Chapter 64
Alright, yes, Rainbow Dash was guilty of spying on the small brown foal in his own backyard, but it was at Twilight's behest! Honestly, she wasn’t even sure why Twilight was so obsessed with learning everything she could about this kid. It was also really weird that it was specifically a foal, and if she wasn’t her friend she would’ve definitely dropped even more suspicion onto her. But eventually, she got the egghead to explain to her that she was doing this at the very special request of the princess, which – was still weird, to be honest. But she really couldn’t argue against the princess, no pony in their right mind would go against the princess of all things.
So she caved when Twilight practically begged Rainbow Dash to help her where she couldn’t and to spy from the sky where she wasn’t capable of – stalking, it was practically stalking. But whatever, she was loyal to her friends and she would do whatever she could to help them out. And after all, things considered, she found out something absolutely mind-blowing, the kid knew Spitfire. The Captain Spitfire, of the Wonderbolts! Like, what the hell?
And after she had to practically bite into her own hoof to stifle her quickly growing sense of fan girling over the literal Captain of what she dreamed of becoming one day, and if it wasn’t obvious, she wanted to be a Wonderbolt. She watched with rapt attention how Spitfire interacted with the kid – Speckles, if she remembered right. She was really half and half when it came to listening to Twilight's briefing on the kid.
Spitfire also almost made her scream out in pure joy when she witnessed a trick that she’d never seen before coming from the Wonderbolt, the whole thing with the death-defying barrel rolls, the quick save when free falling – the bucking fire, it was awesome. So freaking awesome that she almost felt offended for Spitfire when her eyes trailed back to Speckles and just how bored he kind of looked watching her. He just sat on that pretty oversized - no, he’s just tiny. Like really tiny.
Anyways, he just sat on that large pillow of his almost looking like he was staring off into space as he blankly looked up and gingerly followed Spitfire's movements. And Rainbow Dash wasn’t even sure how the kid was keeping such a face when getting a private air show, right in his own backyard of all places!
“No expression at all… really?” Rainbow Dash muttered to herself as she leaned her head just a tad bit forward so that she got a better look at things. “It’s like that one guy when I… oh, there’s the reaction.” She interrupted herself as she noticed Speckles suddenly smiling and looking up at Spitfire as she landed and walked over to him.
The two exchanged words for a few moments before Spitfire quickly trotted off into the house, leaving Speckles by himself as he briefly stared at the door before looking back and grinning to himself. He then stood up and – wow, there was practically no height change from when he was sitting down to when he stood up. She stopped herself from snickering as he hopped off the pillow and walked his way to the center of the yard and looked down at his hooves with a pensive expression. And then he stood like that for what seemed like minutes, causing Rainbow Dash to grimace and prop her head up with her hooves as she stared down at him.
Yeesh, this was boring. What did the princess see in this little foal? Because all that Rainbow Dash saw was nothing all that special about him, sure, he had the interesting thing of knowing Captain Spitfire. But she chalked that up to him being some sort of relative of hers, or she was dating somepony and this was just their kid that Spitfire was entertaining. Hm, Spitfire never really let it known that she was dating any pony, so she wonder- oh, he’s moving.
She broke out of her thoughts and focused back down on Speckles as he shook his head and grinned once again before looking straight up at the sky, causing Rainbow Dash to pull her head back just a bit so that she wasn’t visible but could still see. He took in a deep breath before shouting something that she could just barely make out from where she was hovering above, and it caused her to squint as he just shouted the most random amalgamation of words out to the sky. What was it? Fus ro dah? Weird.
And he looked disappointed as if he was expecting something to happen when he shouted that. Letting out a sigh before ultimately shrugging his shoulders and turned around, almost looking as if he was about to retreat back into the house before he stopped midstep. He stood there for a few minutes, probably thinking to himself before he turned back around and stared up at the sky.
Though she wasn’t prepared for what came next, one moment she was watching him with increasing boredom as he went to presumably shout at the sky once again, and the next she was almost deafened by the loudest noise she’d ever heard. And that wasn’t the worst part of it, it was when a huge ass whirlwind formed from out of nowhere and completely threw her around, leaving her struggling to hold onto her cloud as she was spun around before ultimately getting pushed back. And it left her with widened eyes as she finally regained control of her senses and fixed her position on the cloud, letting out a few pants as she looked over the cloud.
