Howdy, partner!

What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses.

Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?

>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

~~~~~

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.

If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.

If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.

If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 128! Years later, and still feeling great!

"Oh, Shiny! How terrible. But it's okay, it's just a dream, everyone isn't an alicorn."

>Yeah... yeah...

"Just me and Celestia and Luna and Twilight and Applejack and Rarity and Fluttershy!"

"And look on the bright side, you never have to worry about outliving anyone! We're all going to do that instead!"

"And don't worry, I promise I'm not going to remarry... maybe have a long string of lovers in a desperate need to fill the gaping hole of love in my life you'll leave behind, desperately chasing any thrill or deviancy in order to fill it, but you're the only one I'll ever marry!"

Well, look on the positive side, at least in this universe, your kid isn't an Alicorn yet.

I mean, she almost certainly will be, and you probably did knock up your wife on that train bit, but for the moment at least.

>Lavan
"???"
'???'

>-I mean, sure, I may have collapsed a few civilizations, and yes I may have caused TWO species of sentient creatures to go extinct, but I'm not a bad person, right?

"I'm...not...suuuuure..."

>I mean, no one alive today has met a Grundle and frankly, that pleases me.

"What's...a...Gru-"

>I mean, you probably don't even know what a Grundle is. Horrible awful creatures. Made as a prank, by the way.

"-uuuundle? ...by wh-"

>See a long long long time ago, and I mean long. Millennia even, Father Bull -god of the Minotaurs- and Grogar -god of the Goats- got really really tired of Discord being...well Discord. I miss Discord, by the way. You never really know who your real friends are until you're trapped inside a meteor for eons with no contact. Shame I kept pushing him away, he always had the best jokes...by pushing him away I mean I tried to kill him. Violently. A lot. Where was I?

"-maaaade...the...Grundles? ...you...were...talking...about-"

>Oh right! So the two of them devised a plan, you see, they made the Grundles, hideous foul-smelling little rock creatures of pure order. Not a drop of chaos in them. Their job was to seek out chaos and...annoy it.

"-Grogar...and...Father...Buuuull. ...what...do...you...m-?"

>Just like I said, annoy anything to do with chaos. Mostly by singing. They figured if they made Discord mad enough, he'd beg them to get rid of the Grundles. But there was a problem with this plan, of course.

'I don't know why you're waiting for a response. Poor Tank here can barely keep up.'

>>26740677

>Exactly, small lizard, every mortal has at least a little chaos in their life. So now you have legions of little rock monsters running around singing horribly annoying songs while Discord just laughs and laughs. He had a nice laugh, it pleases me to remember it. But yes, by the time me and my siblings destroyed them, we were celebrated by the whole planet as heroes...y'know until we started trying to destroy everyone again. Nostalgia. This pleases me.

"...you...scare...me."

'Me too, Tank, but hey, he's keeping us warm while he yammers on.'

>Hm, I wonder...that pony from before was a chaos wielder! Perhaps she could put me on the trail of my old friend! Ta-ta small reptiles!

'Aw awww, come on, come back here! ...darn big guys, always gotta be going off on their weird adventures. Right, Tank?'

"...Back...to...the-"

'Heat lamp? Yyyyep, let's get a move on!'

LAST THREAD RECAP, DISCO'S IN TROUBLE EDITION!
>Canterlot ponies fucking love assembling for announcements.
>Twilight wonders the odds of Dash's plan working, Pinkie points out how unlikely all the other shit they do is.
>Lavan goes around visiting the pets. It's unknown if they can understand them, or if he's just talking.
>13 and SN, looking for Chitty, discover that at some point she left the Empire. This worries them. 13 tries to fly them both to Canterlot, but due to her being sick she can't, so they have to take a train.
>Dash thinks her plan is great, until her friends point out she needs to know Wonderbolt history to pass the trials, and she realizes she never learned any of that. She starts freaking out.
>Pennydrop claims all of this is just as planned. What wasn't planned was her and Gwen getting locked in a freezer.
>Shining Armor isn't wearing a hot pink codpiece for Cadence.
>Knowing the technique at last, Sunset is skeptical if it will actually work. Chitania assures her it will, and that it must be this spell specifically, not unicorn or chaos magic. So, Sunset has no option but to wait for her to actually figure it out.
>Or does she?
>When pressed, Chitania reveals there may be a way to have her learn it instantly, and it involves Sunset giving Chitania her prodigal skill on the matter. It's a risk, but Sunset takes it.
>41 and SP wonder if they were going to do something.
>88 decides she is going to do a job. What job? No idea!
>SA has to admit the Hyperspace update is better than the original.
>LD laments that she hasn't won... yet.
>BBB, having revealed himself, meets up with 10 and Trender, and they prepare to leave, but don't quite make it out yet.

>~Tell me, Ms Ten, was it?... Would you like to hear a story?~

>>26743465
>Antlers shows up on the scene, and asks if Ten would like to hear his story. A tale of wonder and woe, of digging yourself up from the ashes and building anew, a tale that shows that anyone can overcome the odds. Does she want to know it?
>NOPE!
>She says she sees right through him, and that he doesn't tell it like it is, more how it looks 'for the story'. He's great at weaving a tale, but not so much all the dirty bits, the bad bits and what have you.
>He admits its' true and says she's free to go, but there is so much more she hasn't seen yet, so maybe just letting Trender and the prisoners go free while she investigates is the better option.
>She says normally she wouldn't leave until every secret was found, but this time, she's not just risking herself and BBB, but them too. She won't do that. He's not pleased.
>So, instead, he tries to kill everyone with robots and lasers.
>The battle is on! BBB VS Four more advanced models, back and forth and tearing each other apart.
>In the end, thanks to some lucky and a well timed moment playing dead, BBB wins, and the others are destroyed.
>After blowing up yet another trap of landmines, again after Antlers claimed there was nothing there, she and Trender flee with the other prisoners, free at last!
>But it seems Antlers, even if he didn't get everything he wanted, got something out of this...
>Lucky at last gives his report to AJ, who forces him to take some times off. She laments her shock that something so horrible was right under her nose the whole time, and remembers her talk with Sweet Note...
>Speaking of, Sweet Note attempts to make small talk with 13. It does not work.
>Trixie is grousing that she's not famous in front of 29's fridge.

>Later, they manage to find a train and get on it, only to discover it has another passenger who slept too long, again.
>Cheese is not happy.
>SA, Cadence and 18 have their date!... By locking themselves in the castle and barricading the doors. Things go awry when they have to use the bathroom.
>29, in the middle of a talk with the mayor, is suddenly tackled out of his office!
>The culprit is none other than 56, who was worried about him and thinking he was dead.
>The two have a heart to heart about things that had gone unsaid, and 56 says he at last understands just how much 29 has done for him. 29, in turn, says he'll always be there for him, whenever he needs it.
>29 is going to have to pay for that wall, though.
>After showing her how to do the mindlink, Chitania asks if Sunset is ready. She is hesitant at first, but eventually resolves that she has to do this if she wants to be normal again. Even knowing that things might go wrong, that Chitania might get more than just how to do that technique, she risks it all.
>Spitfire learns of Dash's challenge, and feels like she's taunting her with the prospect of having her old team back. This makes her angry.
