Culture Buck

A pony named Culture Shock comes into Ponyville, claiming that changes have to be made after the Storm King attack proves there's holes in their culture and tradition that could be taken advantage of. Nopony makes good friends with him after he is an insufferable jerk about tradition including Ponyville's traditional restraint on magic in periods where it's appropriate, and even Death Coffin is disgusted with his insensitivity, even with the understandable reasons behind his beliefs and how they were born when he had a home village that was destroyed by threats because of their outdated traditions, and was incredibly concerned about the lack of being a proper country and instead looking too careless and vulnerable, further proven after the Storm King attack. To seek answers on how to convince the 'stubborn' ponies of Equestria, he aims to find the soul of Queen Virginia, the alicorn goddess of tradition, preservation, the hearth, home, and chastity, as the final clue to her location is in Ponyville. But Thunder King and Valkyrie Queen return and have been trying to stop him so that they can have more time to plan revenge, but Culture lures them off his track by having them attack traditional towns that have open holes, which hope to enforce his point. When the Lodgers who were hunting Thunder and Valkyrie discover that Culture was using them and they aim to kill him when they discover this as Storm Clan members are intolerant of being used like with Storm King and Tempest, the heroes must do what they can to stop this chaos once and for all.
