WELCOME TO EQUESTRIA

@TheFinite Twilight: “well we’ve kept it decentralized, most of the manufacturing is happening in griffonstone because apparently the Royal guard i thought I knew since Spike has hatched, has the maniacs as far up as guard captain… the guys out there and in here are mostly the science division, and the national guard reserve belonging to ponyville. the main force, bringing the heavy hardware, is a bit of a ride away, barring the use of the chronogate.
we struck a bit of a deal with the modernization faction back in griffonstone, since our engineers were already there and the spare materials would have just gathered dust they would modernize the infrastructure for permission to stay… it’s probably the second most modern city after manehattan now… aside from the historicl old city center of course.
everything else i need to keep quiet about because apparently the inner sanctum of this castle is in fact not offering sanctity either.”

Vigil: “yeah, there’s a reason we stick mainly to transportation, clean energy and medical science around Equestria, it’s the griffons that got set up with the heavier hardware. we talked with the dragons about anything they might want but they are apparently content with caves gems and lava… and causing problems… spike is a busy guy these days.”

Fluttershy: “bad people, people who want to use them, and if they are as strong as you girls… they could be a lot more dangerous when used by that kind than they would be by themselves.”

Rose: “that would be the easy part… except of course you will need to ride on my back.”

“as stealth technology is the very heart of our combat style.”

@Cerebrate19
OOC: Uh, isn’t Whistler coordinating with the salvage teams in Ponyville right now? Last page, he was still there.

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Geralds head clicked, Stranaii taking over for a bit

Stranaii: “In regards of your own guardsmen being traitors, it’s entirely possible that they were loyal to you during your raising of this dragon but were corrupted later on in life. From the memories I’m able to access from Gerald, it seems this ‘Kane’ individual has ways of making others fall under his unflinching will…I almost commend him”

Gerald: “Of course an ‘Emperor’ like yourself would see some talents in him…”

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Shelly: <<WOAH WOAH WOAH, BACK UP VIGIL! There are dragons in this world as well?>>

Shelly: <<And I thought seeing actual equines was a miracle but griffons and NOW dragons? My world would have a hard time believing what I’m seeing currently>>

@Cerebrate19
Boomer looked around for Bloodrose

Boomer: “Uh, no offense but kinda hard to do that when I can’t see where your back is to jump onto…”

@Revan0123
@Cerebrate19
Matias: I notice something was off “Shouldn’t Bubbles be back by now? It was only meant to be a quick checkup, right?”

Blossom: “Most likely just helping any animals that got stuck”

Buttercup: “Or got distracted by a baby whale…”

Matias: I gave an odd look to her

Buttercup: “What!? I wouldn’t put it past this world!”

Matias: I looked back over to the balcony “Hmm…”

Bubbles: “When and where did Miss Mousekewitz said she found Boomer? Maybe we can track them down by their footprints…or hooves in this case”

Meetra hummed. “This is a fascinating world you have here. I’ve seen a fair amount in my travels around the galaxy, but it feels like I can get a lot of that on just this one world. It’s strange thinking about a world having so many cultures within in, when one’s used to the scale I am.”

@Revan0123
@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
Twilight: “until he revealed his involvement we thought it was just a disabled psionic, which reminds me, the disruptors need to be double checked once we’re done here, i am sorry stranaii but i’m afraid the mirror pool is unavailable for now.”

Vigil: “oh yeah, bunch of high school jocks and delinquents, until they turn adult, then they are just reclusive sleepers with bad attitudes.”

“honestly this world is tame when it comes to diversity, back on my and papa’s world of origin, if you count all the local nuances, you’d see between 127 and 150 distinct cultures granted, technically all human but you can appreciate the difference between a mandalorian and a coruscantian.”

Fluttershy: “she said it was near the large fissure, if you and your sisters hurry you may catch him.”

“that was just a demonstration, as soon as the distraction unit is on the field we can get started.”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Stranaii: “Understandable. Considering the threats we’re facing have ways of subverting our superiority, it is best we are prepared before we venture forth into that accursed forest again…”

Gerald: “Another thing I can agree upon, that forest is not for the faint of heart”

Gerald: “We already have enough on our plate, lets not overdo it today. Besides, after the stunt they pulled last night with Whistler and Shelly, it’s not like the Brotherhood would try the same ‘Enter castle to steal something’ plan twice…”

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Shelly turns to Vigil with a curious look

Shelly: <<’Mandalorian’…‘Coruscantian’? You know something about Meetras world I don’t?>>

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Boomer: “Distraction unit?”