>Pinkie is good at massages and might be a neurosurgeon.
>2 wants to know why AJ never visits them, and SA has to make up an excuse not involving Chrysalis.
>So, instead, she visits AJ, and long story short, makes a hotel out of cushions. Because why not.

'Finally, I was wondering when you guys would get back to little old me.'

'Isn't it odd that the more Princesses you add, the less seems to get done? I guess it's that the wait for cakes gets longer.'

'Oh really? I always fancied Palamino Bros. Pizza myself, lovely pepperoni, they actually make it from peppers, cute pun, huh?'

>Very.

"Uhm, Princess, aren't we here to interrogate him?"

'It's called establishing rapport, thank you. Ugh, where'd you dig this guy up from, huh? Did you make a mannequin come to life and think it was a guard?'

'Oh, so he reeeeally sucks at it, then. Those dickheads couldn't guard a room full of cake. Literally. It was a disgrace!'

>The sooner he sees I'm not fazed by it, the sooner he'll get to the point.

'True, but I still got some chuckles to wring out of Joneigh here. How's it feel knowing you sucked so bad at being a hero, you made your best friend go crazy and become a villain?'

'Ooh, lovely. Well you have a nice day too. When you're ready to give up on this farce, you know where to find me!'

If any thought it odd to see a massive box with two tiny purple legs skittering underneath it, the castle staff was so far past caring it no longer even registered.

>Alright... oils, cider cake and candles, I'm all set! Don't worry, Applejack, loverboy is going to make it all better-

"Oh come on!"

>...

Slowly, he set the box down. He looked left, he looked right, but he couldn't see where the all too familiar voice had shouted from.

>...and then maybe... maybe I'll get her some cider-

"Really!?"

He spun around, but nothing.

>...And maybe get her some apples-

"For fucks sake!"

>AH HAH-WAH!

He spun around again, just a bit too quickly this time, and ended up face first on the ground.

>...Nobody saw that, right?

"I did!"

A hoof stamped down on his tail, jerking him back onto both solid legs with a spring.

His claws groped behind his head a bit, grabbing onto something he found was very thin, and very, very tall.

Very tall and full of holes.

>...Please be Chitania.

"It's not."

>Damn.

"Wow, that's insulting."

The look he gave the only other living changeling Queen could have flattened steel if only it had the power.

>Us, insulting each other? Noooo.

"Pfft, even when I wouldn't save you if you were drowning, I didn't bring out my best stuff.

>Oh I'm sure, I totally believe you, look at all the belief on my-WAH!

Her hoof jerked up, and face down he went.

"...Huh."

Hoof go down, drake come up.

Hoof go up, drake go down.

"Hee hee."

>CUT IT OUT!

If he hadn't scampered away, it's doubtful she ever would have.

>What do you want, Chrysalis!?

"...Oh! Right, damn you get me distracted all the time... yeah, what the fuck are you doing?"

Pointedly, she gestured to all the boxes.

>Not that it's any of your business, but after reality decided to run a train on my Applebutt, I figured, you know, do something to make her feel not so terrible! I know, weird concept for you.

1/2
>>
>>26745150

"...Okay, do you know what 'run a train on someone' means? Interesting mental image for you to bring up."

His eyes darted back and forth, but he scoffed all the same.

>Pffft, of course I do. I bet you don't, though.

"Oh... huh, didn't think you had that kind of relationship, but good for you?"

>Thanks! And I mean that, I'm not sarcastic, because I know what that means.

"Right... anyway, Lizardo? Need to talk about the box with the stuff, it's-"

>Look, I know it's hard to wrap your head around, but this is a relationship. A RELATIONSHIP. I'm sure this looks weird to you, considering nobody would ever do the same, but this is what we do, okay? She feels bad, so I've got to roll in and do all this and make it better. Okay? This gotten through your head? I know, you aren't in a relationship, so you don't get it, but just try to trust me on this one. Got it?

He didn't know what he expected, but the single raised eyebrow probably was close enough.

>Good, now if you don't mind...

With that, he picked up his boxes, huffed, and started to walk away. She waited, unmoving but watching, until he disappeared around the corner.

"...Huh. I actually feel sorry for the poor guy. That's a weird feeling. Then again... maybe he's right."

Rather than walk, she decided to teleport away. She so loved conjuring the flames all around her.

"Maybe Applejack just prefers the same old same old, who knows? It's her life, I suppose..."

A long, wicked smile crept along her lips as the flame rose higher.

"If nothing else, I guess... you called it, Shiny."

With a flippant, yet amused scoff, she was gone.

"I guess I owe you a cake after all."
>>
>>26745212
>"Maybe Applejack just prefers the same old same old, who knows? It's her life, I suppose..."

...Huh. They do mostly do the same stuff, don't they?

SA and Cadence go on dates to weird locations, cuddle in bed, go on vacations together, watch movies, eat together, play OnO together, talk about their problems and fears, and generally just have a nice time in each other's company.

SA and Celestia/Chrysalis are that minus the date thing, but plus going out on wild adventures where they get into kooky situations like snowboarding down a mountain with their hooves tied behind their back. They trust each other and lean on each other when they have problems.

SA and 18 do that, minus the whacky antics, plus the date thing, plus share responsibilities and look out for each other, and are pretty openly affectionate.

Him and Cadence/42, despite her attempts to close off from them so that it stays impersonal, are somehow more deeply connected than most, simply from her undying loyalty and the open admission of how she feels about both of them, and her dedication to put them above herself.

Spike/Aj has mostly superficial stuff, with the exception of the date 100 threads ago(Literally)

Damn it, do some sweet and cuddly things you two! The fucking socially awkward punchlover should not be schooling you both on this one!
>>
>>26745346
It's been said before, but the Aj/Spike thing is all about being chill. No relationship drama, no crazy shit happening, just two folks who like being with each other.

Admittedly, not very exciting, but that's the draw. If they went crazier, it wouldn't be what made it unique.

>Job? What kind of job are you after-wait, you can SEE now!?

"Yeah, I can, yadda yadda, thank the big ball of fire. What do I gotta sign to be a private investigator?"

>A what?

"A private investigator? Private eye? Person who solves mysteries for people?"

>Why the heck do you wanna be one of those? Seems kind of out of nowhere...

"Look, it's a long story but I need to make good memories, good memories come from helping people, and I can help tons if I become a P.I. Also? Detectives are awesome."

'She has a point, Spike!'

"See? Marshmallow lady's got my back, air-hoof, your majesty!"

'Woo!'

>Uh...sure, I'll see what I can dig up for you to sign, but can it wait? Kind of in the middle of something here.

"Oh yeah, yeah."

Still in the running because it hasn't been knocked down. Which means, essentially, the option is there and it wouldn't be contradictory to a previous story. All that matters is if someone puts in the effort to actually make it happen.

Cause that's all that matters, if someone actually wants to see it enough they put words to screen. If not, eh, no big deal.

>>26746342
>if anything we wrote him too well

I fear the opposite. We stripped down all his childlike innocence and fun in order to make him more 'badass' and 'cool', and then we tried to make him a player who has all the ladies coming after him while failing to define his relationship with any of them, when that fell through and the ones we tried attaching to him got their own stories and character, he came up a little short.

We took away too much and shoved in too little. He was less of a character than he was on the show, and I fear that is probably what killed his momentum when the action scenes ended.

"Chitania"
~~~