Speckles was standing in a large dent in the grass with a happy face as he hopped around with excitement, causing Rainbow Dash even more confusion, that came from the kid? That huge whirlwind that almost threw her entirely off course came from that small little foal? What in the actual buck?
Just hold on a moment. She had to completely shake her frazzled mane out of her face and shake away the feeling of her brain being jumbled around in her skull as she realized what exactly happened. Did he just shout a whirlwind into the air? Was that magic? It had to be magic. Twilight is going to go crazy over – no, absolutely ballistic trying to figure out if Rainbow Dash is telling the truth or telling a complete lie.
“Though, when doesn’t she ever not go ballistic over something stupid?” she said in realization to herself. Just last week she was going crazy over not being able to tell whether or not the sun and moon were raised by Princess Celestia, something about her looking over ancient philosopher theories of the planet revolving around the sun. It made her shake her head at even questioning it, everypony knew that the sun revolved around the planet because of Princess Celestia.
Ugh. All that egghead stuff was causing her even more confusion, so she cleared those thoughts out of her head before dropping both hooves onto the cloud and moving her body so that she could peek over again. She wanted to see if Speckles was doing any more of those physically impossible things that a pegasus couldn’t do. Though what she didn’t expect to see when she peeked over the edge, was a pink pegasus glaring daggers up at her.
“Woah!” Rainbow Dash cried out in shock as she recoiled backward, the pegasus flying up and– wow, her wings were huge!
“Just what do you think you’re doing?” was the question thrown towards her as she gathered her bearings, trying to push herself back to get some space but the mare quickly inched forwards with crossed hooves. If looks could kill, she’d definitely already murdered Rainbow Dash with those eyes.
“Uh... nothing?” Damn it, Dash.
She didn’t seem to like that answer, her eyes narrowing further. “I’ll tell you what you were doing, you were watching my son. You damn creep!” her anger caused the cyan pegasus to back up just a few inches as she brought her hooves up and shook them. Rainbow Dash sputtered because she was absolutely right, she was freaking watching a foal in their own backyard from a cloud. If that wasn’t the definition of creeping, then she had absolutely no idea what was.
“I– listen, I wasn’t watching your so-” her ears folded back as she internally winced at her own rebuttal and was instantly interrupted by the angry mother of the foal she was watching – for Twilight, she was watching them for Twilight.
“Then what the hell were you doing, sitting up on this cloud that’s sitting right above my backyard in clear sight of my backyard? And you better give me a damn good answer, because nothing is going to save you from me busting your ass,” she said as she leaned even further. To the point where the two of them were a nose hair away from each other.
Rainbow Dash gulped, feeling the intensity of the pink pegasus's glare. She knew she had to choose her words carefully if she wanted to diffuse the situation.
And Rainbow was never really good with her words, so she did the only thing that she could think that she could do to escape the wrath of Speckle’s mom. And that was absolutely booking it away from this house and losing the pink pegasus with her superior speed because, with wings like those, she doubted she could catch her. So doing what she did best when dealing with a situation like this, she ran.
“Uh…” she said in distraction as she tried to lift up a hoof as subtly as possible. She literally felt the heat of her stare trying to melt off her fur as she felt sweat drip from her brow before she caved and dropped her hoof down hard. The cloud split in half and dropped Rainbow Dash out of the bottom, sending her into a brief free fall before she quickly barrel-rolled and shot out her wings. She let out a powerful flap of her wings and shot off in the opposite direction of the house, the surprised and outraged voice of the pink pegasus behind her as she did so.
Or at least, that’s what she thought would happen. The last thing she ever expected to happen was to feel herself literally get tackled out of the air, the loud sound of the air whizzing past them as she craned her head and looked up with wide eyes at the pink pegasus holding her with a death grip. They were sent into a free fall as she struggled and squirmed against the larger mare's grip, Rainbow Dash found it basically impossible to break out of her grip as the mare shouted obscenities at her.
And just as she thought that she was going to get spiked into the ground by an angry mother, she felt some relief as she opened up her large wings and stopped them just a couple of inches from smashing into the ground. The grip loosened and she was dropped onto the floor, getting a mouthful of grass in the process, she shook her head and spit it out as she spun around to face the pegasus.
