[Samurai Equine 51,781]

Samurai breaths a sigh of relief knowing everypony has crossed the finish line by now. He can be the last to do so.

Gulp gulp gulp

Titanium drinks cup after cup of water

Gulp gulp gulp

Samurai pats Titanium's shoulder. "Ne, Titani-chan, are you gonna be all right? You really worked so hard in this race."

On 2025-01-04 at 2:12 PM, Dynamo Pad said:

Looking back at the finish line, Dynamo grinned as he saw @Samurai Equine Samurai, who was waving at him. "Onii-San!" Dynamo exclaimed, making his way over towards him as he gave the unicorn a cup of water. "How are you doing? I hope that you enjoyed the race! Have some water, rest and relax as you all were amazing out there! As to answer your question, there will definitely be an after-race ceremony. There will be some medals to hand out to everyone that either won the race and those that get participation medals, as well. Along with a certain extra prize for those that participated in the race." Dynamo winked, recalling the surprise that @Nitobit Moonlight had mentioned a little earlier. 

Samurai nearly jumps. "Ah! Oh, wait... It's just a cup of water. Heh. That's okay. Thank you, otoutosan." Samurai takes the water and drinks it. "Do you need any extra help setting up the ceremony?"

[Dynamo Pad 11,356]

"You're welcome, @ThePinkestofPones Saturn! I can imagine everyone else is feeling a little tired. Especially after what I've been hearing with the commentary from Starlight and Trixie. It honestly sounds like it was a crazy race, but it also sounds like everyone had a lot of fun." Dynamo says, looking back to the finish line to see that @Valynne Chatterbox, Kramathia and @Felis Amafeles Felis were making their way towards the finish line. "Felis! Chatterbox! Kramathia! You all made it!" Dynamo grinned, levitating a cup of water to each of the participants that had crossed the finish line. "I hope that you're all doing okay. Please have some water, rest and relax as you all did an amazing job! We're going to make the announcements in a bit, so please sit back and relax." Dynamo says, giving a smile and nod towards @Samurai Equine Samurai. "Eeyup and you're welcome, Onii-San!" Upon hearing the question of needing help, the gaming unicorn thought for a moment. As he pondered on if any help was needed, a thought had occurred to him with a nod. "Yes, please. Starlight and I were keeping track of the leaves. Since we have our winners of who crossed the finish line first, we also need our winner's of the leaves. If you can, could you please get our top participants who had gotten the most leaves knocked down, please?" Dynamo asks, looking around to find if the balloon Starlight and Trixie were in was viewable. "Speaking of Starlight, I haven't seen her or Trixie just yet. I hope that they are doing okay."

[Valynne 2,669]

*Chatterbox would grab the cup of water and drink a lot, Kramathia only looked at the glass of water without any response, only for Chatterbox to take it from her and drink it* Sorry Ponynator you can't drink water!

 

 Kramathia: Any water would provoque a short circuit in my system, Blue mare with squeaky voice, I authorize you to take my water, @Dynamo Pad this was a mission accomplished, your event is the one I learned a lot!

Titanium finishes drinking her... 20th drink. Wow, she is going to need to pee later.
Ugh... Oh yeah, that's right, I didn't actually hear anything from Trixie this entire race!
She looks up and starts scanning the sky
I wonder if they are stuck up there? She should have landed by now...

[Starlight Glimmer 111]

As Starlight and Trixie were still in their balloon, Starlight kept an eye on the participants that were still crossing the finish line. "It looks like everypony is close to completing the race. Sounds like a good time for us to make our landing." Starlight turned to @Trixie, who was still enjoying her chocolate milk rain flavored cinnamon nuts. Using her magic, the duo made their descent towards the starting area. Taking a few minutes, the balloon had made a safe landing in the same spot where it was placed before the race began. After tying up the balloon to make sure it wouldn't float away, Starlight and Trixie had exited the basket. All the while, carrying a score sheet that kept track of all the steps and leaves that had been recorded of the racers. "Hey, everypony! It looks like just about every one of you has finished the race and are all accounted for!" Starlight exclaimed, turning towards @Dynamo Pad with a smile. "Dynamo! It's good to see you again! I hope you the crowd got to enjoy hearing how the race had gone. Although, I will admit. Some of the race had left me with more questions than answers. I know Discord had caused a bit of mischief with the chocolate rain, turning day to night and even setting up the sign to go in different directions. However, I can't quite put my hoof on what happened with the obstacles that Pinkie and Fluttershy had set up." Starlight stated, placing a hoof under her chin as she pondered on what could have been the cause of these two mishaps.

