Human!" >"Your choice. Brian, take it from here." >The large human walks over to the pony tied to the table. >His face covered in scars, muscles rippling as he walks. >"You sure you don't want to reconsider?" >>"Eat hay!" >"Suit yourself." >The other human leaves and the gargantuan takes his place. >The human takes a rag and ties it across the pony mouth. >"Bwuug -uoo!" >He cracked his fingers, knuckles and does some stretches. >Before giving a menacing smile and going to work >Despite the rag, the hallways quickly fill with muffled laughter >Other prisoners cover their ears, to try and escape the horrific sounds. >Some crying -------------------------------------------------------- >The Canterlot officials look at the new magic video of the rebels torturing captured guards. >A large pool filled with water >Rebels standing all around, each holding a pony. >The rebels walk out to the pool on walkways over them. >Then hold the pony guards above the water. >The guards start crying and paddling their hoofs >"NO! NO PLEASE! I-I CAN'T SWIM!" >>"Should have thought of that before, imperial! ALLAH-HU-AKBAR!" >A chorus later, and all the guards are gently lowered into the pool. >The immediately start crying. >"NO! IT'S COLD! IT'S COLD!" >they violently stomp their hoofsies in the half pony leg deep water >"I WANT MY MOMMY!" >Many of the officials look away, princess Luna looks on in anger, Twilight in sadness. >The officials whisper to each other, some comforting the others. >Princess Celestia has a single tear roll down her cheek and princess cadence puts a solemn hoof on her side. >The guards are eventually picked up again, still crying and cradled. >>"Who's a bad pony?!" >The officials gasp at the psychological torture. >"I-I AM! WAAAH-HAAA! I don't wanna be a bad pony! I'm sorry!" >The guard pony hides his face behind his hoofs and keeps crying. >>"Bad pony! No frosting on cake tonight!" >The streams is ended. >The entire crowd bursts into anger and argument on how this threat must be ended. >Princess Celestia comments: >>>"I fear, when we placed Blue Blood in change, we awakened a sleeping giant and filled it with a great resolve." -------------------------------------------------------- >A few weeks later >Another pony crashes through the open window >A plastic block taped to his back >After setting up the complex VHS player, all the officials gather round too see the new atrocity being committed. >The video starts up with a walk through what is assumed is a rebel prison. >Guard ponies are in cells where the bed is too hard. >They all look sad, ears down, eyes on the floor. >>"I need to go to the bathroom sir!" >A guard pleads with his captor. >"No! You already had a bathroom break this hour. Only good ponies get more bathroom break." >>"I am a good pony! Please! I really need to go!" >"No!" >The officials are already tearing up, seeing the guards defeated face, as he slumps back down. >The scene changes to food being handed out. >Innocent oreos at first. Then it is realized, by the green band in the center. >>>"N-no...: >Celestia whispers... >MINT flavored. >One official almost throws up, he excuses himself. >The rebels pour milk into the glasses too thin to fit the oreo easily. >Princess Luna screams at the video >>>>"Unflavored milk! This is a war crime!" >The video closes up on the ponies trying to split their oreo into 2, but with hooves it's next to impossible. >The few unicorns received oreos with the cream scraped off and put on the side. >Princess Twilight slams her hoof, then excuses herself with tears in her eyes. >Guards attempt to dip the cookie into the glass of milk, but it's impossible as the glass is too skinny. >They crunch of the dry cookie, with defeat on their faces, some gently sobbing. >The video changes to one of the masked men. >"If you do not meet our demands! The conditions here will get much worst." >He says as he holds up a box of 3.5% milk and compliments oreo rip offs. >All the officials holding it in, start crying. >Princess Luna slams the table hard enough to break it, and Cadence comforts a crying Celestia. >>>>"ENOUGH!" >Celestia declares. >>>>"Prepare our guards! This means war!" -------------------------------------------------------- >"SHHH. This is Cupcake. Alpha Two-One, alpha two-one. Come in Alpha. SHHH." >>"SHHH. Alpha two-one, go-ahead cupcake. SHHH." >The pony peddles on his aircraft's motor. >Flying deep over rebel controlled territory, eyeing targets to attack. >The pilot picks up the can and puts it to his ear, on the other end of the very-very-very-VERY long string, ground control ponies gather. >”SHHH. Alpha, there’s a small enemy manufacture plant, about 60 degrees from you. SHHH.” >>”SHHH. Copy that, I see em. SHHH.” >The pilot expertly maneuvers his aircraft to prepare to release his weapon. >”SHHH. Clear to engage Alpha. SHHH.” >He looks down to his HUD panel, the weapons available expertly drawn on with sharpie. >Selecting one, he prepares himself over the target. >Pushing a lever, the aircraft drops its ordinance. >In a few seconds, the weapon slams onto the rebel factory, covering it in frosting and a few cherries. >”SHHH. Good hit! Good hit! SHHH!” >Rebels run