Chaos.

That word kept ringing in Sunsets head, screaming and wailing the wind in a hurricane. That singular word and the magic it held was stronger than any spell she could ever have cast, it had nothing to do with the unstoppable properties of the mystical power in question. As with all things, knowledge was the true power, understanding was the real might.

Understood, she did.

It all made so much sense now, the pony would forever think herself a fool for not seeing it the moment it had happened. That it had taken her this long, that it had taken the words of one so very far beneath her own supposed intellect to bring it to light was a shame, and not one she was not sure she would ever be able to forgive herself for.

With her words, it all made sense.

>There's... there's chaos in me.

"Did your really not know that?"

If the words were mocking, or sincere, Sunset would never know. The ringing in her ears were so loud she could just barely make it out, let alone discern the tone of said words. All she could think about was that day, that horrid day, where it had all gone wrong. All she could think about was the pain, the sight of her life seeping out of her, the thoughts she would die there, alone, forgotten. All she could think about was that moment.

Now, she knew why it had come to be.

>...I'll...

She knew who had brought it to be.

>I'll... get him.

She knew why her experiment had gone so terribly awry, why it had taken everything from her at a moment's notice. She knew, at last, who had killed her.

>I'll get him for this...

And who to return the favor to.

>I'll get him... I'LL GET HIM FOR THIS-

"Be silent."

A hoof as big as her chest effortlessly forced her down, pinning her to the bed once more. She struggled and wiggled, but it would not let her up.

>HEY!

"You were going to rant, I have no time for this."

No time.

There was no time. She was right.

1/5
>>
>>26747131

She had waited so long, given up so much just so she didn't have to wait a second longer, lost so much in the pursuit, time was no longer an option. Time was her enemy. There was no time.

>Y-yeah... yeah..

She relaxed, as best she could with the turbulent roar in her mind, put the screeching thoughts to rest as best she could, for the moment. There was no time for that, no time to dwell on the being of chaos, no time to ponder just how she was going to strip him down of everything he ever held dear until he was nothing but a dried up husk to remain. No time for that, not yet.

That day would come. She would relish it, when she had the time. But there was no time for that. Now was the time to live.

>...How did you know?

The lack of struggling seemed to be all the Queen needed, to content her enough to let her go.

"I didn't, until just before I made my offer. To be frank, I had no idea how to fix you, before that. However, when I learned of the chaos... it became easier."

That cylinder, the object that had started off this shocking revelation, was held up as if to be put on display.

"This little beauty reacted, it all became clear."

The cylinder opened, the metal door sliding out with a hiss of pressurized air. Its contents, barely visible, emerged.

A single, almost ethereal, strand of pink hair.

>How did you get that?

"Your friend never told you? You were in the room when I ordered the procedure."

The tone of her voice spoke of amusement, the twinkle in her eye of curiosity. Sunset didn't know which to believe.

>No... she didn't. She never told me what you wanted done, or what happened.

"Ah... well, I suppose it doesn't matter."

Delicately, with all the grace of a surgeon, she wrapped the hair around a long, thin piece of metal, until it was tied so tightly as to not fall free.

"What matters now is your life, yes?"

Her heart fluttered as only a rock could at the words, and their truth.

>You're going to take all the chaos out, right?

Otherwise, the chaos will undo all of my work mid transformation. Too much left in, and it will snap back without all the power needed to function, and you will die. Too little and it will unravel, and you will die. I will have to be very... delicate about this."

It wasn't encouraging, if anything the thought of the Titan doing something delicate conjured up more images of humor than it did capability, but it was too late. She couldn't turn back now. She was too close, she had lost too much, if she gave up now, she would never go back.

It was worth the risk.

"This procedure will take some time, I should warn you. It will take a great deal of magic, some skill, and some techniques I did not show you, but have no fear, I am at least skilled with them enough to assure all should go as planned. But for you... it will take only a second."

Her ebony horn sparked, no doubt a spell meant to knock her out so that she would not fight back or involuntarily jerk.

"I am about to put you under, so I will ask one more time. Do you want me to go through with this?"

>Yes.

There hadn't been any hesitation, not for a moment.

"Then... sleep-"

>WAIT!

A thought had seized her, just as suddenly as she herself had seized the now very shocked, and even more annoyed, changeling. Her eyes were every bit as wide as the Queen's were narrowed, and their emotions every bit as opposite as that.

"Of all the fucking time to-"

>N-no! No, not that, I still want you to go through with it. It's just...

"Just what?"

The Queen huffed, shaking her hoof loose from the terrible grip. So wound up, she was ready to punch.

>... t-tell them, please.

All of the power that had been building up for that punch faded away, by nothing but a whisper.

"What?"

>...I know this will look bad for you if... if something goes wrong.

A shudder wracked the pony's body, her mouth would have gone dry had that not been it's default state at this point.

>I know you would have ever reason... probably should hide it, if something just doesn't... work. You could get away with it, nobody saw me come in, nobody knows I'm here, nobody would know, and if you were found you'd be blamed, but...

Had tears been able to fall, she feared they would never stop pouring.

>...I don't want to die forgotten again.

She all but wretched at the thought, the memory fate had not been merciful enough to take from her with the others.

>I don't want to know I might die in some room, without anybody there who cares, and... and nobody would ever know, until my body got found sometime later. That I would just be... gone, and I don't even know when they would come looking... if they would come look at all.

Desperate, begging, pleading eyes met the Queen's wide and shocked ones, holding to her as tightly as her hoof did the Titanic chitin.

>If it goes wrong, just... promise me you'll tell them, so they'll know. Just so they don't wonder what... what happened to me. Just so they don't have to wait for me to come back... when I won't.

Sunset could never see it, but something stirred in the mind of the Titan Queen. A memory, much like how the pony saw her own, played out before her just as it had many times before.

A memory of a time when there were not so many in this world who knew her name. Of a time when those that did know her rarely had the word monster upon their tongue when they spoke of her, and when it was it was often well met. A time she remembered, she cherished despite the headache and heartache, a time she had lost.

She found herself wondering what had gone through the minds of her peers, when that time was taken from her in the depths of ice.

4/5
>>
>>26747169

What had they thought, when they called, when they searched, and there was no sign of the one they so relied upon. What terrible thoughts of abandonment and spite had been in their hearts when they felt alone. What regrets did they have, of things left unsaid that could never be spoken.

She did not have to think long.

They had been the same thoughts that she herself had that faithful day, as she battled for her life in the valley of monsters. They had been the same words she desperately wished to say, to the one she was sure was gone forever, even if the simple closure of a cold and still body would never come.

She had thought about the things unsaid every day after that, until she had found peace with it. She would never know if the other Queens had done the same, only that all save one died without any knowledge of what had become of her, or even why she had gone away.

She would not lie to herself, the thought of abandoning the body in a ditch if this all went south had come to her, she had considered it, deeply. So few questions to answer, so little vengeance from misguided and oblivious souls to defeat, so much easier in whole.

"...Very well. But do not worry... that will not happen."

The Queen supposed she had never been one for the easy way.

>Thank you... thank you...

The sleep spell was conjured once more, and Sunset felt it sink into her as gently as a mother's touch. She felt reality, consciousness and time all leave her, as the world devoid dreams came to claim her once more.

She had given up so much, risked so much, done so many terrible things to get to this point. Things she could never take back, or undo. She had lost so many thing.

Yet, as the spell took hold, as the darkness became all consuming, for the very first time since she had gone through that mirror, she felt at peace, protected, and cared for.

For the first time since the day she had died.

Sunset Shimmer fell asleep with a smile...

And dreamed of a better tomorrow.

Considering Sunset is literally suspended in a not-dead state by magic, and she's delicately using magic, if she slips up it's insta-death. She literally will not even bleed out.

