Episode 16: Wakeup Call
>>434856
A catastrophic miscast later… you are still standing.
Feeling a bit ragged and coughing magical particles, but standing.
>>434857
You can hear the echo inside the gauntlets as you smash a pair of faces with them
>>434858
However you are not as fortunate, getting slashed by a guard's weapon
>>434859
You bash one guard, and Chell calmly shoots another through one ear and out the other.
"Target-eliminated-requesting-new-target"
>>434860
You warp a pair of them into the air, and they grab hold of the turrets, dangling helplessly off the edge of TIARA's leg
>>434861
And finally you slash one of the wounded, bringing him down.
The remaining guards gang up on you as best they can, but don't cause much harm.
4 guards are helpless
3 are wounded
1 is dead
4 remain at full health

Dreams of things you feel need to be explored.
Dreams of your friends?
Of your wife?
Or perhaps… your father?
>>434863
You smash the four, making them reel
>>434865
Your bolt ignites his coat ablaze, and he keels over, rolling and screaming.
>>434866
The guard stands back up, hefting his weapon
Even if death, I still serve.
He and Codar then move to protect you, swatting away guards
>>434867
You hear bones shatter and metal bend as his armour collapses into his organs, sending him down, coughing blood.
>>434870
You are lucky you didn't lose an eye looking so intently at a blade.
>>434869
Kilana's wounds heal swiftly by your blessing
>>434868
Chell takes a moment to process the command, and gets shoved aside by a guard who then slams the haft of his weapon into your jaw

You kick him over on the ground and slam your blade through him, killing him
>>434873
Look at you, great Crescent. A growing might as your name well suggests, still far from that which he can become. But on this day, on this great hour, you will get but a taste of what you will one day wield.
Powering up the wings, you leap into the air, do a spin and land with a heavy slam, denting the very armor of TIARA as you reduce your foes into a fine wet powder of meat and metal scraps.
And it feels right.
This is the power you should wield.
For you are destined for greater things.
>>434875
If you wish to dream of speaking to anyone, just ask.
>>434874
The healthiest among them drives his blade into your chest, but by some miracle you remain standing despite the pain.
>>434876
You take a stand upon Codar, your scythe, tattoos and eyes glowing with power that darkens the sky and resonates within your undead minions. The immense abomination of bone and sinew.
The foreboding raven circling above
And the soldier, who went from comrade in arms to a terrifying undead foe in but mere moments.
As you speak your command, great beams of sickly light lash forth from all your minions, grasping at the hearts of your terrified foes, clawing at their very souls, ripping out the life in them, leaving them but rotten husks devoid of flesh or breath.
Such is the power of the future Underqueen.
Behold it, ye mortals, and despair.
>>434877
You pull a package from the hat.
It reads [RAPE: 30lbs]
>>434878
The screaming, near skinless guard leaps onto you, spreading the flames!
>>434879
You slash at the remaining guards, who almost go down.

>>434886
"Target-selected-stand-by-for-execution"
And in a clean shot, the wounded, panting guard dies
You and crack the skull of one of the helpless, killing him.
>>434888
You take aim and snap off the guard who Liviana brought low
>>434883
>>434884
>>434887
But it seems the burning guard still has something left him him, as he screams and flails, spreading flames and bringing Smouldering down!

It seems the operation is done, and you have been brought to… a workshop?
"…how do you feel?"
>>434890
You finally kick him off you-
>>434893
-making him slam into Crescent-
>>434894
-before falling on top of Donric-
>>434895
-and getting splattered by Kilana.
A small pendant seems to be hanging on his neck. It was hard to see from all the flailing, but seems entirely unharmed by the fire even through his flesh, coat and uniform are all ruined.
>>434891
Your healing comes just in time, fixing the badly injured Smouldering, who will have some new burn scars to show off.
All guards are dead

I'll nod.
"Alright then. After we hit the first weapons stockpile, we'll split up. One team takes as many explosives as they can carry and cripples as many legs as possible. Expect resistance. The other team will work on blinding TIARA and taking out more weapons batteries. Agreed?"
I'll nod.

>>434927
I'll nod.
"Well enough. Lord Blackmane, Smouldering, and Kilana can handle themselves fairly well, I should think, so they'll be the second squad. Lady Liviana, you, Master Donrick, Chell, and myself will move to the observation decks after and attempt to blind TIARA. After that's taken care of, we'll knock as many of the guns offline as we can before it reaches the city."