outside, covered in frosting. Some slipping. >”SHHH. Another target, 10 degrees down, 40 degrees. SHHH” >>”SHHH. Copy that.” >The pilot maneuvers his aircraft again. Peddling harder to accelerate. >In an instant, his cockpit system duck switches his normally calm green panel with a menacing red one. >The duck starts quacking repeatedly. >>”SHHH! SAM! SAM! SHHH.” >”SHHH. No, this is cupcake. SHHH.” >The pilot violently maneuvers his craft, trying to escape the trailing weapon. >Alas, it is in vain, as the melted Marshmallow smashes into the aircraft. >The pilot attempts to paddle, but his propeller is gunked up and he is unable to. >>”SHHH. Mayday! M-SHH-day! SAM hit, goi-SHH- down!SHHHHHH.” >”SHHH. Alpha is going down! Alpha is going down! Warn all aircraft of Surface to Air Marshmallows! SHHH” >The pilot quickly pulls his ejection popper. >The cockpit is blown off, and he’s launched out in a stream of confetti. >As soon as he is clear, balloons self-inflate and he holds the string >He sees his aircraft fall into the distance, his systems duck flying away. >He gently floats down towards the ground, rebels already preparing to greet him. -------------------------------------------------------- >The princesses and other officials gather and wait anxiously for the next video. >A Pegasus pony crashes through an open window, on him another VHS. >With the tape quickly removed, the pony is, once again defenestrated. >The VHS begins to play. >A building with a courtyard, rebels inside the building. >At the center of the courtyard is a cage. inside is the captured pilot. >He stands there, looking scared and defeated. >The view pans to above the cage. >Underneath there is a grate, behind which something the ponies can only fear. >Tied to the grate are hundreds of streamers. A weapon banned under the pony rights code. >The Canterlot officials, even though they have been hardened by other videos, prepare themselves against what they are about to see. >Princesses at attention, trying to watch for every detail, and maybe hoping to do something. >No one dare make a sound, lest risk missing something. >Suddenly, there is a whirring sound. >The pilot looks around underneath him, and his fur starts to lift up. >Soon, the colorful streamers tied to the grate begin to lift up. >What must be a fan pushes the streamers and causes them to blow upwards. >A chorus of chants by the human follows this. >”BAD PONY! BAD PONY!” >The officials cringe, and one blocks her ears trying to forget the words. >The pilot quickly reacts, the streamers tickling his sensitive belly and under hooves. >His laughter fills the arena. >Once again many officials comfort each other; Princess Luna grinds her teeth and covers her tum-tum thinking about those streamers. >Twilight blocks her ears to the laughter, the sounds echo off the buildings and come back repeatedly. >The pilot attempts to escape the streamers tickling him, moving around almost as if he’s dancing. >The footage goes into slow motion and each streamer tickling his belly can be seen. >One official finally cries, while another just clenches his jaw and crushes his candy cigar. >Some tickle the pilots chin, and neck which causes him to yelp and laugh some more, trying to fend them off. >But he cannot, they’re everywhere and he can do nothing but laugh and try to protect his belly. >His eyes are filled with tears, his sides and jaw beginning to hurt. >But the streamers do not stop. >Princess Cadence finally snaps and begins to cry as well, hugging Twilight for comfort. >Eventually, the pilot falls asleep from exhaustion, and the fan is finally turned off. >As these videos always have, a man wearing a mask comes to the camera. >”This is only the beginning, if our demands are not met, there will be more.” >The man holds up extra-long feathers. >>”NO!” >Princess Luna screams from the top of her lung, directed at the masked man, but he cannot hear her. >She’s appalled by the use of magic feathers for such an evil deed. >She stands up and stomps off into the royal armory. >Princes Celestia who had hid her emotions thus far finally speaks. >>>”We do not know what Blue Blood did, however their response is unjustifiable. Prepare a war negotiation; we are officially at war with these humans.” -------------------------------------------------------- >6 ponies make their way through the rebel occupied woods. >Making sure to check every tree and watch every step >In complete silence they walk, holding their weapons near. >Eventually, one pony puts a hoof up, signalling to hold. >Peering through his balloon binoculars, he closely watches every detail of the compound. >confetti wire forming a perimeter, behind the wire is a fence. >Made of strong wood and too tall to climb over without special equipment. >Inside multiple building and rebels patrolling them. >Including their target, a small rebel building holding information on the rebel activity. >Their leader eyes a path, around a few abandoned buildings, hopefully concealed from the patrols. >Satisfied, he signals and the team moves again. >They slowly walk to the back of the building, making sure to not be spotted. >>”Hold!” >One soldier almost screams out, and