We've talked endlessly how we coddled AJ, kept her mistakes from biting her in the ass and making other characters get hurt from the same issues.

And then we realised that this stunted her character dramatically compared to everyone else who became far more nuanced and developed characters for them.

Yeah yeah, you're tired of moping and shit but fuck man we've got something for her to grow on here, we can't squander that

I can write Spike just fine too. It's just that I've stopped writing canon stories so he's sort of dropped. I've considered writing him doing random missions and solving crimes for AJ with Rarity being mission control, but I never get around to it.

Hey, once more unto the breach. Maybe keep the 'feel like shit' part to a reasonable twenty stories instead of an entire thread like in the past. Hyperbole, maybe, but it feels like it when stories head that way.

My way would most assuredly piss off everyone looking to see a lengthy angsty/emotional reconcile/heartfelt moment between AJxSunset, which would be about 98% of us, as I'd go right for the 'funny reconcile'.

>>26747806
>which would be about 98% of us, as I'd go right for the 'funny reconcile'.

Maybe not that far, but I can see them actually connecting after this.

Big question is will AJ go easier on Chitty when she learns what happened.
>>
>>26749848
What reason does AJ have to be upset at Chitty again?
>>
>>26749875
...She's a horrible person who shows zero remorse for all the terrible shit she did, constantly boasts how she could easily crush everyone, almost walked away and let Canterlot be consumed by the apocalypse after she got what she wanted just because she was no longer in danger, made it very clear she has no qualms with crushing Canterlot again if they cross her, and is just generally very self centered and unpleasant to deal with?

She's not a monster, but she's hardly someone it would be realistic that most would want to hang out with.
>>
>>26749848
I don't see why she would. She knows that she's getting something out of this, it's not because she's turned over a new Leaf or is trying to be better. Now, gave she had implied it was just because she could do it, or that even if Sunset couldn't deliver she would have done it anyway, AJ would have invited her over for apple fritters.

Context is important

Goodnight, thread.

>>26750938
Night, anon.
>>
>>26749915
While that might true, honestly? I think this might also be something that either causes AJ to hug Chitty outright, or at least give her some heartfelt thanks. Sunset's condition was a big thing and AJ's rounded enough to look past initial dislike to the good deed done here regardless of an ulterior motive.
>>
>>26751744
Sunset is, was and continues to be one huge fuck up. Her parents are dead, her position as Celestia's student gone, her life taken, her accomplishments and good intentions stopped because she lives in a care bear society where everyone prefers to hug the problems away, and now her magic and memories partially gone. How will she feel, when she realizes she can't recall her mother anymore or doesn't know what her human friends were like?

There's nothing she can do right. Whatever she tries goes wrong. I am surprised she hadn't snapped or gone into depression yet.

So... She shows no remorse for being rudely awoken from her "imprisonment", and not realizing she was asleep for quite awhile and zeroing on the a familiar(See:Similar) changeling signature that belongs to the queen who put her there in the first place. Rampaging in a quest for revenge that was mostly justified and not really caring about what she messed up because we are all rational and caring people when were on a quest of vengeance. Stating hard fact that she could do those things and almost walking away from a city she has no attachment too by something that wasn't really her problem to deal with. (See:No reasons for living or doing shit at the moment after getting sorta revenge.)

Made it clear that if the people who fucked with her fucked with her again, she wouldn't hesitate to smack their shit for messing with her. And generally being a queen, royalty here, or an ancient race that's been around the block more than once. And being surly because every plan she ever had in her life went to shit and all those she knew and loved are either dead or don't want anything to do with her?

Yeah I can't see why she's unpleasant at all. What a bitch.

>>26751967
Yup, changelings are the black people in this series. Used-to-be's and endearing fuck-ups. Just look at Chrysalis.
>>
>>26751967
No. She's justified in that she was "angry for reasons", that she was so "caught up in her desire for righteous(her point of view) vengeance" that she caused a shit ton of damage and almost killed the masses.

Those are the points you brought up so I can't go any further into details with anything else.

And she's self centered because she's a Queen. A strong Queen, capable of having anything she want with a literal stamp of her hoovies, who was then alone on the world. Cause she didn't want to have anything to do with Chrissy and her lings.

If you are going to argue with me, counter everything I bring up to counter you and focus on a point that actually has merit instead of

~WE WUZ QUEENZ OMGERD I DIN DUN NUFFUN!~

I swear to got we go through this song and dance all the damn time.

Whatever, those are still the points that the guy focused on when he commented to me. Not my fault I can't tell those ling haters apart. They're all the same bigots to me. Always looking from only one side of the room instead of both.
>>
>>26751874
>Rampaging in a quest for revenge that was mostly justified and not really caring about what she messed up because we are all rational and caring people when were on a quest of vengean

Not being rational during the rampage make sense, actively mocking everybody after it is all done just shows you never cared about the vacuum stepped on people. If you want to argue there's no reason for her to care about the cities she made no attempt to go around while she was in her Vengeance mode, fair enough, but that door swings both ways and now there is no reason for them to feel her actions are Justified.

>Stating hard fact that she could do those things

And getting the response she expected, the only response she could have gotten out of that, fear. If that's what she's going for, and what else could she be trying to get reaction wise, what other response would she get but distrust and worried?

>And generally being a queen, royalty here, or an ancient race that's been around the block more than once.

This also swings both ways as AJ is just being a princess in response to her actions.

>Yeah I can't see why she's unpleasant at all. W
Nothing you have listed would actually forgive her for doing those things column for destroying the cities that had nothing to do with herself or her Vengeance and the lack of remorse or regret caused by them, or for that matter the constant threats she gives out give the result that she looking for, everyone is more conscious of her and think she's terrible. Like I said in the original post, this doesn't mean she's an unfeeling monster, not at all. If anything she's just... a person you don't want to hang around. That's it. She did some terrible things, but at the moment she's not worth fighting or hunting down or bringing the justice. That doesn't mean you have to like her, just not attack her and make reparations if somebody actually did. She's not here, she's just a bitch
>>
>>26752032
>And she's self centered because she's a Queen. A strong Queen, capable of having anything she want with a literal stamp of her hoovies, who was then alone on the world

Well then if we wrren't making her to be some Vegeta-stand in or whatever the fuck, she'd be much better off for everyone if she was dead
>>
>>26752388
>actively mocking everybody after it is all done just shows you never cared about the vacuum stepped on people

Why feel remorse when you actually don't care.

They shouldn't, but if they are to be the "bigger ponies" they will anyway. If they don't well Chitty had it coming I have no quarrel with that.

>And getting the response she expected, the only response she could have gotten out of that, fear. What other response would she get but distrust and worried?

And rightly so, She was a Monster Movie level... well, MONSTER! She was meant to be like that and should act like one. Respect through Fear. Prime example, you don't have to like Mother Nature to know you damn well better respect her ferocity cause she flings around tornado and earthquakes and shit. Don't poke a literal giant unless you want it to squish you.

>This also swings both ways as AJ is just being a princess in response to her actions.

Damn right she should, but she doesn't have all the knowlegde and experiance needed to deal with it as Royalty agaisnt royalty. She's doing what she feels is right, not what is right.

>Nothing you have listed would actually forgive her

Nope, it doesn't but it explains why shes unpleasant to be around. She's been in a mood for a loooooong time and nothing is changing it.

>lack of remorse or regret caused by them, or for that matter the constant threats she gives out give the result that she looking for, everyone is more conscious of her and think she's terrible.