On 2024-11-29 at 12:29 AM, Shiny Silvermoon said:

*With relief, the mare with a silver mane sensed that the days and nights ceased to swap places at a rapid pace. She thought that @Discord listened to her pleas and made it stop for her to not feel sick anymore but, as she glanced up at the sky to thank the Draconequus who was floating there, something else caught her attention. She saw that it was now night time and that the Moon was full.*

*Shiny Silvermoon turned her gaze toward the full moon and noticed that it was shining brighter than usually. However, she was aware that it wasn't caused by the chaotic magic of the Draconequus but, instead, it was a natural phenomenon. It was the Cold Moon which marks the end of the year, since this full moon aligns with the winter solstice. It's entire face is illuminated by sunlight, making it appear particularly bright. While staring at the Cold Moon, the mare felt something change within her. It wasn't just within her, it was also outside of her, since she was transforming. It began with the style of her mane and tail which turned into a replica of Starlight Glimmer's. Meanwhile, her icy blue strands became purple along with her irises shifting persian blue. To complete the transformation of the unicorn, the icy blue of the two-tailed shooting star on her cutie mark became light purple. A cold aura enveloped Shiny and frost began to spread where she was standing.*

"Huh?! What the pony is going on?! I've never seen this transformation before! That's so exciting! I wonder what powers I have! Maybe my magic is stronger!" *Shiny Silvermoon beamed, excited by the idea of discovering her new powers. Then, she tried to lift a small rock with her magic to see if it got any stronger but was left flabberghasted as a layer of frost quickly covered it. She then tried to pick up a leaf but her magic also turned it into ice. Suddenly, the unicorn had an idea.*

*Shiny began to run and, when she was going fast enough, she started to shoot a frozing ray out of her horn, directly on the ground in front of her, with the purpose of turning it into ice. She was now sliding onto the ice and quickly gained enough speed to arrive next to Titanium @Wizard who was desperately running.*

  Reveal hidden contents

"Howdy, Titanium! Lately, I've been worried about you! You've been sprinting, without taking any breaks, since the beginning of the race! You'll kill yourself if you continue! I tried to warn you earlier but you refused to listen! Now, I'm leaving you no choice but to CHILL!" *After saying her punchline, she blasted Titanium with her magic to freeze her hooves to the ground, making her unable to make another step. The layer of ice was too thick to be broken.*

"Now, you'll wait for the other participants to catch up and then @Samurai Equine will unfreeze you! I think he mentionned that he was doing pyromancy or something like that! Anyway! I'm happy that we broke the ice together!" *The mare said playfully, before skating on the ice back to far behind, where her friends were still running.*

Steps : 18

Total steps : 116

Total leaves : 81

OOC: I had no idea Shiny could do this. She really is quite the enigma of power.

"Curious, isn't it?"

Atop the parked balloon sat the draconequus himself, chuckling and slithering down to the bottom.

"Questions, questions, questions," he said while shaking his head. "It tickles my heart with glee seeing you rack your brain, my dear Starlight." With a flash of light, he suddenly appeared in the middle of the ponies who had finished the race, handing out flyers to each of them which read in large, crudely drawn letters:

Congrats, ya made it without a hitch!
- Your forever pal, Discord

Slinking up to @Starlight Glimmer and Trixie, patting their heads, he proclaimed, "I did indeed have a lot of fun spectating and toootally not getting involved with any of the wacky shenanigans you all experienced! However, I can't help but notice..." He let out a mock gasp and narrowed his eyes, "That there's two who haven't shown up yet!" He giggled before vanishing again and this time appearing on Starlight's back, inexplicably dressed as a cowboy and putting on an accent. "Ooooh, that stings more than the copperhead who got into ma crops, boy golly!" He let out a laugh before lounging back, still on top of the unicorn.

