Seamore Sandwich

@@Denim&Venom I think that number is reasonable, seeing as The Forgotten One has been holding back up until this point. A great deal of his energy was going toward keeping Charlie under his control (holding an Everspirit anywhere but the Realm of Dreams requires a lot of magic). The Timberwolves may be a bit much, increasing the panic in Ponyville. If the changelings are in disguise, it might not make much sense for them to be riding Timberwolves. I assume that some of these troops can be considered expendable, right? I have some ideas for the battle to come if they are (none would die, but they may be rendered incapable of fighting for the remainder of the battle).

@@Denim&Venom Might I make one suggestion? Perhaps it would be best to have the changelings disguised as Royal Guards? It could help prevent a lot of panic, and it would help show which side the others are on as well (if they're fighting alongside a changeling queen, it helps indicate that the changeling queen is fighting for Ponyville).

You did what you had to do. I hope it helps improve your father's attitude, or at least that he respects the restraining order, giving you the space you need to live your life. If he violates the restraining order, call the police immediately if he seems angry in any way. I suspect that he might not take it seriously at first, do you need to make sure the restraining order holds.

@@Lonk Chase @@GingerLightning @@Melke @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom @@Quinch Despite its aerodynamic properties, the stick managed to fly straight and went through The Forgotten One's chest, pulling away its disguise. Charlie was pulled out of the creature, and the outer layer of black goo-like skin pulled off with him, revealing the beast's demonic form. It had only two arms, as opposed to having extras like it did when it was using Charlie to change its form, it still had wings, which were still paralyzed, and for the most part, it looked how you would expect any demon to look, except for its face. Maybe face wasn't the right word... It had eyes where they should be, but there was nothing else... no nose... no mouth... The entire creature looked like it was in greyscale, no color at all, except for the veins that still appeared green from the venom. It's blood was black as tar. Priestess' dagger was on the ground below after the jolt had flung it... the ground that was slowly approaching as the tower continued to fall. The wood that stuck to the blade fused into the metal and disappear within the blade, leaving it glowing sea green. The Traveller began to move away from the fight, right through the wind barrier if Zhu kept it up. He would walk out of the town and watch the fight from a greater distance.

@@Lonk Chase The Forgotten One himself can't be seen or touched yet, but if things go right in the next few posts, soon that will all change. There are other characters he can interact with, or he can try using something involving magic and seeing if that can affect The Forgotten One. Please just be sure to leave what happens to my characters as my decision. For example: Lonk slashed at where he thought the creature was, based on where he could see the daggers sticking out of it. Not: Lonk cut deep into The Forgotten One, using the daggers to figure out where the creature was. Edit: the creature can now be seen and hit, but still, please leave the effectiveness of the hits, as well as wether the attacks are dodged, to me. As long as you do that, there shouldn't be any issues.

@@Lonk Chase @@GingerLightning @@Melke @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom @@Quinch As Priestess began to cut into the stick, it triggered the wood's magical defenses, though it would have no effect on Priestess herself. The stick had absorbed enough of Priestess' blood that it would treat her as a part of itself, so she wasn't zapped when the wood let out a small burst of magic. It would blast the blade away, which would carry with it a small sliver of wood that was stuck to it. The clock tower began to tilt away from The Forgotten One, but the stick still pointed toward the invisible creature, the pull becoming increasingly stronger. With enough force it wouldn't even need to be aerodynamic to reach its target. While the clock tower was falling, Sylar scurried out of the way of falling debris. The poisons started to take effect slowly, slowing the creature's wings. It had to land since it could not remain airborne with its wings immobilized. Penny landed safely, but the beast lashed out toward the changeling that would have been her savior. She reacted quickly, firing a blast that separated the hand at the wrist before it could hit Queen Allure. "There will soon be no need for the wind barrier, The Forgotten One will soon be visible and without means of escape. Also, it should be clear to you by now that one who can peer into the future can have no predictable fate. I tried many times to guide your path, but each time, I failed. You cannot see your place in the future because seeing it would change it. To assume you have no role here is to assume you have no place in this world. Without you, this battle always ends badly. This is your battle, a battle to protect your world against a creature that would eventually destroy it all. It also will affect battles yet to come. What was once lost will soon be returned, though it is shielded from your eyes. Fates unknowable will soon be rewoven into the fabrics of destiny. For now, you must not trust what you see after this battle's end, because all such visions will soon change," The Traveller said. His tone was much more serious than it had been before this point. It was clear that this were important. If Zhu tried to look beyond the battle, the visions would likely either be fragmented, or what he could see would make little sense with injured ponies floating above the ground, speech containing no recognizable words directed toward emptiness, and ponies standing in circles for no apparent reason.

