Beat them scumbags!
Hoping that anon will bring this gross abuse of power to Celestia's attention once he returns to canterlot
I would have goon with try for ground endurance foot race 4v4 last one moving at a set clip wins watch the human wreck them
I wonder what would happen if Anon busted a cap in the MXP totem?
God I hope they get beaten into the ground

it is apparently an old thing so maby the princesses if not get rid of it change it slightly
Nice
I apologise for making a serious mistake in the expected timeline of events. I was expecting these guys to be aiming towards hours delay or blocking instead of just the quick win and not bothering after?
Dragon.
Im sorry, I was lucky to get to see the last unrestricted acrobatic Vulcan display.
Hearing it howl, then see it slip backwards out of the sky, standing on its tail, deliberatly, only a a couple thousand foot up if that, is something you dont tend to forget. Especially when you then discover youre right at the center of its turning circle at the start of the run as it peeled off from its Red Arrows escort.
Looking forward to some slapdown. And some outright cheating.
Anon is so going to be hug by Sparkshower by the end of this isn't he?
Duck’s gonna get goosed!
This bullshit could be avoided if Anon had bothered to build a GUN!!!!
Seriously just build a gun and shoot them all.
Sparkshower's theme right now:
Yeah, dragon-fighting's an entirely different paradigm. The difference between starlings and peregrines I suppose.

If she's used to flying in that cataphract's getup she'll have monstrous reserves to draw on. Run the fool into the ground.

Try building a gun from scratch without having access to current tech.
Try building a gun, explicitly deadly weapon, in peaceful, extremely low-tech but magical country.
Try building a gun when you're on top visible position as an ambassador and you didn't even care for any guards until they were literally forced on you and that's only because it's political move rather than protective one.
Seriously, are you that tone deaf?
This entire scenario could have been avoided if by the rules established the challenger picks the battle method. He just had to declare a thumb war, ponies lack the appendage and thus they lose by default. If one would argue it is not within reason, all Anon would have to say is "yes it is. I have thumbs and thus it is perfectly within reason for me. If you have an issue with it, then you are a racist and I doubt Celestia would want to hear about a squadron of her elite being led by a racist. A racist who is harassing her royal engineer and trying to kidnap one of his guards." I mean seriously, all he has to do is threaten to inform Celestia about this, Celestia is old and wise enough to see through any excuse. Kilfeather would end up on the streets dishonorably discharged and that would be that. Lol, An engineer's job is to construct and deconstruct a situation. The fact that Anon offered nothing of value to the set-up of this scenario makes him come off as a peripheral and not a character.

Actually what would be more hilarious is that right after it’s revealed that celestia was keeping an eye on him while he traveled and received word of it before they even return. Imagine, not only will the scumbags get bested, but they also get busted shortly afterwards.
10506425
I hope that happens now, the guards will probably try to spin some bullshit tale and belive they get away with it because there's more of them than anons group
The next chapter titel is 'epic smackdown of wanna be hotshots' ?
10506425
Absolutly mindblowing karma moment
10506366
Nice soundtrack. I still think the prev suggested SW Republic Commando fits better. Plus you can auto read wile its playing in the background
10506386
Badass picture. That Pony would indeed give me pause if i ever encounter it.
10506411
They can use their wings as thumbs
Honestly I dont mind the whole challenge thing as long as people like Anon on official business can just go by. Gives the nobility a real challenge to escape from canterlot during this time
And now the royal engineer is isolated away from his guards.

To be fair building a gun from scratch is actually really easy. I built a fully functioning 1911 with access to nothing more than a lathe and a Vertical Mill. The lathe has been around since 1300 BC and the Vertical Mill was invented in 1818. If we're going off from Strictly the show they obviously have hydroelectric power. case and point the dam in the Mare Do Well episode not to mention they also must have semi Advanced manufacturing because they have clearly visible heart monitors in their hospitals which you can clearly see when Rainbow Dash busted her wing and got into liking reading Daring Do books. Casings, propellant and primers might be a little more difficult but not by much. I will not go into full detail in how that is achieved because I'm not trying to get myself in trouble.

Actually the biggest issue with building a simple gun is discovering the recipe for gunpowder. If you provide that, any decent blacksmith can give you a basic gun easily enough. If you know enough to think about rifling all the better.
The only reason it was discovered in the first place was alchemists making a very well funded and fanatical attempt to find a formula for immortality. It would be very easy for a society to go pretty high tech without gunpowder.
Well, I would call this a big tease. Good to see their action plan, now I can only wish tomorrow to come sooner. I look forward to the next chapter.

I do hope that Kilfeather will get reprimanded, preferably by Celestia herself. I really hope his failing fall is spectacular and completely satisfying.
10506500
Once they accepted, Celestia probably can't do much about it at all -- it would cause too many ripples.
10506504
... Ah. Too true, I don't remember the nobles opinion being explained on such a tradition, but it is certainly a likely point.
Perhaps, a more realistic hope now would be, a private meeting. Nothing serious, just a meeting of Celestia explaining how thin the ice is for Kilfeather.

It is significant that Artemis' heavy armor load and issued weapon are made entirely of bronze.
The wheels of fate are turning...
Rebel One, Action!
I admit I was kinda hoping to see Anon hulk slam a pony, puny pony.
Purple pony with green mane, always laughing, call sign “Joker”?

10506637
Actually I was thinking "Top Gun" myself.

10506650
As with the other ponies in the squadron, his name references a character in Top Gun, in this case 'Jester', played by Michael Ironside.
By appearance and speech, yes, he's Mark Hamill's Joker.
if I could make an alternate suggestion for interlude music more befitting of an aerial fight, might I suggest Hanz Zimmer's Supermarine, especially with regards to Sparkshower's tactic to save her strength, draw out the fight, wear out her opponent, and lend a final winning strike
10506549
Because ponies don't have depleted uranium?

Preach brother.derpicdn.net/img/2018/12/14/1907862/full.gif
Loved the line then and love it still.

As long as he acts within the rules he can get away with just about anything. Its the same in our military, follow the rules and you can pretty much do what you want.

Or, as was brought up when we found out about the mine collapse, a large-scale steel industry. Something that was probably pretty useful to have developing in our own world around the same time we moved into using firearms.
Kick their fucking asses!
Um, are you NOT going to secure your visor? Ok...
And so it begins...
Nice music by the way, Master and Commander is one of my favorites.
Young mare, you too can be a dragon
10506549
No xD .
Fuck yeah!

If you want humans being unstoppable badasses, go read stories at your My Little Human website. This is My Little Pony, it's not here for humans to shit all over the main point of our fandom.
Bet Sparks is still go na get dragged into the fight.
Holy shit, talk about a 180°. My head's spinning with her sudden tonal shift.
See the problem here is that even if they win, this di k face will just get all butthurt and try something even more ridiculous. Psychos like this are worthless and are incapable of doing anything good or right. As such they are a cancer on society and need to be culled without hesitation or mercy. Those who knowingly support them deserve the same fate. Evil like this needs to be destroyed.
"I never knew you Guard could be so insubordinate. By impeding my mission, you impede on the command of our monarch. ...Now wouldn't that be something interesting to tell the Princess?"

The necessary political leeway afforded to officers of the crown can make for some very convoluted politics.