@Cerebrate19
@Revan0123
Bubbles: Looks out window “Okay” Looks back, smiling at Miss Mousekewitz and Fluttershy “Thanks for the help you two” Floats to outside of building Hopefully, we can sort this problem with that mean Rowdyruff within the day” Zips away

Blossom: “I don’t know, Mojo-Jojo tried to do just that…”

Buttercup: “Yeah but he was an idiot”

Matias: “Very true. Had he just made you girls into dogs again and then immediately threw you into a super durable cage with no way out of it, he would’ve won on his second time round…”

Buttercup: “…”

Blossom: “…”

Utonium: “…”

Matias: “Umm…thank goodness idiocy hit him that day”

Bubbles: Zips in “GIRLS! GIRLS! IT’S IMPORTANT!”

Blossom: “What is it, Bubbles?”

Bubbles: “It’s Boomer. One of Fluttershys animals managed to locate him, near a large fissure in the Forest. She said if we hurry, we can catch him”

Blossom: Looks to Twilight, the magical field containing two Rowdyruffs and Bubbles “Should we, Princess?”

Buttercup: “Why not!? Do you WANT him to get away with all of this!?”

(so… if finite feels he has nothing to add, adding that would be fine too.)

(Sorry, some days RPing is more difficult for me. And sometimes I have a bit of difficulty figuring out exactly what to say, hence Plant Man’s current silence.)

“Fascinating… And another being with knowledge of my galaxy, and yet I suspect is not from it.” Meetra said. “I feel there is something being hidden from me.”

@TheFinite
(no biggie really, do not worry.)

@Revan0123
@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
Commandomare: “no need to worry, they’ll announce themselves well enough when the time comes.”

Twilight: “if you’re sure you can do it, it’d be better to have them all where we know they are, him lending his super strenght to kane can only end badly. go we have the others handled here.”

yelling and screaming rang out near the forest border again, this time frenzied suited up ponies wearing the scorpion emblem were charging the town, they were armed, and all looked the same.

Yuri: “i admit, a cloning machine is useful for the alterations that can be done, but if a puddle does the same without needing energy, why not put it to use?”

WHistler: “… we should have turned that blasted pool into icecubes and relocated them to a secured vault. call in the deltas, we need their expertise on large amounts of weak enemies!”

OOC: Wasn’t I doing Yuri the last time I used him?

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Stranaii: “A mass of bodies approaches…”

Gerald: “Huh?”

Gerald: “_{It hasn’t even been ten minutes…}”

Gerald: “Bad news, everyone! Seems the Brotherhood decided today’s the day to come fight us…”

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Shelly got annoyed by Vigil’s silence on the matter

Shelly: <<I’m talking to you, Vigil! How do you know about her world when I don’t->>

Shelly: <<What the carp?!>>

Night Hunter (Boss): “On me, team! We’ve got hostiles in the town and the robot salvage operation is in jeopardy!”

Fang Hunter (Sev), Rapid Haste (Fixer) & Thunder Force (Scorch): “Yes sir!”

Shelly: <<Wait what? I thought the trouble was over?>>

@Cerebrate19
Boomer was about to say something when, suddenly, he hears many battle cries and screams in the distance

Boomer: “Heh…nice timing on your part”

(It IS the Mirror Pool, you know? That’s an easy enough explanation)

@Revan0123
@Cerebrate19
Matias: I gave an annoyed look “Well, they came at a great time…”

Buttercup: “Exactly! Now we can teach those Brotherhood creeps who’s boss!?”

Bubbles: “But what about Boomer? We can’t just let him get away while this commotion is going on”

Matias: I went out to the balcony and observed the battle raging in Ponyville “If he were there, I’d recognize his move set or even him zipping around. He must still be hiding somewhere recovering”

Buttercup: “Yeah, that ‘somewhere’ being a large fissure!”

