    Change "taking" to "talking".

    Change "need" to "needed".

    Change "bring" to "bringing".

    Should that be ""into an example of the"?

    Epic facepalm time

    "My first instinct was to kidnap her"

    It's kind of adorable how scared Sunset is of disappointing Grayven but also kinda sad. She really never had a friend before, huh?

    Calling it now: Celestia noticed something is up, finds Grayven and the two fight.

    Also, Twilight is adorkable.

    She really has adapted to human norms, if handling something that has recently been in someone else's mouth is a problem for her.

    Huh, you know i question why Celestia is worried about Sunset reading the books but see's no issues in having a goddamn librarian for the restricted section.

    I mean she literally had an open book on her desk while she was sleeping, i'd say there's pretty damn good odds that that random librarian knows more dark magic than most BBEG's at this point.

    Wait, the whole room is labeled Dark Magic and the thing Sunset had to break into it to find was "Canterlot Castle: A History"? Celestia really does lock up innocuous information.

    I think part of the multiverse confusion with Grayven is that at the beginning it was never really meant to be its own universe? It was just supposed to be an essentially non-canon, "What if Paul had a really bad day before arriving on Earth 16?"

    With the changes being because he was in a shitty mood when he got the power ring fueled by greed and avarice, so it naturally brought his aggression to the fore.

    Then the Renegade snippets more or less took on a life of their own and became something more.

    Also . . . That image . . . Whew. I forgot how cute Sci-Twi was. Glasses girls are, as always, my biggest weakness. I would not be able to resist the urge to flirt.

    IT BEGINS! :D

    Oh, yes... Let the hilarity ensue!

    <Grabs Malteasers> This gonna be gud.

    This gonna be very gud...

    So far, so simple...

    This is going to be one of those stories, isn't it?:V

    I don't think she's in the mood for fatherly reassurance...

    Good point, good point... But... That's not what he meant.

    :sneaky:All right. How much of Canterlot Castle is on fire?

    And Grayven's doing the nose-pinch emote. Something like that should not be left unsaid for a year!

    Yeah, not the kind of book you want to play around with. Was it named the "Necroponynomicon?":p

    ...That you're sure of?

    I do hope she didn't break too many bones...

    Okay, that explains the desire to look for her old stuff...

    <Double Facepalm> That doesn't even begin to explain just how the heck you managed to kidnap Twilight-fricking-Sparkle!

    Hopefully she won't be too traumatised by all this... At a guess, she hasn't gone to Ponyville yet.

    I think Celestia would like to have words about your choice of reading, Sunset...

    I don't know how Grayven hasn't started heading the wall yet. I know I would be.

    ...That's a good point.

    Also a good point. But kidnapping should not be your first go-to!

    Ah, your optimism is stirring, Grayven. But we all know things aren't going to go that easily.

    Cue panicked screaming in three... two...

    Ew. And telling about her adaption to human form, as @oct9101 noted.

    Huh, no panic. Just endless curiosity. That's Twilight Sparkle summed up in a single line.

    And a sensible - if short - answer to Twilight's question. I think they're going to get on well.

    Liklihood of that going well: low. Murphy's spinning up the old 'potential mishap' minigun as we speak.

    And whenif he gets back, they'll be in the Thaumaturgy lab committing cruel and unusual acts of Science!!

    Murphy: Screw the minigun, I'm busting out the mishap nuke for this one!

    And so 'Grayven's adventures in Ponyworld' begins! Place your bets now on how badly FiM Canon will get mangled by the time this is all done!

    Celestia: "Fiend! What have you done with my apprentice?"

    Graven *Stumbling around trying to get used to having knees made of ankles* : "I didn't-" *Sound of grey pony face slamming into the ground*

    Celestia: "Do not toy with me, I can feel the hatred of all life within you. You will not deceive me with pratfalls."

    Graven: "Very well, let's pretend that didn't happen." *Attempts to stand. Only makes wiggling gestures with his legs instead.* "This also did not happen."

    Celestia: "Well at least this is less annoying than dealing with Discord."

    How does Twilight know how to operate her now human mouth and make understandable pony language sounds with it? Even with vocal chords, they would have very distinct and different languages adapted to different species.

    Grayven has an Orange ring and Sunset is probably remembering the time she did the same thing.

    Wonder how Gray would do against Celestia if the two fight.
    She can move a sun and a moon with her power and while he is a fairly powerful New God i am not sure if he could win if the fight is more throwing around magic and energy and not more spiritual like when he fought Grayven 50 influence on Thanagar

    And thus Grayven began a long string of well deserved suffering and humiliation.


    Unless Zoat nerfed Celestia rather heavily it would be a curbstomp of epic proportions.

    First! Politics!



    Eh, decades ago. However, I saw and interview with a lady who was accused of this, and she just replied with "When I see an abused kid, I act reguardless of the race.", so I'm somewhat sceptical.

    A friend of my parents was a Doctor, spent some time donating his expertise in Aborigonal comunities, where he saw some real horrors. Often, kids remained in terrible danger of more abuse because, after the "Stolen Generation" stuff, they weren't allowed to take them from family.


    I'm not enough of an expert to say what happened back then. I've just seen enough to make me wonder.

    Uh, you know Celestia isn't actually that strong, right?

    Like, every fucking time she's ever been shown to be in a fight she performs extremely poorly. Her ability to move the Sun and the Moon has nothing to do with her actual power.

    Regular ass ponies can do the same thing with as little as 12 unicorns. The only difference was that most of those unicorns would lose their magic. Celestia and Luna felt revitalized when moving the Sun and the Moon.

    It's really more a function of their special talent than it is an indicator of raw power.

    Not that I necessarily think she's weak, but I certainly don't think she's hot shit. Because let's face it, if she was half as strong as some of the crazier fanboys think she is? The alternate timelines Starlight created wouldn't have come to pass.