She didn't/doesn't care, and she want everyone to leave her be and stay out of her way. What she's doing might just put her in a better state of things but does anyone realize that no.

>Like I said in the original post, this doesn't mean she's an unfeeling monster, not at all. If anything she's just... a person you don't want to hang around.

And that's RIGHT! She's not unfeeling, but she just doesn't care for them in the slightest. And she has no desire to change that!

Can't pull that card on me, I wanted her dead. What, don't look at me like that. I love her to bits, but I wanted to off her too! But nooooooooooooooooooooooo, we don't kill badguys on /pa/. Everything that she is now and all the shit you have to put up with is because YOU guys let her live. I wanted her dead. I am in no way responsible for that or her being the way she is. You made her that way, you dug the grave now lie in it.

It's your fault, Celestia's. Not mine. The only reason I ever defend the lings, or anyone else is because everyone focuses on one perceptive of the story, the "good" side. And I can understand that, we're a good guy thread, not a evil thread. But someone need to keep you guys in check, because there is always two sides to the story, even if it hasn't been written yet.

If you didn't just focus your sights on one person without taking their side of things for consideration I wouldn't open my mouth.

The singular tree atop a hill was all too a familiar place to him. It was here that he had first shown through to Zecora what it was he could see. It was here that he had first found the depths of his new power.

And it was here that he could get away from everyone when they finally broke though his endless, saint like patience and made him start to think about complaining, though he was too modest to ever do so, clearly.

>...You know, I really should just relax more often. With mine cousin driving my soul to the depths of chaos, it is important to remember that sometimes, a bit of peace is all... you... need-

Boom.

>Oh for the love of sugarplumbs.

"MINE STUDENT!"

Her "Royal Canterlot Voice" nearly blew out his ears, and her landing shockwave sought to do the same to his body.

>...Teacher.

"Hello, student! Did thee have fun?"

He honestly could not tell if she was screwing with him, again.

"Yes? Well, we had a marvelous time! We sampled many a cake!"

"Oh, so silent? Well, I suppose thine own trip was boring. No matter! We resume our studies... right now! DODGE!"

Right into his chest, with all the care of a drunk bull in a china shop.

Now, Sunset, that's not fair. Just cause his life isn't THAT BAD doesn't mean he can't be annoyed when a crazy mare makes a point of ignoring all the good he did and shoots him.