Blossom: “Girls, lets focus on getting Boomer back to the castle and put in with his brothers”

Buttercup: “WHAT!? You’re just gonna let the bad guys in town go unscathed!?”

Matias: I turn around “Well, what’s the alternative? Stay in the town and let him get away?”

Blossom: “Matias is right. While a group of bad individuals are attacking Ponyville, it’s not like the Equestrians are defenseless on the matter”

Matias: “Yeah, they have Delta Squad, the Peacekeepers AND those mercenaries. Not to mention Meetra & Plant Man from earlier. I think they’ve got the situation handled as is”

Utonium: “Just be careful out there, girls. That forest holds many dark secrets”

Blossom: “Don’t worry, Professor. We’ve got it handled”

Bubbles: “Yeah, that mean old Boomer ain’t getting away this time!”

Buttercup: “Well, it’s gonna suck missing the fight but if it helps in the long run…”

Blossom: “Girls, lets move out!”

Matias: I watch them zip away to the forest, flying over the battle in Ponyville “Good luck, Powerpuffs” I turn to the remaining group of Utonium, Twilight, Rainbow, Gerald and the contained Rowdyruffs “So I guess we’re the ones on guard duty for these two then?”

Meetra saw the commandos gallop past her. Something about the armor had a ring to it, not familiar but…
Regardless, she knew that her job wasn’t done. “DeeAy, I need you to stay here with the Princess; You need to be fixed up, but you should be able to help protect the Princess. Something feels… Off about this.”

“Posso fazer isso.” Plant Man replied with a nod, which Meetra returned, tapping into The Force to sprint and keep up with the commandos, her robe fluttering as she ran, pulling her lightsaber to her tallons but not yet igniting it.

@Revan0123
(sorry, but compared to kane he is the cloning man and i had to keep it at least a little surprising.)

@Cerebrate19
OOC: Fair enough then. I can always bring in another version of Yuri, if need be, since Multiverse crossover with this world justifies that.

@Cerebrate19
(Waiting on you, Cerebrate)

@TheFinite

Scout: “yo, when metal pieces and bolts go flying is one thing, but it’s gonna get real messy here soon pantman, you wanna get these two to canterlot.”

Vigil: “Shelly, i’ll tell you everything but they have a point we gotta run now.”

Whistler: “one thing after the other, engineers, get to cover, peacekeepers, you know what to do, first row, shields up, the rest, fire for effect.”

Cryo legionnaire: “today’s forecast, a freeze is coming.”

Commandomare: “now clamber up, we need to not pick a fight while they are busy picking one.”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
Gerald: “Seems to be that way. Lets move these two no-gooders to somewhere else in the castle. Hopefully, we can meet Texty along the path forward”

Butch: “_{Huuhuhuh, what’s this about?}”

Brick: “_{How should I know, genius?! All I know for sure is that something cool is happening right now and we’re not apart of it!}”

@Cerebrate19
@TheFinite
Shelly: <<Fine…but I better get that explanation when we’re safe, Vigil!>>

Shelly: <<Are you good to move without help?>>

Thunder Force (Scorch): “Aww man, I wanted to make that pun!”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “Aren’t yours the more explosive type?”

Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Can it, you two! We’ve got objectives to accomplish!”

Night Hunter (Boss): “Deltas, move to the Peacekeeper line. We can use the shields for cover. Scorch, lay down explosive fire to thin out the enemy. Sev, snipe targets of opportunity when you can. Fixer, you and I will support the Cryos in their task! Lets clear these tangos out and secure the town!”

Thunder Force (Scorch), Fang Hunter (Sev) & Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Yes sir!”

Night Hunter (Boss): “Are you holding up well, sir? A field like this is normally not a place for a civilian”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Boomer looked up to see some coloured lines approaching over the town. It was the Powerpuff Girls, they must think he’s still in the Everfree Forest…unfortunate for them

Boomer: “Right, lets get going!”

@Revan0123
@Cerebrate19
Matias: “Assuming we can move the bubble without popping it…” I turn to Twilight “Only magic users can move this bubble, right?”