@@Lonk Chase @@GingerLightning @@Melke @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom @@Quinch The Forgotten One, after having returned itself to the spirit plane, slammed the ground with full force in an attempt to both imbalance its foes and shake off Ashta and Ko. The ground shook, sending cracks growing up the sides of the clock tower, which slowly began to fall apart. It knew it had to keep the stick away from itself. Otherwise, Charlie would use it to separate himself from The Forgotten One, thus removing its ability to hide in the spirit plane. At that time, Penny was falling from the balcony, and would soon meet her demise if nobody intervened.

@@Lonk Chase @@GingerLightning @@Melke @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom @@Quinch Sissilia rubbed her head against the side of Ginger's neck in an effort to make her feel better. The love of friendship hopefully may alleviate some of the hate sickness. As she did this, she purred softly, but blocked the bucket Meeko was under with her tail. She wanted all the attention for herself. The Forgotten One had wasted energy making himself corporeal for that moment, when he had struck at Penny. Charlie took the opportunity to attempt to break free. He could be seen trying to reach out of the creature's back for the stick Priestess was holding, but he could not reach far enough. The creature covered him over again before disappearing from view once more, Charlie screaming in pain all the while. "Though I do know the answers to the questions you seek, I cannot answer them for you myself. If you wish, I will however bring you back far enough that you may find these answers. Though, I would like to stay to ensure the outcome of this battle first, Traveller said to Zhu. The look in his eyes were like he were looking into the eyes of someone that looked like his long lost son, remembering a better time, and a great loss, yet being aware that he would never be able to get that back. Meanwhile, the board that Penny clung to snapped, and she began to fall toward the ground. @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom "His soul is still connected, so he isn't actually dead, but if his soul doesn't return, he'll end up staying in a coma until it does," Seamore responded to Brittle's question. Probably not the best thing to make a child stop worrying, but at least it might help get rid of the fear of death.

I'll be posting tonight, after I get home from this long trip.

Two posts in one night! It's been so long since I've done that! I'm loving this vacation!

@@Blitz Boom @@Denim&Venom @@Mentis Soliloquy "Well, he was zapped by an Everwood tree, which could mean his soul was separated from his body," Seamore replied. "Basically, we can't wake him up until we're sure his soul is in there. Otherwise... Well, I'm not really sure what would happen, but it's not anything good. There are certain safety protocols that say we shouldn't move him or try to wake him, and that anything that needs to be done by medical professionals must be done on site. That way the soul can find its way back to the body."

@@Lonk Chase @@GingerLightning @@Melke @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom @@Quinch Crack! As The Forgotten One's fist came down, becoming visible to everyone, Penny cast a shield over herself, but the force of the hit pushed the shield down into the balcony, cracking the supports. Stationary shields weren't her strong suit, so she decided to use a mobile shield, as that would be better than nothing. The creature pulled back its arm and the shield dropped, but the balcony began to shift downward. Penny began to slide toward the edge of the balcony. Not knowing any self levitation spells, she did the only thing she could: try to reach the inside before the balcony fell. She was too late. The balcony fell away, leaving her hanging with her front hooves around one of the remaining boards that was sticking out. That board too was cracked, and it was clear that it would not hold her long. Meanwhile, Quinch's attack seemed to be doing damage at first, but slowly he would feel his hits having less and less impact. The beast decided to try to swipe him away, but by the time he should have made contact, he ended up passing right through him since Quinch was no longer connected to the spirit plane by Miles. Before he could respond to Zhu, The Traveller remembered something. "One moment." Sissilia finished the flesh she was gnawing on, then The Traveller looked up to watch her slide down his face on her back, to the ground where she landed on all fours. After a deep chuckle, he says, "No matter how many times I see that, it's still amusing." Sissilia then walked her way over to Ginger to see what was wrong. Anyone could see the concern in her eyes as she approached the changeling half breed. She could tell that Ginger wasn't feeling well. @@Blitz Boom @@Mentis Soliloquy @@Denim&Venom "He's sleeping and he can't be woken up,". Seamore said to the curious little foxling. He probably should have clarified by saying 'shouldn't' instead of 'can't' but it isn't often that he deals with children of any kind. @@Blitz Boom @@Moonlit @@Hazard Time Derpy flew off into the night, returning to her home to get a good night's sleep after a long day.

Sorry, no post tonight. Too tired from the long trip. I'll probably type something tomorrow.

I'll try my best to get a reply in tomorrow, going to bed early tonight.

@@Denim&Venom I'll edit my post to say the clock was actually the clock tower, but Penny is still on the balcony of a different building.

@@Denim&Venom I never actually mentioned a clock tower, it was a clock inside a building, but the clock tower has already been solidified as part of the battlefield. Penny is on the balcony of another roof. Funny thing: originally I was going to write it as a clock tower, but I wasn't sure about the layout of Ponyville (it was already said that this battle was close to Sugarcube Corner).

@@Denim&Venom Thanks for the edit. @everyone I'll try to post as much as I can this week. I know some of you want the fight to end, so I'll do my best to work through the necessary details.
