Suddenly, the bat-pony remembered something important. "Hey um....I gotta get going." He told her, quickly chugging the entire mango drink down his throat and quickly getting up to leave.
"I normally just drink enough for multiple people, to make up for the robots. Do you know how to make a warp core breach?" (Recipe found here: Club Myst ) "Can I just get a warm glass of milk?"
"Oh, yeah, I can make that. Just hope those bots really protect your liver." Maya got to work, quickly producing a glass of milk, the getting to work on that warp core breach.
After inviting him into his office, Blackheart read the papers that Rep had handed him. When he was done, he set them down and sighed. "So what would you like me to do about this?" ************************************** Nightshade laughed. "Hell no. Maya'd kill him, Dusty'd kill him, and then I'd kill him."
"In that order? Brutal." Raven snickered. "Alright, let's go. I kinda want this fight over in... a couple posts?"
Through the magic of narrative jumping, Nightshade and Raven found themselves sitting in uncomfortable seats at the Cannonball Run Memorial Colosseum, watching Azrael beat the tar out of his opponent.
One, if you could tell me how much of the public knows what has been obtained. And two, if you could spread the information within the city?
But it wasn't so simple this time around. This hippogriff was tough, it was clear that he had earned that title of his. By the end of the first round, both were covered in scrapes and bruises. Az's magic inhibitor kept his healing factor from kicking in. Asmo was down in the front row, yelling, cheering Az on. "Come on, bro, kick that birdhorse's silly ass!" ~~~~~~~~~ At the bar, Maya had the brawl on on one of the TVs. She visibly winced by the end of the first round. "Dude. This is the first time he faced another champ, that I know of. Looks like this'll be tough..."
"So how do you think the King would do against either of them?" Megatron said sipping her milk. "In this body in a fair fight I'd loose hands down. Even if I have speed on my side I don't have the power to do more damage than it looks like they can take. In an unfair fight where I can attack with my femites, well that depend on what kind of magic they have and how smart they are. If they could keep my blows from connecting I can't infect them. I could still use the environment to my advantage, but if they're clever enough it wouldn't be that big of an advantage. It does take time to make spikes come out of the ground." In all honesty she thought she could take either one if she could go all out even in her current form, but it was obvious one of the fighters was a local, so she didn't want to cause trouble by being to boastful. If she recalled correctly Lio mentioned something about the bald unicorn possibly being a mind reader. She was going to have to keep her guard up even if it didn't seem like he was around at the moment.
Nightshade yawned. "I don't get it. Why is he holding back?" ********************************************************************* "Almost everything is a matter of public record," Blackheart replied. "A few of the more dangerous or controversial technologies are still under review." He walked over to the picture window and looked down at ponies walking below. "However, simply making the information available has changed very little. Equestrians are set in their ways, Representative. We have relied on magic for centuries. It works for us. Simply put, most ponies don't need technology."
Aye, that has happened many times before, but the reason why I showed up today, is due to, a trivial matter to some, and I admit, it is somewhat trivial, I've received knowledge and evidence of a lack of distribution of such things as recipes and formulas, including several critical medicines, so not insanely trivial. I do apologize for not making any sort of appointment, and if I ended up wasting time, but I hope you understand why it is important that the formulas get delivered. If you can help get the formulas spread around with a bit of your influence, it would be appreciated. Or spread awareness that they are available, and where to find them?
"I don't know," Rave replied. "Maybe this guy's just really strong?" The bell rang to begin the second round, and the hippogriff got cocky, trying to charge at Azrael. That's never worked out before. Azrael caught him around the neck, then fell all the way to his back, planting him with a DDT using his own momentum. With his opponent dazed, Az quickly worked him into a ponified kimura lock. The hippogriff struggled, flailed, and ultimately, after fifteen seconds, tapped out. The referee signaled for the bell. Azrael got to his hooves and helped his opponent stand as his music kicked in. The crowd went wild. Az took the inhibitor ring off of his horn and let it fall to the mat, wounds from the fight beginning to heal instantly. Then, as a final showing off moment, he cast a bright lightning bolt straight into the air, making the crowd pop even harder. He walked his way out of the octagon after making sure the hippogriff could walk on his own, had Asmo hop over the railing with him, and disappeared backstage with his new best friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't think anypony could take him one-on-one," Maya said honestly. "He's kinda... really tough to keep down. Especially if he's allowed to use that magic."
Blackened watched the screen in excitement the whole time, taking a celebratory swig from the glass as Az won.
"That's how you defend a title." Maya raised her glass. "Cheers to another win! Maybe we should start taking bets." On screen, the hippogriff's injuries were being discussed. He'd apparently taken on a moderate concussion, and a badly dislocated shoulder. He may need to vacate his Crystal title.
"Magic vs Tech that might as well be magic, I don't see a clear outcome. Still Grimlocks fighting days are far behind her." Megatron always wondered just how Lio built machings on the femto-scale or the ones even smaller on the pico-scale. An atom is measured in femto-meters, so how did Lio create a machine that small. Just as Grimlock's Me no Kisser me King days were behind her, her own days as a scientist were mostly behind her. She was an adventure now. Thinking of which... "Does the name Frozen Heart sound familiar to you?" " Megs, I haven't up for those kind of fights since I got my intelligence back so drop it." "Er yes I'm sorry."
"Cannonball was strong," Nightshade said. "Belial was strong. I was strong. He beat us all. Az was fighting like a normal out there. That inhibitor ring shouldn't be holding him back that much." Maybe she was exaggerating a bit, but she knew damn well what Azrael could really do. This wasn't it. A horrible thought crossed her mind. "All this playacting... I think maybe he's going soft." ******************************************************************************************************************************** Blackheart nodded. "I'll do what I can, but there will always be those who resist change. Magic is our way. Not technology." He looked at Rep thoughtfully. "But we're working to change that. May I show you something my company has been working on? We would have to teleport there."