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
@Revan0123
Buttercup: Flies over battle in Ponyville “Man, they could’ve used our help”

Blossom: “They’ll be fine on their own, Buttercup. I wouldn’t have made this decision if I wasn’t confident that they can handle it”

Buttercup: “If you say so…”

Bubbles: “Blossom, I see the fissure. Over there”

Blossom: “Good spotting, Bubbles”

All 3 PPG: Zips to location

Bubbles: “Now, if Miss Mousekewitz was correct, Boomer should be around this area”

Buttercup: “Miss Mousekewitz? Who comes up with these names?”

Blossom: “Buttercup, we need to concentrate. If Boomer’s around this location, he must be hidden somewhere nearby”

Plant Man smiled at Shelly. “I can manage, but thank you for your concern.” Then, he got himself over to Twilight. Interestngly, he seemed to have enacted a form of his Plant Barrier, except it seemed to have a repairing effect; While it couldn’t repair severe damage, it should help him keep together long enough to get properly serviced. Finally, he got to the Princess herself. “Plant Man, DAN-001, reporting for guard duty.” He stated with a flourished bow.

Once again, Meetra tapped into her dark powers as a Sith Lord as she lit her crimson blade, throwing it to cut through multiple foes. She let out a scream that seemed to pierce into the soul as she let loose another power. While at first it seemed like a version of the Force Storm she had used before, it was purple and locked onto eight foes, draining the life out of them and giving it to her. While battling massive robots wasn’t something she was used to, though she had done that once, being vastly outnumbered by inferior opponents was a different matter.

@TheFinite
OOC: Was that intentional that Plant Man just ignored Shelly’s question as he walked off?

@Revan0123
(Sorry, my bad. Lack of sleep might be a factor.)

@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
as the screaming mass of ponified cultists met their ill fates, and made some tracks of their own with their weapons, the commandomare made sure to move quietly, she had no idea if the three superfillies zipping around had enhanced hearing but she knew better than to test it.

Twilight: “it’s a specialty of our family, so yeah they can be moved. Plant man, if you could help me with that, that would be great… the attack out there, it is uncoordinated, they just aim to make noise and cause damage, with the mirror pool they can probably afford it but there is no goal behind it… a diversion no doubt, but one that needs to be dealt with.”

Whistler: “i have done my tours of duty, soldier, not in an intergalactic scale but with men like my peacekeepers, and the same equipment i put in their hooves.”

Medic: “incoming!”

whistler: “those would have been nice to have back then.”

Vigil: “alright, should be safe here… well, i promised answers, where should i start?”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
Gerald: “See, Matias, what did I-”

Gerald: “Good to see you’re still in one piece, Plant Man. That earlier battle with the giant robot must’ve been a knacker to your systems”

Gerald: “To ask up about something you said earlier, Princess: A diversion to what exactly? Like I said, they wouldn’t be THAT stupid to do the same plan around here twice…”

@Cerebrate19
Shelly: <<Well, first off I-…I…>>

Shelly: <<Amazing…>>

Shelly: <<Anyway, how do you know about Meetra’s world at all? Didn’t you say that you and your father came from a different universe with different technologies, ideals and cultures altogether?>>

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
The squad witnessed a griffon suddenly entering the field with a red saber and pulling out dark powers on the enemy. Scorch was perplexed by the situation

Thunder Force (Scorch): “I don’t know about you fellas but that doesn’t seem like something a Jedi would do?”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “I don’t think we’re dealing with a Jedi here…”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “And yet they’re not turning around and making us into Geonosian smoothies?”

Rapid Haste (Fixer): “What’s our orders on this newcomer, sir?”

Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Sir, what’s our orders!?”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “A simple shot to the back would simplify things”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “Oh yeah by ‘simplify’, you mean ‘death-wish for all of us’!”

Night Hunter (Boss): “Cease any fire around them, focus on other targets. Let them handle theirs”

Thunder Force (Scorch), Fang Hunter (Sev) & Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Yes sir!”

Night Hunter (Boss): “Have you seen that Griffon before, sir? What do we make of them?”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
As they travelled, Boomer remained silent in order to reduce noise. However, in his mind, he was thinking loudly about his mission

Boomer: “Brick & Butch are gonna hate me for this…but if they live to complain, they still live regardless. I won’t let them become prisoners to a bunch of pansies! We’re Rowdyruffs and when this is over, we’ll be Rowdy once again!”

Boomer: “I may not have liked it much but that same green energy on them will be very satisfying in the end…”
