"You're right. If these… humans," Chrysalis practically spat out the word with disgust, "Really do have such powerful weapons, we should take them over instead."
"What? Why? I mean, I get that they have powerful magic and all, but at the end of the day, they're just humans after all. They might be powerful, but they're still kinda worthless," Cozy Glow said, "Especially if we're going to be in charge of a kingdom full of them.
"Because once we control the humans of Utopia, we will have the power to take over all of Equestria by force instead. Our plan will be fool proof," Chrysalis began to take on a dreamy tone, "Imagine having weapons that can destroy your enemies just by being pointed at them. That is how you said those weapons work, correct?"
"Well, we only saw their 'syringe shooters' in action, but when their leader put it to my forehead, he said he could use it to… kill me," Tirek explained, "The way I understand it, if you don't like someone, you point at them, and they won't live anymore."
"But I am still skeptical about this… draconequus project you speak of. I highly doubt that a bunch of humans would be able to create something as powerful as a draconequus, even if they are an ancient, million year old species. Speaking of which, do you really believe them?" Chrysalis asked.
"I think there's some truth to their words," Tirek replied.
"Yeah, I mean, you should've seen them. Utopia was like something right out of a science fiction novel!" Cozy Glow added. "I know they're just humans, and I know that we're about to invade them, but still… respect where it's due."
"So, I need to ask the both of you once more. Are you really, completely certain, that with these humans under our control, that we will be able to take over all of Equestria?" Chrysalis asked, wanting confirmation.
"Heh, all of Equestria?" Tirek chuckled, "With them under our control, we'll be able to take over all of Equs. Especially with having a reality warping draconequus as an attack dog to call upon whenever we want. We'll be unstoppable, because they'll be unstoppable."
"Wouldn't you just steal Eris's magic?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Why should I? If I stole her magic, neither one of us would be able to warp reality. If I have her under my control though…" Tirek noticed that both of them looked like they were getting aggravated. "I'm sorry, I mean that if we have her under our control, we'll basically be able to do whatever we want," he corrected himself, making them begin to slowly form malicious grins.
“Wait, how exactly are we going to take over Utopia anyway?” Chrysalis asked. “I mean, I have no doubt we could easily accomplish taking over a bunch of humans, but we do still need a plan. And I don’t think that old goat is going to be too agreeable with us breaking away from him,” Chrysalis reminded, “Grogar is definitely going to be our biggest problem for the time being.”
“Well, I’m glad you asked. Grogar’s long absence has give me time to prepare the next part of our plan,” Tirek replied. He then blew out a torch, followed by sliding out a piece of the stone wall; a secret compartment. He then brought out an old, worn out looking iron bell. “Grogar’s bell,” he said as he levitated it in front of all of them. “This artefact can steal any creature’s magic. It holds that magic until it is released by this spell,” he showed them a page of the book he was holding, which showed the directions to how to perform the spell. “Which means all the power inside is ours for the taking,” Tirek said with satisfaction in his voice. He then began kissing the bell, before Cozy Glow snatched it up from him.
“You’re drooling on the bell,” she said, annoyed.
Chrysalis then snatched the bell from Cozy Glow as she tried to hold onto it. "Let's perform the spell before Grogar gets back," Chrysalis said, "I don't think he would be so agreeable with us doing this."
"Take my hands," Tirek said, but they didn't, giving him a 'wtf?' look. "So we can all be part of the spell," he added after a few moments. "Unless you'd prefer I take all the magic myself?" He asked with a grin.
"Our path stands, what we do we do together. We force these humans to serve us, then we can use their weapons… and their draconequus. Once we have control of them, we can use them to claim this land and take over whatever kingdoms we want. Then we can all rule our kingdoms, alone," Chrysalis said, putting emphasis on the word 'alone'.
Tirek then started the spell. The bell floated up, followed by making an echoing ring. The bell then blasted them with a ray of orange and black energy, making them a lot stronger than before. They then laughed a magical laughter, fully confident that the entire world was soon about to be theirs.