"Ooooh, that stings more than the copperhead who got into ma crops, boy golly!" He let out a laugh before lounging back, still on top of the unicorn.

Blinking in surprise, Starlight looked around curiously until looking up towards the top of the balloon. "What the..." Starlight started, but stopped as she thought she had seen @Discord sitting atop of their balloon. Had he always been there, or did he just get there. The Draconequus didn't stay there for long as he had teleported in the middle of the crowd of participants. "Discord? What are you doing here? I thought you had left to go back home after having your fun in the race." She used the word 'fun' loosely as it was mostly fun for Discord and not as much fun as the ponies that were in the race. As she listened to Discord's speech, the unicorn couldn't help in raising an eyebrow as she put two and two together. "Wait a minute. You mean you were the one that made that sinkhole and caused Fluttershy's animals to go into a frenzy?" Starlight asks, narrowing her eyes slightly upon being patted on the head. "If you were in on this, then why didn't you tell Trixie, myself or even Dynamo? It would have saved us a lot of worrying and much more of being in on the obstacles. Did Fluttershy know that you were involved in this?" Starlight knew how important Fluttershy was to Discord. If their trip to the Changeling Kingdom to rescue their friends was any indication. It still didn't answer her question of why Fluttershy didn't say anything. Unless it was more of Discord helping out in his own way, but that was more along the lines of Discord being Discord.

With all of her thinking, she was brought out of her train of thought by Discord's mock gasp. "Two of our participants haven't shown up yet? Did they not cross the finish line? Who are we missing? Uh...Dynamo? Did you check the names off the list of who had made it past the finish line?" Starlight asks, feeling a bit of weight on her back from Discord appearing out of nowhere. "Uh, Discord? While I do get that you're having fun at everypony's expense. I do hate to inform you that this isn't a free pony ride. So, would you please kindly get off of me? If there's anyone missing, then who is it?"

Titanium looks down at the flyer. "I will cherish it forever."  She says, rolling her eyes and stuffing the flyer into her satchel.

She looks over towards Starlight and Trixie "And after I asked so nicely for you to comment on me, Trixie, Guess I'm keeping the hat then~" She chuckles to herself, before realising what Discord said "Wait, two ponies are missing?... Was that some kind of hint that one of them is applejack? I assumed she would just stay at the barn." She ponders for a while, unsure of what to make of the situation.

Samurai smirks. "Now how did you know that I can be super observant?"

Taking a step back, Samurai takes a moment to look back at the race course and do some math. "Let's see... 10, 20, 40... And they got over 100... And I was over there, and they were over there, and the animals scattered things over there... And those couldn't have been moved by the last place racers, so it must have been..." After a while, Samurai claps his hooves together. "I've got it!" First he runs over to @Shiny Silvermoon and then brings them both over to @Crypty Scribbles. "Shiny-chan, Crypty-san, we need to stick together. We're about to be very important."

[Crypty Scribbles 5,057]

Crypty was feeling absolutely lost in the woods so when he saw @Samurai Equine and @Shiny Silvermoon approaching he experienced a great relief.

"Oh Goodness! At least somepony here! Samurai sama, seems I lost direction to the finish point. Could you guide me?"

Discord dropped his smug smile at the request and promptly vanished off the top of @Starlight Glimmer, back into the fray.
"Who, indeed? Well, since none of you were appreciative enough of my assistance during the race, I think I have the right not to give you the satisfaction of an answer!" He said with a huff before smirking again, stroking his miniature beard and pondering to himself. "Although, I do suppose that could work as well..."