“Did you really think you could just up and fly away from this? I told you that nothing was going to save you from this beating that I am going to lay on you!” she shouted at Rainbow Dash before the latter let out a frightened noise and dove out of the way of her lunge. As her chest hit the floor, she scrambled up onto her hooves with widened eyes as she quickly unfurled her wings and tried to take off again.
‘This mare is going to kill me!’ Rainbow Dash screamed to herself as she just barely lifted off into the air before being once again tackled by her, the force causing a noise to come out of her as she fell with the added weight of a fully grown pegasus on her back. She squirmed and struggled against her greater strength, being able to roll over onto her back and suddenly blinked as she felt herself get struck across the face. The feeling so new to her that she had to take a few seconds to process the fact that there was a growing pain all over her face before she instinctively threw her hooves up and started blocked the incoming blows.
And sweet Celestia, this mare had to be a fighter or something because they hurt like Tartarus, and she been in fights with other pegasi before – the punches and bucks felt absolutely nothing like the treatment she was getting as she tried to kick her off. Her words were practically unheard against the angered curses and grunts coming from Speckle’s angry mom.
But all she knew that she was getting her ass kicked and she couldn’t do anything about it!
Hazel got tired of the cyan stalker blocking all of her punches to her face and grit her teeth as she brought a hoof up and instead drove it down harshly into her stomach, causing an immediate reaction. She wheezed out as her hooves flew down to cover her stomach, leaving a perfect opening to her face as she spaced out in an attempt to try and regain all of the air that she’d knocked out her. Hazel didn’t hear the voice calling out her name as she was too busy trying to rationalize whether or not she would get in all that much trouble because this mare was guilty of watching her baby – she was also trespassing. This beating was one hundred percent justified!
“Hazel, stop!” her honed in sense of anger came to a pause as she raised her hoof up and went to drive it down again but was unable to as she felt a hoof wrap around hers. She momentarily pulled her attention away from the wheezing creep and looked up to see Spitfire looking down at her with a concerned expression. And she was also gritting her teeth slightly as she pulled against the strength of hoof trying to drive itself into the cyan ponies face again.
“Stop, please,” she said as the two stared at each other for a few tense seconds. Hazel looked from Spitfire down at the downed pegasus who had finally caught her breath and was looking up between the two of them with a mix of shock and fear on her face.
“Why?” she said defensively. “Have you forgotten everyone who’s tried to steal my baby from me?”
Spitfire sighed but didn’t let go of her hoof, “because I know who this is – and she's a friend of mine. She's Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty. And stupid.. Very, very stupid."
Hazel's grip loosened slightly, but her expression remained skeptical. "And why was she watching my son?"
Rainbow Dash, still recovering from the beating, managed to catch her breath and spoke up. "I was...uh...helping Twilight with her task from Princess Celestia. She wanted to know more about Speckles, and I was just...um...gathering information from the sky."
Hazel raised an eyebrow, not fully convinced. "Twilight Sparkle?" Hazel said with some confusion as she didn’t recognize the name, tilting her head at Spitfire who shook her head.
“Twilight’s the Princesses student, she gets up to stupid things like this all the time..”
Rainbow Dash nodded quickly. "Yes, that's right! It was all at Twilight's request. She thought there might be something special about Speckles, and she wanted me to keep an eye on him. I didn't mean any harm, I swear!"
Hazel's expression softened a little as she looked at Rainbow Dash, considering her words. Spitfire spoke up again, trying to diffuse the tension further. "Hazel, I vouch for Rainbow Dash.. If she says she was helping Twilight, then I believe her."
“But that doesn’t ju–” Hazel said with some frustration in her voice before being interrupted by Spitfire who let her hoof go and nodded her head, “look – I know, I know. Just let me talk to her, go back inside with Speckles.”
Hazel glanced between the two pegasi, still unsure. "Fine," she finally said, releasing her grip on Rainbow Dash. "But if I catch you spying on my son again, there won't be any mercy."
Rainbow Dash quickly got up, rubbing her sore stomach and wincing. "No worries! I won't be watching him anymore, I promise." Rainbow Dash flinched backwards as Hazel took a mock step forwards, seeming satisfied with herself at the reaction before turning and walking off towards the house.
Hazel fought the urge to snap back around and give that mare one last punch before her shoulders drooped and she quickly opened and closed the door behind her, taking a moment to calm herself before turning to look at the most important thing in her life. Her baby took a moment before hopping down from the kitchen counter and looked over at her with his big blue eyes. And she felt her anger fizzle out as she smiled.