"Right."
He takes a large engraved bolt with a sharp tip, and a few tools
"Don't worry. If you feel anything that just means the healing process will be faster."
He then begins screwing the bolt into your shoulder
>>434947
Marked and noted.
Head out any time.
The weapon controls and leg shaft are nearby.
The closest targeting control is a bit further away.

"Sure thing. Sure thing… EQUESTRIA PREVAILS!"
He grabs one of the cannon rockets and throws it at you
Everyone in the room, roll to dodge
>>435000
You teleport over to the others, and out of harms way. No need to roll to dodge.
>>434991
You broke into one of the weapon turrets
>>434964
You can take it. It's just enchanted iron after all.
After some time, the bolt is set firmly
"Now to build the base of the limb…"

"That comes later. But I can make the bottom of it padded so it makes no sound when stepped on."
>>435034
You are just shaken and cut up, not helpless.
>>435026
Barely.
Your skin looks even worse now, as the burns and deep cuts slash open the pockets of dried blood and dead flesh, making it ooze all over you, as the last hairs on your tail and head burn away.
>>435031
But on the bright side, Liviana keeps you in combat shape!
>>435032
Your magic is acting up again. You almost hurt him there.
>>435033
Thou both stop in place at your command
>>435036
And Kilana puts an arrow into the heart of one
>>435040
They are just standing there like idiots, held in place by Id.
>>435038
You bring him down with ease, he doesn't even guard himself.

"Indeed. We might have to overcompensate with explosives instead of having a bit more finesse."
I'll think a moment.
"Though, if all the weapons batteries are as stocked as these, all it would really take is one bomb in the pile to set off the rest."

After a lot of confusion and arguing you realize the explosives are in neat stacks near the cannons, and golem arms are leading them.
You can each carry 1d3 ammo, and it takes 6 to blow up a single part.
>>435072
Yes.
'1d3'
>>435078
It has the loader arms, the viewing end of the target finding orbs, the ammo racks, and the cannons' rear ends.

TIARA lurches violently as it compensates for the loss of balance.
WARNING! WARNING! DAMAGE TO LEG FIVE DETECTED! FULL ALERT!

Two hits
Two kills
By these great armoured hooves, may the will of the north be known.
And may it be written in the annals of war, that Waxing Crescent was the one to deliver that will.
Both guards are crushed to a pulp against the wall.
>>435252
Your blow sends him reeling

However it cannot keep up the stride it had a while ago, and is reduced to a shaky hobble.

"I only counted those that fell by our own blades.
And yes. I still stand vigil over this city. This capital to an empire I inherited from my father, and which I leave for my daughter.
The North has its own guardians now. And I am needed here, where the subtle blade is at times all that stands between this peace we fought for…
…and another war like the last one."

Not that you could have heard words anyway, over Nylis' screaming.
…remember when we were all just kids out in the yard, playing, getting into scuffles, causing mischief?
Really makes you think, doesn't it? Where it all changed so much. Where those kids became the men and women that for a brief moment decided the fate of the very world we know and live in…"

All kinds of pain.
Because believe me. I, too, thought I had long since grown immune to pain. But I was proven wrong. Very wrong."

"They made it because of the choices I made.

I stabbed by childhood friend in the throat and held her down until she drowned in her own blood."
Fall Harvest does a little cheer and dance as she wins in her imaginary fight, then puts the sword away and goes tell her mother.
"But my daughter can now doze off on the laps of my wives in the evening sun because of it."
And then the little filly climbs up onto their laps and falls asleep. She has had a fun day. And now she would really like a good night's rest.

If you need reinforcements, I can come in person or send in as many troops as you need. Just make sure they are not blown apart on the way.
I can begin bombarding TIARA with our artillery as soon as it's in range. I was going to aim for the cannons, unless you have other plans.
Remember, your first priority is to stop TIARA.
Your second priority is to secure Rivetstrike
And your third is to secure the plans of that machine so I can repair it. It was designed to be a building machine, so it should help greatly with Northscrown.
…Good luck, my friends."

"Well it involved removing the foreign objects from there, patching up the lesions while keeping your blood flowing via a manual pump and some hoses, breaking apart a small area of your chest cavity, reinforcing the now-expanded ribcage to avoid collapses, inserting delicate, small scale golem-based armatures and a sterile sack, connecting this all up to your body and healing you back shut.
So now even if your biological heart would die inside you, the sack and arms will keep going.
On the downside, you now need to speed up or slow down your heart rate willingly. The construct only knows how to maintain pace."

Indeed several red lights on a map of the craft show the damage you have done, and a countdown is rolling on the main panels.
Sharing this room with you are two ponies.
One in a sleek bodysuit, mask, and a strange mechanical rig on his back that extends arms around him.
The other in simple workpony gear, an apron, a few pendants, and a set of tools.