signals towards another’s hoof. >By the base of his hoof, is a small red thing. >The leader approaches cautiously and carefully with special tongs, lifts it in the air. >A 2 x 4 Lego brick. >The soldiers all collectively cringe, imagining what would happen had they stepped on one. >Now much more cautious, they all slowly move, clearing bricks as they saw them. >Finally, though slow progress, they approach their target. >The rebels weren’t cheap with security, the door handle is too high up, and it’s a knob type. >A soldier attempts opening it standing on his hind legs, but the knob keeps slipping. >Not even magic can turn the highly polished metal. >”Find a window, maybe we can climb in.” >Whispering words of affirmation, the soldiers get to work, searching for an opening in the building. >They find a window; unfortunately, it has curtains on it, complicating the entry. >The team expertly pushes the curtains aside, and 2 ponies jump into the room. Followed by the others. >Inside are walls covered in sticky notes, with drawings and writing. >A duck with a large butt and a long balloon between it, and a badly drawn bear with the writing ‘Ebin’ >”Some kind of complex code I think. We’re gonna need the experts to crack this stuff.” >>”Sir, you better see this.” >The soldier hands his superior a piece of paper. >On it plans for a giant balloon, with a massive cream pie on top, crayoned on. >”By the sun, they must be planning on pie-ing all of Canterlot.” >The team collects all the data, snapping any crayon sets in half so they have a hard time remaking plans. >Then they jump out the window and make their way back towards the woods. >Just as they reach the house, an alarm starts blaring. >The team is promptly under fire, watermelon seeds pelting the ground. >”TAKE COVER! TAKE COVER!” >They return fire, hopefully keeping the rebels from advancing onto them. >>>”Over by the fence! Cherry thrower!” >A heavy cherry thrower opens onto them, the cherry shrapnel hitting them. >>”There’s the building over there sir!” >Following the soldiers pointing, there stands another building. >”Star! Batter! Get over there! Everypony else, covering fire! GO!” >The 2 ponies start running, one behind the other. >Seeds and cherries fly past them, one soldier almost there. >>”BPG!” >The balloon launched ordinance lands hits very close to the second soldier. >He falls backwards, landing on his back. Trapping him. >”Star! Keep running! Batter! Try getting up!” >He attempts to roll side to side and escape, but he cannot. >Seeds and cherries narrowly missing him as he lies there stuck. >He frantically waves his hoofsies to try and get himself upright, just like training, but it does’t work. >”Hold Batter! We’re coming! Mountain on me! Everypony else cover!” >The two run across to their injured comrade, ignoring the seeds and cherries. >”You’re fine soldier! Mountain! Hold him!” >Picking their injured friend up, they run towards the building. >Reaching it, they try to patch up the injured Batter. >He has cherry shrapnel embedded into his fur, it could take months to come out and he may even lose some fur. >The squad leader cringes at the idea. >”Flounder! Stock! Regroup! Everypony else cover!” >The final two run across the war zone, towards the other comrades. >Upon reaching them, the leader gives new orders. >”We’re gonna run across the field over there towards the forest! You understand?” >A chorus of yes sirs follows. >”Good! GO!” >They all charge towards the forest, mountain holding batter and everyone else shooting back while running. >Getting closer to the forest. >More seeds and cherries whip past, missing by hair lengths. >Another balloon hits close by, spraying cold gelato everywhere. >Very close to the forest now! >”Almost there!” >BOOM >One soldier steps on a bomb bag; the entire squad is thrown about, confetti spraying everywhere. >The lie on their sides, moaning. >Rebels close in on their technicals. >The leader tries one more attempt to fight back, lifting his side arm, and shooting. >Unfortunately, it jams, and he curses griffon design. >A few minutes later, they’re all lined up on the technical sides. Except for the leader, who’s left there lying. >Their belongings are taken, and dumped on another technical. >>>>”You should have never come here.” >”Eat cream!” >The leader still strong tries to insult the rebels. >>>>”Ha ha ha! You first.” >The human picks up the leader, holds him in view of his soldiers. >Placing his hand on his neck. The soldiers cringe, Mountain tries to look away but he’s forced not to by a large hand. >The human quickly rubs his hand over the leaders neck. >Scratching deep, getting all the most sensitive areas. >The leader squeaks and kicks and tries to fight it, but he cannot. >Soon, his leg is kicking on its own, and he quickly falls asleep. >Despite being no strangers to cruelty and war, the soldiers tear up and grind their teeth. >The human picks up their sleeping leader, and hands him to humans, who puts him in a deep carriage. >>>>”Now then, the rest of you. Let’s see if you enjoy human hospitality.” -------------------------------------------------------- >”What do you mean captured?!” >>”As in taken, and