Discord suddenly floated into the air, summoning a cloud with which he could lay atop of. "To all my little winning ponies, I will gladly give you the answer... If any of you are able to solve a little teensy weensy equation~! And whoever does so will receive a free gift!" Discord snapped his fingers and summoned a VERY large bouquet of flowers. "Then, you will not only have our two missing racers but ALSO a new scent for your homes as thanks for participating in these games!" With a bow, Discord observed all the ponies who had made it across the finish line, taking particular note of @Dynamo Pad and @Shiny Silvermoon, waving at them.

He turned to @Valynne Chatterbox and tapped her on the head. "Be sure to record this, won't you? And I demand an interview later for my slot on 6000 Minutes!"

Summoning a microphone into his hand, Discord announced, "Now then! If I have 5 apples and take away 3... What is it that is funny to one, frightening to another, and is always silky and blue?"

Out of nowhere, a stopwatch floated upwards and began ticking away.

"Two ponies are indeed missing! On the red corner, the beloved princess of something that is unknown to us all but that we all seem to need! The pink pegasus that I affectionately call my sister!

Out of nowhere, a stopwatch floated upwards and began ticking away.

Upon hearing Discord not feeling appreciative in regards to assisting with the race, Dynamo couldn't help in tilting his head in confusion. "Uh...Discord? If you wanted to join in on the obstacles, then you could have asked me. I know that you like to go over the top with chaos. While it was unexpected, you were only helping out in your Discord-like ways. Maybe next time, you can ask and we can always work together. If that's okay, of course." Dynamo says, smiling as he offered Discord to assist in the next race. His smile soon vanished as realization was starting to sink in. Upon hearing @Shiny Silvermoon mention @Ice Princess Silky <3 Silky and @Sir Hugsalot Vibrant, Dynamo's eyes darted around the crowed of racers. "S-Silky? V-Vibrant? Are you both here?" Dynamo asks, feeling his heart start to quicken as he double checked the list of participants that had crossed the finish line. It looked as if everyone had made it except for the two of them. "G-Guys? Did anyone see Vibrant and Silky cross the finish line?" Dynamo asks, hoping that anyone had seen them. Unfortunately, @Discord Discord's confirmation of two missing racer's confirmed his fear. Feeling tears well up in his eyes, Dynamo looked up at the Draconequus, who sat atop a cloud. "What have you done with Silky and Vibrant, Discord!? Please tell me where they are! This isn't funny!" Dynamo tried to keep calm and take a breath, but thinking that they were hurt or lost had gotten to the gaming unicorn.

Closing his eyes as he placed a hoof to his forehead, Dynamo couldn't help as he felt the welled up tears cascade down his face. To Dynamo, he cared about those he considered as a friend. The fact that something could have happened to them was something he couldn't accept. Shaking his head as he felt his body shake slightly in worry, Dynamo opened his mouth to speak. Yet it was all in vain as Discord had given everyone a riddle to solve. Raising an eyebrow in confusion, the gaming unicorn looked toward the participants to see if anyone had answer in mind.

Discord stood there and smiled a very shocked smile, his eye twitching. "Well, somepony's quite observant, aren't they? However, I hesitate to inform you that the question continues to remain unansweeered! Oh, will nopony receive this marvelous gift?" He said dramatically while leaning back, a hand over his eyes.

"You have made several pranks during the race which was funny to you but frightening to others such as the animals that your precious Fluttershy was taking care of! The answer to this riddle might be what made you come to this event in the first place! A prank is the answer I give!" *Shiny Silvermoon responded to @Discord.*

Upon hearing Discord not feeling appreciative in regards to assisting with the race, Dynamo couldn't help in tilting his head in confusion. "Uh...Discord? If you wanted to join in on the obstacles, then you could have asked me. I know that you like to go over the top with chaos. While it was unexpected, you were only helping out in your Discord-like ways. Maybe next time, you can ask and we can always work together. If that's okay, of course." Dynamo says, smiling as he offered Discord to assist in the next race. His smile soon vanished as realization was starting to sink in. Upon hearing @Shiny Silvermoon mention @Ice Princess Silky <3 Silky and @Sir Hugsalot Vibrant, Dynamo's eyes darted around the crowed of racers. "S-Silky? V-Vibrant? Are you both here?" Dynamo asks, feeling his heart start to quicken as he double checked the list of participants that had crossed the finish line. It looked as if everyone had made it except for the two of them.

