furyheart chapter 1

image: a cloud city with a tower upon a high spur of the clouds

text: high above the Everfree forest

the images zoom in upon the high tower panel by panel

when at the highest zoom, there is a single "beat panel" pause, and then an explosion erupts from one of the windows

image: a pegasus stallion falls, trailing smoke behind him. he falls into a vortex of clouds and into the Everfree forest

he falls down down down, and then lands with an enormous thud and explosion of dust and smoke on the forest floor. the contrail slowly dissipates in the wind, and blows away, along with the explosion of particulates, leaving a silent scene

text: thank you for reading dear viewers

image: a crater with steam and dust rising out of it

text: a few hours later

image: a pegasus with a desaturated deep purple coat (Furyheart), and a deep red mane pulls himself weakly out of the crater. he collapses on the ground

image: pure black with a tumblr message

text: what is your earliest memory

image: forest undergrowth, blurry, and through part opened eyes

text: what is your earliest memory

the eyes blink, the image of undergrowth becomes clearer.

text:what is your earliest memory

image: panned out view of the pegasus in the forest. a robot floats in front of him

robot: what is your earliest memory

pegasus: shhhh shhhh sh sh, hold on... shut the hell up

beat panel

pegasus: ahh, that's better

the pegasus rights himself and questions the robot, who explains that he is tumblrtron X-thousand and is here to assist him with all his tumblr needs (did i mention this was the script for my ask-furyheart.tumblr.com? cause it is)

the pegasus answers a few asks in a pithy and sardonic manner (also establishes that he has no memory of the pre explosion times)

image: nighttime; several changeling drones strafe the canopy of the everfree forest, looking angry as hell

image: a changeling new queen (like a young chrysalis) stumbles through the brush and into a clearing. she spends a panel sitting on her rump and looking forlorn when she notices someone talking in the clearing.

text (from between trees): robotron, i demand that you begin making sense at once

image: the changeling new queen looks through a bush and some vines at Furyheart berating tumblrtron. she  grins.

text: changeling (laughing to self): heh huh hoooo- easy prey

image: her horn glows, the pegasus has a brief glimmer in his eyes, and she is surrounded by a shimmering green light as her body shreds into a new form

image: Furyheart is arguing with the tumblrtronxthousand

text: changeling off screen: my love! thank goodness i've found you!

image: Furyheart and tumblrtronxthousand look at the 'camera' with blank expressions.

text: Furyheart: uh... what?

changeling: my love, it's me, i've been lost, i'm so glad i found you.

Furyheart: do i know you?

changeling: don't you remember me?

Furyheart: should i?

changeling: well of course (thinking: my magic should make you recognize me as whoever you love most... unless)

image: panned out view of the changeling, completely unchanged from her original appearance

text: changeling: oh balls

Furyheart: hold on! do you know who i am?

possibly a beat panel, image: the changeling gets the ol' lightbulb look on her face

text: changeling: yes of course my darling. what happened to you?

Furyheart: i don't remember. i just woke up to this tronbot harassing me

tumblrtronxthousand: danger danger

changeling: oh just ignore that.. thing. we have each other, that's all we need. nopony else.

images: they draw close, Furyheart is enthralled. they loom over the inevitable kiss for a panel too long. both equines recoil as a crossbow bolt whizzes between them and lodges with a shudder in a tree.

text: shove off you parasite!

image: the changeling hisses and runs, as three ponies (two earth ponies and a unicorn) enter the clearing.

text: furyheart: no wait

image: the changeling vanishes leaving a hopeless looking furyheart

image: the three ponies rush around furyheart and form a wall

text: pony: and stay gone!

image: the ponies turn to furyheart

text: unicorn: good thing we saved you when we did, eh mac?

image: furyheart is speechless for a panel

text: honestly i'm not too sure

furyheart concept outline

for starters, this is an outline, and details the extended plot of the comic, even if you intend to read only the script of furyheart and not wait for me to get off my ass and draw the comic, this is heavily spoiler oriented.

if you're willing to get things completely out of context then go ahead and continue

furyheart is thrown from the tower

meets tumblrtron

meets changeling, who is being chased by her own kind

changeling's powers don't work, but she finds a compromise

a group of ponies rescue furyheart

after some talking one of them notices a thing on his forehead

brushes at it, and it falls off, a transparent tube

everypony looks up at the horn now visible on furyheart's forehead, he screams

after some study, the unicorn speculates that it is in fact a pocket universe

the unicorn reaches in. after a moment he starts struggling to take off the tube of reality, but cannot, and begins screaming

he pulls out the bloody stump where his hoof used to be, and collapses from the pain

what happened? expansion of the miniverse pulled his hoof apart

that's all the short term stuff i have so far

in the long run, eventually everypony will discover that fury heart is from a long line of alicorns. he would have been in line as leader of his clan, had his cousin Little Boot (aka Caligula for those who don't know latin [no for real, Google Caligula if you don't understand]) not totally destroyed his face up in the tower on the clouds.

Furyheart's other cousin Frozenheart is hunting for him. this is a pseudo penance for her being related to Furyheart, to prove that she is more loyal to the clan's leadership than her close relative, and the way things "ought to be"

meanwhile Little Boot is absolutely tormenting the rest of his clan, and that's about all i've got at the moment
