While the first several guards fell under the unexpected wave of violence, the rest quickly banded together to beat the earth ponies back. Ungrateful whelps, deciding to attack them after they had given them all the amenities they could. However, many of them continued to fall under the onslaught; there were simply too many to handle. Eventually, those that were left banded together in a small circle, trying to fend off their attackers. However, just as they looked to be overwhelmed, there was a sudden surge of magic, and all the projectiles on the field suddenly slowed to a stop in the air. Sakuya stepped forward, her horn glowing. "Really now, you can't handle one group of earth ponies? *sigh* All of you, go back to where you were. What was it you wanted to accomplish with this riot, anyway?" |

Noblesse jerks his head to Sakuya to indicate to Legacy that she was in fact the head maid in question. For now he held back on launching the stone with Sakuya's name on it after seeing how easily she had stopped all the other rocks in mid air. That suggested either a powerful TK specialty or the incredibly rare stasis specialty. In either case, the rock would be unlikely to hit it's mark unless it had an imanipitine core, which, it should go without saying, would be incredibly unlikely. It would also mean that a direct attack by any of the Earth Ponies would be unlikely to work. 'Hm, not that THAT is likely to stop someponies' He thought sparing a glance at Rough Cut. Actually, now that he thought about it, that could be the answer. He would leave the talking to the other ponies, like that disciple of Pinkie Pie who was thrown in at the last minute, Summer Joy as she introduced herself. Instead he did NOT subtly shift his way around the Unikirin's right side, that would likely only make her suspicious, but purposefully strolled around her right side, forcing her to choose between paying attention to him or the other PC Earth Ponies. |

That glance Nobel made, had to be a good one. Rough Cut was now upside down, held inside one of Sakuya's fields of Telekinesis; apparently when she was busy grabbing things one had been the purple mare who was at the moment of capture airborne with a flying elbow aimed at some uni-kirin's face. Needless to say the elbow never made it to the face, though the target still flinched. "LUCKY!" She called out as she was dragged way and left dangling by one hoof, the best way to keep an Earth Pony from overpowering the field and breaking out to fight some more. She hung there a bit stunned, but mostly annoyed. Just as Sakuya finished her little taunt a glob of snot filled spit came flying at her head, quick thinking of course would catch it, or block it, but really it was meant to be yet another thing taxing her concentration. "Let me go and fight me like a mare!" Rough yelled at the leader of this camp's rather inept guard squads, "Come on!" She made the appropriate gesture while her face slowly deepened in color to a purple maroon. Prepared though, if ignored she hawked another and spat at the guard again. Rough was not about to take no for an answer.' (OOC: I Know I skipped, but I thought it best that Rough get her belligerence out of the way BEFORE it had the chance to derail legit diplomacy. Without further a do Summer's up!) Edited by Lorventus, Sep 25 2012, 12:41 AM.

Summer Joy hadn’t managed to find the popcorn that had been so rudely removed from her person, and was slightly upset how likely it was that it had been eaten by somepony else. She made a mental note to get these unikirns back for their gluttony. Nevertheless, she watched Rough Cut struggle against the head maid for a small while with a mocking giggle - barely concealed by a hoof - before waltzing straight into the magic-user’s field of vision from the right side with a happy smile on her face. “I dunno. But it looked like fun!” she announced, idly flicking her head sideways to get her somewhat messy mane out of her eyes, looking between fearful and angry faces alike in a search for one similar to hers – needless to say, she didn’t find one. All that was left to contain the attention of the head maid, although Summer doubted any of the earth ponies actually had a plan for that time. Well, it couldn't hurt either way. Her gaze returned fully to the magic user. “Hey, do you know the way back to Ponyville? I must have taken a wrong turn at the train station there…” The blue-maned pony looked around with pretend confusion, hoping to spark a little guilt or even anger in Sakuya. It wasn't the best of ploys - she looked so full of pride, however, that Summer was almost certain she would take the bait. Edited by Aeralylic, Sep 25 2012, 04:18 PM.

Legacy paused for a moment, thinking as she strolled around to the mare's left side in a circular motion. You know what they really really needed at this moment? Legacy nodded to herself. She wondered if what Icefox had mentioned was actually possible. She wondered how it was even triggered. It wasn't like she'd actually be happy with the foal anyway. That was a stupid dream. Stupid dream indeed. She wanted the foal out now. What a wonderful distraction indeed that would be. And little did Legacy know, that by merely thinking that she had already started the process. She collapsed as she aborted/intentionally miscarriaged the foal right there on the field. Edited by yew, Sep 25 2012, 08:23 PM.