"I have returned," Grogar announced. "Unfortunately for you, our little get together has to come to an end. I'm breaking up with you," he chuckled. "The only reason I decided upon uniting with the three of you was to actually help Twilight Sparkle in getting a confidence boost by beating the three of you. However, things have changed. The biggest threat that Equestria has ever known has returned once again, and I definitely don't need the three of you on the loose while they're around. I love chaos, but letting you three run around at a time like this isn't chaos, it's stupidity. So, unfortunately, I'm gonna be sending the three of you to Tartarus," he explained, still not noticing that the three of them were absent. "It's not you, it's me. We're gonna have to… break… up..?" He noticed that the three of them weren't there… at least, that's what he thought.
All of them were confused at Grogar’s words. They knew that he now planned on betraying them, but they didn’t exactly know why. Though, considering that these strange humans had emerged recently, they did have an idea as to who this ‘biggest threat ever’ was. What they didn’t understand was why Grogar wanted to betray them in the first place; everything was going according to their plan, so betraying them would only serve to work against him. It would make him three very powerful enemies, and make it even harder for him to conquer Equestria. Another thing they didn’t understand was why he would want to betray them now; the return of the biggest threat to Equestria ever would be a perfect opportunity for them to take over while the princesses and the elements were preoccupied. But in the end, they didn’t care much that Grogar planned on betraying them, because they were going to betray him first anyway.
As Grogar looked around, two glowing green eyes appeared on the ceiling ahead of him. “Oh, way ahead of you, Grogar,” It was the voice of Chrysalis. She then spat out a sticky substance that was aimed at his two front legs, glueing them to the floor and rendering them immobile. Then, there was a short rumbling, followed by the doorway to his right bursting open, revealing a much larger and much more powerful Lord Tirek. A bright light then began glowing from the doorway to his left, which was followed by the entrance of Cozy Glow, who was now a mini Alicorn with a charged horn. Cozy Glow then shot an energy blast at grogar, which was poorly aimed, allowing him to easily dodge it. Cozy Glow then floated the bell towards him, with a dark pink aura surrounding it.
“The bell? You had it all this time? Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked, now growing worried.
“We’re villains, duh,” Cozy Glow said as if it was obvious. The three of them then simultaneously shot a spell at the bell, causing it to activate with an echoing ring. It then began absorbing ‘Grogar’s’ magic with the same yellow and black aura, and as Grogar’s magic was torn from him, he slowly began shifting into something very… unexpected. With all his magic gone, he shapeshifted back into Discord, and fell to the ground with a thud.
“That was unexpected,” Tirek stated, his voice full of confusion.
Discord gave an embarrassed wave, then got up, followed by snapping his fingers… which did nothing. He tried twice more, but to no avail. The trio then began approaching him slowly, causing him to quickly scurry out of the cave.
"Wait… Discord was Grogar? Like the whole time?" Cozy Glow asked, her mind still wracked with confusion. "Should we follow him?" She asked.
"Without magic he's no threat," Chrysalis replied dismissively. "Besides, we have plans…"
"So lemme get this straight," Ember said angrily, "The First Humans have returned, but now not only do we have to deal with them, but the combined forces of Cozy Glow, Chrysalis, and Tirek?"
"Yes?" Discord replied sheepishly.
"And not only that, but we no longer have the means to teleport all of our forces to the First Humans' lair and launch our surprise attack!" King Steel Horn said angrily, "And even if we came by hoof, do you have any idea how long it would take to move an army here, along with the necessary weapons and supplies to help maintain said army?!"
"Remind me again, Discord, how exactly would uniting those three have actually helped Twilight?" Celestia asked, irritated.
"Well, it appears I may have made a lapse in judgement," Discord replied.
"You could've given her reassuring words like everypony else, but no, you decided to unite those three for whatever reason!" Said Celestia angrily.
"You are an idiot!" King Steel Horn shouted at Discord angrily. "We are having a global crisis! These First Humans could very well spell the end for every single creature in the world and you know that! Yet, you still somehow manage to mess up! How is it even possible for somecreature to be this stupid?! Congratulations draconequus, you might have single handedly ended the world!" King Steel Horn said.
"Discord! What on Equs was going through your mind when you did that?!" Cadence asked, surprised at his stupidity.
"I had all of this planned before the reemergence of the First Humans," he replied, though his voice lacked its regular confidence, "I couldn't have known this was going to happen."
