Not to nitpick, Humanity, but a few paragraphs earlier James deleted Strike Chain.
6686693 Thanks for the alert. I'll fix that soon.
I swear it's so hard to keep track of what you have when you only have two weapon slots... Oh wait, doesn't that sound like a familiar problem in gaming these days?
*EDIT*
Uh... Actually, he got it back just a few paragraphs before that point from a manticore robot's stinger mechanism. I actually recall noticing that the Strike Chain was needed at one point and went back to edit it to insure he would get it back. You must have missed it.
6686731
Awesome! That checks out then.
Geez... that was definitely worth the wait. X is hard to do justice with, especially when you're effectively emulating him here. But... holy hell, that was just epic.
Now joining the likes of Rockman, we have Hu-Man!
6686731 I noticed that when Alpha had red eyes, I thought "Decepticon" and H was an "Autobot" even though his optics weren't blue! An EPIC chapter with an EPIC Transformers twist!!!
Very good, even the music... Maybe you could think about do a side-story in a future, as Project H and continue it like the comic.
6687370 It's something I've been considering, but just don't have enough to go on with the real Power Ponies and the six villains as IDW has only had them appear in one issue so far. Even the MLP wiki has virtually no info on the villains aside from Mane-iac.
6686932 If I may ask, which segments proved to be the most epic of this second half?
6687492 Everything! Not just the second half, but this whole arc! I used to hate the Power Ponies episode with a passion. It seemed useless and nothing but poorly done filler stuff to me. But this little sub-arc here was just... well... Perfect! And I don't use that word lightly.
You managed to draw a lot of similarities between James and X here without making it feel forced, but at the same time making it clear they are still different. Where X always hesitated to injure, James wasn't afraid to harm someone to stop them, but they both drew the line at killing defenseless people. Exhibit A: The Mane-iac and James' brutal beat down on her. If I had to guess, X was your inspiration for James in the first place.
You... actually, now that I think about it, you did to the Power Ponies episode what Lauren Faust did to the My Little Pony universe. You fleshed it out and made it infinitely more engaging, more realistic -well, as realistic as talking magic ponies can get at any rate- the villains were more than a punch-line joke and actually threatening, the characters were easier to relate to, and had more personality than a man staring at an orange juice bottle because it said "concentrate", and the plots actually have more solid backing than "Oh no, hug it before it makes us moderately uncomfortable!".
Then there's what you've added that was original. Granted, I've not really played the Mega Man X games, but I'm fairly certain X never combined his VWS powers with a beam saber, nor did he ever try combining two separate powers. Also, I don't think X was ever able to copy biological powers. But I'm not complaining! Most would call this making a Gary-Stu character, but you made it believable. I loved every second of this.
The only thing I have a bone to pick with on this, and the rest of this story, is your tendency to apply music with an actual youtube video instead of a link. Sometimes the music lasts longer than necessary and we're forced to backtrack in order to stop it... and I have a nasty habit of losing my spot when I do that. My suggestion is just making a word or phrase into a link that will lead to the song, that way we can open it in a new tab, and just close the tab if we need to stop the music before it ends on its own. No backtracking necessary.
So... yeah, I'm kinda having a bit of fan-boy overload over these last two chapters. I'm definitely going to be rereading them a few times.
6687563 Well, the use of the VWS with the H-Saber was more of a take on Zero's learning abilities than anything, although the ability X gained from Blaze Heatnix did require the use of the Z-Saber. As for combining two weapons into one, that was my own little quirk. Although it is understandable why some would see this X expy as a Gary stu in some ways. With his Infinite Evolutionary Potential, X is the ultimate Mega Man.
And I see what you mean, especially when it comes to extended songs. I'll keep that in mind for future inputs.
6687487 well... if don't exist nothing just create it, like you created it in this chapter and the one before. You are free to create what you think and even if you don't have real info about maretropolis, you can base a little from real comics like Batman or the Justice League
This entire arc is F$%#@&% EPIC!
Hmm.... Why do I get the feeling that Alpha is acting like Ultron here?
6689549 He's actually a Sigma expy. Complete with the facial scars the protagonist gave him at the start of his insurrection.
6688020 I suppose I could, though knowing what the comics have shown about the characters and villains would certainly help.
6689638 I think they didn't show anything, but even so it could be a AU from a already AU
Whoohoo, You Rock.
I thought I was seeing Mortal Kombat Scorpian, Strider, Turrican, because those are games Ive seen and played, not Megaman. the way various weapons and actions come into play, constantly increasing in complexity and power is one of my bugbears, as Im too slow to do anything but play Pokemon, as in turtle grind and only attack when I have a stupidly OP ability to make up for my total lack of style.
I think I manged to get through this chapter in about 6 hours, with supplies, and watching system backups, now I can head off happily.
Thank you so very much for one of the best single chapter presents Ive ever seen.
Even more reason to win the lotto, buy or rent an animation firm, and get this made.
