Rise of the Cyber Ponies

The Rise of the Cyber Ponies Limited-Time Story was first held on January 01, 2021 in Update 6.7 and runs for 3 days. It was re-held on June 11, 2021. This event is based on the Friendship is Magic comic (Issue #24) and does not have a Community section. This is the first Blitz that doesn’t come from the Cutie Mark Map.

Fluttershy: Okay... The house is nice and clean, I've my best tea set all laid out... and I'm all ready for weekly teatime with Discord!

Fluttershy: Oh, I look forward to this every week, no matter how many times we meet for tea! I wonder which blend he'd like this time... Maybe cranberry? Or an herbal blend?

Fluttershy: And for snacks, I made some scones out of weird leftovers I had laying around the house... He really likes these for some reason. It's just part of his charm, I think!

Fluttershy: Right, right. Just a few finishing touches and I'll be ready to greet my most special friend...!

"Aww... I know Fluttershy has a lot of animal friends, but there's just something special about her and Discord, isn't there?"

Fluttershy: He should be coming aaaany minute now. I'll just sit patiently... (Ouch, my cheeks hurt from smiling!)

Fluttershy: La di da... Oh, hello Mister Butterfly! You look so nice today... Hmm... The sun is so nice and warm...

Fluttershy: Um... Wait, is Discord running late...? H-how strange. I know the concept of time means nothing to him, but he ALWAYS shows up on time to our tea parties...

Fluttershy: Wh-where could he be? Uh, um, m-maybe I'll go look for him... I hope he's okay.

"Oh nooo! Somehow this is the most dramatic moment of my week! Discord BETTER not stand up my pal Fluttershy!"

Discord: BAMF!!! Fluttershy! THERE you are! I've been searching all over spacetime for you, my dear! ... But I guess it makes sense you'd be exactly where I expected.

Fluttershy: (I won't be upset... I WON'T be upset...) Um... Discord, where were you? I fixed the chip in your favorite teacup... (And did you really just say "BAMF" out loud when you teleported here...?)

Discord: Although NOTHING would make me happier than sipping daintily from that teacup, I need your help! Rather, the FAR FUTURE needs your help! Against ROBO-PONIES!

Fluttershy: H-huh?!

Discord: Yes, I'm afraid so. Robo-ponies from SPACE. I think your companionship and signature stare would probably work well against intergalactic enemies in a sci-fi setting, don't you?

Fluttershy: I... um... maybe?

colspan="4" I... don't know what's going on. But it looks like Discord and Fluttershy are having fun?

Each attack costs 1 Energy and gives you 25 - 150 (60 on average), which can be used for upgrades. Each attack deals damage equal to your Power. Energies take time to regenerate.
Upgrades increase your Power, maximum Energy cap and decreases the charge time for each Energy.
You Start with 10 Energy and 12m cooldown per energy

Discord: Whew! Wasn't that both pulse-pounding AND heroic?! I must say, you cut quite the impressive figure engaged in mildly referential futuristic adventures, Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Oh, um, I guess so... But, I didn't have the chance to bring my tea set along... and I was really looking forward to sitting and talking about, uh... NON-cyber-pony-related things.

Discord: Oh me, oh my! And here I thought perhaps you were yearning for something more DANGEROUS on such a humdrum day... but I know you better than that, don't I?

Fluttershy: It's okay, Discord -- I still had fun! I-I've never been in a space battle before, a-and I felt very safe with you there!

Discord: Ah, I do so adore that attitude of yours. Here: I snagged some future tea for us to sip and chat over in zero-gravity. I hear future tea has a surprisingly complex aroma!

Captain Dash: Captain's Log: We survived the onslaught of cyber-ponies only thanks to two mysterious strangers from beyond spacetime. I will never forget your kindness, Discboard and Buttershy!

Space Sparkle: Uh, I think you might not be remembering their names correctly, but--

Space Sparkle: *gasp* Captain! They've made off with all the future tea!