>>
>Chitania
~~~~

>Damn it.

It said something about her mindset that she was annoyed she couldn't snap open a ribcage, and instead had to work in a way that did the least damage to the one she was trying to heal.

It also said something about her that her mind was struggling harder and harder to remain in that moment.

Focusing was proving increasingly difficult for the Titan Queen, the more time went on. The longer the delicate procedure dragged, the more abilities she called upon. The more she did that, the more she remembered them. Those horrible, annoying, selfish, annoying monsters... that she missed.

It started when she used Saturnia's ability. A unique, normally quite useless one that let her see a wavelegnth that, up until now, was so rare it she had never even known if it was working. Useless, on any other day, but just this once, it let her see something that was beyond the sight of mortals.

The plaid, garish coloring of chaos magic.

It was that, and a stillness of her hoof trained to hold a violin in a grip that could otherwise shatter a diamond, that let her ease the singular thread close enough to drain the magic with a precision that allowed no error, or waver. A slip up, however minor, and there would be no fixing it in time.

Such made it all the more difficult when she remembered the day said lunatic nearly got herself discovered, and it was only the timely intervention of the worlds most bizarre looking dragon that had prevented it. The whiff of nostalgia overpowered her, the smell of smoke still in her nose, before she tore the memory away, and refocused.

The next step came from the ability that had been so vital to all of this. The skill of Necrophorus, to change the very nature of stone as she herself changed the nature of her skin, was vital. Without it, none of this would be possible.

She would be appreciative, if she could just focus.

1/4
>>
>>26755712

Again, her mind started to drift. Strangely, not to the Queen for whom this technique was famous, her legacy, but instead to the one who had taught how to do the original power, before Necrophorus had perfected it. Back in that day, the power had been little more than the ability to turn extremely specific stones into dust. Back in that day, the Queen who would one day lose herself to this power was but a small, happy little grub, living under the almost witheringly close gaze of her mother, Vespilla. Such an overprotective Queen, so much so she never forced her child to exert herself even the most minuscule if it could be avoided. Calling her, the Titan of all beings, to do such simple tasks as carrying her over a particularly high hill.

It was almost enough to make her laugh when she remembered how Vespilla would ask her to be "Little Neccy's" other mother just so she had another one. To this day, she had no idea what she meant. To this day, she found it almost funny, considering what would come later with her own daughter.

All these thoughts and more remained with her, as she began what would be one of the hardest parts of her entire procedure.

>Easy now...

Even though she could not see it, she had to be as precise as threading a needle that was spinning on a top. She had to create, with memory alone, what she had seen in the books, and models.

For despite what many may think, Chitania was no stranger to the heart. The real one, at least. She had studied it so extensively in her time she could recall the angle of every ventricle, know just how thick and consistent it was supposed to be, know how many times it was supposed to beat per second, how long it took to circulate blood and how much blood there needed to be.

She knew the heart, her true weakness.

2/4
>>
>>26755719

The one thing that prevented her from reaching all the way to the stars, and plucking them from the sky. She had studied for years on it, trying to find any way to circumvent that restriction that had nearly cost her life on the day she learned to harness Titan magic. She had come close, but not quite reached it, like so many other things in her life.

>Easy now...

For who else could create with magic the perfect facsimile of a heart, from a rock. A facsimile that, more importantly, did not run off of unicorn magic.

Changeling magic would be needed, for what came next.

>Alright... here we go...

Before she continued, she would have to weave a spell into the new form. A magic would have to be created, and made to work involuntary. If she did it right, Sunset would never have to think of this, just as no other had to think of their own heart. If she did it wrong...

>Heh... guess you were wrong, Annelida

She had so hated this ability, thought herself cheated that her mother could only provide her this at her ascension. A bit of a brat, to be sure, but she understood.

On any other day, the ability to grow ever so slightly, about an inch, was as useless as could be. On any other day, Annelida's grousing was very much right. The only exception... was if an inch was exactly what she needed.

All she needed to make it work was a bit of changeling magic to be there, and it would go off all on it's own, as many times as she needed it to. Be it a single time, or forever.

Annelida had been one who got into trouble almost every other week, sometimes she could swear the other Queen did it just so she could talk to her, by far one of the most annoying ones.

She still wished she could hear that whining voice again.

>There's that... now...

The hardest part was yet to come. For next, she had to prepare her spell long before it would be used, for everything would have to sync up exactly right, go off perfectly, in order for this to work.

3/4
>>
>>26755727

The ability to move one's skin, rearrange it to another area, was one she had thought the most useless thing in the world before today. The idea of moving her skin cells around was frankly a moronic one to her, considering her Titan Form meant trying it would cause her to pop like needle had hit a balloon. That Locustana had been so insistent she learn it was the only reason she had even given it the time of day. If only to see her smile when someone like her actually thought it was worth learning. She had resented that day.

How ironic, that it would be so needed. The Queen had been right, in the end.

It was a shame she would never know it.

>Alright...

A bit of magic, and a deep breath through her nostrils for the next part. Culicidae, the little bloodsucker, had taught her this one. A deep breath and she could confirm, the blood was still viable.

It had remained suspended, kept alive much like the pony's mind was by the changeling magic. Good. That meant all would go as planned. Perhaps it would be easier with Culicidae's trademark proboscis, but that was one thing she had managed to dissuade her from trying to teach.

Did not stop the other Queen from implying she wished to use it on her, but she never understood that one.

>Alright...

It was all in place.

The chaos magic, reduced.

The stone, in a shape and place as it should be.

The techniques, laced and waiting.

All the magic she needed, at the ready.

She was going to have to bring them all together, in such a precise order, there could be no mistakes. All the powers of the Queens long past were going to have to come together, and in a stark contrast to their wielders, for once they would have to work as one, as a team. None could fail, and all would have to support the other.

How ironic.

>Deep breath...

It was now or never, all or nothing. It was time, at last, to bring the pony back into th world of the living.

>Here... we... go.

...Something went wrong.

>Well, Fuck.

>OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP!

If she had been as studious with gymnastics as she was her books, the prodigal pony would be kicking herself as hard as she could.

>STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!

A mere two minutes ago, she had been innocently eating a daisy sandwich, going over various training schedules with her friend Rainbow Dash, managing to slip in some chatter with Pinkie and Rarity all the while.

If she'd had the mind of it, she would probably wonder what they thought when she had suddenly gone still, her mouth dropping open enough to roll out half-eaten food, and then she had torn off at such a speed Dash would have done well to take notes, all while screaming at such volume that Luna herself would think her a blowhard.

>HOW DID I FORGET THAT HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID HOW I'M WORST PONY!

They had no way of knowing it, but a stray thought had crossed her mind in that inopportune time. A stray thought that, much like a lit match over a pit of oil, quickly caught fire and burned down all other thoughts with it.

A thought about a certain, very special... orb.

>STUPID PONY STUPID PONY STUPID PONY!

She had only now, of all times, remembered that she'd cracked the code, made a device that should be able to peer into it's madness, and that before the whole world had caught fire thanks to Rarity's stunning reveal, she had been on her way to talk with the changeling queen herself. In all the chaos, in all the running from her problems, she had honestly forgotten. How she had forgotten, she herself best summed it up.

>YOU'RE STUPID YOU'RE STUPID YOU'RE STUPID!

It was with reckless abandon, a complete lack of regard for herself or any other in her way, that she slammed the door to her lab open, and started up her computer.

There was only one way to put out a fire that raged as hot as the one in her mind.

A sweeping cold so powerful, it would have chilled the sun.

>...ohhhhh no...

Even though the truth was plastered as plain as could be, even though the answer was literally staring her right in the face, even though it made no sense to and there was no reason to think otherwise, she didn't accept it right away. She tried to deny it at first, to think of any possible other answer it could be, considered for far longer than she should that it was a glitch, an error, a mistake.

>Oh... oh no. No no no... no you did not.

When she stopped fighting it, she conceded that, indeed, a mistake had been made alright.

>You little...

The indicator before her had done the impossible two fold. First, it made her forget the screaming thought that had been her whole world a second ago. Second, and more important... it made her feel like an even bigger idiot than she had before.

When the ice came to her throat, she could not hold it in anymore.

He's just creating a shield around water, so they're gonna drown either way

Not like they're complaining, but still...

I'd say bring a Thermos, but their airways/oesophagus is already occupied...

That's legitimately an unsettling possibility, that is literally his worst case scenario. Could you imagine? He's spent this whole time trying to be immortal just so he can spend time with the one you love most of all, and in the end gets flipped on you so now you are the one who's all alone. That is... Creepy

"Well, I technically used to own a flying amusement park... used to."

>What happened to it?

"Oh, it got consumed by chaos magic and nearly plummeted to the ground. It would later turn out a dinosaur changeling caught it, never really looked into that."

>So what happened?

"...it got shut down, obviously."

>Why?

"Be... because everyone almost died."

>So? That doesn't mean it would happen twice.

"What kind of idiot reopens a park that almost killed everyone with monsters? That kind of park sounds frightening in the dark! Oh noooo!"

'I suddenly want to buy his songs and I don't know why.'

>Quiet you!

"But seriously, we'd get sued, probably. In hindsight, flying a giant mass was just asking for it to collapse and kill everyone."

"Oh God! Please no, I just wanted to be on TV!"

>Don't worry, I'll make you feel dead gorgeous.

"Nonononono, this isn't fair!"

>Awww, didn't you know? Fairness is a dying practice!

"Why... why are you DOING THIS?!"

>Mmmh, well, I knew you were cast as a background pony, but a pony of your caliber just can't live like this, right?

*PFHWIT!*

"..."

"...hi, Pinkie."

>Hello Changeling whom I can't recall. What was your purpose again?

"Standing on Canterlot mountain. Keeping Watch."

"Is it time to go now? I am... tired. So tired."

>Noperino, not while your suffering is greater this way!

"Figur-"

*PFHWIT!*

"AAAAH! HOLY HIVEMIND, MY LEG! WHY?!"

Pinkie leans close. There was no mercy in her eyes, only fire and carnage.

>Stay the fudgecake up there and never come down, or the next one will go where Celestia's sun don't shine. Got it?

"*whimper*"

Pinkie pops back up, all smiles.

>And that's all time we have for now! Tune in next week, where the motto will be 'Fuck gryphons... WITH CHAINSAWS!"

In true Pinkie fashion, all I hear with that is a little toy beep and whistle. You know those stock sounds that come with a blaster you get at a dollar store? That's all I hear.

And in true Pinkie fashion, it doesn't actually do anything, everyone is just pretending to make her feel better.

>Sunset
~~~~~

This probably wasn't good.

>Crap.

White, all she could see everywhere was nothing but white. An endless void that was somehow still full, a nothingness that was bursting with substance. She would have written it off as a mere dream, nothing to be worried about, if one second, it had been nothing but inky blackness, and quiet.

Moving from that into what seemed something much more was nowhere near as comforting as one would imagine it would be.

>Am I dead? Did I just... die?

Her rational mind tried to tell her that such a thing wasn't a leap of logic, that the evidence didn't substantiate something like this, but the much louder, very much irrational part of her brain screamed in fear, and in worry.

It hit her, as she floated in that endless something, that she still couldn't feel anything in her body.

>There, see? You're being stupid. You're still...

She would have found it funny, had it happened to anyone else. That she had been about to say 'alive' was as cruel as it was humorous.

>You're still...

Bitterly, her hoof rubbed over her fur, scratching up in down in a desperate attempt to make so much as a single nerve flair in pain or irritation. Instead, it was like she was rubbing a prosthetic, a fake limb where that one should be. She knew it was real, her body knew that some part of her was being touched, but she couldn't actually feel the sensation. It was as if she had been replaced by a machine body, and none had the heart to tell her.

Even with the new information, she strangely could not shake the niggling thought that maybe, even still, she was dead. After all, her body was locked in a state something near to this anyway, it could very well be that all this time, she had finally found the answer.

What is it like, when a pony dies?

To her horror, she realized it might be something like this.

>...Why'd you have to be so stupid.

There was no question in it, only accusation.

>Why'd you have to be so... so fucking stupid.

1/9
>>
>>26764638
He's an avid ling hater too man.
>>
>>26764871

Her hoof rubbed faster and faster, digging in deep in a vain attempt to scrape off the horrible, alien body that she had found herself in, to rip it off as a caterpillar would a cocoon, so she could emerge and feel real once again.

