private The War on PACE: after the war (SoL)

[Fireblaze 16]

The house brightens up again. "Alright... Thanks for forgiving me for that. I sometimes get carried away when I want to make sure people know I'm here. I don't know how bad PACE actually was, but it sounds like you didn't like them much at all. Now I'll be right back, I have more guests to introduce myself to!"

 

The house starts to observe the group, thinking to itself. some ponies have come, I guess I can have some fun with them. it started wildly dimming the lights and said in a booming voice "GET OUT! This land is unwelcome to your kind!"

“Well ok, I will go find something to eat and let you have your fun too.” Charles saying as he was walking to the Kitchen to find some food while he was thinking and was smiles too. *Next time Lydia tell me about the computer too and I will remember too* Then he was looking for the Mess hall or Kitchen

Part of the main force changed their line to prepared for the charge, leaving less muskets for the main assault. "Right, here we go. Ready! Aim!" He brought his sword in air "Aim low!" He could hear the Sergeants repeating the order. "Fire!" A wall of smoke blocked the view, he immediately shouted for them to load, as was just about a natural instinct now. When the smoke cleared, he counted roughly 15 wounded or dead.

 

The minions leveled their muskets. Golden Age closed his eyes, expecting to be hit. Bullets whizzed over him, but none hit him. He tried to divert his attention from his own wounded. "Fire by file, from the left! Commence firing!" After the discharge had reached the end, he reckoned he should assist Cezary. "Fix bayonet! Charge!"

 

After reaching the enemy line, the melee began. He was forcing his way to the Imposter. The regulars kept the minions busy, it was just Goldie and him...

[kappa214 76]

Colgate heard the voice "okay! Bye!" She yelled obviously scared and sprints out the house.

 

Hank seemed unfazed "look. I dont want any problems.. im a timelord. Im not afraid of anything.. but death."

 

Celestia gulps "im not afraid either!" She said as she stood next to hank

After reaching the enemy line, the melee began. He was forcing his way to the Imposter. The regulars kept the minions busy, it was just Goldie and him...

Cezary saw Golden Age rush in, and continued to lead the charge, watching as his small force cut a bloody swath toward the Imposter. "Alright sir, I'm leaving that fellow for you, no one will be getting through to interrupt you. Company! Circle up and make sure no one gets in or out. Other than that, fight as you will." He looked around as he saw his soldiers take to the order with a frightening enthusiasm.

Colgate heard the voice "okay! Bye!" She yelled obviously scared and sprints out the house.

 

Hank seemed unfazed "look. I dont want any problems.. im a timelord. Im not afraid of anything.. but death."

 

Celestia gulps "im not afraid either!" She said as she stood next to hank

The house takes on a darker tone, an almost malicious tone in its voice. "Yes... You... The Chronomancer... I've heard PLENTY about you... What would you do if I flooded this room with Huon radiation? Or maybe I should just invite a few friends... I believe they're called 'daleks'?"

 

Lydia sees Colgate run out and stops her. "Hey, why are you running? Is there something in the building or did you just leave a casserole on?"

[kappa214 76]

Hank gulps "look. Dont harm my wife. Please! You can do anything to me just dont harm my wife and friends!" He yelled.

 

Celestia starts to back away "hank.. im scared.."

 

Colgate shakes "a scary voice was heard! I knew it was haunted!" She said as she looks really paranoid wanting to run off.

[~/XC- BRONY\~ 310]

JT looked at Lydia and said, "holy shit! i guess there is a demon!" he laughed and grabbed his Gun, "well might as well try to put some holes in it.. unless its friendly"

 

Rocket looked shocked, "colgate you alright sweetie!" he ran up to her and wrapped her in a huge hug

[longgone 873]

Golden Age sheathed his sabre and picked up a musket "Right, you tyrannical fanboy, time to put you down!" "And why would that be?"   the other replied with a smirk. Golden Age made a move, hitting upwards upwards, but it was blocked swiftly  "Firstly, because you're evil. Secondly, you love that oppressive little heathen!" He tried going for a downward blow, but it was also blocked. "Yer a good little swordsman, stole my moves didn't ye?" The Imposer nodded, before making a suddenly jerk that caught Golden Age off guard. He fell down.