Pity he couldnt take multiple Energy drinks with him, should make great grenades, Boskonion Bomb Boosters when combined with the H Cannon.
Wow this arc was amazing and it was so adventurous us readers can see what the the power ponies and Project H can accomplish and despite their skills returning to rookie level for a short time it was still great how you made them powerful but not overly powerful as some writers tend to do that. Not only that it was actually amazing to see fluttershy go Hulk and actually being the hero instead of being the support. It was funny and understandable on how everyone else felt uncomfortable with the appearance and voice of how she was. This series was amazing and the way it says to be continued makes me really tense hoping that it was popular enough with the other readers to receive a second arc, though the overall decision is in the hands of you Humanity if you are willing to continue it. This chapter was so fun to read and the sense of hopelessness and the emotions the needed feels for Project H being on the verge of death can really affect any beings especially for heroes. This really hit me home as I played mega man Zero 4 it really gets to me as I have reached the ending and how James fought against Alpha and the ursa minor it was really a good feel there. Great chapter and I hope you have a nice day. I look forward to the next chapter when it comes.
6689609 The hecks that when it's at home?? XD Epic chapter though!
*Heavy breathing* Phew! Finally read the entire thing, it's tiring reading the 4th biggest story on Fimfiction. All i can say about this story is wow, i find it fascinating how a story this big can still be interesting and give something new each time.
If you really want to know i'm the guy who audition for Phalanx.
6728501 Sorry, I was just getting fed up with lots of downvotes without being told exactly where I went wrong. Gets frustrating after a while. I'll go ahead and remove that.
i liked it to and want to read more into the story.
6755764 Not to mention you can easily forgive a petty psychopath for nearly destroying all of the world by screwing with the space time continuum.
I had to put off reading these last 2 chapters when they were first released because of lack of time due to school, but would I have known What it contained, I would've read them anyway!
Again, a set of masterpieces. Really long, but excellently written masterpieces. I swear, I do not understand how you manage to write chapters as long as whole books, and still manage to keep it interesting. You have my compliments and deepest support in this series. It's by far one of my favourite ways to spend time.
6759809 If I may ask, what stood out in these two chapters to you? Feedback has been scarce lately.
6760169
Ay, the feedback. I'll try, but I've never been good at giving it.
First off, I think that, specifically present in these 2 chapters, and the ones with the fights with Discord, it's really clear you're extremely versatile. You manage to keep finding other things do do, making you able to write a long fight, without it becoming repetitive. It's something not many writers can do, or at least aren't nearly as good at as you.
Secondly, The creativity. Limiting yourself to only 2 slots for the VWS gives you room for decision making. Internal struggles, even if they're as little as decision maker about how smart it is to delete a certain technique in case you are able to get a new one later on, makes a story so much more interesting, since you can this with the character. "Was deleting that the right choice?" "Will he make it without this ability?" are questions that come to mind, making you want to read further to get to the answer.
With that, you're over all just a great writer. You're able to go very in-depth, as if you're living it yourself. This makes your story very immersive, to the point of me seeing it as a sort of film flashing before my eyes. This is always something I have respect for. You also manage to find a balance between detail and leaving things to speculation. I have this one imagination of Alpha, but someone else's might just look different, while still keeping itself to a guideline.
Overall the chapters were just well-written and very creative as always. I'll most certainly be sure to try and get my hands on those hard-cover prints if they do ever become a thing. I'd love to support you via Patreon but it just isn't in my finances right now. ;-;
Anyway, write on! I'll keep following this story till its end, since it never manages to bore me.
~Slayer
P.S. Holy shit, all the forth-wall and pinkie jokes in general. You can write her as good, if not better than the show writers. I couldn't help but laugh at her antics. xD
6761438 I actually meant to throw in an Astro Boy gag at one point, but completely forgot about it. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what it involved.
6775589 I should so totally consider that for later chapters.
6769607 I was breastfed, it's just weird. It's natural to drink your mother's milk. But if it's someone other than your mother isn't that just a little weird? I'd be uncomfortable if I was breastfed by someone other than my own mother when I was a baby.
6776841
yep.
Two days to write? Dang. It took me about four or five days to finish this chapter. Lol
70k words! I've put this chapter off for so long! Wish me luck...
Only took me an hour and thirty seven minutes to finish.
6761438 yep!
Holy throne, that was epic!
This segment was good but I felt it was way to drawn out and was tempted to skip the second half of it but I finally made it through it.
That was indeed an intense read, yet very enjoyable. You sure know how to keep readers on the edges of their seats. Lol
Intense work.
By the by, thanks for not calling the chapter "Preparation H"
9601805
*Googles Preparation H, chuckles to myself*
Well James doesn’t have any blood because he’s a robot. (I know that’s an idiom for anger I’m only joking around)
10640516
Substitute blood for hydraulic fluid then.
This is how a lot of people become a brony.

That's the point of the scene.
They're becoming self aware....