"How did you even manage to come up with such a stupid way to 'help' Twilight in the first place?!" Ember asked, "It honestly baffles me how somecreature would even be capable of such a high level of stupidity! I didn't even think such idiocy was possible before you did that!"
"Well, note that we can't get our soldiers here, what do you propose we do?" Ember asked.
"Well, at this point, there's only one of two ways this can go," King Steel Horn spoke up, "Either Equestria launches the preemptive strike by themselves, or we lose the element of surprise. It'll take at least a few days for our forces to arrive, which will allow the First Humans to anticipate and prepare for our attack, leading to a long, drawn out conflict. If the Equestrian military chooses to strike now, we could eliminate the First Humans quickly and efficiently, with very little resistance and without the need for a full on war."
Celestia scoffed. "You can't honestly tell me you're really expecting me to risk my ponies' lives," Celestia said.
"That's what I AM expecting," Steel Horn replied.
"So, you're saying that you want me to risk the lives of - " Celestia was cut off.
"King Steel is right," Luna agreed, unexpectedly.
"What?" Celestia turned towards her sister in disbelief.
"King Steel Horn is right," Luna repeated.
"W- what? You can't tell me you're siding with him? These are your subjects too!" Celestia reminded.
"I know, and that's the reason I agree with him. We must protect our subjects," said Luna.
"I- I'm confused Luna," Celestia said, "I can't believe you! You just said you wanted to risk our subjects' lives, and now you're saying you're trying to protect them?"
"If we don't attack them now, and with the element of surprise, the First Humans will be fully prepared for our attack. Rather than a quick execution, things will escalate into a war, a war that will see many, many more of not just ponies killed, but everycreature else as well. Being so close to Equestria however, would mean that the ponies would be right in the middle of the war. The ponies will suffer the most if we don't destroy this threat with haste," Luna explained.
"But still, the army will be full of Equestrian soldiers. We'll be risking so many lives!" Celestia said.
"If we attack now, we'll be risking many lives. But if we don't, we'll be dooming many more," Luna replied.
"Your sister is right, Celestia," Cadence said, "If these humans are as bad as you say they are, their only purpose right now would be to kill… or rather, drain as many of us as possible to extend their lives. If we let them be, they will bulldoze through Equestria, destroying everything in their wake and becoming stronger with each advance by indoctrinating more humans into their armies. Equestria will be destroyed, and then the empire, and then Yakyakistan, then Griffonstone and so on."
"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here," King Steel Horn spoke up suddenly.
"I'm sorry, King Steel, but now isn't exactly the best time to - " Steel Horn cut Celestia off as he continued his explanation.
"It came to me when I tried to classify the First Humans, and I realized that they're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but the First Humans do not. They move to an area and they multiply and multiply until every single living creature that isn't a human is consumed, and the only way they can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?" He paused, and when he received no answer, he continued. "A virus. The First Humans are a disease, a cancer of this planet. They're a plague and we are the cure," he paused for a moment, thinking about what to say next. "If antibodies are introduced during the early stages of infection, the antibodies overwhelm the virus, eliminating it quickly. If the antibodies are introduced after the virus is left to fester, it becomes stronger; strong enough to then overwhelm the antibodies. At that point, the virus ravages the host, now becoming completely unstoppable as it multiplies and mutates as it spreads. Do you know what happens next?" He asked rhetorically and paused for dramatic effect. "The virus moves through the body, killing everything until only the virus is left. It kills the host," he said, with everybody present understanding the imagery he was using. "I just hope you understand what I'm saying, Celestia, and choose the former option rather than the latter," he said, ending off his speech.
"WHAT? How in the nine circles of hell did one little pony escape the most highly advanced drones humanity has to offer? And not to mention the most highly skilled drone pilots in the world!" Felix shouted at General Holden. He was now furious.
General Holden audibly gulped. "She… gave us the slip," he said nervously. "And destroyed one of our drones and damaged another," he admitted. Hiding the truth would do more harm than good, especially when the president would find out rather easily.
"Heh… haha… hahahahhahaahah!" He burst out in fake laughter. "You mean to tell me she escaped because your men couldn't do the simple job of using some of the most advanced pieces of technology known to man to track a horse? A horse, that I remind you, doesn't even know what a drone is!" He said angrily, "And how the FUCK did it manage to destroy one of our drones in the first place?!"