 

"It appears you are not the better man" The Imposer said with a grin. Golden Age leaped up and tackled him, taking out his dagger and trying to stick it in him. He head butted him, giving him enough time to stab the knife between hit ribs. Golden Age got up. "Shame you loved that bastard...who knows, you and I could've teamed up to take her out. Ah well, no matter."

 

"This..w..wil not go unpunished!" The Imposer said, coughing up blood. Golden Age laughed. "By whom? Celestia!? Ich tun nicht geben ein fick! She's the embodiment of the devil! She's corrupt, she's greedy, she needs to be put down! She may fool you with her charms, but she's nothing but a cruel, heartless, tyrannical beast! Y'know... I almost feel sorry for you. You, like so many others, were fooled by her. There are times when I think I should stage a coup, y'know? Ah well, tell those Solar bastards I said hi for 'em if you get the chance to meet 'em." He said, before stabbing his sword into the Imposer's heart. He sheathed it, and walked towards Cezary. "Let's get back with the rest of the lot" he said, putting his hand on Cezary's shoulder.

Hank gulps "look. Dont harm my wife. Please! You can do anything to me just dont harm my wife and friends!" He yelled.

 

Celestia starts to back away "hank.. im scared.."

 

Colgate shakes "a scary voice was heard! I knew it was haunted!" She said as she looks really paranoid wanting to run off.

 

The house giggles. "You think a little negotiation will stop me Chronomancer? I'll have you know that every sensor and microchip in me is telling me to just kill you on this here spot. How about this, you lot pass my three tests, and I won't kill any of you!"

 

JT looked at Lydia and said, "holy shit! i guess there is a demon!" he laughed and grabbed his Gun, "well might as well try to put some holes in it.. unless its friendly"

 

Rocket looked shocked, "colgate you alright sweetie!" he ran up to her and wrapped her in a huge hug

Lydia nods. "Let's get going. I think you're right. You wouldn't happen to have something more substantial than this you can lend me, would you?" she said, gesturing to her service pistol.

 

Golden Age sheathed his sabre and picked up a musket "Right, you tyrannical fanboy, time to put you down!" "And why would that be?"   the other replied with a smirk.

Cezary sighs, flipping a throwing knife into the imposter's skull. "Fuego para fuego, ceniza para ceniza. Just another threat averted. Let's take a stock of the wounded and get the hell out of this godforsaken forest. I think we'll have to have a nice long talk with Herr Fuhrer Sun-ass when we get back to the greater Canterlot area."

[longgone 873]

Very nice to meet a fellow lad who hates 'Der Dame von Holle' as much as I!" He turned his attention to his comrades "Those who can walk and use both hoofs, assist the wounded. We're moving out at the routstep" 

 

(OOC: Wanna just magically skip to Canterlot now XD?)

JT smiles and grabs the other gun and tosses it to her, "here ya go, now lets go in there cautiously, i dont want the defense programs to get us in a bad way" he said, getting into a defensive stance and slowly and cautiously approaching the PACE building.

(Agreed bro, would you like to make the jump, or should I?)

"Agreed. A lot of people seem to be completely obsessed with all the good she does, but I see something totally different from what they see. I'm just glad I'm not alone on that."

 

JT smiles and grabs the other gun and tosses it to her, "here ya go, now lets go in there cautiously, i dont want the defense programs to get us in a bad way" he said, getting into a defensive stance and slowly and cautiously approaching the PACE building.

Lydia smiles, catching the gun and moving to the door. "Alright. We go in on three... I know PACE defense programs, it won't activate unless we are seen as a threat."