She walked over to him and knelt down, wrapping a wing around him protectively. "Are you okay, Speckles?"
Speckles nodded, his eyes still wide with the excitement of watching his mom beat the crap out of someone. "Yeah, Mom. I'm fine. But who was that mare?"
Hazel glanced out the window to where Spitfire was talking to Rainbow Dash. "Just someone who made a mistake, but she won't bother us anymore. Let's go play, okay?"
“Are you okay?” he said with concern, the ever perceptive foal that he was. She couldn’t help but coo down at him as he smiled up at her, picking him up in her arms and cuddling him close. “I am now, sweetie.”
Spitfire was good at keeping the annoyance out of her voice as she spoke.
“So the Princess sent Twilight to spy on Speckles because he has something ‘special’ about him?” Spitfire asked as she turned back to look at Rainbow Dash. The cyan pegasus was still wincing to herself as she tried to soothe the pain of the beating she’d gotten from Hazel, one her eyes blackened from that first blow as she looked up at the Captain of the Wonderbolts. “Why don’t you explain that to me?”
Rainbow Dash was silent for a few moments as she tried to not freak out and make an idiot of herself – well, more of an idiot than she’d already made herself out to be. But the Captain of the Wonderbolts knew who she was.
“It’s like I told you before, Spitfire,” she said with a sigh. “All Twilight told me was what Princess Celestia told her in the letter she sent her to watch him because he was special, and that’s pretty much all the letter said.”
“And yet she told me that she wasn’t..” Spitfire muttered to herself before looking up, “And how long has this investigation been going on?”
“Uh, I only started helping Twilight a few days ago, and I think I first heard about this a week ago.” Rainbow Dash said truthfully, though with some nervousness as she was literally talking to her idol.
She then shook her head, “all right, here’s what’s going to happen.” She said as her voice slipped from the casual one she was using and into a more authoritative tone, much like she used whenever dealing with Wonderbolt business.
“I am overriding that order from Princess Celesti-” this caused Rainbow Dash to widen her eyes as she looked up at Spitfire as if she hadn’t heard her right.
“Y-you can do that?” the surprise was evident.
“Normally, no,” Spitfire shook her head. “But this situation is a whole lot bigger than you think, Dash, and it falls under the specific clause that allows me to override the authority of the Princess.”
“But you can’t just not do what the Princess tells you to do – it’s unheard of,” Rainbow said with even more confusion in her tone.
“Well, we’re lucky Commander Hurricane made sure that was possible,” Spitfire simply said in response before moving back to what she was going to say originally. “Now, like I said before, this whole order given to you by Twilight who was told by the Princess? It’s now null.” She said with finality in her voice.
“Oh.. uh,” Dash rubbed the back of her neck, she didn’t even know that was possible.
“I’ll explain everything in full later when I tell both you and Twilight the terms of this nullification,” she added in before letting the sterness fall from her voice. The casualness slipped back in as she gave Rainbow Dash a look. "You really know how to get yourself into trouble, don't you?"
Rainbow Dash blinked in confusion, “you know about me?”
“I know all about you and your friends, it comes with the job,” Spitfire simply said with a small shrug of her shoulders.
“Oh, wow..”
Spitfire sighed. "Look – next time something like this happens, maybe think twice before spying on foals in their own backyard."
Rainbow Dash nodded, still feeling a bit sore from the encounter. "Lesson learned, Spitfire. Lesson learned."
Rainbow Dash had quickly flown away after her talk with Spitfire, still reeling from bruises and the idea of Spitfire completely halting one of the Princess's missions for Twilight. She didn't think it was possible, but apparently it was. What kind of rank did Captain of the Wonderbolts translate to anyways for that kind of power? She'd have to ask Twilight later, right after she explained why she looked like she got run over by a carriage and how they were no longer going to be able to help Celestia with her request. She landed down in front of Twilight's library and knocked on the door, instead of going through the window like she usually does.
Twilight Sparkle opened the door, her expression changing from surprise to concern as she saw Rainbow Dash's battered appearance. "Rainbow Dash, what happened? Are you okay?" she asked, stepping aside to let her friend inside.
Rainbow Dash winced as she entered the library. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine," she muttered, rubbing at her face. "But we've got a problem. A big one."
