Blood for the Blood gods!
well that's also another falilself for Duskfall. If she ever got put under mind control, she can order Lightning or Celestia to straight up kill her with no consequence. She respawned, back in control and more pissed off
10407688
That is certainly a thing that could be done.
I freaking LOVE this story, Dimension Traveller! Keep it up! I'm behind you 100%!
10407708
Thank you kindly. It means a lot to me to hear people say stuff like this.
the inner nerd in me wants Duskfall to get special armor made she can enchant to magically appear on her person. Enchant a gem with the spell that summons it, with an activation phrase... that phrase being "Henshin"
10407725
That would be super cool, but pretty pointless. Duskfall can heal off any damage while a suit of armor would need to undergo repairs.
Don't worry, there'll be a bit of a joke about magical girls in the first bonus chapter
So she cant use normal magic that well? Why nof? Does she not have both aspects and the practice and capacity to do magic of a 300 year old alicorn?
10407739
It's not that she can't use normal magic, it's more she has to make a big effort to separate her Darkness and Insanity from her Magic. As Duskfall noted, Darkness and Insanity probably don't mix with mind control. So a lot of her energy is going to be spent distilling 'pure' Magic from herself. Thus her very much reduced combat capability.
10407742
Did she not practice separation or something to be able to use normal magic? Jesus shes useless unless you need action done now
10407739
it got degraded during her 300 yr exile
10407752
She's only been an Alicorn of Darkness and Insanity for three weeks now and most of that time has been in the Nightmare World. She hasn't learned how to do these things yet. She'll be practicing now, but before it simply wasn't a priority. Everything she's doing now is almost purely instinct.
I’ve been waiting for Duskfall to meet Sombra for a while, I know it’s going to be worth the wait
10407684
skulls for the skull throne!
Well, she can use a basic magic missile and the shadow clone jutsu, that should work, right?
10408119
Duskfall using Shadow Clones is... problematic at the moment. I'll explain why in a latter chapter of The Road to Healing. The long and short of it is that Duskfall may or may not have traumatized herself during some of her experiments.
Magic Missile is totally a go though.
10408126
Maybe she should just ask The Doctor to send her again to train for a year or two
10408135
Sure, I could do that, but that just smacks of laziness to me. Both running to the Doctor for every little problem and denying you guys the chance to see Duskfall struggle and overcome her issues. The whole reason I'm writing The Road to Healing is because I wanted to show off Duskfall's stumbling and triumphs when it would have been so much easier for me to just say 'she went off on her own for a couple centuries and now she's all better the end'.
It's the same philosophy behind why I can't stand Superman but some of my favorite comics of all time are Superman comics. It's those writers who don't make it about the Man of Steel, it's the ones who make it about Clark Kent/Kal-El and the person to person relationships he has with everyone around him. The ones who know it isn't his crazy high power levels that makes Superman who he is, but the good man underneath it all.
Even if she is 350 years old, Duskfall is still very much a child in a lot of ways. The vast majority of her life has been spent suffering from an SSS tier psychotic episode. She's strong, no mistake about that, but she doesn't know how to use her powers yet and she's still a deeply flawed individual who I might remind you is still looking forward to the day where she ceases to exist. She isn't all powerful, she isn't all knowing, she's just Duskfall Sparkle, a Human/Pony hybrid who was thrown in way over her head and is still drowning and doing her damn best to not let anyone else realize she's even in the water at all. That, above and beyond anything else, is what I hope to convey both in these multiverse troubles and during the greater story.
10408155
I guess is true, thanks for saying and sorry if I overstepped... Also, something that flashed in my head and while it could be something Dusk could do, not sure if she managed to learn... Did she learn any self-destruct spell? Is just that I imagine her somehow learning a spell to explode, as she is inmortal she can grow again in the crater
10408194
I'm not sure she knows any spells specifically for self-destruction, but I'm absolutely sure she can overload herself to the same effect. Although I'm not certain how useful that would be in this conflict, given the enemy troops are all mind controlled innocents.
10408198
Sombra seem the type of gloating alone in the big throne room and give the typical long villain speech
10408212
Canon Sombra I agree with you 100%. However, this Sombra is successfully waging a full scale war with Equestria. Either he's got some boss ass underlings keeping him from going full monologue or he's slightly more clever than the Sombra we know. At least, that's my take on the circumstances.
10408220
Or he is lucky or ponies are idiots... But even then, it could be hard if it was canon Sombra...
10408231
Just putting it down to luck makes me feel things I don't like feeling. I want to have faith in these ponies and I already thew Dusk a relative softball in the Nightmare World.
Although, I could make it down to luck or stupidity and I could probably get some good jokes out of it... I'm just not certain if it's worth the trade off. Something I'll have to think on for a day or two.