currently held by the enemy.” >”How?! Rainbow Sprinkle six, are our best covert operators.” >>”I don’t know sir. We’ve lost all but one team’s sir, and all the reports indicate they can see through our best camouflage tactics.” >”IMPOSSIBLE! It is simply logic that if you cannot see the enemy! Then they cannot see you!” >>”Captain. Princess Celestia has also officially declared war.” >>>”Heavy party tanks are already preparing for attack. We’re keeping up the strike crafts.” >”And how much effect are they having?” >>>”Not much, no matter how many we down, they always come back. And they’re darned Marshmallow have downed many.” >”Here the production report says production isn’t nearly as high as it should be.” >>”Sir, with all due respect, our ponies are doing the best they can.” >”Then I hope you will allow me a tour of the factory?” >>”Yes sir.” >--- >The factories are massive structures, hundreds of ponies walking into and out of them. >The Captain walks in through the rear workers door.” >>>>”Sir!” >Ponies salute him, and his escorts. >”Do not mind us, carry on.” >He walks around the place where raw materials are placed. >Massive quantities of dough cut being into shapes. >Frosting boxes marked with warnings, cherries filled in a special box. >>”500 pound cakes, Sir. Over there, 1000 pounds are made.” >The dough is placed into the furnaces, baked almost instantly and then pulled out by workers. >Passed along an assembly line, for workers to frost, add cherries and put into boxes. >Pies are made in a similar fashion. >>”The pies come in crusty or soft types, sir.” >At a massive table, extremely obese ponies sit around biting into watermelons. >”What exactly is their job?” >>”Watermelon seed production, sir.” >One of the morbidly obese ponies spits out a seed into a box. >”I see...” >A pony at the end of the table runs a small knife into the melon. >”Why is that pony using a sharp knife?!” >>”Sir, we needed to increase production and had to ignore some safety procedures.” >”This is extremely dangerous; we cannot have ponies cutting themselves. Give them blunt knives.” >>”But sir...” >”I will not have a pony injured on my watch.” >>”Ye-yes sir.” >”Good. Enough of the ordinance show me the weapons.” >>”Right this way sir.” >They group enters another section of the factory. >A massive machine pours out straws, another loads them with a watermelon seed. >A pony picks up the straw and shoots a seed into a target, putting the weapon in one of two piles. >>”Here is the cherry thrower manufacturing sir.” >A large device is assembled, large rubber bands, wooden wheels and limbs. >The devices are also tested by a pony. When a wheel is cranked, a wooden wheel pushes back at a rubber band placing a cherry in its path. >When the wheel is clear and let’s go of the band, a cherry is launched at impressive speeds at a target >>>”New production model sir, only have a failure rate of 42% sir, an improvement over the 67% rate of older model.” >”Impressive.” >>”These are the larger balloon pieces.” >Giant tubes inside which a large balloon is inflated, the tube is topped with a cake. >”Impressive. Very good. Show me our vehicles.” >The group enter another section of the factory, the aircraft production area. >”Explain this to me.” >>>”A large sheet of paper comes in from the factory; it’s laid out over those benches.” >A pony is signalling a crane to put down the paper. >>>”Then the marking sticks are placed, and the paper is folder.” >The paper has large sticks placed on it, and then a crane folds its edges. A pony drives a roller over it. >>>”Then the wings are folded out, and a motor and instrument panel and duck are added.” >The paper plane takes shape, and a motor with a big propeller and pedals are added. >Finally, a panel with a screaming duck and sharpie drawn buttons and knob, added. >”How much does one cost?” >>>”4 million bits sir.” >”Why so expensive? I remember the old flyers used to cost 1 million.” >>”Sir, these are new and improved in every way.” >>>”The motors been improved, we found power transfer works better if we actually add some way to connect peddles to the propeller. The improved cockpit duck is 24% less likely to attack the pilot, than the old geese.” >”Sounds like a gimmick to me. Show me the party tanks.” >>”Very well sir, this way.” >They enter another part of the factory. >>>”Here the RHC is manufactured.” >”RHC?” >>>”Rolled Homogeneous Cardboard, sir. Much harder than mild cardboard.” >A machine pumps out sheets of cardboard, laying them in a pile. >>>”Here the workers are just finishing a heavy party tank. 50mm thick RHC all around, 10mm roof. 200mm launcher, fires pies, poppers and cakes.” >”Impressive, how much does it cost?” >>”1.5 million bits sir.” >>>”The light party tanks are cheaper, but only have a 50mm launcher and only fire poppers. As well as only 10mm RHC all around.” >”Good, good.” >The group finally head back to the castle, the other take their leave and the captain approaches the princesses. >They all look at him approach. >>>>>”Well? What is your assessment soldier?” >”We’re ready for whatever they throw at us, princess.” --------------------------------------------------------