Twilight closed the door behind them and led Rainbow Dash to the living room, motioning for her to take a seat. "What happened? And why do you look like you've been in a fight?"
Rainbow Dash sighed and recounted the events that had transpired, starting from her spying on Speckles in his backyard, witnessing whatever that magical whirlwind was, and eventually being confronted and beat up by Hazel, Speckles' mother. She emphasized the intervention of Spitfire, and how she’d stopped Hazel from going farther than bruising her body. She'd probably have broken some bones if Spitfire didn't stop her.
Twilight listened attentively, her expression growing more serious as Rainbow Dash spoke. "So, Spitfire put a halt to the investigation?" she asked, concern evident in her voice. She didn't think a Wonderbolt had that much authority, she'd have to look into that.
Rainbow Dash nodded. "Yeah, she stepped in and stopped Hazel before things got even worse. And she recognized me too, Twilight! She knows who I am. I didn't know she had any connections to the princess or anything like that."
Twilight sighed, running a hoof through her mane. "I don't have all the answers, Rainbow Dash. I have to write a let–”
“Well, about that.” Rainbow Dash said with a sheepish grin.
“What?” Twilight said in confusion.
“Spitfire kinda told me not to let you send any more letters until after she got here and explained everything to the both of us,” this caused Twilight to stand up. “You means she’s coming here?”
“Yeah,” Rainbow Dash nodded.
“When?” she said with worry.
“I have no idea, Twi.” She shrugged her shoulders, causing Twilight’s eye to twitch.
“By the way, you got an ice pack or something? I’m hurting everywhere.”

WOooo, 4th of july chapter!
That's rolls, not roles. Just saying.
He RD got lucky Spitfire didn't blacklist her from the Wonderbolts.
Rather short but very entertaining. This shows how scary a mother can be.
Will RD inform them of the hurricane?
Busted! Code of Equestrian Regulations 002: part 001, Hurricane clause?
RD getting her idiotic ass kicket had to happen sooner ore later
Finally, a Fic where RD actually gets shit from her actions
I wouldn’t put it past Commander Hurricane to have that clause that can null an order from the crown (Celestia). The pegasi still have a lot of control over the military power.
Applejack is going to rub salt in those wounds when she gets a load of Rainbow Dash!!
“Didn’t suspect y’all of bein’ a foal-fiddler. Think y’all know a gal. So what’s that about y’all bein’ fast? Or tough? Or more athletic than a housemare?”
Speaking of: still curious about Hazel’s past. She caught RD at unawares, but the speedster wasn’t able to just escape either…
Seems Spitfire will brief Twilight about Speckles’ changeling relocation program. I wonder what is going on with the villains.
Spitfire never mentioned not telling Luna… She’d be super intrigued to hear about the ‘whirlwind.’
RD mentioned the ‘whirlwind.’ Twilight’s got to become fascinated after her royal issues get cleared up. I suppose the Princess will have to be informed that CDR Hurricane’s override is in effect? Probably Spitfire will send that notification? Her response will be worth the wait.
So Twilight’s been tailing Speckles for a week in universe now? When’s that race taking place? Soon I hope.
Thank you for the update, author! This was super fun!!
That little snitch!
Now Rainbow Dash, when she got her ass kicked by Hazel, can ask for teaching from her... But not right away, a little later.
Assault for peeping? Yikes.
Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn and a mother's wrath apparently...
I really don't like slapstick physical beating in this episode.
The fanfic already set the tone for itself that "real, bodily harm"="serious stuff" from many scenes previously, multiple hospitalized scenes, battles with changelings, body brutality on random changelings, etc..... everything are fun and dandy until it came to actually physical abuse.
Maybe my dissatisfactory will make a U-turn in next chapter as this is just a setup for a great storyline, or maybe there will be direct consequence for what Hazel did, like a random S.M.I.L.E. Agent or Changeling, secretly reporting back, and pressed charge against her.

That guy is like shining armor with wings in the cannon..... don't think he had that much guts.
Swarswirl coaxed him into doing that because he didn't trust his naive, inexperienced apprentices is more believable, in my opinion.
Remember don’t anger mama bear especially after she had her child stolen from her before well unless you really want to die.
Thanks for the new chapter!
RD is real lucky Spitfire was there to stop some hospital time.