"Fear not, Dyny! I shall solve the enigma and bring back our two beloved friends! However, if I fail, I shall unleash my wrath on the draconequus who is responsible for the harm that was done to my beloved sister and the wholesome defender! I will not know rest until Discord will breath! I will be serious…" *The mare said with an intensity that nopony knew she possessed.* "However, if he bring them back safe and sound, I will forgive him for the little fear he did to us!" *Shiny found back a joyful tone of voice.*

Zooming his head right down towards Dynamo's face, Discord stated "Now, now, everyone is completely safe from harm! I was initially going to stop at just the animals but I just felt so compelled to be involved even more! What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't keep you all on your hooves, right?"

He thwipped back onto his cloud and summoned a glass, making the cloud rain down inside it. "By the way, my jokes aren't funny? I'll tell you what's not funny, my cerulean friend. Nopony here offering ME water while I was out there in the scorching sun as you all were! Harrrrumph!" He drank from his glass before spitting the water back out. "Ah! Hot!"

After finishing, Discord heard @Shiny Silvermoon's answer and smirked at her, disappearing and reappearing directly in front of her, inches away. "A... Prank, you say? That is your final answer?" His eyes glimmered with excitement before pulling out a trumpet and blowing a fanfare. "Well, looks like we have a winner! I'm more than happy to give you that one, er... Shining Sliversun, was it? Eh, close enough. Oh, I'd better get into the spirit of things real quick!"

He snapped his fingers and was now in a white wedding dress holding the large bouquet of suspiciously large and blue flowers, before tossing it over his shoulder into the crowd of racers.

"And because you all did so wonderfully...!" He snapped his fingers yet again, summoning @Ice Princess Silky <3 and @Sir Hugsalot Vibrant back into the fray... From the sky. As they fall, Discord moved a large bucket of water beneath them so as to catch them.

"Oh, and by the way, be careful with those flowers! I hear they have some... Funny side effects." He cackled gleefully and spun around in the air.

"I'LL CATCH IT!!! I'LL CATCH THE POISON JOKE!!! YES!!!" *Shiny yelled, while backing up with her fore hooves lifted in the air, ready to catch the suspicious flowers. However, she misfortunately tripped on @Ice Princess Silky <3 who appeared right behind her. The flowers then felt into the hooves of @Dynamo Pad.*

*Still laying on the ground, the unicorn desperately screamed, after her failure at catching the poisonous flowers.* "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

*She then dramatically punched the ground with one of her hooves.* "One day, I'll be touching poison jokes… One day…"

[Discord 272]

As the madness continued, Discord nonchalantly summoned a paddleball to play with and a hot dog to munch on. "Now THAT is unfortunate. MUAHAHAHA!" With a final cackle, Discord leapt into the air. "Thank you to all for participating in this event and for providing me hours of entertainment!"

As he was about to fly off into who knows where, a leaf from the Poison Joke floated onto his nose.

"...Oh dear."

A large sneeze escaped him as he suddenly began disappearing and reappearing repeatedly and violently. "I knew I shouldn't have been using this in my teas!" As he got blown off course, he vanished once again for good this time.

Saturn didn't know what to do, she was usually so brave and quick witted, she kept looking back and forth at everything, she looked at Shiny and at Silky "now what do we do?" She sniffled after Discord disappeared.

"DYNAMO?! WHERE'S DYNAMO?!" she realized looking for him.

"Well, remember when the princess rewarded with medals the ponies and non ponies from space who fought the Empire? There was even those robots… One of them was made of gold or something like that… Why can't I remember the name of the movie? Anyway! It's time for us to celebrate those who were running very fast!" *Shiny Silvermoon answered @ThePinkestofPones Saturn Ring.*
