I should probably put something here, shouldn't I?

Ah'm trying to tell you guys, but yer not listenin'. Haven't you two noticed Twilight actin' different lately? How she's always nervous in public now? Or how 'bout the fact she's never at her library no more? It's like she's hidin' somethin' and Ah know what it is. She's got wings, and we're gonna prove it.

Spin-off of Ascend.

Chapters (1)
Comments ( 37 )

Author's Notes: AKA "The Retcon Story". While reading Ascend isn't required, it is strongly recommended. You all have 1666322 to thank for this abomination against mankind. Like everything I seem to write lately, I dislike this chapter. It seems contrived and the formatting is really awkward. Hopefully chapter two will be better.

And before I get any smart alec remarks, the title is using the second meaning of "hunter", as in "a person searching for something".

One would think that with this fandom the size it is, finding a picture of the CMC with nets or binoculars--you know, a cover image that would actually match the story--would be easy, right? WRONG! After looking through all of Derpibooru's, Know Your Meme's, and 2,500 of DeviantArt's CMC pictures I still couldn't find a good picture and so decided to use a "default" one instead.

Chapter Nine of Ascend is only about a thousand words in, so don't expect it until the end of the week (if that).

So THIS is what you've been, instead of updating Ascend! It better be worth it. I will edit this comment later with my thoughts.

EDIT: Sounds like the shit's going to hit the fan. It's worth it! :trollestia:

1737494 No NO! Bad TSG, bad! *smacks with newspaper* BAD! Go back on working on Ascend. :trollestia:

1737763 Why do you hit people you love with newspapers? :fluttercry:

1737774 Same reason people does it to dogs... they did something wrong! Seriously!!!

1737494 - You could search Stalkerloo for part of an image, then find convincing Applebloom/Sweetie Belle pics to compliment it. :scootangel:

1737759 and 1737763 - Applebloom could possibly convince Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle to believe her, but anypony else wouldn't believe them, as 'who would believe a bunch of schoolyard fillies?' :applecry: Also, this side-story could lead up to an event in Ascend based after the party, like Applebloom/Sweetie Belle telling Applejack/Rarity, or Scoots trying to convince Rainbow Dash, who knows Twilight's secret, and would probaly act suspiciously at the mention of the situation, which could tell Scoots the truth. :rainbowderp:
Oh, and side-stories are usually made to tell the story in a different perspective, and can boost creativity to feed the main story, so don't hate him for attempting to activate creative sparks for the Ascend plotline. :twilightsheepish:

I'm enjoying Ascend, and this whold help expand the story, so keep going... :yay:

Apple Bloom uses Sneak Peak.
Twilight Sparkle uses Wings Show Off.
It's super effective!
Apple Bloom uses Wait, What?.
Twilight Sparkle is Panicking Around.
Apple Bloom uses Sneak Peak.
Twilight Sparkle uses Wings Show Off.
It's still super effective!

'Ah'm already listenin' in on their chat, mine as well see what their doin too.'

Isn't this accent a bit over the top here? Mine as well?

Anyhow, insta-fave and thumb up.
Keep up the good work!:twilightsmile:

continue....
(reads discript)
spin off doesn't mean second story........

This sounds like it's going to be a delightful farce. I look forward to it.

No, I'm pretty sure he's xTSGx.

the title of the story, combined with the obvious Spongebob Shout Out, made me think only of this: "Alien hunters! Alien hunters!"

I was making a joke about the person's wording that has been since edited. Basically he said "So this is what you've been instead of Ascend!":derpytongue2:

1743115
Them shameless edits!

This holds a lot of promise for being utterly humorous. This has it off to kind of a slow set-up start, but the hilarity from CMC induced headaches for Twilight seems like it would be a lot of fun! So I'll be looking forward to more from this side tale~ :pinkiehappy:

I don't know why you hate your own writing so much. This is bloody fantastic! :twilightsmile:

How is it that I didn't know this existed until today? :raritydespair:

Oh well. Will follow now that I DO now. :rainbowlaugh:

Apple Bloom's imagination quickly answered the call and put together several possible scenarios ranging from realistic ones that had Applejack yelling at her and then grounding her, to a more over the top one which involved a soccer field, forty gallons of ammonia nitrate fertilizer, twelve copper pipes, and Scootaloo's scooter.
'But it can't be that bad? Remember what Sweetie Belle said: “Licking doorknobs is illegal in other countries”—wait, that's not right! “Rarity listens in on other ponies' conversations all the time. If my big sister does it, it can't be bad!”'

I wanna know about the soccer field, forty gallons of ammonia nitrate fertilizer, twelve copper pipes, and Scootaloo's scooter.

And that SpongeBob Reference!:rainbowlaugh:

Spike is completely right of course.

“Licking doorknobs is illegal in other countries” this is true, I was once deported from fakelandistan for lick a doorknob

a brown male earth pony who was carefully looking over a pear.

You're right. In spite of them yelling "Cutie Mark Crusaders Creature Catchers!" in an episode, there is not a single picture of them with hunting gear.
I did however find these, and at least they aren't the default pic.
CMC Crusaders
CMC Explorers
CMC Adventurers
CMC Pitates
and CMC Ghostbusters
These are the best I can do while being to lazy to add new content.

When Stalkerloo hears about this Applebloom.....:twilightangry2:

Quick question: Is this story still going on? Because Ascend just made Twilight a Princess. I don't think the CMC are needed anymore.

It is still going on but truth be told, I'm far more interested in working on Ascend and it's sequel. Hence why it hasn't updated.

It's official: This fic is dead

Do you see the cancelled tag? Cause I don't. Truthfully though, I've just never really had much of a desire to work on it. Maybe one day...

2860362 The you should change the tag to "On Hiatus"

This'd be cool to see more of.

this story is a really good spinoff of Ascend, I would love to read ch2 and see how it goes. look forward to more storys you make st till than keep up the good work