After all they've been put through and the numerous times Hazel has had her child either taken or seriously hurt at the hooves of others to then find another unknown assailant in a cloud watching her son for who knows how long, how could u deem anything she did to be unjustified or warranted of a punishment of ANY kind? And how was any of this slapstick? It's not like she was beating RD up for no reason or just for laughs, she's a single mother whose protecting her son from an unknown threat over their property who then admitted to being guilty by trying to run away. She had every right and even if it was against one of my favorites, she had it coming and I'll be pissed if Hazel receives any form of disciplinary Action for what she did.

Please stop using ‘muh emotion angry’ or a second, okay?

She physically attacked the stalker first. By developed country standard, she’s in the wrong.
Only force she allowed to use is for self defense only.
Now, looked at what she did.
Instead of calling a (maybe) law enforcement, spitfire, she went there, alone, without witness, and use physical force to beat up that still undetermined stalker. And that stalker didn’t even fought her back.
If equestrian laws is as modern as ours, Hazel would lose in court case if Rainbow pressed for a charge.
Maybe she can get away with the changlings, as they are akin to vampire terrorists/human traffickers, and they also attacked her first.
But definitely not in this case.
And it’s very a slapstick violence.As everyone ignored it, treated it like nothing.
That’s real world standard, which you brought up by analyzing it like a real situation, which didn't matter much for a fiction.
My problem, is that it didn’t fit story’s tone.

But we are also talking about unseen dangers of Shape shifting changelings that are all known for taking the forms of anyone and lurking amongst the crowds and in the shadows, and without a way to combat that (as of yet in this story unless I'm forgetting) outside of beating their ass to drop their disguise, but they are all pegasi in this case so such a method wouldn't be available. The changelings have also taken the form of Princess Celestia herself and that got Speckles kidnapped and in any other case, killed, if not for plot relevance sake. So while u have a case here for "what to do if being stalked" and all that, stalkers don't normally have the ability to shapeshift and impersonate another person. If they can imitate the princess of all ponies (granted it was another changeling Queen), imitating an element of harmony isn't out of the equation. And with Princess Celestia feeling like shit for what has happened to them under her guards watch and castles roof, I doubt anything worse than a slap on the wrist would be given under good faith for whats transpired
11629744
That's an insane logic to apply.
Your logic is the same as "I should be able to beat up any suspiciously-looking muslim that walk pass my property freely because 911 happend and terrorists are hidden within them, feared for my life is my reason" only worst because your justification mean "anyone" can be physical assault.
Please go get help or sometging, if this how you actually treated people around you.
Princess Celestia, depending on how her character was written, would side with Rainbow Dash if she pressed her charge and unwilling to back down.
Equestria's last line of defence>a colt(that also using banned illegal dragon magic)
If she were not written as an manchild, and treated like an actual immortal ruler, she would try to decelerated the situation first, but she if she had no choice, then Rainbow Dash's.
Primary would convince for a compromise that benefited her most.
This is what I think she would do:
1.a royal guard stationed with speckle, both for his safety and spying purpose.
2.test spitfire's loyalty to equestria, seeing if she should defund the wonderbolt if there's a possibility of them gone rouge.
Celestia in this story didn't came of as a caring type, she's felt like someone who was a cunning mastermind, but got burnout, and too tired to do anything. Only used her politician passively, to lazily coast along the flow.
"Oh the colt got kidnapped, sad, now where's my cake?"
I felt like she care about no one, even interaction with Luna is just her larping the big sister role.
"Oh, you got sleep deprivation from stalking that colt, who cut our dream construct's head off like a murderer? Cool, now imma drink my tea"
I think this version of Celestia had sociapath tendency, her emotion numb from dealing with nobles too much.
Minimum efforts on everythings.
Speckle dying is no different than a random animal dying for her.

Are you dense or just stupid?? Why are you trying to make real life comparisons to a world of fiction about magical, talking ponies. How is anything I said about THE FICTIONAL WORLD OF THIS STORY in anyway comparable to how you think I view and treat those around me? That's the most asinine slander to me and my character I have ever received in my life holy shit.