>Why'd you have to try something so stupid. You... you just had to try to prove you were useful. Just had to try to do something like that, didn't you? Oh yeah, they really needed you of all ponies to look out for them. You had to be the big protector, didn't you? Actually thought that... that they would want you around.

Just as it had every other time she had woken in the night, feeling like she had been replaced and her body twisted as she slept, the skin held on. It would not tear away, held by the magic she had attempted to twist to her own uses. The abominable changeling, and she now knew, chaos magic.

Two magics, so foul, that now was all that stood between her and a real end.

>Why did you even bother...

She wished so very hard that she could cry. It only made her feel more unnatural, more twisted, that she felt the burning need to let it all out, but nothing would fall.

>They didn't even try to bring you back from the other world... they didn't want you back here. You should have just stayed gone. You would have saved everyone so much trouble.... nobody wanted you back before, or now.

It made her feel more dead, that her voice did not even become raspy or strained.

>And it's all your fault.

In those dead nights, all those times spent consumed with being alone, she had never once managed to convince herself that the blame fell on anyone else. She had tried, countless times she had tried, but it could never stick.

This was not Celestia's, or Applejack's, or Twilight's fault she was currently in this form, it was her own.

She had made the deal with the devil, and paid the price.

>And... I did it again...

2/9
>>
>>26764881

It had occurred to her before, though every time forced down, that she was just repeating the same mistake all over again. A changeling Queen, a need that had to be solved, a deal, and she had no idea what she was getting herself into. Once more, she could be used, abused, just like she had before, and she had willingly handed over the rock that was her heart to that monster, and promised away her soul should she get what she wanted.

She had shoved it down every time before, but in this emptiness that was full, she could not manage it again.

>I don't even know what she wants...

Or what she would use it for, or who would get hurt in the process, or who's blood may be on her hooves should she get it. Chitania was not a kind mare, she cared nothing for the sanctity of life, nor any who died in her wake. She was a Queen, every bit that Variolus was.

>And you just promised her anything she wanted.

It was a bitter thought, a terrible pill to swallow, but she could not force it away this time. She had to accept it, and the truth that came with it.

>...You still wouldn't turn her down, would you?

Her question to herself went unanswered, none was needed. She knew that if she were to appear right now and ask her again, the answer would be the same.

>Because you just...

Anything, to feel alive again.

>You just keep fucking up!

She hit herself, again and again, wailing on the puppet body she was trapped inside, trying to beat down the unnatural thing that should not be, and would not free her.

>You just keep fucking up and doing it all over again and I just want to feel normal again damn it!

She punched, she kicked, and she scratched in that weightless world.

>I JUST WANT TO FEEL AGAIN!

Finally, she brought her hoof to her face, and bit down, with everything she had.

>OW!

Even if the world had not been vacant of any other soul, she knew that somehow, it would stop.

>...W-what.

3/9
>>
>>26764895

It had been so long, it seemed alien in sensation. She didn't even recognize it at first, it was so different. It took far longer than she would ever admit before she put it together, and poked herself.

>What...

A tingle, a ripple, was going all over her. Invisible fingers tickling over every inch of her body, running past her fur like it wasn't even there to dance on her skin. Something was happening.

She could feel it.

>I... I'm...

As the sensations grew, as the pricks on every folic seeped down even deeper into her and danced beneath the muscle, the realization grew with it.

And with both of them, the light all around seemed to grow whiter, the fullness, fuller.

>Wait... wait a minute...

Any joy, any elation she might have felt could not claw it's way to the surface, smothered under a much different sensation. The feeling in her brain that overrided all others, and told her something wasn't right.

Something was wrong.

>Wait... wait no...

With every twitch of her hooves, every spark she felt going off when her bones shifted, she could feel more and more that something wasn't right. Something was happening, that it shouldn't have.

When the fire hit her lungs, it burned brighter than any real flame could. She understood when it happened, that this was not as it was meant to be.

>No, no not like this...

The light grew brighter even though her eyes were closed, grabbing her harder without anything there. It was consuming her, and it felt all too familiar.

>Not like this... I don't want it like this...

Her memory flashed back to that day, to when she had saw herself in the pooling reflection on the floor, when she had felt the end creeping to her and ready to pull her away into oblivion. She saw it once more, and could not help but notice that it felt much the same.

>No... no! No!

4/9
>>
>>26764907

Her eyes shot open when she heard it, even though there was not a sound. She looked up, so high she could feel the strain in the back o her neck, the pain of looking up so high when her head should be bowed low. In the endless white that seared her eyes, in the formless nothing above, she could swear she saw something. A figure, seemingly hidden, yet openly there.

>Not like this! Not like this! I just wanted to feel again! I just wanted to go back to how I was!

In that blank canvas that was the sky, she could feel it approach. There was nothing to see, nothing to look upon, but she could feel it. Something reaching out towards her, as if she were a rose to be plucked away.

>Get away! I want to go back! I just want to go back!

It kept approaching her, a tingle along her fur making it feel as if it were so large it could easily hold a dragon in it's hooves. She could not escape it, no matter how hard she struggled or fought. She could not even move, no matter how desperate her flail.

All the while, the stinging in her chest grew worse, and worse.

>I'm sorry! I'm sorry I was so stupid! I'm sorry! Just not yet! Not yet! I just want to feel again! Not now, not when I'm so close! Leave me here, please!

In that figure that she could not see, the sensation of a sad gazed washed over her like a wave on the beach. She could feel the sadness, yet resolve, of whatever was coming for her. It took no joy in this, but it did what needed done.

Her lungs worsened, the fire inside of them feeling like lava churning and bubbling within it. Flames rippled through her throat and seared her like fresh meat, doing nothing to staunch the wails and cries.

>Get back! Get away before I shoot you! I'll destroy you if you come any closer! Get away from me! I want to stay!

But no magic would come, no matter how she tried to force it. The end was coming, and she could not even bring a pitiful display to dissuade it.

>Get away from me, PLEASE! I don't want this!

5/9
>>
>>26764920

It was almost upon her, and she could do nothing.

Nothing, but feel the fire in her chest rise, and rise.

>I don't want to go!

Rise, until it could be contained no longer, and she had to let it all out.

>I DON'T WANT TO GOOOOOO!

Sunset Shimmer breathed fire.

The thing, the being, whatever it would be called, was at last given pause, at last stopped it's advance, as the flamed reached out, and consumed everything.

>I WANT TO STAAYYYYYY!

It rolled off in waves that would put any dragon to shame, pushed back the thing that wasn't there, yet was. She could feel the grasp still trying to reach her, to find her, but she would not let up. The fire inside of her would not be quenched, or burned away. It needed no fuel, no magic, to consume everything.

The void that was full, burned.

Her screech rang out, poured freely as the flame, until all things were devoured in its fiery tongue. Until all that had been white, became black. The figure had struggled, it had fought, but it had not stayed.

Soon, all around her was black, and hollow, and she felt nothing but the fire. A fire that burned even now, rolling out from between her gaping lips.

>Did... did I-

The fire remained, but she felt no warmth.

The coldness came faster.

>No...

She had failed.

>No...

She fell.

>Help...

She fell, and fell, icy claws gripping her body all the while, a grip that would not let go. She fell, until she felt another figure in the darkness.

>Help me...

Just as before, she could not see them, but she knew they were there. Someone waited for her, to catch her as she descended.

>Help...

She was too weak to move or fight as she had before. She could do nothing in the others grip but remain, lifeless.