JT smiles, "sounds good." he ducks down and get ready to enter, (alright, no sudden movements, i dont want to be seen as a threat, that would definitely be bad news for me" he loads his dester eagle and waits for lydia to make any type of move towards entering the building

[kappa214 76]

Hank sighs 'okay.. what are the tests? I dont want anypony hurt though."

 

Colgate was wirh rocket outside hugging him "m scared. What if they all die?!"

 

Luna smiles "thats a great idea!"

 

Celestia sighs "what are the challenges? And please be fair about it. Is it only for timelords?"

[longgone 873]

(You can make the jump. And this is my last post 'fore I go to my comfy bed :3)

 

Golden Age smiled "Hah! Sometimes I wonder if I should start some sort of coup. It'd probably fail, and I really don't wanna end up hanging from a scaffold for "high treason". At least I'd die for freedom's cause."

(Roger sir! Commencing jump! *Throws down Battlestar Galactica-style accelerator.)

Cezary looks shocked. "Wait... Equestria isn't a government by the people for the people? You can't just vote someone out of office or at least have an opposition represented in the ruling party? Shit... I didn't realize that..." he says as the walk into Canterlot. "I think I'll call JT now that we have reception." he says pulling out his phone. "Hey JT! Where are you guys? Golden Age and I just got out of the Everfree and I would like to know how y'all are doing."

Hank sighs 'okay.. what are the tests? I dont want anypony hurt though."

 

Colgate was wirh rocket outside hugging him "m scared. What if they all die?!"

 

Luna smiles "thats a great idea!"

 

Celestia sighs "what are the challenges? And please be fair about it. Is it only for timelords?"

The computer giggles again. "You guys sigh a lot, you know that? As for the tests, everyone can participate, and I will be FAIR. Nice is another story. As for the first test, that's your job to figure out.. good luck!"

 

JT smiles, "sounds good." he ducks down and get ready to enter, (alright, no sudden movements, i dont want to be seen as a threat, that would definitely be bad news for me" he loads his dester eagle and waits for lydia to make any type of move towards entering the building

Lydia counts down and then opens the door. "Lydia Oksaras, PACE authorization code 44534! I'm coming in, so keep your goddamn weapons down!" she steps into the building, checking both leading hallways. "Alright JT, it's clear... you can come in."

Hank pulls out a sonic screwdriver "listen to me! i will kill you right now! i can disable  you!" he said as he starts to turn on the sonic screwdriver and the computer can feel like she is slowly dying "stop messing with us now!" he yelled hoping she will stop

The computer feigns a scream, then starts to speak in a chiding tone. "Threatening to murder someone ALREADY chronomancer? You are already failing the first test, and this is the easiest one! Though... I shouldn't be surprised that someone with as much blood on their hands as you do goes to murder as the first option. Think about this next time you try to kill an AI, the only way you could do it is to fully disable the central computer, and I'm quite sure you don't want to do that."

Hank sighs "look. computer.. i am not good with tests.. seriously stop. i dont want anypony or human to get hurt. so please. just stop the test. i wont take it serously as long as my wife is safe." he said as he holds Celestia close as they kept walking around the halls

[~/XC- BRONY\~ 310]

Rocket smiled, "its alright, there all pretty smart with danger, im sure nothing will be wrong."

 

Cascade smiles and says, "well then, lets go rory!" she said as she walked towards the door

JT answers his radio, "we just entered the PACE building in ponyville"

[FractalMoon 378]

Hank sighs "look. computer.. i am not good with tests.. seriously stop. i dont want anypony or human to get hurt. so please. just stop the test. i wont take it serously as long as my wife is safe." he said as he holds Celestia close as they kept walking around the halls

The computer's tone is a bit somber. "There. You passed the test. Each test I give is tailored to the kind of person I'm testing. Yours was simple Chronomancer, all you had to do was show mercy, humility, and a willingness to compromise in a way that didn't leave you as the sole beneficiary at threat to the other party's life. Your friend with the sun on her ass still hasn't passed her test, but she will have an opportunity soon. My name's PACE oversight AI 14-B, but I usually go by Sally. Why don't I show you back to the entrance." The computer said as it highlighted a path back to the entrance. "And in all honesty, you could do so much better for a wife than that sun-flanked strumpet you have there."