"It ambushed the drone sir. It used a piece of wood and rammed it into one of the drone's propellers, causing it to explode," General Holden replied.
"Congress is going to be choosing a president tomorrow! Your shortcomings are going to be attributed to me, and they're definitely not going to overlook this! How am I supposed to win over their support when I have to tell them about this?!" Felix yelled. "General Holden, I'M GOING TO… I'M GOING TO!" Felix took a few deep breaths to calm down. "I want whoever was piloting the drone that got ambushed fired. Transfer him to construction," he said, now in a much calmer and more professional tone. "Why didn't you just perform an aerial reconnaissance to find the pony?" Felix asked.
"The forest canopy was quite thick. It would be extremely difficult to spot her among the trees if we were to do aerial reconnaissance. And we couldn't use thermal imaging since thermal imaging can't see through forest canopies. Well, it can, but it's very hard to pick out a distinct heat signature, so it could have easily been missed. And the in-built AI's are programmed to detect the shapes of human heat signatures, not horses. So, we had to fly extremely close to the ground, below the forest canopy," Holden explained.
Felix sighed in frustration. "Well, get it fixed as soon as you can. Tell our programmers to enable it to detect pony signatures as soon as possible," Felix ordered. "Now, one other thing. The one that escaped was a kind of… military scout, yes?" Felix asked.
"Yes sir, they were scouts for their primitive military," General Holden replied.
"So, given their hostility towards us in both of our encounters with them, we can only assume that they sent these scouts for a reason. Can you tell me what that reason is, general?" Felix asked.
"Well, scouts are usually sent to locate and observe a target," Holden replied, too worried to give the full answer.
"Let me help you finish that, general. Scouts are usually sent to locate and observe a target of attack," he corrected, "So, as the USU's highest military authority… well, except for me… what are you going to do about it?"
"All Utopian nations are currently working together. We've begun readying the drones, along with transporting whatever jets aren't in the main hangar outside. The surrounding area is being cleared of trees as we speak, to ensure no obstructions are within our makeshift runway," Holden then took a look at his tablet. "Four thousand troops from all of our nation's have already been posted around the area. We currently have eight tanks on the ground, and two more waiting to be deployed. Scientists are working round the clock and experimenting on the pony soldier we've captured. All of the information that we've gained from him has been recorded down, and there's some pretty crazy stuff there… such as their leaders apparently being demigods of some kind and being capable of moving the sun and moon."
"Good… good. We're well defended then, I assume?" Felix asked. "How many drones do we have ready?"
"Over a hundred thousand medium helicopter type drones, along with several dozen large jet type ones. Most of our larger drones are within the main hangar though, so we only have several dozen that can be deployed," Holden explained.
"Hmm… excellent work, despite your previous shortcomings that got us into this mess in the first place," Felix complimented.
“I apologise, sir. None of us could have foreseen the creature literally teleporting out of the chariot. But sir, you can rest assured that if they do indeed attack us, they will be but lambs to the slaughter,” the general said confidently. “Unless of course, you would like us to try to scare them off rather than fight them?” Holden asked.
“No. We’ve already given them two chances, and with both chances they were given, they showed nothing but hostility. Even if they had no idea what a drone was, they still threatened to attack it, completely unprovoked, when we just asked them to leave… rather nicely, I might add. These creatures have shown that they are extremely violent and aggressive in nature, and the only way we can coexist with them is if they know exactly who’s boss. And not to mention the fact that they apparently use all other humans as slaves as far as we’ve seen. If they don’t want to negotiate with us, and choose to constantly attack us, we must control them through fear. We must show them that their actions have consequences, that they can’t just attack us and expect us to just sit there and take it. And, of course, if they don’t wish to put an end to their enslavement of our species, we’ll just have to force them to do so,” Felix replied. “That right there was a part of the speech I was gonna give to congress, whaddya think?” Felix asked.
“Well, it is something sir. It’s pretty great,” Holden replied.
“I know. It was made by me after all,” Felix replied.
“Will that be all sir?” Holden asked.
“Yes, yes. I would love for you to stay and chat, but I’ve gotta check up on Keifer,” said Felix, “Dismissed.”
