sunflower responds with pride. “It home and I love it.”
Dr Caballeron walk up to them from the tree trunk stair entrance into the tree. “Indeed it is a home to love, also with odds at two trillion to one... That is impossible odds, yet here we are... Yes?”
“From what I learnt from Weirdo here, yeah the odds didn't even matter.” Sunflower turn to him. “At least your not screaming like a pansy Doc.”
Dr Caballeron coughed eyes shifting away. “Hmm... Quite.” He felt unsettled by her making him recall that moment. “So Greystrom, what is our next move?”
Greystorm put his wing over Octicovix. “My wife still recovering, the magic drained from her was alarming, transdimensional temporal mind swapping isn't something any of us was prepared for Caballeron.”
“Yes you are correct.”
“At least you are one up on Daring Do, with I hiring you and your team this would of never happened.”
“Indeed.” Dr Caballeron chuckled. “Do not worry I will not speak of this place, nor will my team that I promise.” He put a hoof to his chest.
Sunflower shrugs. “Doesn't matter, finding this place would be looking for a needle in a forest, you all are here because I dragged your sorry tails here.” Sunflower lift her head up raising a forepaw up wiggling the three finger and thumb like paw limbs at him. “I could easily just put this down on you and flatten ya.”
Dr Caballeron pulled on his collar slightly. “N-nice big griffon...”
“Pansy.” She laughed.
“Play nice Sunflower.” Maple joins them with Dr Caballeron's team..
“Your no fun Nanner Maple.” She stuck out her tongue at her.
Withers gulped at the size of the tongue. “Th-that a big tongue...”
Sunflower put it back in her beak. “It comes being the biggest thing here Shades.” She turn to Maple. “Nanner are we really going to dig out the cargo tunnel?”
“Yes, but I am going to need some parts to finish off the Mole, which means I have to make a call to my contacts in Flaputa-on-Sea.” Maple answered.
“Mole? Falputa-on-Sea?” Biff questioned.
Maple answers. “It a drilling machine you drive and dig into the ground, one of the things I recall from touching that achieves is a rescue group had such a machine, I've almost finished constructing it.”
“Why would you build something like that?” Rouge asked.
Sunflower adds her own words. “That I been asking Nanner for the last few years, her answer-”
She and Maple said together. “It a hobby.” They laughed. “We be using it to get inside through the cargo tunnel.”
Greystorm and the others were surprised. “Your going to help us get into the underground section of that FGC ruins?”
Maple turn to him. “It seems that you were meant to be here Greystorm, I am putting trust and faith in you.” Maple suddenly turn to Sunflower. “Take care of Octicovix for Greystorm, please.”
Sunflower nods. “I will Nanner.”
“What?” Greystorm wasn't sure where Maple was going with needing him all the sudden.
“What of us?” Dr Caballeron asked.
“Your staying with my granddaughter and out of trouble, you will be allowed to go anywhere in here part from our bedrooms and my workshop, that place is filled with half baked experiments that could do some serious harm to you.” Maple tells him. “Also if you need access to our computers on anything on the FGC Sunflower will help you print out the necessary stuff you need.”
Dr Caballeron raise a hoof. “How exactly do you pull information from a machine with blinking lights and sound like your in a thunderstorm?”
“Oh your going to have a fit when you see what we finch griffons created and continue to improve upon.” Maple smiled. “Now come with me Greystorm, we need to do something about your talons and those scales.”
Greystorm frowned. “What wrong with them?”
“If my contacts got what I need, your coming with me into town and you need to look the part, non-finch griffons and not family is a big no no, the trust of other creatures including griffon cousins is a all time low since that day.” Maple said turning to walk up the stairs.
Greystorm look at Octicovix mouthing out the what she said about looking the part. “I wonder what forepaws would look on you my love.”
“Not helping.”
“No I'm not.” She kissed him on the beak and yawns. “Tell me what this finch griffon town like okay?”
“I will my love.”
“Good.” She yawned heavily. “I just feel so shattered, I think I'll go to sleep again.” She collapses again.
Sunflower catch her with a paw lifting the unconscious changeling. “She needs real rest, getting out of bed and coming here wasn't the best idea, dude.”
Greystorm sighs. “I know it isn't but she need the air, please make sure my wife get all the rest she needs.” He ran his talon over her black shell. “I love you my love, get all the rest you need.” He kiss her cheek.
Sunflower gets up walking over them and back into the tree. “I'll never get use to having a griffon that big walk directly over you...” Dr Caballeron muttered.
“If we green to go, I want you and the others to do the research needed, but make sure to keep my wife safe okay?”
“We got it.” Biff reinsured him.
“Thank you Biff.” Greystorm flies after Maple catching up with her.
Dr Caballeron looked around slowly. “Boss?” Rouge speaks up. “Are we going to-”
“No, no we not backstabbing him.”
“We not?” Withers was surprised so was the others. “Why?”
Dr Caballeron brought up a bit tossing it in the air, they all looked up at the coin. “Two trillion to one odds.” He turn walking inside the tree.
The three ponies watch the coin spin in the air, it comes down to land on it side, neither heads or tails...

Is Sunflower half-Sphinx or something?
10501966
Nope she a finch griffon with a growth disorder, in her early years till around 18 years of age she just grew.
10501982
Makes less sense, but okay.
10501986
It a real thing my friend, the growth disorder in real life cause continuious growth to rapid growing till the person suddenly just stop growing or doesn't, it a genetic disorder.
10501990
I'm aware.
It's usually from some physical defect in the pituitary gland.

Indeed, Robert wadlow stood at 8ft 11" before his passing, that guy was a giant.
It what inspired me to create Sunflower, she in her case did stop growing and strengthen her muscles with training to support the weight and the use of the internal flight magic that griffons and Pegasus has.
Only thing I can think of is Sunflower must be at some level of pain just from walking about.
Gigantism isn't exactly fun. Your bones are generally too thin for your weight. Your muscles, and tendons need almost constant stretching. After that it gets hard to find things in your size, the D*** doorways are too low, and people that don't know you may assume that because of your size you are less intelligent than they are.
10501997
Indeed that is very true my friend, I took that into account as well the fact they in a world filled with magic and beings that could easily tower buildings, like Spike's greed magical growth.
Magic could be the reason behind her not suffering as much but still in some level of pain, it definitely something I will look deeper into her character development as the story progresses.
This why I like seeing comments like you and others bring up, it widens the prospective of things.
Ooh, great new chapter! I really like it, looking forward to the next one!
There’s killers amidst them!!