Sakuya blinked a bit at the stallion not bothering to hide as he tried to move out of her field of vision, and he suddenly found himself trapped in another stasis field. Of course, this meant letting the various projectiles start moving again in slow-motion, but the guards all sidestepped them and two held out a net to catch Rough when she made it that far in a few minutes. As Legacy collapsed, she motioned for a few guards to go help her, rather than bothering to deal with her herself. Given how she was barely in Sakuya's peripheral vision, she couldn't see all of what had happened and didn't understand why Legacy had collapsed. "Yes, well, rioting has it's place, just not in my country. Go find whatever moon goddess did this and riot at her for a while. If you're not doing that, simply stay put. Guards, give them what they want, just don't let them leave. You are not prisoners; we simply need you to survive. Stay, and we will provide you with whatever luxuries we can. Leave, and we drag you back and chain you to the ground. Understood?" |

Rough Cut's brain went into stasis lock along with her body, not that it would have mattered, everything else was moving at a snail's pace. Her frame of reference of course she landed almost immediately and was engulfed at a terrifying speed by a net. In fact for her it was already over. Unfortunately, that would be several minutes (2-3 Post cycles) from everyponyelse's now. Her eyes strained to track even the slowest of moving ponies around her, her ears failed utterly to process the sounds assaulting them. Though to others she seemed slow, to herself everything else had seemed to be moving super fast, except her. |

No rioting? Well, this mare was certainly boring. Then again, most magicky ponies were – she certainly knew a few back in Ponyville a lot like this Sakuya. Summer Joy didn’t look at all impressed by her response, giving her an idle stare even as the mare next to her collapsed for a reason the blue-maned earth pony didn’t know. She decided to just stay put and keep doing what she was doing – there wasn’t really much else to do. “So, is that your way of saying that I can have a map and go say hi to Luna? I’ve always wanted to meet her, y’know?” she asked hopefully, no longer sure why she was trying to keep the head maid around for any longer. The earth pony lifted a hoof to her chin in sudden thought, looking away from the magic user for a moment. “It’s nice and all around here, but you guys kinda make it boring. Speaking of, I could also really do with some more toffee popcorn…” she said as she trailed off uncertainly, ignoring the sudden guards moving past her to approach Legacy. |

Legacy was still until the guards came close, then lurched up and gave them quite a lashing. They'd been taken by surprise because she was bleeding and what not. Legacy set her gaze on Sakuya. Hell. She had nothing to loose. Literally. Nothing. So why not do whatever she could? Legacy's eyes drifted for a moment, then she looked at Sakuya again. "You've got about thirty earth pony hostages here. In merely holding Noblesse over there your other stasis fields are weakening. So. You literally cannot stop us. If you didn't want a riot. You shouldn't have kidnapped us. Imprisoned us. So…" For a moment she had thought that the voice coming out of her throat wasn't her own. It sounded too different… But… Legacy got up, shaking her hind hooves off of the prolific blood that had pooled. Well that had been a failure as far as a distraction went. Oh well. At least the foal was out. And dead. Kinda hurt, the process had buuuut… She'd had worse pains. Her life had been a living nightmare for months. It would feel nice to reciprocate that to this unikirin who thought herself so mighty. To all of them. "So… You know what my favorite book is? Fillies of the Fields. Soo…. Lets play." Legacy ordered the NPC earth ponies, who rocketed off all at once. The earth ponies were hidden by the long stalks of vegetation hiding them within moments. This would make the unicorn's range distance a moot point. You couldn't magic what you couldn't see. Legacy started backing away and smiling. The mare could keep her here. But she had shown her hoof. She had shown her limits with binding Noblesse. Sayuka wasn't strong enough to keep them here. Legacy rubbed at the swollen scar at her throat, both the talking having been a little bit too much for her. It had been months since she had spoken. But it would be worth it. She wanted them to feel the terror she did. To be afraid. This was right out of a horror novel. OOC: Fillies of the Fields= Children of the Corn, a Stephen King novel. |

Sakuya nodded to one of the more badly-wounded guards to go back to the castle. "Get a replacement and have him bring this mare her popcorn, and get yourself to the infirmary. I don't want you on that leg again for the rest of the week." He hobbled back to the castle, while Sakuya grinned as the earth ponies scattered into the field. This would make things much easier. "All of you, spread out around the perimeter of the field, twenty lengths away from the stalks. Anything that moves, shoot to stun. They'll serve our purposes just as well unconscious." She raised her voice, yelling at the ponies within the field. "You hear that? Either surrender and live in comfort or hide in the field. The choice is yours, but you're not leaving." |

Summer stayed where she was, watching the scene unfold with a keen interest. A new unikirin came along and passed her a bag of popcorn with magic, carefully balancing it on a hoof. “Thanks! And here I thought you’d eaten all of it. You’re great, you know that?” she said excitedly, taking small nibbles from the bag afterwards. The blue-maned earth pony had no idea where the sudden dramatics had come from, but they were certainly well timed – she had popcorn! And apparently, the earth pony she had talked to before could talk! She didn’t think Fillies of the Field had been that good of a book though. Well, at any rate, she got the reference Legacy was trying to make; not that that mattered. “Ninja ponies versus magic! Not very original, but I can deal with that.” Edited by Aeralylic, Sep 27 2012, 03:09 PM.

