Wheller


Surprise!

Okay.....this is shaping up to be a good, old-fashioned knock-down, drag-out fight scene. Cool!!!!

ok this is it....for reals this time.

And my axe, wait.

Oh, my. A huge-ass confrontation between all the lunatics on the playing field. I think that somepony else is using the solution "Throw Twilight Sparkle and her friends at the problem until it goes away." Too bad for Celestia that the Other who's doing it sees her and Luna as the problem.

Oh, crap. It's rocks-fall-everypony-dies time, ain't it?

So, it's welcome to the world of MagiTech, eh?

i believe it its....

oh god i hope some MagiTech comes in.

i love the discorse (is that the right word i think it is:twilightoops:) between Mr. Happy and Dr. Nightly, i just read Happy's lines very mater-of-factly, just adds my own level of warped dark comedy to the fic

Well, that's it for him. Now for the real problem: Crazy Idiot Luddite Abomination-in-the-eyes-of-the-gods Celestia.

So Twilight and friends are becoming the monster they think Celestia is, nice :rainbowlaugh:

Princess Celestia isn't protecting them, the job of a government is to protect the people, her's isn't doing that. Thus, time for things to change.

I don't deny any of that,her fear of technology and the "enemy" within Equestria did all though, she just wanted peace and he ponies to be happy (ignorance is bliss).

There's other ways then killing and killing and killing. A civil war should break out in the chaos that will be created(the Royal Guard will get slaughtered but hey).

Luna was an ally yet Twilight will have to kill her too. Either she will help Twi take down Celestia to be backstabbed or she will die along with Celestia. The Sisters are going down either way.

But who will lead Equestria then? Twilight and her friends? CMC? The Cult? Will Allies become enemies in the struggle for power?

And the other nations finally having a chance to take Equestria , there is no way that would go unused, and with how you made magic look i don't think there is anyone to teach how to use the sun and moon,is there?

Equestria cant defend itself on a large scale right away and once in control the other nation(s) wont just let them retake it.


Don't answer any of that ill just see how it ends and be happy with whatever you do,i wont complain about the ending however it will be i pinky pie promise :pinkiehappy:

Not, of course, that Celestia sees it that way. In her mind, she's done a lot to protect them from the horrors of a technology that will inevitably displace her. In her mind, someone kept ignorant like Applejack is better off that someone like Katrijn or the average cheval on the street. The fact that said ponies would sacrifice a virgin to an Other in order to gain access to the technology she bans owing to its freak-like-her-killing ability is not something that would occur to her.

kill Celestia... damn you just raised the epic bar 10000000 times, and now i'm sad because it is the beginning of the end of the end (i hope that made sense) i look forward to the next chapter

Ah, the perils of getting rid of a load-bearing boss and her dragon. Ah, well. At least with those two out of the way, it's all up to the mortals to do stuff now.

i love and hate the ending of series's all the pent up bad assery, shocking twists, questions answered, the final epic showdown between good and evil. how will it end! will it end like All Good Things, will it end with Twilight and friends becoming the new leaders, will they all die in the end. i dont care just as long as there is a good dénouement ill be happy (i would be even happier if you then posted a blog a week later saying "ha ha i lied now on to story series four!" but i respect your decision to end it there)

Well, now that they're a normal country with mortal rulers, things are about where they're supposed to be.

And thus we leave the world in which our characters live in good hooves.

Fuck. I never liked Mr.Happy to begin with :facehoof:

Rambo Trixie is best Trixie

Dafuq? So it was Luna who was the insane amish leader this whole time? :twilightoops:

And here I was saying it'd be too radical a change if the princesses really did get toppled in your unverse.

Bravo! :pinkiesmile:

And so, the Lone Writer finally relaxed his fingers from the keyboard, and set about finishing Mass Effect 3 :trollestia:

I was partly afraid the ending would sound less like an actual ending and more like a cop-out, but this is perfect, and the Fallout-esque ending paragraphs sold it to me :rainbowlaugh:

Once again, bravo, and out of curiosity, can we get a grand total wordcount?

352630 wordcount is about 437k. 437335 with all the warnings that series needs to be read in proper order. For comparison, Lord of the Rings trilogy had 473k words and Fo:E had 610k.

I typed up a really long comment, but then FIMFiction decided to delete it, referring to a database upgrade. I'm not going to type it up again.

well, this was truly an awesome ride. i wouldnt be suprised if someone did a spinoff of this series like FoE...

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANTBRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT! also i would love to thank you for writing this, i remember reading putting the pieces back together (i was on a Dr Whooves kick) and that was when i first joined the fandom and would open ten different fics (including the next chapter or two) and have them all done by Sunday, but yours was always the first. you where also one of a few writers that kicked my ass out the door and helped motivate me to get a fic written (the ice storms that NH got also helped to)

And so ends a journey....I thank you for writing the whole series, it was an amazing read, and a entertaining one at that, I think i'm gonna end up with this, maybe later im gonna continue reading more of your stories
I gotta say....still a better ending than ME3
Also thank you again for writing I loved it all the way :twilightsmile:

What have you done to Luna? You monster

And so ends that...
What the hell am I going to do now?

Well. This series has inspired my effort at writing, and without much exaggeration, I'd say that many of my popular philosophies in life have actually been affected by this masterpiece. I do dearly hope to get a hardcover copy of all 2000 pages someday. Thanks for the great week's worth of reading, at about 10-12 hours of reading a day! DQ Out!

All stories in this series need to be printed in paper and preserved in archives. I simply love this universe, it contains most of my favorite themes and elements.For me, it's masterpiece.

Well, now I can get back to Parliament!!!! I've caught up!!!

I understand things now!!! Sort of!!!

Finally, after three days, I have read the entire series...:moustache:
Wait, there's more???:pinkiegasp: Well buck.:facehoof:

Honestly, the plot twist with Luna was just, painfully stupid. It didnt really make sense at all to me.
