Yes finally
Great start by having more characters involved! I bet that there's going to be some that escaped capture and will help the others later.
Also, can you make some changes from the movie?
9353591
I already did.
9353908
I meant for the other chapters you will post.
9354382
wait and see
9354393
Okay.
9354769
check out ch. 2
Great chapter for everything that happens before the gang reaches the Badlands and explaining where several other characters are. Discord's absence makes sense with this idea. I'd love to see how Capper, Celaeno, and the others are portrayed here.
9365719
One at a time.
Great work on this chapter. Worth the wait with all these extra details added in like Flash's group at the end as well as Fluttershy being able to help show Capper's past.
Awesome!
Yes finally
awesome
awesome!
Yes!! Finally, and whats next
9470457 you're in the right direction, but it goes farther back then Pokemon

Okay, other than the fact that you cut out the musical number, this is actually turning out better than the actual movie.
On that note, I can't believe you cut out that musical number.
I mean, I know it doesn't really add much to the story, but do you have any idea how many exams and stress-filled study sessions that song got me through? A LOT! Speaking of which, I really need to go back to studying right now. 
And yes, I finally got tired of waiting for you to finish the Gaea Everfree story and decided to start this one.
9471411
I'm sorry on the delay of Gaea Everfree, but I just can't seem to focus on that. But I am glad you are liking this...
... mep... sorry... but I did use most of the others...
Oh crud. This does not look good.
9471981
Fair enough, I don't think it gets more bluntly meta, but someone had to state each of their roles at some point
Awesome!
Foxhelm, I know this part is your pet musical number, but this whole scene in general just completely rubs me the wrong way.
I really don't like how it implies that they don't teach stranger danger in Equestria/Mystica.
The cabbage joke was a nice addition though.
You know, Grubber makes a pretty good hype man when he's not running his mouth like a faucet.
Aww, poor Gabby.
Guys, I don't mean to rush you, but HURRY UP AND SAVE YOUR FRIENDS!
Okay, this was funny.

Given how charitible and full of agape their culture is, I can see why they would be so trusting, he did help them at first after all.
9472822
9472884
Yeah, this part of the movie was pretty hard to watch.
9472925
and yet it had the most cheerful song in the film
Woohoo! Secondary characters to the rescue!
Are you sure this is what you meant to say?
That scene with Fluttershy was AMAZING! Weaponized kindness, BA-BOOM!
9476051
corrected. I wouldn't call it weponized kindness, but it was super effective.
I like how you were able to improve the story from the movie (in all honesty I thought the movie was kinda meh, mostly with how Twilight was acting). I'm looking forward to the epilogue, and I'm hoping Discord makes one last appearance to hear what Fluttershy went through while he was sick.
And that's how it's done.
awesome
An awesome ending to another perfect story
I hope Mirror magic includes the other parts of Dance Magic which sets up a future issue and Movie magic which introduces the villain of the magical movie night specials.
Without them mirror magic just falls in as a rehash of season 5 finale. No set up. No reason. No motive. Nothing but wanting revenge without explaining it. That’s why the three part special was good. It showed they can do a continuous story. Dance magic sets up the showdown and the driving motive. Movie Magic introduces us to the villain and what lead her to desire vengeance and Mirror magic give the push and the tool for revenge and set up Sunset returning to Equestria again and reunite with Celestia in forgotten friendship. Without sunset being worried about magic on the loose she wouldn’t have go back and not meet Starlight which would mean they would be stuck in the mirror forever juniper being destroyed leaving the girl to be assumed dead. This prevents forget Friendship from happening and if they ever do get out. Sunset wouldn’t have the courage to go back. Leading to where the reunion doesn’t happen. And sadden by the betrayal and loss sunset could easily return to her old ways.
So mirror magic REQUIRES THE OTHER TWO!

Not in this AU. 😐
So, nothing about tempest becoming a guard for Twilight, maybe it Will be mentioned in another story. Otherwise nothing to say, except that it was awesome.

yeah... that's not going to happen