>...you're going to take me away...

The figure she could not see held her, as gently as a mother, or a caretaker of any kind, would. She was protected, she was safe, even if she wanted nothing more than to be free of it's grasp.

>I... I just wanted to go back...

6/9
>>
>>26764941

Gently, slowly, the figure began to fall further into the nothing, carrying her with it all the way in a gentle freefall. Gently, the face that was not there narrowed to her own, and she felt something brush her lips.

>I'm sorry... I'm so sorry for everything I did... I just wanted to help... I just wanted to... to know I did something good...

She knew she was being carried to the end.

>I'm sorry...

In her mouth, in her lungs, in her chest, in her heart, the fire died away. Nothing remained, but cold.

>I'm so sorry.

Cold all over every inch of her, save one tiny part.

>I just wanted to feel again.

Only one piece of her did not feel the chill of the end.

Her lips.

>I...

They remained warm, and stayed so.

>I...

The light, that bright, burning, chilling, painful, soothing, gentle, powerful, wonderful, horrible, beautiful, sickening light came back. She could see nothing but white, could hear nothing but a screeching tone in hear ears, and could no longer move.

>...I'm sorry...

It was over.

As as it had begun, it was over.

There was nothing left.

Nothing, when the warmth on her lips left her.

Nothing was there to usher her in, to the end.

Only cold remained.

>I'm so... sor...ry..

~Sunset...~

The voice tickled her ears, a sweet humming that was like honey to her mind. The end had come, whatever it may be, and she could not fight anymore. She accepted it, accepted everything that would be. She had fought, she had struggled, but it hadn't mattered in the end. She was done, and it was over. The cold, the chill had remained, and she could never escape it.

So lost in the strange place she now found herself in, she almost missed that something else had remained as well.

~Sunset... come along now...~

A sensation, crawling along her skin.

~Come along...~

A feeling, still there, and that was most important of all.

~Come along now, we have so much to do...~

She could still feel.

~WAKE UP, DAMN IT!~

7/9
>>
>>26764955

The gasp to bring in air to her hurting lungs was the most beautiful, wonderful thing she had ever felt in her whole life. Every heave that brought the rush of cool wind inside was like being born all over again, wondrous as it was frightening.

The white before her gaze parted as if she had crested the water, rolling off slowly as a tall fluffy white mane took it's place. She could not pay attention to it, nor the angry, yet strangely soft and relieved eyes, laced in the black gaze that stared down on her.

~Oh, thank the hivemind... you are so damn lucky I caught that the air in your lungs was stagnant and useless in time, I literally had to breath for you for a while there. Should have known it would be something... You almost suffocated with your own breath, and thanks to you I had to breath that shit.~

Roughly, the massive being coughed, waves of dust and black spittle shooting free and onto the ground.

~So, thanks for that.~

She hadn't heard a single word of it.

She hadn't listened to a single sound. The Queen's rants had fallen onto ears so deaf they would not hear a dragon roaring beside them. She was lost, completely.

Lost in the feeling of her chest rising, and falling, as she breathed again.

Lost in the feeling of the foul, bitter and grimy taste in her mouth.

Lost in the tickle of her mane on her nose.

Lost in the feeling of sting on her dry eyes.

When she felt the moisture come to chase away that dryness, when that sting was awash in a soothing sensation, she was lost in another feeling entirely.

~In case you're wondering... it was a success. It's beating like it should, all the blood is circulating, there wasn't any leftover blood clots, and your other organs are functioning. Sunset Shimmer...~

When she felt the liquid roll down the side of her face, when she once again felt the wonder of tears, it hit her at last, all of it came together at last...

~Welcome back to the world of the living.~

And she lost everything.

8/9
>>
>>26764978

>I...

She couldn't contain it, nothing could contain it, the greatest magic that had ever been would have been mere paper tigers in a storm to stop her.

Before the Queen could move, could blink, could so much as think a single thought, she was shoved, actually shoved ever so slightly aside, as the pony leapt to her hooves, and raced.

>I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVEE!

Her cheer shook all of Canterlot, and rang in the ears of the Queen long after the one who had let it out slammed the door.

She was reduced to little more than a statue, staring stock still at the door as she heard the euphoric calls of joy and happiness grow quieter and quieter, and with it rapid steps of hooves that soon vanished completely.

The Queen sat there, gobsmacked for the first time in her life, staring blankly at the door, and letting her equipment fall to the floor. Eyes and mouth wide, she only stared as all her hard work literally ran away from her at top speeds, and there was no sign it would ever come back.

She had done the impossible, pulled off what none thought she was capable, and she had never felt more hollow inside.

~...So that's why Sweet Note said not to pay up front...~

The regrets of the Queen would have to wait.

Sunset Shimmer was back, and the whole world would know it.

First off, hurry! FINALLY! SUNSET LIVES AGAIN!

But more importantly... did all that really happen just to punk Chitty?

I'm not even mad if that's the reason.
>>
>>26764638
What are you talking about? Two was clearly one of the changelings in the background during the Canterlot invasion and therefore a canon character.

In all seriousness, I don't actually hate 2, but when it comes down to it, I'd have to stick to my guns if I blanket avoid OC's and changelings, so that it's not personal. Can't make special cases or that'd just be favoritism.

...That being said, I'd be happy to give an OC a pass if they meet one simple criteria, make me laugh. To me, comedy is the most important thing in the thread. If a character makes me laugh, I won't bash it. Comedy first, hate for OC or changelings later.

Ok there we go, nice work whoever you were.

>She can't even prove there was an agreement

>It might actually be illegal, so she can't even tell anyone what she wants
>Nobody is going to pick her over Sunset
>She technically broke the law doing this anyway cause no medical license.
>Sunset has everything she wants now, so no bartering chip

Oh sweet fuck, Chitty is screwed.

That's brilliant.
>>
>>26765124
Imma add to this, it;s borderline cathartic that Sunset leads in with a "FUCK YOU! YOU WERE USELESS! YOU NEVER ONCE DID ANYTHING TO HELP ME! YOU NEVER CARED BOUT ME!" to AJ, Celestia and Twilight, particularly AJ and Celly.
>>
>>26765154
>Oh sweet fuck, Chitty is screwed.

Even sweeter an irony, she's screwed because her deals with Aj and the rant from Twilight actually convinced her that ponies upheld their end of the bargain when it happened, and that she was actually being silly taking so many precautions. She got so wrapped up in actually doing it she made no way for her to collect when it was all over, and now Sunset not only has that but ALSO Necrophourus's technique.

Oh, the irony of it all...

"Oh no! Did something happen to my little Sunset?"

>Well... yes and no?

"OH NO! What happened!? You were supposed to be grabbing her and bringing her to eternal bliss!"

>Yeah, about that... she like, breathed fire on me? Kinda hurt.

"...what."

>Yeah, fire.

"You... you do know her father isn't a DRAGON, right? That one time in college meant nothing to me."

>Well, it was either symbolic of her breathing out all the dead air inside her lungs, a symbol of that death being forced out of her, or it was more metaphorical in an ironic mirror of that one time Chitty breathed fire to fight off the 'death' controlling spike, at the cost of her own life. Regardless, she's alive, so I can't-

"SHE'S ALIVE!?"

>Oh... did I not mention that?

"...eh?"

>Probably should have lead in with that. Yeah, she's alive, so I can't bring her to heaven.

>Which... which I guess isn't a bad thing?