The fact that from anything I said brought you to this disgusting conclusion, "Your logic is the same as "I should be able to beat up any suspiciously-looking muslim that walk pass my property freely because 911 happend and terrorists are hidden within them, feared for my life is my reason" only worst because your justification mean "anyone" can be physical assault." Is absolutely horrid and you should get fucking checked if THAT'S what you got out of that. I'm not saying that she has free reign to go start beating the absolute piss out of everyone who may look at her or her son funny, but with all she's had to experience in such a short amount of time, almost losing her son to a foreign enemy on multiple occasions, and now theres an unknown somebody on a cloud above her house watching her kid who could be yet another changeling in disguise? God forbid she takes action first before something goes awry
I'm talking about THEIR world and the magical enemies (WHO CAN SHAPESHIFT MAY I ADD AGAIN!!) within and the reasonable responses that anyone would take in their position, let alone a mother of a child who is obv the enemies main #1 target u fucking psycho. I'm not putting OUR world's values and ethics on them as it is hardly comparable by any stretch and unlike u apparently, I can dissociate real life from a work of fiction.
And tell me this, u said earlier you were fine with changelings being absolutely killed and maimed without remorse,"battles with changelings, body brutality on random changelings, etc..... everything are fun and dandy until it came to actually physical abuse." but when the mother takes into her own hands to protect her child from a potential threat who could also be another changeling (she obv didn't know who RD was or is until finally told), THAT'S where u draw the line??? A mother protecting her child from another potential shapeshifting enemy and that's where u start to fucking cry? Your logic is flawed and mindset ignorant at best. Go send your issues and mental instability somewhere else
11629813
1.You're the one who bought up comparison to real world first, by applying your logic.
I questioned consistency by compare it to previous chapters.
You imposed your skewed moral value on a fictional character.
Who know what would happened if you can get away with doing anything? After all, this "She's in the right to assault someone!" came directly from your brain.
If the fear of laws enforcement and retaliation didn't keep you in check, what would you do?
2.You don't argue about my Celestia's talking point, are you agree with me on that, or did you lacked excuse?
3.you can continue arguing with me via dm if you wished, I will no longer continue this on someone else's story's comment section.

No, I don't care to argue this moot pt with you any further it'll be just a waste of both our times and possibly escalate things into a more heated debate that I cant be bothered to continue.
2. I didn't bother arguing the Celestia pt bc my pts were focused on Hazel and Speckles, not the legitimacy of Celestia and her way of reign. If u wanna argue the constant invasion attempts of Speckles mindscape from Luna with no justification there then we can, but that's a whole other can of worms. (And I'm on a phone and I can't keep scrolling up and down to counter act everything u have said, too tedious)
Honestly, I get a kick out of any story where Rainbow gets some sense beaten into her.
I love this story, sad that I cant give more then one thumbs up.
I've quite enjoyed this story and am glad to see it getting more regular updates. Yet with each new chapter I am reminded just how unlikable this version of Celestia is, she deserved that beating not Rainbow Dash. Sadly it's also a rather realistic portrayal of a leader in power making the kind of hard decisions that are required to lead a nation. So um I guess what I mean is, good job with the writing.
Now I'm trying to imagine what kind of clause would let Spitfire override the princess's orders. Here's hoping she didn't just put her hoof in it.
Let it be said that Mama Hazel is one heck of a fighter.
Note to RD NEVER fuck whit a tiger mom like Hazel it wil be the last Thing you do holy marcorony shes a Mother whit extra M great chaptor aswell :) p.s hazeal best mom ever
Damb!
THE POWER OF MOTHER HOOD B*TCHES!!!!!

Ohh no, a FANFIC writer did something different than CANON?
Call the internet police, thats a violation! 🙄
Not to mention its not even a crossover.
Amazing. I like it when authors make the pegasi-slash-Cloudsdale part of Equestria have some sort of autonomy. They were a warrior class, after all; it's understandable that they have some sort of martial law clause that overrides even the Diarchy.

Checks and balances. To keep one system from having to much power or absolute authority but and this is a big one. I don't think it will stop Celestia only slow her. How I do not know until we here from Spitfire how she's overriding this. Twilight can still send a letter with no repercussion.
She was likely told not to because Spitfire is aware that Celestia might be able to find a solution before what ever law can be enforced.
In the end I'd dosen't matter it's already to late. Unless this law forbids the spread of any and all information from unlawful espionage. Celestia will have all she needs to hear. That Speckles can use powerful magic foreign to pegasus and sound's suspiciously like dragon magic