“Sir!” Holden said with a salute, followed by leaving the oval office.
Wait. We're already at the final of season 9? When the Mane Six were captured, they had barely defeated Sombra if I remember correctly, and not even a day must have passed since then.
i vomited a little when i saw that quote
10965747
you forgot to add that with a revolution stopped such a short time ago if news of what is happening spreads before they can deal with them then all the countrys will have to deal with their own human slaves gaining hope. I also wonder if or when the ponys and others find out that they were only fighting the equivelet of a noble in the past will they try make peace before it is too late? im hoping eris wakes up and is able to help soon
10969571
i was wondering the same thing
10969571
10969630
The timeline is changed completely. Basically they went to get the bell after Sombra was defeated. Tirek and Cozy Glow told Chrysalis about Utopia, and they made a plan to take over Utopia instead. Then Discord showed up early to put the villains down, but the bell was used on him instead.
10969641
Ah, I see. Makes sense.
XD WTF?
This is logically wrong and inaccurate on so many levels.
Actually....it can be done even if thermal imaging wouldn't see thought the trunks of trees
https://www.quora.com/Can-a-satellite-see-people-with-thermal-imaging-through-thick-trees?share=1
https://www.aaas.org/news/rescue-drone-sees-through-thick-forest-track-people
https://www.infrascan.com.au/blog/can-thermal-imaging-cameras-see-through-these-19-things
If a rescue drone has that ability then military drones also have
Also didn't they launch the satellite, I'\m pretty sure there was a talk about launching on in some chapter
Did anyone else's blood boil a bit when King Steel compared humanity to a virus and they're the cure?
Tell me that TIrek isn't that stupid and just agrees to controlling humans so Cozy and Chrysalis would just go along with the plan.
And will straight away raise his hands and surrender and essentially give these two as an offerings.
10969659
Well, they unintentionally limited themselves by having the in-built AI track human shaped heat signatures. They couldn't have foreseen fighting against mini horses.
10969665
Nah, this is at the point where they've formed a genuine alliance and are now 'friends'. They just don't know their magic doesn't work on humans yet, so they think they're strong enough to take over now, with the power of the bell. Obviously, I'm gonna make the humans completely oblivious to the fact that they came back with malicious intent and be like 'Oh hey, you came back to help Eris? And you brought a friend? That's great! These barbaric horses should be more like you!'
10969683
Humans will probably notice
I mean even if they will try to pretend ,their acting skills are of that of a spectacle , movie,etc and every human saw these tropes and cliches
10969687
No, I mean I'm gonna make them comedically oblivious. More along the lines of ignorant. Here's an example:
Tirek: Surrender now and we will show you mercy.
Humans: HAHAHAHA nice one. Anyway, come on in. Thanks for coming back to help Eris by the way. And sorry for having to keep you against your will earlier, but we have other sources of information now.
10969692
It was at this moment that Tirek knew, the trio fucked up.And scared silently goes inside
Good chapter. I think the M6 chapter would be a good refreshing before the battle. Let's see how the guests settled in their place. (Still hoping for Fluttershy being a bit friendlier for humans. And Twilight working with Eris)
Tell me, approximately how many soldiers will participate from both sides?
Will the Utopians take prisoners? (I hope so)
Will Steel Horn die a terrible death? (I hope so)
Are you planning to give humans any allies?
10969714
Its clear that the "human" mirror-world doesn't exist or Sunset would immediately leave the mirror or do something else but not be there with "filthy" humans.
She probably run away from Celestia.
WTF ?
No XD
That would be a joke
There are many more things to a gun than just basic gunpowder.They would need hundreds years of war to develop proper ones, and humans wouldn't let them anyway.
Also, that party tank is a gag that clearly wouldn't just exist/fit in this version of Equestria.Like the magic mirror and other stuff.
Also, use of gunpowder weapons and guns in general, doesn't fit their quadruped body build
Also again no.
Also ,even if that human mirror world existed in canon it's clearly a pony world pretending to be humans with smartphones. All in is about related social media stuff.