Rocket smiled, "its alright, there all pretty smart with danger, im sure nothing will be wrong."

 

Cascade smiles and says, "well then, lets go rory!" she said as she walked towards the door

 

JT answers his radio, "we just entered the PACE building in ponyville"

Cezary walks with Golden Age to the PACE building, cautiously walking in and smiling as he sees JT. "Hey man, long time no see! How have you been doing since I disappeared on my little adventure?"

Lydia scowls "why in hell did it take you so long to get here? Do you know how stressful it is to think you found someone after four years and then lose them again?"

(ouch thats a bad idea for what sally said. for some reason.. i am thinking of giving hank a suit like in iron man.. i dont know why..)

 

Hank growled "i will not leave my wife.. and she is the best. i dont care what you say.'

 

Celestia sighs "why do you hate me? is it because your programed to? i am a really nice pony.. lets just sit down and talk.."

Rocket smiled, "its alright, there all pretty smart with danger, im sure nothing will be wrong."

 

Cascade smiles and says, "well then, lets go rory!" she said as she walked towards the door

 

JT answers his radio, "we just entered the PACE building in ponyville"

Colgate sighs "just by judging by the building.. whoever is in it might hate Celestia.."

 

Luna smiles and nods following them.

(I don't see how it's a bad idea to say what I said, I just write my characters how I think they would want to be written... As for the iron man idea, we do already have a character with a version of Extremis that's closer to the comics than the movie was, so I can and approve of it.)

The computer giggles, then continues warningly. "Be careful strumpet. You're coming quite close to failing the test, and we wouldn't want that... Would we? I don't hate you, and I'm not programmed in any specific way. I just think that the mighty Chronomancer here could do better than a princess who can't even fight her own battles. What happened to the great Solar Tyrant, who could face down Discord himself without flinching? Did she die so a hollow recreation could be used as a trophy wife by a time-traveller?"

celestia sighs "look. i am not weak, i can fight my own battles, ponies dont want me to because im the princess. they would do anything to protect me.." she frowns "it feels like your trying to break up our relationship.."

 

(okay.. well.i might give hank one of iron mans suits, ill have it in when he actually needs to use it.)

[~/XC- BRONY\~ 310]

Rocket sighs, "we'll it is a pace building... I'm getting pretty nervous about it too."

 

Cascade looks at try and says, "wait.. Why am I leading this crusade?"

 

JT smiles and says, "hope your adventure was good, mine involved buffaloes, angry friends, and a drunk night" he laughed

[FractalMoon 378]

celestia sighs "look. i am not weak, i can fight my own battles, ponies dont want me to because im the princess. they would do anything to protect me.." she frowns "it feels like your trying to break up our relationship.."

 

(okay.. well.i might give hank one of iron mans suits, ill have it in when he actually needs to use it.)

(It would probably be better to foreshadow it a bit {though nowhere near the level of foreshadowing I tend to give, I tend to overdo it a bit.} so the other characters see it as a natural curve and not a powers as plot demands them thing. But we all have our own styles, so do it however.)

The computer's voice becomes Celestia's own, quoting what she said earlier. "Hank... I'm scared... Does that REALLY sound like someone who can fight their own battles? Methinks you're just too scared to admit he has you wrapped around his little finger, but I'm not trying to hurt your relationship, I'm just stating facts."

 

Cezary frowns a bit. "Damn... Mine involved imposters, a civil war, and several realizations. How drunk did you get exactly? I need a baseline for tonight."