10408212
Ah yes. The art of monologuing. The bad guy of the week gloats that he/she won only for the hero/pro-hero side shows up and lays the smack down.
I think it should read as "Oh shit, you're a Pegasus!? That’s fucking weird" Lightning remarked.
Lighting should be addressing Rainbow directly, not talking about her as if she wasn't in the room. Rainbow did insert herself into this conversation.
That said, good chapter. What did happen to Cadence? And I fear what Sombra did to Spike and Twilight. He's not dumb, he has a dragon and a unicorn plus trapped. While I fear for Spike being used as a kaiju, its for Twilight that in more ways worry me. Be it as a broken person that's willing to work for Sombra willingly, a standard MC foot soldier, or used as something that belongs in a clop story.
10408240
Can you give us a example of how bad could it be if ponies are just unlucky AND stupid?
10408246
Lightning is still an arrogant prick who was higher on the food chain than her Rainbow. I felt it was much more keeping in character for Lightning to talk like Rainbow wasn't in the room as opposed to speaking to her directly.
I'm not entirely sure what Cadence is up to at the moment. She's either on diplomatic missions to rally support for Equestria or in a coma or just so heartbroken from Shining's death that she wants nothing to do with the world. Not sure which I want to go with at the moment.
Spike isn't being used as giant monster fodder. As AJ notes, no one has seen Spike or Twilight since that faithful day. Of course, it could be they don't recognize Spike in a giant corrupted by Dark Magic form.
As for Twilight, the answer to that is a hard spoiler that I'm going to have to keep under my hat for the moment.
Do you mean fusion?
I can’t help but post these.

It would mean a lot to me if you could include Opal Bloom.

I picture her as Pinkie Pie but less random and kind like Fluttershy and always happy to make new friends. Same voice as Apple Bloom but has a northern accent instead of a southern one. Has yellow brown eyes. Has a green leaf cutie mark.
10408264
No, I mean 'after a fashion'. Duskfall is hesitant on dropping the bomb that she is literally half Twilight and a result of Twilight dying.
10408253
I'm hesitant to mess with the stupid button just because I'm always afraid of veering too far into "how do these people breathe for themselves" territory.
We have to consider that Sombra is waging a credible war from a significant disadvantage. He has less manpower, less resources, his troops are less diverse and unable to think for themselves, and while the Crystal Empire is protected by the seeming eternal winter his troops have to go through that winter too.
The only reason Sombra's war hasn't come to an end already is because the Princesses don't want to use the nuclear option on a bunch of innocent ponies. That alone is something most people would consider more idiotic than anything I could reasonably think of. The fact that the Princesses don't want to harm the few for the good of the many. Celestia and Luna are incapable of preforming the cold calculus of war.
If you still want me to type up an actual example of ponies being dumb and unlucky, hit me up with a DM and I'll try and figure something out.
10408282
It make sense, I guess, is just that sometimes ponies seem genius and other times they don't seem to use logic so it's hard to find a way to connect the two... about the DM, I guess you talk about D&D sadly never tried it, I tried some rol forums with character sheets but never tried that.
10408305
when I said DM I meant Direct Messages.
You are absolutely right about Ponies swapping between having the idiot switch turned on and off quite frequently.
I also realize that Dusky is basically a saner Deadpool. Ugh, my head hurts.
Cannot bucking wait for next chapter * squee *
10411927
It'll be a few days at least. I've come under the weather and the resulting headache is killing my ability to write.
10411951
... * darthvader no *
Lol is ok i just like this story so much xD
Take ur time (but not 2yrs plz) i would rather it be a good story instead of a rushed one and by celestia this is a good story so far
Also looking forward to reading the "road to healing" as well but 9k words r like a snack... I NEED A MEAL DAMMIT xD i am really running low on things to read as ive read everything that interested me so far only waiting for updates on the incomplete stories ive started now cause anything complete i finished like 7 times each
10412495
Don't worry, I'll hopefully be back up to speed soon. Judging from past experience, I'll be ready to write again in 3 days or so. Or I'll have a masochism attack and post thru the headache.
Oh i just realized something. Did i already mentioned/asked this? But the final world you said is the ashland timeline.. what if its also the Fallout universe?
Also how are you feeling friend?
10415368
I have personal reasons for wanting nothing to do with the Fallout universe.
As for my own health, I'm recovering, but I'm at the point where my brain feels like overcooked spaghetti instead of just a constant low-grade headache.
10415383
ouch, also ok. I apologize for the first question. -hugs- take it easy and hope you feel better soon
10415396
No need to apologize for something you didn't know. There are just certain companies I have a special grudge against.
10415459
can't blame you. Bethesda suck, the games are buggy. But i still love Littlepip's story