static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/a/a4/Map_of_Equestria_2015.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151205072352
Even the Badlands nuke would be enough
All you need is to have more than 50 of them to destroy each species country without leaving any chance for survival, and have many left in case of similar situation in the future
Then you send 5 for example to Equestria,and even considering its size it would be an overkill,5 would cover their most populated areas and 9 would cover Equestria's territory.
(Red is for 5 most important targets, blue is with red for 9 just for making sure targets (minus the striped Badlands ))
i.ibb.co/F4ngbcr/Map-of-Equestria-places-to-send-nukes-with-radius-of-Badlands.png
And considering that all countries took all their nukes to Utopia, minus that one weak one in Area 51, they probably have deadlier ones
https://largest.org/technology/nuclear-bombs/
And probably even deadlier
Also Utopia has 50k nukes so.....
WAIT.....
SOMETHING JUST CLICKED!
Are changelings results of humans experimenting on ponies?
Their place of hive would explain that.
I wonder if they implanted/created in their minds some mind commands,so they will follow their orders and not escape.
Think about it like in Star Wars Clone Wars , clones have chips controlling their minds, making them do what they are ordered to do, etc but for Changelings it would also be an organic chip that would be passed thought generations so every changeling has it, waiting for humans to make orders
10969683
No. No. NO. The Nahuya suka blyat are you going to make people such idiots?
Discord screws up big eh? He may have just unintentionally averted a massive international tragedy. Also, while I don't mind them not seeing the villainous trio as a threat, but please don't have them completely dismiss them either. If they are permitted into Utopia then they should constantly be either under escort or watched by ALICE. Even if they are not a physical threat to staff, they can still be a threat to their "guests." Having a confrontation in utopia between the villains and the six were neither side can attack the other would make for a fun dynamic. Due to his size Tirek will likely have trouble getting around inside. Just please make sure that they are given their due caution. Also, screw Steel Horn.
10969787
Execute order 66
Here's an idea, the trio returns to Utopia with the intent of subjugating them and fail. Afterwards they are taken into custody and Twilight is given a time frame. She needs to help Eris before she goes critical and the humans resort to having Tirek drain her magic. This would be an incentive for her to both stay in Utopia and succeed on saving Eris as Tirek gaining chaos magic would be a horrendous scenario to her. In addition, by taking the three into custody, the bewitching bell which at this point will still contain discord's magic will fall into Utopia's hands. Utopia will do what they will with it, but by having the bell it de-fangs Equestria's best weapon at this point since discord will be powerless until the acquire the bell. I can go on for more, but I just had to get this out there.
10969865
Better idea
Give Discord magic to Eris.
Or if at the moment it would be too much power for her.
They should try to study things about magic and put Discord magic into a different container so they could study the bell more without having something important inside.
Then enclose low magic metal around it, completely sealing it. Like enclosing it in titanium and uranium block
Then the only way for it to be opened would be by advanced and electric human tools
Oh Chrissy, try as hard as you want, but humans won't help you, no matter what you offer them. Not that they even need one, anyways.
Good luck, your 'preemptive strike' is gonna lose the element of surprise the moment it's assembled. Thermals and surveillance drones are gonna detect a large concentration of creatures in one area(that's your army) and would be a hundred steps ahead of you.
Yeah no, I bet if you creatures have modern technology like us, you would do the same thing like we did. Dig deep and dig greedily, it gets worse for dragons, griffons and minotaur since they're an arrogant and greedy bunch.
Nuke test on the Everfree! Let's see how they'll react when a forest they can't tame with their oh so special magic, gone in a matter of seconds(possibly the Tree of Harmony too, but it's underground, so it may survive the blast) .
Oh yeah, here's another thought. I completely forgot about Atticus. The Legion of Doom could probably convince him to leak information from Utopia by saying that they could help Eris with her chaos magic. Now that's a concerning thought. I think that's the only possible threat to Utopia, Atticus's betrayal. He'll do anything to save his daughter, possibly even betray Utopia, with some sweet talk and fake promises they might convince Atticus to do so.
Not counting the drones and tanks don't humans also have modern artillery and mobile turrets?
Equestria army won't even come close in any way to even see the Utopia.
The best possibility for them is that less than 10% of their army will even see the spot where once Tartarus was.