But swiftly stand up as as Liviana heals you
>>440080
You also aid Waxing
And Iris gets up, as Codar mauls the mechanic
And Rivetstrike pulls out a throwing dagger and tosses it into your chest, dropping you helpless in the blink of an eye
>>440082
Kilana's scream distracts you, and gives Rivetstrike a chance to slash you
>>440081
And he leads his flow of motion into also cutting you
>>440079
His shield snaps in place at the last second to deflect the hit
>>440077
And the mechanic panics and screams as his gear heats up, barely managing to dodge Chell and cast Heal on Rivetstrike.

Come then. Throw yourselves at me. I'm not even controlling this thing. Just buying time. And as long as nobody tries to shatter, sabotage or overheat my armature, I cann stand here and take them easily. Not that I need to worry. Even if I do die, the necromachines inside me will keep me standing long enough for Stronghooves to heal me.

All the turrets lock on you, firing bolts through your hooves
The heads turn to you
IDENTIFY YOURSELF

You slam the body into a wall

Before Nylis discharges her misfire sponge into him in a massive beam of light, annihilating most of the body

And the head bites Liviana before finally dying

Id isn't

No, he isn't hiding behind the command consoles up here
>>440207
Identify your purpose
Stronghooves comes to your side
It will only listen to a certain syntax. I can talk, if you tell me what to say.
>>440226
Nothing happens.

>>440259
Oh, he was in the Core Room.
>>440261
There is one.
It looks hazy and in pain, but seems to be recovering.
>>440258
The lower mounted head looks up
Identify yourself. I do not know you.
The higher head turns to look down
Plan Beta Invalidated
Plan Delta Invalidated

Please stand by…

"I am now… thanks… to Highhorn."

I cannot reply.

Dented and bent out of shape.
The other head looks back up
Query complete.
Initiating Plan Omega, as per orders of Lordblade Rampart.
Requisitioning mobile combat frame activation.
The back wall unlocks and begins to slide apart, as the lower head and its pedestal are pulled into the floor.
For a short moment, both heads vanish from sight.

I was not informed of a Plan Omega. This must be Rivetstrike's own idea.
>>440301
Secondary Control identified all of us as Lordblades. A misnomer, yes, but a minor one.
>>440309
You are correct in that assumption.
>>440300
There is one.
The Manual Controls.
>>440318
"I can maintain all of them now.
As I said, I'm fine.
I was a bit dead for a second back there, but I'm fine now."

It might take some time…
But you should be able to figure out the leg controls.
>>440324
Rampart did not have much say over the project once he found out of our Equestrian affiliation.
He was repurposed as Primary Control.
Secondary Control was added to ensure he was unable to interfere.
>>440331
"I do not know.
…but judging from his words… as long as he left for himself."
>>440297
Kilana's leg looks… less than healty. But still attached and all.
You can hear faint rumbling from behind the far wall

"Wow..he must really..Look…I want you to come with me on a trip..To the underkingdom.. you are sending someone to get us? The weapons are off.. I hold back a tear "I just.. Liviana said your wounds weren't that bad.. Did you do something teacher?"
>>440345
>>440348
"R-right. Maybe.. I think it might be better to lose it." '1d10+1' feel the leg, if I can. which one is it
Roll #1 3 + 1 = 4

>>440356
1 left front
2 right front
3 left back
4 right back
'1d4'
And you can feel it. It hurts.
"I had to give what time I had left… to keep Pumpkin alive.
And I will inform Frostmourn. He will join you soon."
>>440357
>>440353
Indeed.
Secondary Control was a close ally of mine and Rivetstrike's. He retained much less will than Primary Control, thus allowing him to focus better on maintaining control over the required directives, rather than thinking.
>>440359
He was more useful alive, and more manageable without a body.

The leg might just pull through.
Try not to get it more smashed up.
>>440372
Sometimes less noble means are needed to achieve more noble goals.
>>440368
I was not informed of a Mobile Combat Frame, but I would imagine he will be coupled into it along with Secondary Control.
Indeed simply destroying Secondary Control, now that he is unplugged from TIARA, should return all command, and free will, to Rampart.
Pause imminent

Yeah sure whatever
Leg's good to go
Sense of danger and lasting consequences are for knobs, spam healing outside of combat is the way of good storytelling.
The back wall opens up, revealing a tall golem-like construct comprised of a set of wight legs on the bottom, a tall torso, long multi-jointed arms, and two heads. One at the top, and one near the chest.
MOBILE COMBAT FRAME ACTIVATED.