"Never give up. Never give in." Legacy just smiled as she continued stepping back. And quoting an awesome movie. That smile didn't look quite… Right. Her mouth was smiling but her eyes were hallow and not saying the same thing. They were leaving. Indeed, they would be leaving tonight. The silence stretched on, interrupted by only the occasional rustle. The guards were in the positions that their leader had ordered them into. More silence. Then very well about twenty massive rocks sailed at Sakuya and the unikirin at once. And why wouldn't they? Noblesse had made it clear that she was the strongest one of all. Taking her down would effect the morale of all the rest. And she had just isolated herself. She was all alone. In a field of thirty or so earth ponies. To which she hadn't the slightest clue where they were. This would be too much for Sakuya… She had been reaching her limits at what she already had. Now she had twenty massive rocks flying at her at once. And if that didn't work somehow, there would be a surge of earth ponies to beat her down. There was that one unikirin. But big whoop there. Two unikirins versus twenty earth ponies. They were screwed. "Checkmate." Legacy said, that same mirthless smile on her face as before. This hadn't been her original plan. |

Indeed, it would've been far too much for Sakuya to hold onto. However, she didn't need to; her guards were well away from where they had been, and so she dropped her first stasis field before concentrating on the next. It was hard, and the rocks were still moving at a solid trot, but it was enough time for Sakuya to get around them before dropping to her knees. "Ugh...Why do you hate us so? What did we ever do to wrong you? All we want is to survive. We gave you everything! EVERYTHING YOU COULD'VE ASKED, AND YOU REBELLED! WORTHLESS, UNGRATEFUL PONIES! I...I won't forget this. We will meet each other again, never forget that." The guards hauled over Rough, who was tied up inside the net. "What should we do with this one, madam?" "Take her back to the castle, and leave her in the dungeon. Let them know the cost of their rebellion." |

Rough was back in the Now and she was just a bit shocked by her situation, what'd just happened?! As she looked around everything was different, the groups had moved and spread and condensed in different places, her experience with magic was limited, but even she knew this power: Stasis. It acted a lot like TK except it required more effort and didn't actually grab or move things. It could be overwhelmed just like any active cast area of effect spell. She knew about it, because a scant few of the best surgeons in the Order used it to perform nearly Sisters honest miracles. She didn't remain idle as she was dragged to Sakuya. She figured out that she was in a simple capture net of knotted rope and that would be easy to exploit. She laid still for but a moment as she was presented to Sakuya, quickly getting into a wide stance inside the net, her hooves planted on the ground through the generous holes in it. She glared levelly at Sakuya, "High and mighty lead bitch of the guards, you take dozens of ponies captive, imprison us against our will and expect us to be grateful?!" Now she finally got to hawk that lougue from a few posts back, it was a good big glob of gross too. "I'm not a subject of Mane-Ji, I am a Subject of the Solar Sisters, a citizen of Equestria and I'll warn you right now, no dungeon can hold this miner's daughter." She lifted one hoof and gave the ground a mighty stomp that created a dent far deeper than it should have, the earth responding to both the touch of an Earth Pony and the kick of a miner. A quick look at her side revealed the pickaxe in stone that was her cutiemark, the thing that powered her most potent skill, breaking rocks. Her display done she scowled at Sakuya, aware that with just three guards she could be lifted up in the air and be completely incapable of escape from the net in the short term. |

While it may not be the most... honorable course of action, Noblesse's foremost priority was securing the safety of his subjects regardless of what it takes. Thus, when Sakuya's stasis magic faded due to her being distracted, Noblesse, after a quick glance around to get him caught up on what happened, stealthily slunk outside of Sakuya's range of vision. Once that was accomplished, he bucked the rock with Sakuya's name on it in a high arc until it was almost like a mortar shell falling from the heavens. At the same time, he charges forward, low to the ground, to aim a punishing Savate kick, powered by his Earth Pony strength at Sakuya's core. One attack from the heavens. One attack from the earth. Both equally punishing and both moving at a velocity that TK wouldn't be able to stop them. Stasis could though, however the angle of the attack was such that if Sakuya turned her attention to one attack and stasised it, the other attack would hit. |