They will get bombarded when they still will have days to travel, or when they will camp/rest/sleep
10969787
Now that's an interesting thought. Maybe changelings were born from the thermonuke radiation. I don't know if they would be subservient to humans because I still have no idea where they came from(human experimentation? Or thermonuke radiation? Or both?).
10969929
Changelings and their abilities seem to be created, and with purpose.
Think.
Capturing them behind enemy lines would be good to destroy morale and to additionally harvest passive magic.
10969588
What quote?
10969660
I'm content for him to have in fantasies for the time being, at the end of the day it'll be him staring wide-eyed when his army's dancing in flames.
Generally I can't wait for them to create anty magic EMP.
It can have various versions
There can also be other versions that can be permanent if not treated, but that one would be unnecessary with the possibility of a temporary version.
Additionally, there could be another version of these 2 variants, that would target both passive and active magic, all magic.
Of course, all versions would have an option what race to include or exclude,like native humans.
It could be by targeting certain types, combinations and levels of magic/radiation
10969961
I'm assuming it'll be like the Thalmann generators from the negotiations verse, but knowing that humanity is significantly more advanced in this universe it'll probably be capable of completely negating magic instead of suppressing it.
10969964
Completely negating magic would mean eliminating passive magic, which would mean killing.
EMP would be a better choice in war, so they can disturb completely countries from inside by just shooting them.
A generator,creating a big field,etc would be good when they will occupy, control territory with magic creatures.But that's later
10969950
So you're saying that changelings might be some humanoid creation made by Vega Corp. to infiltrate ponies with their shape-shifting skills. To create such species you're gonna need to insert certain genes and play with its DNA.
Hmm, might be plausible I don't know if humans had developed shape-shifting genes, camouflage is the more sensible route since you have the chameleon and butterfly genes to insert in your new artificial species. Shape-shifting on the other hand, I don't know if there is any species with such ability in its genes.
Assuming your theory is true, either the nuclear radiation messes up with its DNA and creating a new ability, which is shape-shifting. Other possible radiation might be Keifer's radiation or Chaos magic. But, the latter might not be the case since Discord or Tirek would have detected chaos magic(but they haven't chect it yet, iirc).
Even if they're are Vega Corp creation, they might not obey Utopia if they're programmed to serve the Vega Corp's board of directors, not every human being(I don't know if they're programmed to do so, but let's just assume they did for security measures so that only they can use it, not other humans or ponies). Unless, if Utopia can override it's programming, it would be useful for sure. For humans, that is.
Well about time you featured a battle. Also you kinda forgot about the perivous president’s daughter. I mean, whay about her? Is she getting cured or not, or is it already too late?
Ponies are not ready for tanks.

I think at this point she has the powers of discord and is more or less the same person personality wise

We know they can make the permanent one because that corporation already did with a fraction of the resources also they already have a machine that can turn magic into energy so it would not be a surprise if the weaponized it
Cazy Glow & Co is gonna get killed, Equestria & Co is 100% gonna get annihilated. I say use one nuke, maybe a few to scare them
Ponies: We are the cure.
Human: We're COVID.

No we are like a super virus it’s basically it’s a virus that is immune to antibiotics and treatments

I must know did you put an "a" instead of an "o" when typing cozy, or did you forget the "r" when typing crazy.

Agreed nuke also try to make a virus that can kill all life forms other than humans they said they could develop that that and make more eris like beings to use as super soldiers also use eris herself

Part of me wants to see the humans use cozy glow and co to fight their enemies as they are shared
we should kill and put these dirty savages in concentration camps and kill them all

If you ask me, ponies aren't taking humans serious enough despite the evidence presented and guards killed after they offered peace. At least, not until an entire squad was wiped with one survivor.
Humans... Eh. you probably see where this correlation is going.

yeah, in a few chapters. i haven't forgotten about her yet lol

If humans could do that, it would make the story super unrealistic. Even more so considering it's not a 'futuristic' story, but rather one set in the near future. So nah, I'm not gonna make that happen.

I already have an idea for something like this. If you want a hint as to what it is (if you are able to figure it out from the hint):
Major spoilers: The thing that they're going to use to make the device has already been revealed. It's also the same one the corporation used btw, but I'm gonna make in on a superweapon scale.
Was it a severe and continuous lapse in your judgement?
