Very Cool story! The villians from the Midnight Castle special were always some of the coolest and most evil from the old series.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty bad ass. There are a few word use issues, but I can't complain about it seriously. I look forward to me.
ReplyDeletePlease no Megan, please no Megan, please no Megan...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind seeing sea ponies though -- come to think of it -- think MLP:FiM will ever have sea ponies?
ReplyDeleteHey, Gojira007 posting anonymously here; just wanted to let Anon #1 know that no, Megan will not be appearing in this story; she doesn't need to. Her role in the original was to be the perspective character for kids, but since FiM treats the mane six as the characters the audience is supposed to connect with already, her presence isn't really needed.
ReplyDeleteAs for Sorrowful's question on Sea Ponies...well, wait 'n' see. ;3
Oh man, I am so loving this story so far! I was wondering when it would update again.
ReplyDeleteIs this dead? :(
ReplyDeleteShoop-eedoop, shoop-shoop-eedoop
ReplyDeleteIt's alive! ALIVE! MUAHAHAHAHAH!
ReplyDelete...no, really. I thought this one had been abandoned. Glad to see it is still going strong.
@Ddude28 @starcat5: I'm moving through this one slowly, for which I apologize, but there's a lot of stuff I'm trying to keep on top of besides this story, so expect updates to be slow. But rest assured, I have EVERY intention of seeing it through to the end.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its because I've read an awful lot of grimdark or sad stories recently but I appreciate despite the situations feeling desperate there were certain lines or moments that managed to sneak a few chuckles out of me.
ReplyDeleteFinally got around to reading this. So far so good. So VERY good. So "Not quite as good as chocolate but almost as addicting" good! If it wasn't for dA refreshing the ads ever 10~30 seconds, it would easily be BETTER than chocolate! ^_^
ReplyDeleteBut back on track here. Gilda out of nowhere was quite a twist. It is quite clear that she is eather the Mole, or this was the fastest Heel/Face turn in recorded histery. Normally I'd say that second part jokingly, but Scootaloo, Dashie's #2 fan is involved. It really COULD go eather way.
Now onto the subject of Scorpan. Anyone who has seen the episode this story is based on knows that the entire plotline is basicly his redemption arc. That said, it is the journy, not the destination, that is important. The Show's Scorpan already knew Spike beforehand, so all it took was an ill timed threat upon the baby dragon to set things in motion. However, in this story, Spike and Scorpan have never met before. I long to see a flank load of charector development between these two before the end.
...and speaking of ends, please, PLEASE don't turn Scorpan into a human/pony! That little twist in the show made me want to pull out my eye teeth! Not that a transformation sequence is bad, but there are better options out there. Considering that he has served the Big Bad for countless thousands upon thousands of years, and any land he may or may not have been prince of would have been ground to dust and forgotten about LONG before Luna went Nightmare Moon, let alone modern times. He could have been a dragon, leading to his empathy twords Spike. He cound have been a Gryphen. He could have been a talking Rabbit for all we know. Maybe even a surviving member of the lost race of Flutter Ponies. I have a preference for Dragon or untransformed, but as long as it isn't a human or one of the standard three pony races, I can't complain.
Man, this is a pretty cool story. It's a shame that this thing seems to be dead.

Not dead, just in Development Hell. New chapters (hopefully) coming soon.
I've got this in my Bookmarks folder. If I didn't have to leave for work, I'd read it now.
